Beverley Martyn- Where The Good Times Are
Später, und Rotwein
Beverly Martin sings (not so very well, i must admit) a song written by her and Nick Drake. So sad Nick didn't have the strength to keep on living and make more beautiful music (though imagine him going to an eighties-phase like everyone else did....)

Nick quite enjoyed hearing different takes on his lyrics:
From what I have read, I think Nick really enjoyed people “mishearing” and creating their own versions of his lyrics. Maybe Joe Boyd mentions this somewhere. One example, relates to the Northern Sky line: “I never held emotion in the palm of my hand”. Somewhere I read that he visiting with John and Beverly Martyn. He was playing/working on Northern Sky. One of their kids was outside with Nick (I think their house was close to the ocean), and the child held up his/her cupped hand, lining it up by eye to the distant sea saying “you see Nick - I can hold an ocean in the palm of my hand.” Nick loved the comment – the story might have been related by Beverley. Then I read this from Paul Wheeler in the Pete Paphides essay: “That right, yes. It’s all to do with the view from John Martyn’s house in Hastings. There’s the line, ‘Held an ocean in the palm of my hand’ – which is all to do with a remark that Nick made to me. He was holding a raspberry in the palm of his hand when he was stoned, and someone commented that it was actually a bunch of grapes. Nick laughed that this was unquestionably ‘true’.”

Aaahhhh, so beautiful :) John and Beverley...I really wish I'd been the age I am now in the early 70s during the folk scene...
