A troubled cure for a troubled mind

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2005

Verified Purchase

When my good friend Phil recommended this CD to me, he helpfully provided a product advisory. "I'm warning you," Phil emailed. "It's really melancholy stuff, so make sure you don't have any sharp objects lying around when you listen to it."

Like any good Irishman, I love mournful music, and I have a particular weakness for suicidal musicians, especially the ones that died too early to suck. So Phil's words of warning were like catnip to me. Move over Joy Division, Nirvana, and Elliott Smith; make room in the Case Logic for some Nick Drake.

I soon found that Phil was right--and wrong.

On one hand, "Five Leaves Left" feels like the saddest CD ever recorded. You can't fake these emotions; every poignant lyric, every aching guitar chord, and every weeping cello proclaim that this is the voice of a troubled and self-critical soul. Nick Drake died of an overdose at the age of 26; oddly enough, of his three albums, this first one sounds most like a suicide note.

Granted, there's some debate among his fans as to whether his death was indeed a suicide, whether the overdose was accidental or deliberate. On one hand, he OD'd on antidepressants, even though barbituates were available, and he didn't leave a note. On the other hand, he'd already written "Fruit Tree."

Has any musician penned a more convincing suicide note? I doubt it. "Safe in your place deep in the earth/That's when they'll know what you were truly worth." I'm sorry, Ian Curtis--"Closer" may come close, but nothing's more depressing than that. And unlike, say, Elliott Smith, whose pop sensibilities often contrasted his morbid lyrics, every note of this song amplifies its mournfulness.

Still, this album is comforting in its melancholia--it doesn't leave you feeling suicidal, because you listen to it and know there's someone out there who has felt your feelings and given voice to your thoughts. In fact, it's perfect music to listen to at sunset on a Sunday night, when the day and the weekend are over and you haven't accomplished anything and you're facing another 40 hour week of work-related drudgery. If you're thinking of picking up a guitar and hiring a string arranger and writing a song about those emotions, don't bother--you won't do any better than "Day is Done," a 2-and-a-half-minute gem that perfectly encapsulates those feelings.

So cheer up, all you sad people--there's a man out there who understood you, even though he never met you. I wish he'd found a way out of the depression, found a way to stick around, write new songs, and keep his old songs from being used in Volkswagon commercials; they say dying young's a great career move, but you miss out on a lot, and when you're dead you can't stop people from doing silly things with your back catalog. Also, even though people romanticize depression and drug overdoses, they really aren't all that fun, especially for those left behind. But Nick left us with some great music, and we can at least be thankful for that. "Don't you worry," he sang, to us, and to himself. "They'll stand and stare when you're gone." Amen, brother.

The late, great, Nick Drake

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

I think it's safe to say Nick Drake was a musician of genius. Five Leaves Left came out when he was only 21 years old. An amazing effort for someone so young. FLL is an album that appeals on different levels: lyrics, voice, guitar work. Unfortunately Drake never had a producer worthy of his gifts and some of the songs on FLL sound like they were recorded in someone's apartment.

Drake's lyrics are refreshingly literate, mature and unpretentious for a 21 years young man of that time (1969). His meanings are sometimes oblique, but he comes up with good lines and you are given things to think about. He references nature a lot, in a 60's hippie way, but even here he's restrained and matter of fact. A shadowing melancholy is apparent in FLL. By the time of Pink Moon it had become very apparent.

Drake's voice is soft, velvety and very recognizable. He sounds English. Posh English as a matter of fact - which he was, as his family was upper class. His range is rather limited, probably not much more than an octave, and you won't hear any vocal dramatics from him. I suspect this was one reasons his albums didn't sell (while he was alive). But his voice was a nice albeit low key complement to his guitar gifts.

Drake was better than good on guitar and his songs revolve around that. His voice had its limits, his lyrics were thoughtful but in an understated English way. His guitar was the star. Particularly his use of unusual modalities and chord progressions. This isn't immediately apparent but a few bars into River Man and you find yourself saying, "Hey, that was well done!" That was his main genius: his ability to find guitar lines well off the beaten path and go exploring. His words and voice were leaves floating on a stream of notes bubbling out of his guitar. He was quite technically gifted and could sing while playing complicated guitar lines. No small feat there.

As I mentioned earlier Drake's producer (and back up musicians) did him no special favors. If you listen to him playing alone he sounds better than with all the strings, saxes and flutes thrown into the mix. He would have benefited greatly had he a producer who knew how to make his music jump out and maybe rattle the china here and there. Had FLL been a Nick Drake solo effort I'd give it five stars (listen to the John Peel sessions on YouTube). But the uninspired producing and accompaniment only drag it down.

Given that Drake was an accomplished singer/songwriter at only 21 you have to wonder what he would have achieved had he not fallen into the mire of depression that put an end to him.

Il primo capolavoro di Nick Drake da avere in vinile!subito!

Reviewed in Italy on August 4, 2021

Cosa differenzia un artista da un esecutore? L’estro di colui che crea dal metodo di colui che scrive? Non è facile determinare con precisione quanto è grande, ed allo stesso tempo quasi invisibile, la linea che separa colui che pratica un mestiere da colui che insegue una passione. Nella storia della musica moderna si possono trovare queste figure (alcune meno famose di altre), in grado di distinguersi e rimanere impresse nella memoria degli ascoltatori. Personaggi che si portano sulle spalle storie difficili, delle quali forse non sapremo mai veramente abbastanza per poter comprendere appieno la complessa personalità dei propri protagonisti. Per poter parlare del disco di oggi occorre tornare indietro di qualche decennio, per la precisione sul finire degli anni 60 e bisogna prendere le distanze da tutto ciò che rese famoso quel periodo (le grandi evoluzioni che, come ben sappiamo, scossero violentemente il mondo della musica, e non solo) per immergersi nelle retrovie di questi grandi eventi, dove un timido e riservato ragazzo di circa vent’anni, di nome Nick Drake, pubblica il suo primo disco.Five Leaves Left parla già chiaro, dimostrandosi un'opera mirabilmente pregna di sentimento e poesia. ... Five Leaves Left non è un disco facile da approcciare, e se preso nella maniera sbagliata può risultare estremamente noioso ed insipido.
