He was interesting. Had his own guitar style, so unique no one can figure out his tunings. And yet, on some of his earlier albums he sounded unnessasarily over-produced in my opinion. Talents like that don't need ooo ooo ooo girls.

I downloaded paper moon after that commercial came out. I still listen to the song once in a while, but i never bothered checking anything else out by him.
It's a really nice song, but isn't it about suicide or something like that? and isn't that what he ended up doing to himself?

Nick Drake did not commit suicide. He took the wrong pills in his mother's cabinet, and many thought it was suicide, but it was a terrible accident.
If he had survived this event, though, I am sure he would have committed suicide.
He was a brilliant musician born in the wrong time, and, as someone mentioned, very underappreciated. His music is lilting and dreamlike, and though it is depressing, I feel uplifted after I listen to him.

Correction: Officially, Nick Drake's death was ruled a suicide by the coroner, but if you hear the full story, it really seems that he took one too many sleeping pills. He was depressed, and had insomnia. I still believe that it was an accident. If you read the mom's story, it really seems that way.
