To me, this song is about solitude. It's about Nick's acceptance that his existence will never be understood, and that even today, nobody could. Nick's influence in this tune is almost time-traveler like, in that he knows the perceptions of happiness have been corrupted long ago and has yet to be restored, and that it will take a lot for humanity to finally reach that point. So he embraces what he has left, the music he poured his soul into.
He can be understood, but only by those who love magic. You'll see them sometimes, in a glance or in passing. Something just strikes you about those lost souls
really bothers me that this version isn’t on spotify because it’s the one i used to listen to in the car with my mom growing up. now they only have the orchestral version.
"I Was Made To Love Magic" I was born to love no one No one to love me Only the wind in the long green grass The frost in a broken tree. I was made to love magic All its wonder to know But you all lost that magic Many many years ago. I was born to use my eyes Dream with the sun and the skies To float away in a lifelong song In the mist where melody flies. I was made to love magic... I was born to sail away Into a land of forever Not to be tied to an old stone grave In your land of never. I was made to love magic...
I likely pronounce "years" the same way (half from Reading and half from Manchester, the Reading accent stuck more, and it is not far from Cambridge).... Nick Drake's voice is certainly unique though, have never heard another who sounds like him, yet he is one of my biggest influences regarding my own music
nick drake's music is almost unbelievably pure, powerful and graceful. listening to his sublime works, it feels like i have no worries in this world only until the song ends. so, so sad how someone that was utterly magnificent was suffering so much alone. i always come to his music whenever i feel like life is too much to handle. his music never fails to give me an indescribable joy.
The fragility in his voice is mesmerizing. I love this man for explaining where he went and reminding me I don't need to live there... Happy and sad at the same time his spirit is truly beautiful. Be nice to each other x
nick drake is one of the best musicians in the world. nunca senti tanto a un musico como a nick espero que descanse para siempre en paz y que sepa que hay gente que lo escucha,

It really is amazing... both mother and son could write songs that would bring a grown man to tears... purely touching I somewhat relate, my Mum is a piano teacher and forced me to learn piano as a kid (though I preferred guitar and started on her old classical guitar)... I wouldn't say I inherited her talent, I can write, play, and sing songs, but she has far more natural talent (even if she'll never admit so)

This life is the "magic", a grand illusion. It's only a dreamer and his dream. If you look, you'll see this theme every place. The Wizard of Oz, the Matrix, Poe, Blake, Shakespeare, even scripture (Adam never woke from his sleep).
There is a huge difference in the class of the two lads. Nick Drake was a great artist and produced some legendary music. Jeff Buckley died young too but sharing this feature with Nick Drake does not make him great. In the only album he produced, Jeff actually struggles with singing. The music is pretty ordinary too. He did cover one of the Leonard Cohen songs well though and the only highlight of his album is Hallelujah.
Nick had what idiot doctors call psychosis. The decent doctors call it, now, Distress. He was a total gentleman and gentle to a tee. It's time we woke up to the fact that mental illness does not exist in the manner doctors and media think of it. Start a Nick revolution and speak out FOR distressed people, because it just might be someone as special as Nick Drake. Nick Drake's songs are about God mostly. You can say he is a genius or a crackpot. I know where I stand on this.

Phil thanks for your comments on so called Psychosis . My Brother had this distress in his 30s . He died of suicide 5 yrs ago. Nick was his favourite musician. Whatever you call distress it ruins lives as i know .
I love Nick but I think this is as unapropriate as it gets. Doctors follow rules estabilished by science and unfortunatelly there's a lot we still don't know about the brain and what makes us humans. To go from there to undermining Medicine and go straight to God is an overstatement. Nick Drake certainly wasn't thinking of that when he wrote this masterpiece.
I was born to love this man.
He is a phantastic musician
Me too ❤
I wish him to have found love in his lifetime. There are millions with love for him now 💕
m that man
Good grief grow up

Nicely put, especially the time-traveller part, a great explanation of Nick's being.
He can be understood, but only by those who love magic. You'll see them sometimes, in a glance or in passing. Something just strikes you about those lost souls
Simply put… lovely, sad, beautiful, mournful, and I was born to love Nick Drake
What a gorgeous, melancholy song. I hope Nick is now where the melody flies.
R.I.P

who cares though?! Spotify is such a trap and limits your musical tastes!
@ i care because my family pays for spotify premium so i can’t listen to it with my other music…
@@liv5296 bro, just download it then off soulseek, thats a valuable program nobody knows about
This is the best version of this song. I'm constantly surprised that it's never on the newer compilations. Crazy.
Fragile beautiful genius. Nobody will ever compare to him.
A tragic life. The beautiful music he made wasn't #1 until after his death. I will love him forever.
So far away but so close to my heart
"I Was Made To Love Magic"
I was born to love no one
No one to love me
Only the wind in the long green grass
The frost in a broken tree.
I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many many years ago.
I was born to use my eyes
Dream with the sun and the skies
To float away in a lifelong song
In the mist where melody flies.
I was made to love magic...
I was born to sail away
Into a land of forever
Not to be tied to an old stone grave
In your land of never.
I was made to love magic...

He does "we're" the same way elsewhere (esp. on the Hazey Jane 1 demo); it's distinctly RP
@@Fintan33 😄 Exactly!
@@t.s9021 Definitely.
I heard an interview with his parents and another with his sister, they all have that same RP-English accent.
It hurts when you are finally understood but by a dead man
He isn`t dead.He lives within many.

"I was born to use my eyes

Yes!
The 'secret' of Nick is all in this song.
tao
The secret of what life actually is....
Eres el hermano de Luca verdad? el escribiò Nick's Song por Nick Drake es verdad? cuentame como fue que el descubriò a Nick Drake, un abrazo Andrea
what is it? lol
...and he sailed away in the land of forever...
the finest folk-rock song this side of donovan who, incidentally, was probably more of an influence on drake than many acknowledge.
The fragility in his voice is mesmerizing. I love this man for explaining where he went and reminding me I don't need to live there...
Happy and sad at the same time his spirit is truly beautiful.
Be nice to each other x
There's a sense of Donovan in this song. Beautiful.
Absolutely mesmerising arrangement wrapped in minor chord perfection.
nick drake is one of the best musicians in the world.

I was made to love this song
dear Nick, thank you for the beautiful music !
I was born to love no one
No one to love me
Only the wind in the long green grass
The frost in a broken tree
I was made to love magic
All its wonder to know
But you all lost that magic
Many, many years ago
I was born to use my eyes
Dream with the sun and the skies
To float away in a lifelong song
In the mist where melody flies
I was made to love magic
I was born to sail away
Into a land of forever
Not to be tied to an old stone grave
In your land of never
Music is the only thing that makes sense to me. Nick explaines here!
This song sinks deep into my being. what great greatness.
This song is me. I love it. I love Nick.
Niko Siavos me too
I heard some of Nick's mother's recordings/songs , and could tell where Nick got some of his melodic phrasings from. Genetic. In his blood.
It really is amazing... both mother and son could write songs that would bring a grown man to tears... purely touching
I somewhat relate, my Mum is a piano teacher and forced me to learn piano as a kid (though I preferred guitar and started on her old classical guitar)... I wouldn't say I inherited her talent, I can write, play, and sing songs, but she has far more natural talent (even if she'll never admit so)
I love this song, very nice and deep voice. This singer was a great artist expressing amazing deep feelings.
Lovely Song...Lovely man..

So happy I've just discovered this - i feel that Rufus Wainwright shares some similarities but this is just beyond flamboyant. Love it.
WONDERFUL !! I LOVE AND SING THIS SONG !!
I was reborn in May 1958, long after Nick this time...
Quanta solitudine, fragilità...ti abbraccio teneramante
Beautiful song
he,s so dreamy perfect Nick Drake i loved you all my life, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Stunning
RIP Nick
The grall my friends...😉👍👍👍
Wonderful !!
great compilation album !
Самая грустная и красивая музыка. Ник Дрейк уникален.
Love
I think this song is about childhood. references to ''land of forever'' and he saying that ''you all lost that magic many many years ago''.
Nop.

Scripture. Sleep and death are equated to life on earth.

why? what did it trigger?
Love Nick..💜
we interpret as we do:) timeless
Hermosa canción..
peace and love earthlings
Lo amo para siempre.
Much better version than the later re-mix with new strings....the strings on that later version sound out of sync.
I think both versions are amazing!
I prefer the string version
string version weighs it down too much, this is airy and light, Magic!
💕
how can this song be an outtake...
He's singing like Nico from Velvet Underground here.
Bread Harrity that’s what I’ve always thought, just couldn’t put it into words
@@basehead617 Glad someone else agrees.
I would have loved to hear Nico cover this
And some Donovan
Juan Gabriel tiene su versión de está rola, esa que dice: Yo no nací para amar, nadie nació para mi
The orchestral version of this is horrible. Thank you so much!
He and Jeff Buckley, I hope, dance and sing in unison closer to God
😊🤍🤍🤍🙌🙏😇 Angels

i correct myself: is definitely "bolero" (much better, right?)
I was born to live liike this man loving but having no one!

his lyrics are very deep. I'm always struck by all the sun and moon references that run throughout his music
