Pink Moon -- which seems to always be shrugged off as "depressing" -- is an album I can come back to regardless of mood and the message it conveys seems to change with every listen which is why I'd choose it. The two bookends really display this dynamic as "pink moon gonna get ye all" might seem sobering to some, but then there's From The Morning, a song I find quite uplifting in its tenderness and cautious hope. |

Pink Moon would just be perfect I think. It's an album I've only recently got into, I heard Nick Drake a while back and didn't really appreciate him and then when I revised him I listened to Pink Moon and I was wow'd by it. I never thought it had a depressing tone running through it even though "pink moon gonna get you call" = death(?) but I just found it relaxing, although that said some records that are "relaxing" it can just be a bunch of songs that don't have any identity, they just mash together and it's nice and relaxing but you don't want to listen to it if you don't want to relax. Pink Moon you can listen to in any mood. Really glad I found it. |

Death is what most people I've discussed the album with associate the 'Pink Moon' with, likely just because of Nick's eventual fate. Felt quite right to me at first, but now I go by the non-meaning. It's that mystique that's likely allowed the album to grow on me like it has. This thread has inspired me to fix up my thoughts on Pink Moon... I need to give it some proper reviewing of some sort.

I instantly decided to run a search for "Nick Drake" rather than make a new topic upon joining; so here I am bringing this thread dedicated to such an amazing artist back to life. Riverman is beautiful.

Nick Drake was introduced to me by the movie Garden State and was solidified by the movie The Royal Tenenbaums, since then I have loved all of his work and read about his very very sad life, I really love his work a talent that needs to be remembered in more regard

Time Has Told Me
Has there been much discussion within this thread on the impact of Drake's psychedelic drug experimentation on his lyrics and his scope on the world in general.
