Vashti Bunyan & Gareth Dickson - The Thoughts of Mary Jane (Nick Drake cover)

Nick Drake would have turned 70 today 🌿
Vashti Bunyan & Gareth Dickson - The Thoughts of Mary Jane
Album "Green Leaves - Nick Drake Covered" (Mojo - March 2018)
/ nickdrakeofficial
"Who can know the thoughts of Mary Jane?
Why she flies or goes out in the rain
Where she's been and who she's seen
In her journey to the stars
Who can know the reason for her smile?
What are her dreams when they've journeyed for a mile?
The way she sings and her brightly-coloured rings
Make her the princess of the sky
Who can know what happens in her mind?
Did she come from a strange world and leave her mind behind?
Her long-lost sighs and her brightly-coloured eyes
Tell her story to the wind
Who can know the thoughts of Mary Jane?
Why she flies or goes out in the rain
Where she's been and who she's seen
In her journey to the stars"

This song is like a good dream.

Sublime. Difficult to imagine Nick at 70. I am not mourning the songs he never wrote only his loss and celebrating his life and the ones he left us with. My heart aches but the music soothes the pain. All is mended. Lovely tribute.

Vashti, please do a whole album of Nick Drake, this is very beautiful.

So beautiful. Can't believe he's been dead for almost all of my life... Vashti is superb. In general, here in particular as is Gareth. I was/still am very moved. Thank you. (yes I had heard it before, haven't given up entirely all my old habits if one can call Mojo a habit)
