But I do especially like the bittersweet contrast of the audioclip from Ginger.  Could anyone more technically savvy than myself (which isn't saying much) inform as to how I might cut-and-paste the clip for posterity?  thnx!


The clip Ginger posted is from the movie, and yes, it is much more haunting than the campy-sounding version that was used for the TV show (sans lyrics, CBS didn't want to use them because they may have been taken as encouraging suicide.)  The song is from one of the best scenes in the movie, btw.

I have no idea, but I think I would have heardx that before if it were.  I'll check out the credits on the movie and get back to you.

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out the connection myself.  I've been a Nick Drake fan since about 1976...

Wow.  I had never heard of him until the 90s, when Sebadoh covered "Pink Moon".  Then a couple of years later the Nick Drake version was used in a VW commercial.  What a beautiful, tragic figure........

I've only been into him for like 5 years. I've heard a lot of his stuff, though.

The album Pink Moon is a classic.

He could play an acoustic!

Some interesting M*A*S*H trivia.  I found it especially interesting that Robert Alman's son, Mike, wrote the lyrics (age 14 at the time)...

And re. long awareness of Nick Drake: let's just say I am not so young... but really, I had some excellent tutelage from a local record store owner at the time, not to mention that I made a mean batch of brownies... ahem.

I have just stumbled across this thread. This song brings back some memories for me. I played the piano and drums very poorly in a terrible sometime adolescent rock band. The Manic St Preachers had released this & we used to play a shithouse cover of it.
 In one of the very few live pub gigs we got I managed to get busted and told off for buying liquor underage by an undercover young cop who I had been trying to flirt with. Sneaky Bastard! It was right after we played this song. I am not sure to this day if he knew i was underage because my fake ID picture had me wearing my school uniform or if it was because i was so totally lame. possibly a little from both columns.

I love this song.  And I love to hear of people's memories associated with it...  I'm watching M*A*S*H right now, as I write...

BTW, spelling correction of previous post:  Mike Altman (my fingers skipped the "t").
