Pink Moon (1972)

A timeless masterpiece of minimalism.  Underneath the depressing air is an ocean of comfort from the perspective of a defeated optimist.  An enlightening record on how I perceive things.  A true one of a kind.



1. Pink Moon- *****
A perfect song.  It never fails to melt me.  The only one to feature anything more than Nick's guitar and voice with a piano solo in the middle.

2. Place To Be- *****
One of those songs that never fails to hit hard.  A perfect song about loss of innocence.

3. Road- *****
Just a perfect song.  Love the guitar riff to pieces.  Sounds defeated, yet comforting.

4. Which Will- *****
Such a dreamy song in Nick's unique way.

5. Horn- ****1/2
An excellent piece of minimalism.  Works so well in the context of the album.

6. Things Behind The Sun- *****
This one always hits me in the gut.  It's so heartbreaking and raw.

7. Know- ****1/2
Childish fun in the midst of defeat within the album.  Love it.

8. Parasite- *****
Powerful and very atmospheric song.  I adore the vibe created here.

9. Free Ride- ****1/2
Such a smooth song, a little more laid back than the rest.

10. Harvest Breed- *****
Such a dark, yet sweet song.  Sounds so bleak, yet peaceful.

11. From The Morning- *****
The perfect conclusion to the album and my personal favorite.  It makes me feel fascinated by the world.
