Things Behind The Sun

This is a song about deception and how things are not always as they appear.

Drake wrote this at a time when he was indulging in a dangerous amount of drugs. The lyrics are a narrative of his thoughts at this time.

Joe Boyd had produced Nick Drake's first two albums, but for Pink Moon the singer decided he wanted to simplify the recordings and leave out the orchestral flourishes. He chose John Wood, the engineer at Sound Techniques, to produce the record. John Wood recorded "Things Behind The Sun" in the middle of the night with just voice and guitar.
