Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till it's stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.
Forgotten while you're here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.
Life is but a memory
Happened long ago.
Theatre full of sadness
For a long forgotten show.
Seems so easy
Just to let it go on by
Till you stop and wonder
Why you never wondered why.
Safe in the womb
Of an everlasting night
You find the darkness can
Give the brightest light.
That's when they'll know what you were really worth.
Forgotten while you're here
Remembered for a while
A much updated ruin
From a much outdated style.
Fame is but a fruit tree
So very unsound.
It can never flourish
Till it's stalk is in the ground.
So men of fame
Can never find a way
Till time has flown
Far from their dying day.
Fruit tree, fruit tree
No-one knows you but the rain and the air.
Don't you worry
They'll stand and stare when you're gone.
Fruit tree, fruit tree
Open your eyes to another year.
They'll all know
That you were here when you're gone.
The lyrics FRUIT TREE of NICK DRAKE is also present in the album Five leaves left (1968)
Nicholas Rodney Drake, noto come Nick Drake, è stato un cantautore e chitarrista inglese nato nel 1948. La sua musica, caratterizzata da melodie malinconiche e testi introspettivi, si inserisce principalmente nel genere folk-rock. Drake ha pubblicato tre album in studio durante la sua breve carriera: *Five Leaves Left* (1969), *Bryter Layter* (1970) e *Pink Moon* (1972). Nonostante un'iniziale mancanza di successo commerciale, il suo lavoro è stato riscoperto negli anni '80, diventando oggetto di culto tra appassionati di musica indie e folk. Drake è ricordato per la sua sensibilità poetica, la raffinata tecnica chitarristica e l'atmosfera introversa che permea le sue canzoni. Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono *Pink Moon*, *Northern Sky* e *Cello Song*. La sua vita fu segnata da una profonda malinconia e da un senso di alienazione, che si riflette nella sua musica. Drake morì nel 1974 all'età di soli 26 anni a causa di un'overdose accidentale di barbiturici.
