Pink Moon

Really loved the guitar and background music. His voice pairs really well with it but I didn’t focus a lot on the lyrics. Will need to give another listen to full appreciate those.

Annoying. All sound the same.

A really nice chill album. Definitely sounds like more modern folk artists like Amos Lee

Very smooth and relaxing. Great for morning routine. I’m surprised this is from the 70s. It feels very John Mayer.

It had been a while since I last listened to Pink Moon. I had forgotten just how wonderful this album is. In Pink moon we get an incredibly intimate and thread bare collection of songs that sound as though they are coming directly from Nicks soul. Despite only his voice and his guitar, there is limitless depth to these songs, made even more poignant by his untimely death only two years later. It is a real tragedy that we will never know what other music Nick could have shared with the world, but at least we have Pink Moon.

Really solid record. Listened to it twice in a row. While I can’t say there was a standout song, the album washes over you. Love the stripped down nature of it. I’ll probably revisit this in the future. 3.5/5

Recognized from Garden State soundtrack. Cool, acoustic

Normally I don't have a problem with depressive music, but this album is too depressive even for me.

s.s., 1972

Ein schönes Album, um es leicht verkatert am Neujahrsmorgen anzuhören. Schade, dass es Nick Drake dabei wohl nicht gut ging, als er es geschrieben hat. Kommt definitiv in meine Spotify-Bibliothek - hab ich nicht zum letzten Mal gehört.

I loved this album. I can’t believe I had never even heard of Nick Drake. I could listen to this for weeks! What a lovely new year surprise!

Wow! What a gem. I didn't think I had ever listened to Nick Drake before and really enjoyed this album, but then I realised I had heard one of his tracks on the Garden State Soundtrack (excellent film and soundtrack!) The music feels before it's time, and akin to the the music of Elliott Smith, José González, Emilíana Torrini and alike from the late 90s/early00s, I'm sure they must have been inspired by Nick. The guitar is warm and the singing is so full of sadness and soulfulness - a beautiful mix (not sure what it means that I'm always drawn to sad music written by depressed musicians!?). I'll be listening to this one again - thanks 1001! Fave Track: Things behind the sun

extremely good

Nick Drake’s spare, sparse, bare Pink Moon is a kind of quiet wonder, the work of an artist who had retreated so far into the dark abyss of his own mind that attempting to find an exit was an exercise in futility. Pink Moon is an exercise in futility. over 28 minutes, you can hear the sense of abject acceptance of his despair so overwhelming that it clouds the entire experience. and yet, turn the volume up high enough, and in the silence between strums there is something akin to hope, a funhouse mirror version of a tunnel-ending light. even the central metaphor of the title track “Pink Moon” (by far one of the greatest pieces of music i have ever heard, bar none) is rife with that tension: Drake says that the pink moon will get us, no matter how hard we may fight. no one stands tall enough to outrun it. whether this is a metaphor for sadness and gloom or a metaphor for rebirth, one can’t say for sure, but Drake sings it with resignation in his voice, the kind that suggests he is speaking from personal experience of fighting and failing, of being swallowed whole by the pains of the heart and mind despite his best efforts. but as he echos along “it’s a pink moon”, the piano comes in startling, unexpected, but light and tender. is that not the sound of beauty? the sound of angels and doves and flowers in the spring? is that not the sound of hope? there is no more piano on the rest of the record — the darkness seems to overtake, succeed. but for a brief moment there, look how much the sun shone.

Hat mich irgendwie sehr berührt auch wenn ich die Texte nur teilweise nachvollziehen konnte. Musikalisch auch sehr ästhetisch, vermutlich durch die geringe Lebensdauer des Künstlers etwas in Vergessenheit geraten. Schade

It’s fine. Heard it a lot.

I knew Nick Drake’s story already and I know my teenage daughter likes him. How did I never get round to listening? Just lovely

This guy beats puppies with his music

This is a great acoustic album. Never listened to it before, added to my playlist.

Favorite Songs: Place to be Road Things Behind the sun Gives me some Jack Johnson vibes. Calm guitar songs and calm singing but not boring.

I wasn’t sure about this one at first but then it clicked for me. This is a beautiful album. It’s not something I would listen to often so that pushes it towards the 4 for me over a 5. But really touched me. I liked it

Awesome album....timeless.

god

So good but so sad

9/10

Mid

2/5 zzzzzzzz

Sounds like a man living in a lighthouse

#70. Put this on the list with Rocky Horror Picture Show for cult classics that I really don't understand why. It's fine, I guess. Nothing special though. 3/5: acceptable Song added to playlist: Things Behind The Sun I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book. This list can be found here if you are interested: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7MAXDGLWlwLkFLb8veGfkA?si=FqkQQPgZTFWG0jAUJXLFZA&utm_source=copy-link

Nice, the guitar was sometimes hurting my ears, but overall nice chilling songs

Profondo intenso

Dude. This guy is awesome!

Easy 5 stars. not much to say. it’s fantastic.

This album is too consistent in tone and concise to not be one of the best ever. Moody, with dark vocals, but still bright, uniquely played guitar. No album conveys as strong of a feeling as this. A magnificent record. 5 Stars

Oh, another record I've adored for years. It was lovely to get to re-visit this one! It makes me feel all cozy inside.

Dit was al zeker en vast een album dat ik al vaak heb geluisterd, maar door wat meer achtergrondinformatie en aandachter te luisteren heb ik de genialiteit ervan meer ingezien. Prachtige songwriting en tijdloos.

It’s good

Not my speed but very chill Fav song: Things behind the sun (the dissonance in the notes was beautiful to hear)

The voices are a little weird but the instruments are good

I really liked this album. It felt like open mic night. I could go along with the swag of the music without having heard any of it before. Short and sweet.

Quite enjoyed this one

cry me a river

Very nice

This record is so good. I've been searching for a copy on vinyl for ages. It's so sad and warming at the same time.

fantastic album. never heard of him before and was pleasantly surprised

Goated.

Pretty easy listening. Nothing bad but nothing particularly great.

Short and sweet.

Amazing voice. This is probably in my top 5 just below Jeff Buckley. Why do legends leave so soon 😭😭

This was a great album by an artist I’d never heard of before and in a genre I don’t often listen to. I get the sense there’s a significance to it given how good it sounds and when it came out, but I’m not familiar enough with the genre to identify its influence.

Gemütlich, nachdenklich 3.4

Okay 3

Melancholic/Acoustic vibes. personal top3 in no order: Road Horn Harvest Breed

Hat mir überraschend gut gefallen. Schöner Gesang und ich bin ein Fan der akustischen Gitarre! 7.6/10

Mellow and good. Decidedly a product of it's time. As with many of these albums I probably won't come back to it but I'm glad to have experienced it.

This was a pleasant folkie/coffee house chill album from an artist I had never heard of before. I can see coming back to this some time and checking out more from this artist. Favorite tracks include: Things Behind the Sun, From the Morning, and maybe Know.

My only complaint is that this album is too short and there's not more Nick Drake. His previous album was not at all like this, and he doesn't have any later albums (at least on Spotify). Bummer. This was some really good, chill stuff. 4.5.

This was a beautiful album that was recorded so intimately that I felt like I was in the room with Drake. This was my first of his recordings and it clicked immediately. Then I learned his story and I gotta stop falling for musicians who kill themselves. I considered listening to the other two records immediately, but I think I will spread them out.

Dude was a depressed genius.

Haunting and beautiful but it does get same-y.

Fine. A three. Feel like some of this has been picked up in the popular media over the last few years???

Quite unique solo guitar work.

Pleasant guitars.

Нежно очень, люблю такое. И в настроение попало

7/10. Enjoyed "Pink Moon" and "Place To Be"

A gem. Understated and brilliant

Nothing really memorable here for me

An incredible album from a tragic soul. Much like Van Gogh, Nick Drake suffered for his art and never saw the fruits of his labor during his lifetime. He influenced many of my favorite artists though, including myself. Could listen to this album over and over again. Standout Tracks: Pink Moon, Place to Be, Horn, From the Morning

Great acoustic guitar paired well with vocals

Big fan of this one.

I had never heard of Nick Drake or any of his songs. I was pleasantly surprised by this one!

I had forgotten how many Nick Drake's we'd already had but I have decided this is my favourite. What a soothing peaceful album. Love his voice

Definitely the best Nick Drake we've had. It's really good. However, I don't love his voice, it doesn't click with me. Regardless, it's definitely got great lyrics, lovely guitar and all.

Perfect

Very pretty and spare and not nearly as difficult as I expected. Lacks substance, so is quickly forgotten, but a pretty listen and clocking in under half an hour.

Solid, low-key.

ovo je himna jeseni. imam ga na vinylu. definitivno ako si jesenska osoba, ako imalo imaš osjećaja itd, ovo je za tebe.

calming, soothing, relaxing. deep but at the surface, very expressive.

50 years prior to every new artist from the PNW sounding exactly like this

Classic. This guy has been ripped off by so many people.

Really sets a chill mood. Love it

Like it

3.5. Need to listen again

dreamy, a specific mood tho

it's misrable that his songs were reassessed after his death like Gogh. I feel the vibe of George Harrison and bit of west american.

Lying on the white couch in Průhonice hearing the indistinct chatter of the adults at the Thanksgiving table across the room. The room is filled with a rich wood-scented smell of antique furniture and of food. An old TV next to a carved oriental-themed dresser with rural imagery shines with a dim blue retro light as the DVD symbol keeps bouncing off the sides of the screen. Wrapped up in a fur blanket I lay on the side of the couch next to a wall socket holding my tattered cable waiting for my phone to charge. Filip comes to check up on the tv every once in a while from whiches speakers there comes music, calm, soothing. Uneaten food rests on the table as I slowly fall asleep to wake up on the backseats of the car turning into our street with the orange glowing streetlights pleasantly shining into my eyes. I get carried to bed, covered by a blanket and I drift off once again. Life is simple, good. 9/10 as background. Evokes dreams and memories

It totally fit the mood of getting ready for nultá hodina while it's still dark outside. It's a wonderful album, beautiful in its simplicity. Would listen again.

I don't think this album clicks for me like it does for other, but I can absolutely see why it hits so hard for those people that do get it. Very ahead of its time at parts in terms of the atmosphere it created, and pretty cool someone leaning into more atmospheric music during a very songwritey era

C+ Pink Moon 3 Place to Be 3 Road 3 Which Will 3 Horn* 3 Things Behind the Sun 4 Know 2 Parasite 3 Free Ride 3 Harvest Breed 2 From the Morning 3 The Nick Drake trilogy is great.

Good album, not every day listening but this would hit great on a snowy or rainy morning with a fresh cup of coffee

I wish I liked this more

One of the best surprises of the project so far. I’ve heard of Drake, mostly as an influence to so many modern artists I love. I was excited to listen to this one and it did not disappoint. Short and sweet, dark, raw, naked, beautiful. In a rush to have to review this one, I only got 1 listen. I have a feeling I might regret not this 5 stars a few years from now. 8.9/10

nah. not my cup of tea

Loved it. A little too short. It clocks in at under 30 minutes. Great early modern folk. 5/5

This is an album that just makes you feel sad. It's a hollow feeling, but in a good way, which I don't know if I've experienced in an album before. It just is so obvious Drake is going through something terrible, and over fifty years later you can't do anything but sit there and listen to his sorrows. It still has this melancholic feeling to it which could make you feel perhaps more uplifted, but like getting gut punched by a flower. It really helps that the album is short, because it does get a bit repetitive, just being Drake and his guitar, but it still is the perfect representation of what folk music would be going through in the coming years, and Nick Drake was just too ahead of the curb to know it. Fantastic record, and a folk magnum opus.

Perfection.

Brilliant in its simplicity. Really enjoyed this album, glad I can say I've heard of Nick Drake and listened to his music.

Started good.

Very melodramatic, easy listen. Folk, singer songwriter

Non mi ricordo, bello?

gejoza, jakis taki country pop i wgl ziomek spiewa smutas taki slabe

This is one of the greatest albums. So influential, so wonderful.

Great.

An intimate and beautiful album by a tortured soul. Nick Drake's masterpiece - one of those albums that are simply impossible to hate.

4.5/5 This is so good and chill, I'm surprised I haven't heard anything by Nick Drake before, it's right up my alley. It doesn't have the same highlight tracks that some of my other high-rated albums so far have (Paranoid, The Man Comes Around), but it's a very complete piece. Best track: Parasite

Cute but little boring

It’s absolutely beautiful wow. Now I know who Nick Drake is. He’s a wonderful singer songwriter

Maybe the best of the Drake’s.

I like this

Um bom álbum, porém não é muito meu estilo.

nice, my style.

I'm depressed :'(

It didn't capture my attention at all. Useful as background music, but nothing else for me.

I see Nick Drake, I give 5 stars

Melancholic-folk from a man with a strange accent

Ok

Sounds like 90's rock but from the 70's?? I'll be revisiting for sure

Had a previous Nick Drake album so kinda looking forward to this one - see what it brings. Yeah I really loved this, so chill and dreamy I could listen to his voice forever. Glad I found him through this site tbh. Preferred this to the last one I listened to .

There were like one or two songs I enjoyed, but it didn't interest me.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake is a critically acclaimed album that is widely regarded as a masterpiece of contemporary folk music . The album was recorded in just two nights, with Drake accompanying himself only on acoustic guitar, except for the title track, on which he overdubs a brief, lovely piano part . The album is known for its sparse, haunting, and introspective sound, and it is one of the most musically stripped-down and emotionally naked albums ever recorded . The lyrics of Pink Moon are often attributed to Drake's mental state, and the album is a deeply personal and introspective reflection of his inner struggles and turmoil . The album's simple and raw lyrics, combined with Drake's silky vocals and acoustic guitar, create a sense of melancholy and introspection that continues to resonate with audiences today . Overall, Pink Moon is a powerful and emotionally resonant album that showcases Drake's immense talent as a songwriter and musician . While it may not have the best songs of his career, it is easily his most intimate and personal work . The album's themes of isolation, social commentary, and spirituality are conveyed through Drake's poetic and evocative lyrics, which are complemented by his delicate guitar playing and haunting vocals . Pink Moon is a must-listen for fans of contemporary folk music and anyone who appreciates raw, emotionally honest songwriting

Excellent acoustic guitar. Nice background listening

I can imagine this album had a huge influence on Radiohead

It was a nice, dinner party type album. I enjoyed it. I have to be in a certain mood to listen again.

Songwriting is great, haunting

Liked the guitar and the tone of the singing. Drake's life story is very sad and reading that along with the album was impactful.

Jack Johnson guitar playing on lithium. Peter Gabriel vocals with zero emotion. Beautiful but dreadful. Not my thing. Reminds me of that one guy at the beach bonfire, high on acid, playing music that only 1 guy is listening to. Glad it was only 28 min long.

Parasite is my favourite, but all in all not really for me. Great artwork

Kinda nice but very background and didn’t even notice when album looped on repeat

Things behind the sun was alright but the rest of it was fairly monotonous strumming with droning singing over the top

Short and depressing album, but I liked the songs. Definitely changes the vibe, man on guitar for all of it I think Didn’t really listen to the lyrics as much as I should have but good melodies in there even if it’s sad 3/4****

Gentle, easy music. All a bit similar, but still fairly nice to listen to.

Not offensive but sent me to sleep

Lovely folk album, listened to a lot of Nick Drake at school but never the album the whole way through. Very beautiful. Died so young :(

Me ha gustado mucho.

Guitar centric, calm yet sad music. Relaxing to listen to for sure. The instruments are pretty shallow/singular. Reminds me somewhat of bluegrass music.

OG sad boi <3 Fav: Things Behind the Sun

Beautiful short folk album

Generic playing, and sounded like he was getting some buzzes on his guitar in several of the songs. Didn't love it.

I loved this all the way through. Felt like it was too short so I listened to it a second time!

So far my fav, for a gloomy day

good background music - chill

Gemütliche Gitarrenmusik

What a snooze fest.

Sehr intimes Album eines jungen Gitarristen, der kurz darauf verstarb. 2,5

Love this just as much as the first time. Thanks VW for injecting it back into popular culture!

Great album. Reminds me of Erik May. Always enjoyed Nick Drakes simple folksy music.

Really enjoyed Pink Moon, couple of other songs are okay, but not an amazing album for me.

so sweet, usually this kinda music is too quiet and chill for my taste but this guy felt like he had something to say, and his story is so sad, parasite, free ride, and others too, would prolly listen to when sad

I listened to it in the morning and was gonna rate it 2. but then at night I went to the park and sat down in the grass and listened again and now I rate it a 3

I'm not sure what the fuss is about. Some of the melodies are chilled and laid back but I'm not completely convinced of Nick Drakes voice. I find it a bit bland. The music has a certain atmosphere about it but the production is a bit, well, 70's and just a bit lacking.

Quite chill reminds me of parachutes Coldplay. All the songs kind of blend into one

old but chill a vibe

Relaxing folk songs. I like some of those.

It’s not necessarily something I would have chosen to put on, but I will definitely be returning to this one. A beautiful, short and gentle album by a more than troubled individual. The simplicity is something to be appreciated - just the listener, and Drake. Offers real insight about a man who had no interest in the fame or promoting himself, and for that alone a pleasure to listen to. It’s a great shame he never witnessed what success he had posthumously. Songs added to playlist: - Know

feels like what indie started as

He’s so close to the mic, I love it

I don't get it

Oh great. Another instalment of depressed Norah Jones.

Vaya, había pensado que era de Pink Floyd, pero no, es otro bodrio infumable.

Fairly good... rather slow. Not the best slow music out there.

I hate that you can't do decimals bc this falls around a 3.5 for me but I can't quite justify rounding up. I like it but nothing sticks out to me as like INCREDIBLE or anything

A little boring, nice plucky guitar, soft voice. Not really grabbed by the melody, some words stand out, but not something I'd want to listen to again. Sorry Nick Drake, this album is not my cup of tea.

So beautiful my god

Some intricate lyrics, but not a lot to really grasp me.

Have often heard about this album and Nick Drake. Glad I finally listened to it but probably won’t be a frequent relisten

beautiful

Great chill background album.

It's a solid album, but totally not my thing.

Feels warm and nostalgic to revisit this. It's still great. So many albums by men, though.

Always have time for Nick Drake. Good music for a Saturday morning.

Suoraan mun akustiselle listalle. Ei mitään ihan parasta, mutta kuiteskin ihan hyvää akustista, mikä sopii taustamusiikiksi.

This would've been alot better had I understood a single word sung at any point. I wanted to like it but if you mumble the whole time I don't know what to tell you. 4/10.

When singer-songwriters get it right it's rather nice. Such lovely and interesting guitar throughout, although the second half of the album has some weaker songs. Iconic album cover. Falls into the same traps that most singer-songwriters do as it becomes a bit samey, but it's a sound I enjoy so its forgivable. Fav Track: Place to be A few skippable songs so a light 4/5

There's some lovely stuff here, mostly in the very spare guitar passages and some choice vocal lines. At times it dips a bit into the Jack Johnson easy listening territory that is a bit teeth clenching, but I don't think I'd ever be upset hearing this. Fave track: From the Morning

Listening to this album right after finishing listening to Javelin by Sufjan Stevens is some sort of cruel and terrific fate. This is the most I've contemplated over pieces of music for a while. Intoxicating guitar plucking and lingering poetry over whispery vocals that really left me awed. Drake captures an intimacy and emotional capacity that few have achieved in quite the same way. Every track stands individually as true and beautiful. A great album! Four and a half. Fave track: Pink Moon

Interesting. Guitar is very well recorded.

Color me VERY surprised by how much I liked this album. I’ve never heard of Nick Drake or this album. You could tell me that this album was released any of the past 50 years and I would never doubt you. It’s simple, raw, timeless music. It’s not enough to completely blow me away, but I have no doubt I’ll come back to listen again. Highlight: Place to Be

Sweet and gentle and there’s charm in voice and guitar. A talent but not an artist I tend to gravitate towards.

Folk, introspection ambiance

Gentle and beautiful. This is gonna be the second 5 star so far. Oddly enough, both folk albums, which I don't usually like. This one is heartbreaking in all the right ways. I don't love every song, but the few I do are unbelievably pretty and sad. Things Behind The Sun is my standout favorite, and I found myself listening to it over and over after hearing it the first time. It's captivating, but simple. The guitar lines are exactly what I look for in dark, sad, beautiful chord structures. Parasite and Harvest Breed are also both great tracks in a similar vein. I'll revisit this one frequently, for sure.

Hauntingly beautiful. This album has been the soundtrack to hard times for me

It was pretty good. Like'd the type of music.

I read that this is the Nick Drake record that most begin with, and I am no exception. For me though, writing something about this record is like trying to write something about someone I've loved forever; I still love them as much as I ever have, if not more since our love has matured over time, but it's really hard to see them with new eyes and articulate that in a way that's useful to anyone else. I think the best that I can offer is that one can't listen to this album and not feel something, and isn't that precisely why so many of us turn to music, to feel something?

A bit too soft and whispery for my tastes. Definitely picked up on the second half. The stretch from Know - Free Ride were more dynamic.

Fun fact: If you're reading this, you should listen to Molly Drake if you never have before. Album #4. I've felt extremely spoiled with the albums I've been provided the past few days, which may contribute to this one's (surprisingly) more average rating. However, I claim that it perhaps isn't the best place to start with this artist's work, and while Drake's guitar playing is extremely effective in its textures and percussiveness, I found myself unexpectedly wishing for a stronger melodic strain. That said, the combination of emotions and talent are impossible to deny, and I hope that I'll get to review his other albums for this project.

Very surprised I've never heard of this artist. The second track, "Road," immediately jumped out at me. Quite moody, guitar is fantastic, and a mysterious voice. Especially on "things behind the sun" This really sparks an interest in giving this album another few listens. Seems like there's a lot of hidden details and an exciting rabbit hole to dive in :)

Never clicked with this, but it could be really great

This one gave me campfire vibes. Not necessarily a bad thing. To me it means that it can be put on for background noise in specific settings. I wanted to skip ahead to the next song but it would be the same damn guitar rhythm and tone with the next song. It felt like it never truly went anywhere. Over all as of right now I give it a 2.5 rating.

hmmm campground type music. too bad i FUCKKING HATE CAMPING. i think my favorite song was free ride, otherwise it was nice probably wouldn't put it on again. album art is neat

I liked free ride the most. Generally enjoyable. 3/5

Starting Vibes have me feeling like drinking a blue slushy behind the 7-11 at 2am waiting for better days to come with the company of your local acoustic guitar wielding 40 year old failed English professor as he explains to me what it feels to yearn for place from long ago that no longer exists and can never return to. When we hit the middle I feel as if the failed English professor is taking me to the park near by, insisting that he show A spot away from lights to see the stars, it’s a little bumpy on the way and I’m not shore if it will be worth it but my gut fights off my small fears. In the end, the spot wasn’t perfect, things changed, the light still reached and I only saw a few stars but it didn’t matter the feeling of the place still contains the joy and magic from when it was given purpose. And before I knew it professor is gone leaving nothing but a pit in your gut from the trip I tangled myself into but it is a good feeling pit. (4.1-5) album is short and is good to listen to in the dark, kind of reminds me of Song by Leonard Cohan but this feels more studio apartment then small music hall if know what I mean.

I did not vide with this album at all. I liked the guitar but I think I didn’t like his voice. Maybe it was a bit too simple or maybe I don’t have a good ear for music lol

I didn’t even notice when the album ended because it all sounded the same. Not my cup of tea but i can recognize a talented guitarplayer 2/5

Initial thoughts: Never heard of this guy. Apparently he's like a 70's staple???? Final thoughts: Wow. Simplicity at it's finest. If I found this album in my 'depresso more espresso' days, this album wouldve fucked me up. Or realistically I would be listening to this as much as I listened to The Smith's. tbh I had it in the background and it was kinda generic folk/songwriter kind of things. But the guitar riff halfway in "Things Behind The Sun" pulled me out of what I was doing, and I know it warranted a careful listen. At a runtime of 28 minutes, easy peasy. After two full listens, wow. Makes me want to take a trip up a hill barefoot with nothing but my guitar.

Jag har länge ogillat Nick Drake eftersom mitt ex, som var en hemsk människa, älskade Nick Drake. Det här är nog första gången någonsin som jag har dragit igenom ett helt album och det var, inte helt oförväntat, mycket bättre än vad jag trodde. Det blir lite enformigt och tråkigt dock, men överlag bra lyssning. Kanske...3,5 av 5?

Pink moon is very calm like a fall drive. Short and sweet. Place to be is very smooth and the acoustic guitar is great compliment to the rest of the song. Road is cool very folky, I think the first two were better but it is still good. Which will had the same great vibe as the first two songs. Sounded like the opening scene of a movie. Horn was only a little over a minute long and definitely displayed the the guitar a little more softly. Great just felt like filler. Things behind the sun felt like a more camp fire type of song and i really loved its vibe. This is probably my favorite so far. Know was another filler feeling song that sounded kinda poorly produced. This is my least favorite so far. Parasite feels a little darker but has a pretty simple melody. Free ride sounds pretty cool but it doesn’t feel as well thought out as some of the other songs. Harvest breed is a lot like know to me just not great. From the morning brought back the great vibe from the first half and just helped me like this album again. Overall this album was pretty solid with some great songs. I did feel however, that the second half was lacking the things that made the first half almost perfect. 8.2/10

Not my style necessarily. I ended up zoning out in the middle and had to restart the album. However, his voice is wonderful & haunting and I enjoyed the title song.

Muito bom! Pink Moon, especialmente, que é uma excelente música!!

01. Pink Moon (5) 02. Place To Be* (4) 03. Road* (4) 04. Which Will (4) 05. Horn* (3) 06. Things Behind The Sun (5) 07. Know* (3) 08. Parasite* (4) 09. Free Ride* (3) 10. Harvest Breed* (3) 11. From The Morning (4) 42/55 76.36% Definitely worthy of more listens.

Grandfather to Iron and Wine, Elliot Smith, and all Wes Anderson soundtracks. Music for driving away from your girlfriends dorm after breaking up with her.

Finding this album in my college days would have fucked me up. Back then I was really into contemporary sad-boy artists like Elliott Smith, Galaxie 500, and Pedro the Lion. Even if this album was unknown to those guys it certainly touches the same parts of the psyche as the best of their work. The spartan, clear production and concise confessional songs make the whole album feel very near and honest. The rare hooks highlight engaging melodies that are just enough to hang Drake's bedroom vocals on.

Nice easy acoustic recording. Easy to listen too nice voice.

Zoned out for the whole thing. Clearly wasn’t anything that notably bad or great then

Kinda depressing, but it is a style of music that I like.

Amazing guitar. Perfect for a rainy day or a lazy morning.

Great use of guitar, hard to pinpoint the genre, but it’s good for idle listening Nick Drake has a soothing voice, doesn’t hold out notes for too long. Shouldn’t use an app to find music but here we are lmao! After looking into the history of Nick Drake I’m going to have to give this one a deeper listen, especially if it speaks to the unfortunate headspace he was in at the time. This being my first album is a lil discouraging but we move I guess.

nice..

Super chill, easy listening. Reminds me of Alexi Murdoch

Top

Very good! Gentle and pretty, though the stripped back feel felt a little one note at time. Though it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Enjoyed it.

themoon isn't pink idk wtf he talkin about

this album made me want to be a upside down caterpillar spinning my cocoon

I mean, it's a classic right. Absolutely stunningly beautiful and forever one of the greatest singer songwriter records.

Goed, maar net niet voor in de stemming, dus dat kost Nicky een sterretje.

Supertof en met momenten kippenvel

Prachtig. Met het hele levensverhaal van de beste man erbij een enorm tragische zwanenzang. Breekbaar en (mede daardoor) zo mooi.

Ik heb een beetje een haat-liefde-verhouding met Nick Drake. Van bepaalde liedjes van hem kan ik op een negatieve manier wild worden, maar die heb ik op deze plaat niet gehoord. Wat ik wel heb gehoord vond ik mooi.

I can’t believe Drake made this album in one day. He definitely could’ve become one of the GOATs of folk

Short, sad, beautiful

A bit dull

A sparse and haunting album that is the prettiest suicide note ever. Great guitar playing

I can tell that if I liked this style of music I would enjoy this, but it really isn’t my style.

Heard before. That cover stays with me. Can't get into it that much, but I stay for the story behind the making of. + Horn + Know + Parasite + Harvest Breed

Melancholic, beautiful, sad

What a beautiful album from such a tortured soul. An incredible voice and masterful playing, it’s a shame that his career was short and relatively unknown.

Autumnal af

Car, first listen, not single sitting, FT: Place to Be

Super chill acoustic

Iha jees!

RIP Nick

Mad chill

Absolutely nothing fancy about this, and its simplicity is a breath of fresh air. Just hypnotically pretty acoustic guitar, a world-weary voice, and some great songwriting. This seems like the most relaxed and least self-aware of his three albums - like he got the confidence to just do his songs and leave it at that. His voice sounds very natural here, and he has the confidence to leave many of these songs under the 3-minute mark. None of this needs any padding or embellishment, because it's pure stellar music-making. I probably say this every time I give one of his album's a proper listen... but I think this one might be my favourite Nick Drake album. 5*

Gentle and smooth. Interesting melodies and timing that keep the ear engaged. Is this Elliott Smith’s dad or something? I thoroughly enjoyed this album.

…and now I, too, am a lifelong Nick Drake fan. I am aware of Nick’s story and the majority opinion of the context of this album. But frankly, it’s easy and a little lazy to view Pink Moon through a lens of mental health. I think it’s an unfortunate association that detracts from a beautiful, perfectly rendered work of art which can also be described as delicate; not depressed, or sensitive rather than sad. These quiet songs allow the listener time and space for appreciation without distraction and without digging through layers of something that might have become overly produced, had Nick achieved some of the success he missed out on while living. I’ve resisted the temptation of listening to Nick’s two earlier albums so I could appreciate Pink Moon on its own merits. Maybe once I’ve auditioned the other two I’ll feel differently about the tone and setting of these songs. Either way it’s been so nice to have all weekend with this album before being served my next selection. What a treasure.

This is beautiful. I don't love the lower range of his voice, but I feel so comfortable listening to him. Roads is an amazing song. I've actually been hoping to start a new playlist for my fall vibes, and Roads got to start it for me. An amazing album. Intimate but comfortable, relaxing but emotional. I loved every song.

Underrated singer/songwriter. Gone too soon. Great album

Okay, but dull.

Interesting I loved it , so calm

One of the all time greats, just a beautiful record front to back

digging the following tracks: - pink moon - place to be - things behind the sun - harvest breed not a huge fan of some of the other tracks - the album cover is cool though... turns out it's one of these cult albums, dude died super young, had depression, etc.

Raw

I listened to most of it and it was pretty good

Great! Coffee hose music couldnt tell that the album was from the 70's. Very chill jam band sound

Great music to brew Kombucha to

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood to be sad and bored.

unbelievable talent

Dreary in a way that is monotone and overall flat feeling. The one ambient song Horn was a reprieve

I really enjoyed this album. It has some really nice first riffs and lyrics

Really good! Very simple, but that works in its benefit

Alright album. Reading his Wikipedia page gave some interesting context to it. Gentle enough to be decent background music but could potentially put you to sleep. Favorite track: Free Ride Album art: 4/5

Asså helt ok, ibland rätt så mysigt men som en helhet rätt tråkigt. Efter andra låten fattade man att han kunde spela gitarr och nynna lite för sig själv

Jättemysigt!! Riktigt bra låtar och texter. Ett enormt mysigt album helt enkelt. Rätt repetitivt men fungerar ändå. Favisar kanske: Pink moon, Road, Know, Free Ride

Mysigt

Väldigt enformigt med bara sång och gitarr. Han hade cool röst men låtarna förstörde. Favorit: From the morning

Väldigt bra och mysigt album Bästa låt: Things behind the sun

Another Nick Drake, another 5. Perfection.

Original sad dad music

I’ve listened to one Nick Drake album already (Bryter Later) which absolutely blew me away. I remember living that album so much that I went to trusty Wikipedia and ended up with a broken heart after reading about Nick. I’m looking forward to listening to this one. Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Pink Moon, Which Will, Parasite I love how minimalist this album is. It feels like sitting in a room with Nick and his guitar and having him softly sing to you. There is certainly something nice to be said about music that isn’t overly produced, as is commonly heard these days. The track Know felt possibly a little too stripped back for my taste, but everything else felt oh so cosy. I’ve listened to two Nick Drake albums now and have really enjoyed both.

already listened to it, very good, very sad

Good music for reading. Weirdly romantic. Reminds me of Garden State/HIMYM soundtracks. Overall a little too samey, a little too precious, but very pleasant the whole way through. 3/5

I thought it was funny that I got Erykah Badu's "Mama's Gun," which has a song called "Orange Moon," right before this. This album is nice and pretty I guess. Didn't really keep my attention. Did not like the title track but the rest was pleasant enough.

68/100

Like sitting by a warm fire, this album washes over you

5 no notes, if you don't tear up listening to this ur a psycho faves: place to be, parasite

Preferred the previous two Nick Drake albums

nice album, but felt very one tone, one vibe, but all nice songs

Good walking to class vibes

Quiet a few decent songs. Relaxing, acoustic. Good vocalist. IIRC, first song I'd heard was from Garden State soundtrack?

Track 1 - Okay Track 2 - Okay Track 3 - V Good Track 4 - P Good Track 5 - Good Track 6 - V Good Track 7 - Good Track 8 - P Good Track 9 - V Good Track 10 - Track 11 - Excellent

Real nice. Good length for an acoustic album too. Found myself really listening to the guitar. Wish I spent more time listening to the lyrics 3.8

C’est mon deuxième album de Nick Drake. Il m’a semblé plus uniforme que le précédent, avec moins de variations créatives. J’ai quand même beaucoup aimé, surtout en raison des mélodies. J’aurais donné 3,5, mais je donne 4, car je trouve quand même que ça s’élève au-dessus de la moyenne

Good calming album

Not for me, Sorry Mr Drake

Didn’t know this album but wauw ❤️

meh 3*

Mostly a way to show off good guitar technique, at the expense of musicality and feeling.

not my cup of tea. probably a good album to others but I don't like it

One of the best morning album of all time. Pretty melancholy album too

Nice, but apart from one song, just is wallpaper

The album was a bit one note, and I felt as though I could barely understand a word he was saying. It was one of those albums, where if you hear one of the songs you already know what most of the other songs sound like.

Not my usual every day music but it's really calming and relaxing

acoustic porn

Super soft, but not really my style.

I know this album well. He’s only recorded one bad song and it’s not on this album.

AMAZXINg

Not much going on for me here. Maybe the lyrics are beautifully poetic or something, but after a cursory listen (or two) if felt a little basic.

suavecito y precioso.

it was 5*s when i listened to it 20 years ago. it's 5*s now. just sublime

It’s classic I suppose, and rightly so.

Maravilloso. No se como no lo conocía hasta ahora.

нежность, тоска, усталость

У меня очень забавное ощущение от этого парня сложилось: что-то среднее между Коэном и босса-новой. До Коэна ему не хватает глубины лирики, до босса-новы - ну всё-таки более характерных черт жанра. Вообще чувак конечно удивительный. Он что-то там себе сидит под нос бурчит, на гитаре тихонько поигрывает, но так вдруг берёт за душу... Прям даже не знаю, из-за чего. Конечно, скудноват немного альбом, но он очень приятный эстетически. В паре мест меня немного вокал напряг, но это мелочи. 3.5->4

pink moon by nick drake was sitting in an old attic corner waiting patiently for me to dust it off and realize i was missing a crucial piece of my soul

Great sad guitar music, proto elliot smith

Beautiful acoustic tunes for sadboy hours

well this is just a perfect album in every way

a soft and wispy acoustic gem of an album that oozes beauty, nostalgia, and a profound sadness. terrific stuff

I feel comfortable and very relaxed listening to this album.

Legal até, som acústico, mas não tão empolgante

Great find. Amazing folk album.
