Pink Moon is a song by Nick Drake, released in 1972. It is the last song of his self-titled album and the only one without lyrics. The song was written by Drake in 1971.
Drake spent the last years of his life in great loneliness, and Pink Moon reflects this state of mind. The song is simple and melancholic, with a dark and mysterious atmosphere. The only instruments used are an acoustic guitar and a voice, which makes the song even more intimate.

Pink Moon has become a classic in folk music and has been covered by many artists, including Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt and Beck.
