If you're talking about a fairly old one, it's called "Pink Moon," and is an amazing song. I just got into nick drake, and the cd "An intro to Nick Drake" or something like that, is great at what it says it does.

Yep after I saw the VW commercial I got hooked on Nick Drake for a while. Check out "River Man" (from his 1st album, Five Leaves Left) if you can handle the depressing tone. It's a really cool song and it just hooks you the moment you hear it. Drake also did a nice jazzy song with some sax called "At The Chime of a City Clock" which is off of Bryter Layter I think. On that album there's another more upbeat song called "Hazey Jane I" that sounds impossible to play, but it's interesting to listen to. And you may recognize "Northern Sky" from a few movies it's been in. In my opinion it's even better than "Pink Moon". There are plenty of other great songs but those are probably my favorites. They're a nice change of pace when your brain hits its DMB limit.
