Tanworth-in-Arden


Found this erie pink moon at Nick Drake's gravesite in the churchyard at the St. Mary Magdeline in Tanworth-in-Arden, England.
Brings to mind his words
"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."
Listening to the German band Wir Sind Helden. Their completely wonderful. Through and through. The last song on the album "Bist du nicht müde" is achingly beautiful. (Mind you I have no idea what their singing about). But it's beautiful. Beautiful like spring and crocuses and sun behind the clouds. High rivers, dirty streets, and that washed out pale blue of late winter skies on days when it's clear and crisp. All that and the roses that someone placed at the foot of Nick Drake's headstone. A quiet, lonely night. Cold outside the windows. Here's to you Nick.
