Pink Moon - Nick Drake - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Released in 1972 as the title track of Nick Drake’s third and final album, "Pink Moon" is a hauntingly sparse and poetic reflection on transience, alienation, and beauty. Lasting just over two minutes, the song features only the late artist's voice and acoustic guitar, with a subtle piano phrase overdubbed by Nick Drake himself—the only known addition in the otherwise minimalist recording. Unlike his previous albums, which included full arrangements and backing musicians, "Pink Moon" was recorded in just two late-night sessions, underscoring its intimate and solitary tone. The lyrics are elliptical and open to interpretation, but the imagery of a "pink moon" rising has often been associated with foreboding, rebirth, or quiet reckoning. "Pink Moon"—and the album as a whole—gained little attention during Nick Drake's lifetime, but later achieved cult status, particularly after being featured in a 1999 Volkswagen commercial, which introduced a new generation to his work.
