idk if any of you have ever heard of him, or listened to his music, but i have found that out of all of the music i have ever listened to, no one can affect my mood as much as nick drake.

listening to him leaves me with a feeling that is introspective, grateful, thoughtful, and with a shit eating grin on my face. a mood that can only be described as mellow

he only became famous after he died, a cult phenom of sorts. his music has been in both a vw ad, and the movie garden state. also, the ad for the new dicaprio/winslet movie, which is why i made this thread

anyway, here is his wiki- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake

Your vast knowledge and great taste in music never lets me down. Nick Drake always gets a huge :tup: from this guy.
