Taste Test: Grace Gillespie remembers a legend on ‘Song for Nick Drake’
The rising folk star remembers one of the greatest songwriters to exist.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones.
“Poetry is not dead / I saw her shivering in the ground / Nick, I’m sorry they didn’t not listen / You know, it nearly broke my heart.” Grace Gillespie heaves all the sorrow she has left. “Song for Nick Drake” is as the title suggests, a tribute to one of the most greatest storytellers to ever walk the earth. Gillespie reassesses Drake’s influence while observing how often she takes life, even the mundane things, for granted. Her voice glides, very lark-like, on the melody, and it’ll soon be enough to rip your heart out.
“Song for Nick Drake” samples her new EP, After the Harvest Moon, out everywhere now.
