Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.Straighten my new mind’s eye.Brighten my northern sky. : British Song writer and singer : Nick Drake ( 1948 – 1974 )
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons, knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you’re here
Brighten my northern sky
I’ve been a long time that I’m waiting
Been a long that I’m blown
I’ve been a long time that I’ve wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind’s eye
Would you love me for my money?
Would you love me for my head?
Would you love me through the winter?
Would you love me ’til I’m dead?
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons, knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you’re here
Brighten my northern sky

Patrick Humphries wrote of the song: “The atmosphere is dense, suggesting silver moons sailing on a raven black sea, wind lightly ruffling the hair of the treetops, all stoked by a crazy kind of magic; and the alchemy is fuelled by Cale’s hymnal organ and soaring piano figures.” Music critic Peter Paphides described it as, “the most unabashedly joyful song in his canon.”The song was issued as a promotional CD maxi-single for the 1994 compilation album Way to Blue: An Introduction to Nick Drake. In 2004 the NME described the song as the “greatest English love song of modern times”. The song appears on the 2005 compilation album Anthems in Eden: An Anthology of British & Irish Folk 1955–1978, and in the closing scene of the 2001 American romantic comedy film Serendipity. : : : : CLICK HERE to enjoy the Closing Scene of Serendipity 2001(અચાનક બનતી રસપ્રદ ઘટના ; એવું દૃશ્ય : પ્રતિભાન્વિત શોધ) alongwith the Song : : https://youtu.be/kMBktdvogT0 Though during his life his music went relatively unnoticed, over the years his popularity and influence has continued to grow. : : :::::: CLICK HERE to View the Chorus of Kids Singing with their Coach Of Music : : 2004:: https://youtu.be/EZ5X4qesLRs The northern celestial hemisphere, also called the Northern Sky, is the northern half of the celestial sphere; that is, it lies north of the celestial equator. This arbitrary sphere appears to rotate westward around a polar axis due to Earth’s rotation. At any given time, the entire Northern Sky is visible from the geographic North pole while less of this hemisphere is visible the further south the observer is located. The southern counterpart is the Southern celestial hemisphere : : So, brighten your northern sky along with this beautiful joyous song:::: The singer sings about the hope a new romantic involvement had given him. : : :::: Song information Appreciation and poem Analysis Presented by V Jayaraj Pune India May 21 , 2022 : : : : : : : : : :
