a friend of mine introduced me to this...i thought it was some new up and coming artist until i looked him up. i was amazed to find that my pop was a huge nick drake fan when he put out those albums!
There is something about this song maybe a distant memory, melancholic, beautiful, innocent and pure in a place were we have been and wish to be again. Simply powerful
Praise be to Allah I am a Muslim who wants to know about Islam or the Prophet Mohammed enters the channel or Araslani ask God to guide us all to the right
It's a complete cliché, but Nick Drake changed my life pretty much. After listening to his records, I had a completely different grasp on life, knowing his story and all. He was hardly successful, but nowadays is regarded as a genius. it's got a certain Van Gough quality to it. It taught me that you may never know how good you are in this lifetime, but what others say about you right now will not always be true. RIP Nick.

Amazing. That's how I discovered this beautiful song.
@NewsDenizen it's truly incredible. shows how timeless his music is. this song was recorded in 1971, but it sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. that's when you know you've discovered a true master
@digithree exposure never hurt anyone. It would be the same if it were featured in the soundtrack of a popular film. People responded to the song, it's not out of love for volkswagon.
@NewsDenizen yep me too, i was 12 in a movie theatre when the commercial played, i struck me so hard i went home and for months after scoured napster for any song of him i could find, i was in LOVE with nick drake for a good few years of my early life, my older was such a jerk when i asked who the guy was playing the song, he just scoffed at me, disgusted with me for liking him and was like "ugh.. nick drake.." I think he was just embarrased by the commerical's depiction of tennagers or whatever
@PuffSmelly Yes. He never had lessons but practiced all the time. He used various alternate tunings on his guitar, and I'm not a guitar player, but from what players have told me, he liked cluster chords.
RIP Nick Drake and his fucking good music i just recently found you thanks to my mom you were a beautiful person and i hope were ever you are you would be the best possible
@TeeTownSounds No drugs. He had a disease, Recurrent Major Depression and had to take potent antidepressants, full of secondary effects. Tryciclic antidepressants. His death was accidental. A tragedy. But he was no junkie.
