A spooky similarity

Chris Cornell cited Nick Drake as an influence.

Both men struggled with depression and took their own lives.

Drake died of an overdose of antidepressants in 1974.

Drake was a poster child for tortured soul with amazing gifts, he suffered tremendously.

Damn this is beautiful.

"Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
In summertime
Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure
For when she thought of summer rain
Callin' for her mind again
She lost the pain
And stayed for more
Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the ban
On feelin' free
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose
It's meant for me"

And the short was good too.
Used to go to coffee houses back in the late 60s to sell my paintings, his songs were popular there.
