It is thought that Monk originally composed the song sometime in 1940 or 1941. However, Harry Colomby claims that Monk may have written an early version around 1936 (at the age of 19) with the title "Grand Finale". "'Round Midnight" is the most-recorded jazz standard composed by a jazz musician.

September 20th marks the 30th birthday of Berlin pianist Nils Frahm, but also the day he has chosen to give his fans a special gift in the form of 9 songs he recorded with 9 fingers, entitled 'Screws'.

Nils experienced an unfortunate accident which saw him fall from his bunk bed located directly above his studio, which resulted in a broken thumb. But through inspiration from his fans and after a gentle walk and talk through the park with a close friend, he decided to deal with the situation in the only way he knew – playing his piano.

With four screws surgically placed inside his thumb, he started recording with his remaining 9 fingers, what later resulted in 9 intimate piano recordings.

Fans can download 'Screws' as mp3s or in full 24-bit 44.100 kHz audio quality here (http://screws.durtonstudio.com), and pre-order a Vinyl/CD edition from the Erased Tapes online store (http://erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP046), which will be released later this year.

'I am sitting in front of a sheet of paper. My right hand is bending over my left thumb. The first day I got out of my cast I could bend it by 15°. Now I am already at 50° and that makes me happy. Things are going uphill...

As you can imagine, it is really bad news for a pianist when he gets diagnosed with a broken thumb. That day I was sitting in the emergency room, feeling rather dizzy while thinking of a zillion shows coming up and all the people involved around it. I realised in that moment how busy things have become. It is hard to turn down interesting projects and opportunities, since I surely love my work. It actually never felt like work. Playing piano and playing it for wonderful people is the greatest joy I can imagine.

For a couple of days I felt like this all could be over. How pathetic. But hey – also feeling sorry for yourself has its place somewhere. All of a sudden I had so much time, an unexpected holiday. I cancelled most of my schedule and found myself being a little bored. Even though my doctor told me not to touch a piano for a while, I just couldn't resist. I started playing a silent song with 4 fingers on my left and the remaining 5 on my right hand. I set up one microphone and recorded another tune every other night before falling asleep.

The day I got rid of my cast I had recorded 9 little tunes. They have helped me feel less annoyed about my accident and reminded me that any good is something I can only achieve, when I am making the most out of what I've got.

Thank you all for listening!

With lots of love,

Nils

lyrics:

why would i need a shovel in my hand?
what's here to dig man? my own grave?
i don't need your haircut
i don't need your shave

why would i need money in your bank?
what's here to pay man? my own bone?
i don't need your palace
i don't need your throne

say, why would i need your whip to lick my back?
what's here to sweat for? a bed and bread?
since i know you
i've got the rats in my shed

i won't bow, i won't beg
to your lack of respect
the big desert you spread
in my head
i won't beg, i won't bow
to your glamour and your show
the big mountains you pull
in front of my window
let my people go

let 'em go
let 'em go
let my people go!

why would i need your words to cut my tongue?
what's here to speak bout? that's your lie!
i won't greet you 
i won't wave goodbye

why would i need your rifle in my hand?
what's here to fight for? that's my land!
i don't trust you
i don't shake your hand

you're not what i'd call a friend
a friend won't spill no tear
and a friend does not appear
in all this army gear

is that what you call kind?
kind men don't act like rats
kind men don't hang out 
with the bats

i won't beg, i won't bow
cause no justice and no law
will stop this river of blood
that just reached my doorstep
let my people go

let 'em go
let 'em go
let my people go!

Limited edition blue vinyl 7” (1000 copies only) exclusively for Record Store Day.  Features two tracks from 2 remarkable concerts at Melbourne Recital Centre in November 2011 and The Barbican Centre, London in January 2010 celebrating the legacy of one of England’s most revered singer/songwriters, Nick Drake.  

Melbourne duo, Luluc lend a potent melancholia to Drake’s ‘Things Behind The Sun’ (from his third and final 1972 album ‘Pink Moon’) whilst exclusive to this 7”, the highly acclaimed Irish singer Lisa Hannigan presents an evocative rendition of ‘At The Chime Of A City Clock’ (from his second, ‘Bryter Layter,’ 1970).  

‘Things Behind The Sun’ is taken from the forthcoming album, ‘Way To Blue : The Songs Of Nick Drake’ (released 15th April 2013).  
Luluc’s forthcoming album was produced by Aaron Dessner of The National.  

Nick Drake is an unlikely romantic hero. In the 1970s he was a minor English singer and songwriter who peddled a lyrical brand of introspection that earned him a small but devoted following and few record sales. Dogged by depression and embittered by his lack of success, he died of an overdose in 1974, virtually unknown and unnoticed. He left an amazing legacy - a handful of recordings of his sparsely beautiful songs across just three albums, less than two hours of music. But over the ensuing decades, the enduring potency of these songs has ensured Drake's reputation as one of the UK's truly great musical talents.
