It has a very simple (major-keyed) melody and very simple verses: A black-eyed dog, he called at my door A black-eyed dog, he called for more The black-eyed dog, he knew my name The black-eyed dog, he knew my name I'm growing old and I want to go home I'm growing old and I don't want to know I'm growing old and I want to go home The black-eyed dog, he called at my door The black-eyed dog, he called for more It's sung in this very strange, high-pitched voice that is quite unlike Drake's usual smooth baritone. It's got to be one of the most depressed and depressing songs out there. and i'm soooooo lucky it's stuck in my head >:( |
Question: Should I fear this black-eyed dog? Apparently not, looks like he lost his last fight! |

We planned a surprise party, but realized we had no idea where you are-so-alas !! We'll have a party, anyway.............. |

(God, I sound like my mother) Stay focused! Nick Drake: one of the all-time greatest folk musicians! "Black-eyed Dog": the song chronicalling his depression! Have you no respect? |

in this song, the black dog comes home with "blood upon his face" and no one knows where he has been. |
