“Time Has Told Me” by Nick Drake

"Time Has Told Me" is one of Nick Drake's songs on Five Leaves Left, the English folk singer's debut album, which Island released in July 1969. Drake wrote it, sings it and plays acoustic guitar, and the company he keeps is choice: Richard Thompson of Fairport Convention on electric guitar, Danny Thompson of Pentangle on bass, and Paul Harris sitting in on piano.

Joe Boyd produced and John Wood engineered, at Sound Techniques in London, where the album was made between May 1968 and April 1969. Wood remembered Drake cutting his parts live, singing and playing at once with no overdubs, and the studio itself, spread over several levels, helped give the record its sound and atmosphere.
