River Man
"River Man" () is the second listed song from Nick Drake's 1969 album ''Five Leaves Left''. According to Drake's manager, Joe Boyd, Drake thought of the song as the centre piece of the album. In 2004 the song was remastered and released as a 7" vinyl and as enhanced CD single including a video to the song by Tim Pope. ==Musical structure and lyrics== The song is in a 5/4 time signature and is one of the few songs Drake wrote to be played in standard tuning. The string arrangement was composed by Harry Robinson, after Drake's friend Robert Kirby felt he couldn't compose it alone, although he did most of the arrangements on ''Five Leaves Left''.〔Raggett, Ned. "(Five Leaves Left )". ''Allmusic''. Retrieved on 19 September 2006.〕 Drake did not reveal the identity of the 'Betty' character in the lyrics, although Trevor Dann speculated that she may have been drawn from Betty Foy, a character in Wordsworth's "The Idiot Boy", a poem Drake had studied while attending Cambridge.〔Dann, Trevor. ''Darker than the Deepest Sea: The Search for Nick Drake'' (2006), (Hardback) Portrait. ISBN 0-7499-5095-1''〕 However, the only similarity to the poem is the existence of a Betty.〔(A Tentative, Yet Serendipitous Discovery Upon Reading Wordsworth ) by Donnah Boyce〕
