Five Leaves Left is the debut studio album by British folk singer-songwriter Nick Drake, released on September 1, 1969. Despite its initial commercial failure, Five Leaves Left has since been recognized as a masterpiece. The album’s title, “Five Leaves Left,” originates from a packet of Rizla cigarette papers, which included a message warning that only five leaves remained before a new packet was needed. This seemingly mundane reference has been interpreted as an ominous foreshadowing of Drake’s own life, as he would tragically pass away just five years later.
