RIP Nick fucking Drake
As sad as his story was it’s so good to see someone who was in love with their craft and knew what the pinnacle of that was and enjoyed the process of creating art regardless of what attention it gets. Sometimes amazing talents never blow up while they are here.

RIP Bradley. Sublime was my favorite band as a teenager. Loved them so much, I learned all of their songs on guitar and bass.

My dad used to be friends with Nick Drake back in the 70s. My uncle was obsessed with Nick and spent loads of his time trying to learn Nicks songs, but had no clue his brother (my dad) had been friends with him until after his death. Purely because my Dad didn’t know he was into Nicks music, Nick wasn’t very famous at the time.

Bradleys son is now older than his dad was when he died.... thats how long ago it's been. One band that had moderate success after their death, was For Squirrels (sometimes spelt Four Squirrels ). They had a minor hit called "The mighty KC " about Kurt Cobain (?) but in 1995 an automobile accident took the lives of 2 of the 4 band mates as well as their tour manager. I grew up in Gainesville, where they were from, and I remember how sad alternative fans were :(

I think about Nick Drake a lot, he seemed like such a pure and genuine soul who was born at a time where we simply didn’t have the knowledge we do today to help him. At the very least his music has gone on to influence and touch so many lives, including mine. I know when I’m really going through it and need that comfort his music, and Pink Moon especially, feels like an auditory warm blanket that I can hug as tight as I need to

Sublime was such a unique band. Brad would have been a huge superstar if he had only lived a few more months. They were incredibly authentic and genuine. They made music that they loved and basically created a whole genre of music that many have tried to imitate but no one has reached the level Sublime did.

[iamtriston]

Robert Johnson came to my mind when I think of musicians who died before they were famous. From the legendary myth of him selling his soul to the devil, to his mysterious death, and one of the earliest names to be in the "27 club". It's a fascinating story.

[InfectiousGroovePodcast]

A friend of mine took me to see Sublime in either 1994 or 1995. I had no idea who they were but they blew me away. I was so bummed when Bradley passed but I was thankful I got to see him live.

Remember hearing about Nick Drake, heartbreaking story. Its why we always gotta show love and give em their flowers now. If you feel like he did just hang on, hang on baby

[aidenorwhatever]

ive loved your channel for a while since finding it from dontai's reactions, but the fact that you included nick drake on this list AND used him as your very first example just made me love and respect you and your channel so much more. nick drake's work has affected me so much in my life and it's such an unbelievably pleasant surprise that a channel like this would mention him and potentially spread his beautiful work to an audience that would've possibly never otherwise been exposed to it. as someone who's been touched so deeply by his story and his music, thank you.

[partytimejew]

Glad you included Bradley Knowell on the list, one of my favorite bands ever is sublime

[ashle]

You can't tell me an artists' death doesn't increase their popularity. It's a weird dynamic in posthumous music that really fucks with me sometimes. Like we appreciate someone more when they aren't here anymore. Real sad.

[afunnyusername]

I was waiting to say "you missed Eva Cassidy" then you got to her, respect. Such a shame she never got to appreciate her success. A beautiful voice.

[dezz_YT]

It’s sad to see all the people we lost to drugs what a shame prayers to their family and rip to all

[owengraziano]

Pink Moon is one of my favorite albums of all time. It doesn’t get more raw and personal than that.

[TheFanBoy]

Pop Smoke was one tough soldier. He’s an inspiration to me to be a tougher and stronger person. I really do feel devastated about the way he went out. He deserved better but the past came back to haunt him. May Pop Smoke rest easy 🙏🏽🕊️.

[og_rd_st_saint_gat]

Rip pop smoke the judge should had gave the people responsible life

[steveblue]

Brad breaks my heart so bad. I can feel his hurt because I've struggled with dope myself.

I appreciate how you use operational definitions when you make videos, its important to have that understanding with any audience . Its always in academic work so it shows you take your work seriously enough to clarify your perspective on it and making the interpretation of it easier to grasp ...!
