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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake) vw ad- [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BIOW9fLT9eY](http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BIOW9fLT9eY) here is a link to a torrent of his music- [http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4523112/Nick\_Drake\_-\_Four\_Albums](http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4523112/Nick_Drake_-_Four_Albums) my favorite- [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oitSlHi3MY](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oitSlHi3MY) enjoy fuckers ---
