"If you haven't heard him... man, it's like he boiled down all the melancholy in the world, all the bruises and all the f**ked-up dreams you've let go, and poured the essence into a little tiny bottle and corked it up. And when he starts to play & sing, he takes the cork out, and you can smell it. You're pinned into your seat, as if it's a wall of noise, but it's not- it's still, and quiet, and you don't want to breathe in case you frighten it away."
- JJ from Nick Hornby's A Long Way Down talking about listening to Nick Drake's Five Leaves Left.
