Actually, I've read the Nick Drake biography and everyone around him, his friends and family all agreed that right before he died he was just starting to get happy again. He was really optimistic about Pink Moon and that was a first because he had always been so negative about everything. So friends and family and even fans have a good reason to believe his death was an accident. After reading about his life it's hard to imagine he'd kill himself. From the view I've read I feel that as long as he was making music he would have no reason to kill himself. Everything else in the world could have brought him down but he loved making music and was planning on making it for many, many years to come. But as for what 'fugazifathead' said, this song isn't just about a moon. A lot of Nick's songs had references to depression and death and people barely noticed after his death. He was depressed... that's the sort of stuff musicians write about when they're depressed. This isn't just a song about a moon on a beautiful night. Trust me.
I've often heard it said that family/friends of a suicide report the same thing; a lift in mood before the person goes through with it. It's been attributed to a feeling of relief because the person has made up their mind to do it, and they're making peace with people. It looks like they're recovering, but the happiness is because they know it's all about to be over.

I don't know if I'd rather think he ended his pain on his own terms or if I'd rather believe that he could see some value in life and was trying to rebuild. Either way, I'm happy that he lived and made this timeless music for us.
