Place to Be - Nick Drake

"Place to Be" is the second track on Nick Drake's most self-reflective album Pink Moon. A guitar and his voice are the only things used to convey his melancholy emotions and do so effectively. Though stark and unadorned, Drake's inner turmoil is shown primarily through his intricate self-taught finger picking. Throughout his life, Drake sought recognition and appreciation but never found it. This, unfortunately, led to his untimely death when in 1974 at the age of 26, he ironically overdosed on anti-depressants. Posthumously, Drake found fame after Volkswagon used the title track "Pink Moon" in a commercial. His delicate music is finally getting the attention it has deserved all along.
