Μια επιλογή του stcigar για το June born musicians tribute. Ένα τραγούδι του Nick Drake, Βρετανού folkster των late ’60s – early ‘70s. Ενός καλλιτέχνη που, εντελώς άγνωστος όσο ζούσε, θα γνώριζε “ανέλπιστη επιτυχία” έτη πολλά μετά το θάνατό του, σε ηλικία 26 χρόνων.

A proposal from stcigar for the June born musicians tribute. A song by Nick Drake, British folkster of the late ’60s – early ’70s. An artist who, completely unknown during his lifetime, would experience “unexpected success” many years after his death, at the age of 26.

❝ Tramp moves on to the end of the street
I listen to the echo of his hobnail feet
For some there’s a future to find
But I think they’re leaving me behind
The world hurries on at its breakneck pace
People fly by in their lifelong race
For them there’s a future to find
And I think they’re leaving me behind
The chances, they come but the chances have been lost
Success can be gained, but at too great a cost
For some there’s a future to find
But I think they’re leaving me behind
The wind sweeps up and goes back to its tree
The rain flows by and moves on to the sea
For them there’s a future to find
But I think they’re leaving me behind ❞

Enjoy!

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
