6. Northern Sky; Way To Blue - The Songs of Nick Drake 

@Joseph Consoli - I also love Nick Drake's songs - I have Pink Moon on constantly in my car! However, I don't agree that his mental problems were the result of being a deep thinker. An obsessive thinker perhaps? Thinking deeply about things doesn't necessarily lead a person to mental illness.

@@honeychurchgipsy6 You've got it - "Obsessive thinker". I have that issue, so I understand what Nick was going through. You can force yourself to quiet your mind, but seconds later, the need floods back. Other than Northern Sky, "River Man" is another of my favs.

@@josephconsoli4128 - yes I too suffer from obsessional thinking and anxiety. I find that Mindfulness helps - and so does making tea from CBD bud just before bed. The Mindfulness exercise is simple: just focus on your breathing - every time your mind wanders - bring it back to your breathing - it works. Another thing I do is say "Okay, I'm going to worry about this tomorrow".

@@honeychurchgipsy6 Very good advice. Thank you. My anxiety also came with high blood pressure, which together caused me to have a stroke in my 40's, but I survived okay. I'm on 3 meds now that really does help the anxiety and worry, but has side effects too, and racing thoughts still persist. I have tried CBD, but not as tea. I must try that. I tried meditation and studied Zen philosophy, but you find that sooner or later you have to return back to just living life. It's like a drug that wears off after a while. I'm just glad I never had suicidal thoughts like Nick.

@@josephconsoli4128 - I feel for you and hope you have some joy and freedom from anxiety in your life. I tried CBD oils and found they had no affect (I have chronic pain and was trying to cut down on my Dihydrocodeine). But then I tried the whole bud/flower - just like normal weed but with virtually no THC. It's legal in the UK where I live and I find it really helps with pain, sleep and anxiety. Half a teaspoon (2.5mls) in a tea pig (a tiny tea strainer thingy that immerses in the boiling water on a chain) with some honey, lemon and fresh ginger works well for me. Alternatively, take a piece of chewing gum (a strip like the old style juicy fruit) and roll up some bud inside it. Chew for 5-10 minutes. The gum prevents your mouth becoming numb. The quickest, and most efficient, way to get a hit though is via a vape, but I find them fiddly to load and clean, especially when I'm in a lot of pain. I'm curious about what you say regarding meditation: perhaps stop thinking about it as a cure all/philosophy and use it as a tool to assist with symptoms when needed? Have you read the Wikipedia page on Nick Drake? Do you know Richard and Linda Thompson? Linda went out with Nick Drake before she married Richard. Richard Thompson is one of my favourite singer/song writer/guitarists on the planet.

It's good but a bit slow

Very good, but definitely not better. However, the orchestra gave it the heartfelt emotion it needed.

Someone should tell where to get off To such a nasty and disparaging person. My best accolades and compliments to the singer.
