Free Music Notes for Five Leaves Left
Free Music Review: For Drake, Fame WAS but a Fruit Tree
Hit: 5 Stars
Pink Moon was dark as they come, but Five Leaves Left, despite others saying it is the most depressing of the three, or some other stuff, it's like an autumn morning. Or a dark night on the river. It's also longer, and features more than just the guitar. Nothing is as naked as Pink Moon, but Five Leaves Left is beautiful, and, if you have the ears, becomes apparent with the first seven seconds of The Thoughts of Mary Jane (though to me it seems about drugs).
Five Leaves Left takes me on a journey to the rivers, forests, star-filled sky, and sunsets (sometimes with a girl on my side, sometimes not). Drake's lyrics, as always, are filled with lyrics of hope , depression, life. Sometime, I really need to take a music based journey to the places that conjure in my mind. Really experience the music (actually, you all should, NOW). That's a testament that how, some music, can really be more than just a mere listen.
I think I would stop right now, because Five Leaves Left has been described just by that last paragraph. Man this review was crappy! While not as good as other albums, some albums, even if they aren't the greatest to exist, just cannot be said with justice (at least my attempt at it). Shows when you try to review albums you really just can't explain. Just. Listen.
9/10
Five Leaves Left Poster
There's not a single dud in the trilogy of albums that singer/songwriter Nick Drake released during his all-too-short career. And 1968's Five Leaves Left--his first album--is certainly no exception. Drake's sensitive guitar work and sensitive vocals are backed by the baroque sounds of a chamber string group, and the platter's lyrics show maturity well beyond the age of their 20-year-old creator. Sparser than its follow-up, the jazzy Bryter Layter, but less tortured than Drake's dark final chapter, Pink Moon, Five Leaves Left is a classic British folk disc. Songs like "River Man," "The Thoughts of Mary Jane," and "Day Is Done" are among Drake's finest moments. Newcomers be forewarned: this music is as infectious as it is bleak, and a purchase of Drake's boxed set Fruit Tree might be a wise investment. --Jason VerlindeReissue of the late British folk icon's 1969 debut album. Ten tracks. Island.
