A skin too few
Sometimes I need to listen to Nick Drake. He was a great english songwriter that composed his music between the 60th and 70th in the 60s and 70s before disappearing in the 1974, committing a sort of suicide taking, by an overdose of amitriptyline. His music was so deep and pure, it's very far from anything I have heard.
Today searching among my music collection, I found this documentary of the Dutch filmmaker Jeroen Berkvens. I decided to watch it again, also to improve my English, using English subtitles. I remember that I watched to it the first time during a special event about Nick in my hometown. The film was presented by (the producer of Nick/Nick's producer), Joe Boyd.
I particulary love this documentary and I find it very touching. The way it was directed is quite unusual with a lot of slow scenes or even still images and music - most of the tracks were taken from the raw recordings of Nick - that seems is played among the walls of Nick's house, (not sure about this) and it seems to fit the mood that he probably felt during his life.
If you already know him and you never watched this documentary, just try to watch it here: http://www.viddler.com/v/ddc7dbb4
In the case you don't even know him, I suggest you to discover him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake
Here are some links of songs that I particulary love:

oh but to be honest I love everything he made!0 votedMay 5, 20131- York. Vivo a York, in il nord-est dell'Inghilterra. York è una città ma è abbastanza piccola. Ci sono edifici bellissimi, per esempio York Minster, una cattedrale gigante. Ci sono molti turisti in York, particolarmente il sabato e è difficile camminare velocemente se sei in fretta! Una cosa grande di York è che ha molti negozi di cioccolati e fudge. Ha un buon gusto... Se ti visiti, assicuri che ti non diventare grasso!
