cor de mar em dia de chuva

The one weakness of Nick as a writer, the fundamental flaw, is the adolescent obsession with loneliness, and the inability to communicate, which betrays his extreme youth when he wrote the songs. He wrote songs such as 'Time Of No Reply' and 'I Was Made To Love Magic' at an age when most people feel that no one understands them and that really meaningful communication is impossible. It is a landscape Bob Dylan recognized on a 'Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall': 'where black is the colour and none is the number'; a place the majority of us visit, but soon leave. For Nick, though, it became home, and he stayed there far too long.
