- Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 - January 15, 1994), known professionally as Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. His work is characterized by pioneering vocal overdub experiments, returns to the Great American Songbook, and fusions of Caribbean sounds. A tenor with a 3½ octave range, Nilsson was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists of his era to achieve significant commercial success without ever performing major public concerts or undertaking regular tours.[2] The craft of his songs and the defiant attitude he projected remains a touchstone for later generations of indie rock musicians.

I was 18 years old when this song was released. The Vietnam war was raging on and I was scared that I would be drafted. I had a beautiful girlfriend. Hearing Nilsson’s incredible voice singing this incredible song takes me back to 1968 and a pivotal time in my life. Thank you Nilsson. I wish you were here with us
I bet he doesn't LOL
Thanks Jim
What happened with the girlfriend? Were you drafted?
Tenía 18 años y corria el año 1970. Vivía en España bajo el yugo de Franco, de la Iglesia Católica y de una familia disfuncional. Me marché de casa, me fuí a Paris. Allí trabajaba de "femme de ménage", vivía en una "chambre de bonne", me matriculé en Sociología en la Facultad de Vincennes y fui feliz. Desde el día, muy especial por cierto, en que vi la película y escuché esta canción creo que pocos días de mi vida he dejado de escucharla. Y a veces en bucle. Me pone la sangre hirviendo y me inyecta vida.
@@chrisfudge433 - "I bet he doesn't LOL" - What is that supposed to mean? He passed away almost 28 years ago!
I am a postal worker and many years ago I delivered a piece of mail to Harry and he answered the door and I will never forget it it was just before he passed away nice man
Midnight Cowboy.
That's nice to know.
My Dad loved Harry Nilsson, especially this song, he was a medic in the Vietnam war, born in 1948, he would have been 74 in 2 days. I lost him 11 years ago and I play this song and sing along as if he is right here with me. I won’t let him leave my love behind ❤️
So sorry to hear about your father. He would be one year older than me.
1947 and still here
😍
Aqui no Brasil, eu ouço e gosto muito desta música.
Jeez... that's a little scary. I'm 74 now and yeah... at some point, your life ends. Sigh... I just want to live long enough to watch the US explode in 2024... lmao!
one of the best things about 74 years old,Is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 60,s that Is priceless and I am grateful!!!
72 years old here. Loved and miss the good old days
Indeed ,me too
Think we've seen the best dear friend
@@johnalison2444 no doubt about it
I envy you.
I close my eyes and let this music flood over and through me and I'm not 70 I'm 18 again. Just graduated from high school with my whole life ahead of me. Where has the time gone?
Done gone slip slidin' away is where. Altogether too much fun back then but what a ride.
Dear Lydia, your words touch me deeply. Your words are my own. And Soldier is correct... damn, it has been one hell of a ride. I'm going now to hear George Burns sing I Wish I Were Eighteen Again... and the tears that want to fall now... will flow. May I close with a saying from the old times... Peace. (No one uses that word that way anymore... not even me, and I use to use it all the time. We need it now... more than ever.)
Absolutely✌💖🤘
brilliant im 64 love this
I wonder the same thing. I long for those days.
I'm only 52 but as a child in the 70's, my mom played this song all the time. She's 74 and her health is failing. It takes me back when I was a tot living in our 2 bdrm apt. Dad always at work or fishing so that gave me a lot of time with her. My mother made me love all kinds of music. This one is one of my favorites. ❤
Recognizable. Same memories of those days with the family. Beautiful times❤
(Is my Hubby account) I Hope ypu're Mommy fells well fine now. Sending hugs.
@@johnnyerblues Thank you for your kind words. ❤
Moi le disque que j ai eu de mon papa x mes 18 ans je sortais de l hopital operation de l appendicite belle chanson
You are more a child of the 80s wishful thinking on your behalf I think.
Música pra ouvir com a alma alguém ouvindo em 2024 deixa um joinha❤️❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I´m here in 2023 after 50 years... RIP Harry Nilsson
Who's still listening to this great song during the 2021 and 2022 pandemic? Or in 2024 because you just love this classic.
ME
I just listened to it cos I thought there was going to be more to it at the end. Now realise it was sent to piss me off....FAT CHANCE.
Me, me, me! August 8, 2020 opening of the Lions gateway portal today👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🌻🕊❤️❤️❤️
@@butterflylady8875
Yay. 💓👍
Michelle Stolz -your response got me snooping. Never heard of this day and I am a Leo. What a brilliant song. Its almost as if took on the persona of Glen Campbell when he wrote and performed this gem. It’s been way too long since I heard it and makes up for the trauma I suffered as a result of “Like A Rhinestone Cowboy.” It’s a long story but suffice to say, 8 track singles should have been banned by bus companies in the early 70’s. That’s all I have to say on that subject.
Harry Nilsson was unbelievable. His singing range , his style , he was a real force back in the day . So talented, his best friend John Lennon advanced him $5 Million dollars when the record company turned him away . Harry Nilsson left us much to early as well as his friend, John Lennon. God bless both of these two .
Nilsson died 14 years after Lennon was assassinated. Can't blame Lennon
Did he get his money back ?
KoivuTheHab The people who have to comment, when it’s a really stupid one line comment or so it’s most likely these people were born 20-30 years later than the subject but know just about everything. Fairy tale? You probably just read one last night, Junior.
@KoivuTheHab Maybe it was spell check. It happens to.
The worlds in turnoil and knobheads complain about a spelling mistake?........get a life
I was only nine years old. We had arrived in LA from Boston and were moving to California for a change of scenery. We were driving in the car and l heard this song. I get reminded of the miles of orange 🍊 groves as we cruised beside them. One thing is, that when l hear this, l get transported back California. I love to play this and other early seventies songs. 🎵 ❤
What a voice! One of the greatest vocal performances of all time.
This song was perfect for midnight cowboy.
That was one of my dad’s favorite movies!
Hey, I'm Walkin' Here!!!
saudades desse tempo.se pudesse fazer voltar atrás
Isaac Robison I always cry at the end of Midnight Cowboy
Great movie.Forgot that one till now just going to look for it again.
In the early 70s, when my friends were buying "Tiger Beat" magazines and swooning over David Cassidy, my heart belonged to Harry. It still does!
My first love (and only "true" one) reminded me a lot of Harry, and he also loved his music. "The Lottery Song" was OUR song; he was a plumber and we did save up and take that Summer trip to Vegas... and we were very happy for 8 years.
Unfortunately, like Harry, Bert died way too soon. We were going to be married that year. 31 years ago, and I'm still not "over" him.
Lazy I Ranch, U will meet again....:-) Best!
@@flyingchariot9080 I hope so! I still dream about him. Thank you for your kind words!
Hey just from what I just read in your comment you sound like one Awesome lady. Peace..
U r such a solid sweet gal....long joyful life to u dear
Tiger Beat 😝😝😝 I forgot about that
I miss the 60’s and 70’s times was good back then music was good 😌 life was good
Yes your 100% correct Katie. And unfortunately never to be like that again. SAD 😥
But great comment glad you're listening. 👍💓
@@freedomisbrightestindungeons
Good point Shay.
👍💓😊
You're absolutely right m8, not because we've been young then, but because the world was still "right in the head".
The difference is back then society had values. Today values are something to be torn down and trashed. What does science call this process; entropy.
Best years of my life, I loved the 60’s and 70’s
I was born in 1963 and I think we were privileged to hear the most beautiful music ever written from the late 50's to late 70's.
I was born in 1953 and I enjoyed the music more than anything, still do !! My kids love it, and grandchildren too !!!
I am the same way.
Waiting for a departure date in 1970 for emigration to sunny Queensland Australia, this was the song that kept us going. Leaving dreary winter in England "going where the sun keeps shining" and where "the weather suits my clothes" was an anthem that we have never forgotten. Yes we "skipped over the ocean like a stone". After 51 years....still no regrets! Thank you Nilsson RIP
The time when musician and singer were not role models, but their music was.
Id say that can still be true today
Wow, you said the 64 thousand dollars truth.
Take me back to where the weather suits my clothes
They're still not but only worse today 🙄
@@dannyboy2751 I couldn't agree more. 😄👍
And that, kids,is how it’s done; it’s called “talent”
No. They had talant.✌
Well that’s patronising!
Uh...that’s called “lip-synching”
No borrowing of anything
Harry Nilsson was an enormous and sadly underappreciated talent. That is, by the public at large. Fellow musicians and songwriters held him in high regard.
Absolutely timeless! Relevant, tuneful, soulful a masterpeice! Harry Nillson an amazing voice and a wonderful song writer
I love this Song Harry Nillson voice is Amazing
This is a Fred Neil song. His version, or rather the original, is even better!
@@rsmith8434 and sometimes we have to agree that the original is better. In this case, certainly!
Fred Neil wrote a nice song, and his voice was nothing special. It took Nilsson to make the song a classic, with his very individual timing and perfect vocals. He have it great emotional feeling, which I never felt in Fred Neil's rendering.
Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
I won't let you leave my love behind
Shout out to the late song writer/singer, Fred Neil from Coconut Grove FL & the coffee houses The Flick & The Gasslight for this great 60's song.
Thanks love
@Geneva K the best....so simple and deep....stay safe, Geneva
Thank you so much for sharing. Bless you. 🤲💥
This is exactly what I did in January 2021 during the pandemic. I left the US and moved to Mexico!
This was my grandpa’s song I play it for him when I go to cemetery and talk to pap
Nice.
yes!!! I love stories like this.
Your grandpa had good taste in music. This is surely one of my favorites.
Lucky you. I never knew my father's father. Great Guy with such a high human quality. Congrats.
seahawknproud66 That’s such a nice pr
Great to hear! Bless him and you
I was eight years old when this came out but it certainly made a profound impact on me. Harry-one of the greatest.
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes..memorable line.
I have always felt this song was kind of haunting...
Its haunting because he feels isolated, he talks about where he is going so there is hope but he hasnt left yet. The northeast is my home and i left here for a bit, this song hit me hard one day... and so i moved back
I always loved this song and often felt people "talking at me" and not to or with me but more themselves, beliefs or perceptions whether true or not. A note to self would occur where I could navigate my own reality while not becoming scripted or constrained by other people's fears or limitations.
Nice Cover of Fred Neal dong
@@zorancankovic3220 He covered his dong? LOL
Maybe because of a mental illness!
68 the year I was born.Great music
Although Harry is no longer with us, I could listen non-stop to this beautiful song these days, all day long. He was so amazing. Love from Taiwan in 2022.
Wonderful footage of this American classic by Harry himself...what a treasure, thank you!
This Song has to be one of the Top Ten Recorded Songs of all time. ❤
Can’t ever surpass the great music from this era in my opinion
I was a big fan of Harry Nilsson back in the day. I still am. He had a magnificent voice and is gone way too soon. So sorely missed.❤
this is fantastic, i am 63 and living a fantastic life, anyone out there that feels the same,
Born June 15, 1941. Happy birthday Harry
Didn't You see stupid he died on 94 jeeezzz
@@cazamilfs8945 Happy birthday to Harry anyway. Gone but not forgotten. Rip
Megalodon Morrison 🙄
Same age as Boris Johnson's Dad !!
I got the 15 June too but 18 years after!
Fabulous song. Theme song to the greatest of all movies, " Midnight Cowboy". Starring Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, the incredible movie won BEST picture in 1969. Everyone should see this show. Absolutely genius !!!
❤❤❤❤❤beste film,alle tijden groetjes
First heard this as an extremely young boy back in the 60s . Captivated me then and still to this day. Timeless.
Boy! Talking about a song that everyone can relate to. It's always been a favorite of mine.
I was 5 yrs-old in 1970 and I remember my 1st grade teacher playing this song at lunch recess and it's been my life story for the last 50 yrs.
same here,
There will never be another great like Nilsson. He was in a class of his own !
We're speaking here of one of the most amazing movies ever.
Sort of, though the movie came three years after the song's release.
A masterpiece.
Nilsson and the song are both fabulous, as the many comments attest, but also note the superb orchestration and high quality production. Not many songs get this royal treatment. Superb all around.
64, and love this.
It was different back then.
How i love Harry Nilsson❤
He’s one of best songwriters ever. this is one of my all time favorite songs. I remember watching Midnight Cowboy growing up and falling in love with it subsequently discovering Harry’s music
It is a wonderful performance but this song was written by a folk artist named Fred Neil. He was even more of a character than Harry.
Ah, back then, we couldn't hardly believe these terrible conditions projected in the film , Thank goodness we live here with our NHS system. Little did we know in just over fifty years hence, we'd be in a very similar situation , homeless, unemployed down and out folk sleepin' rough, just like depicted in this film ! Hoping for better times for all !
I grew up listening to Nilsson because of my Step Father. We also loved the point, had the album and loved the animation movie. He was so talented. Still love him now
I was a teenager still trying to figure out life when this song came out. My idea of heaven will be when I can hear all the great songs like this and not have a care in the world. "I'm going where the sun keeps shining through the pouring rain." He didn't have a father around when he was growing up and he grew up poor. He became famous and then all his money got embezzled by a heartless person. I hope he's in heaven hearing us all rave about him and his songs.
the Orchestration arrangements/Violins, take this song to another level.
Beautiful music from a troubled soul - thank you for being here, Harry ! ! !
Cool guy with an amazing voice. I hung out with him in the 80's a few times. Some great talks at a local watering hole
Cuando escuchas ésta canción y ves la película , quisieras estar en esa época de los 60's en donde había de todo como hoy, pero menos maldad , había libertad , y eras feliz con cosas sencillas, una hermosa canción con una voz muy especial, gracias .
como sellama la pelicula de esa cancion porfavor desirmlo
Siiiiiiiii, en esos años
éramos niños felices y con tan poco, éramos pobres pero felices jugábamos hasta con tierra hacíamos tortas de barro, y si llovía salíamos a la calle a mojarnos y no nos pasaba nada, ahora las mamás a todo le temen.
Nos compraban ropa solo para el 18 de septiembre o en navidad si es k había dinero si no, no.
Los zapatos nos duraban toda la temporada de colegio y la ropa nos la iban heredando de hermano en hermano.
Comíamos sanos no había mucho así k comíamos lo k hubiera y pan solo nomas y de bbdas. ni hablar se compraban solo para la ocasión, aguita para pasar la sed o agua con harina tostada y de postre frutas solamente, nada de postre en envasados.
Ay me desahogue JiJiJi

I loved this song from the very first time I listened to it, by then, I didn´t speak English😆, same thing happened to me with A Whiter Shade of Pale and dozens more.....still love them, and will love them forever...
*Such beautiful music, and the year we arrived to this beautiful country, life was good, and it just kept getting better.*

well isn't Australia out side the. Us. 🇺🇸. I got a f in history.
I was living in Germany as an Army Brat in 1968. Beat Club was on German TV. I saw this on their show. Good times👍
Melodía maravillosa, como muchas más de esa época, lo mejor de lo mejor
What a memory
Congratulations
I met Harry at a Beatlefest convention. What a wonderful time it was to listen to him talk about his career and the times he spent with John. R.I.P. Harry
Fred Neil wrote this, his version is good too. Sweet melancholic masterpiece takes me back to my youth.
Correct Sir.
I'm so mad that this man is not still with us. He was talented.
Don't be mad. Be grateful he was ever with us.
I was badly wanted in Vietnam I was home in the hospital I was hoping I get better soon but it took a long time I was more than 67 and I every time I hear this song brings back those memories good and bad and you know something I do it all over again again
For me, this song always brings back a particular moment in time. I remember this song playing on the radio when I was a toddler, on an overcast day, at my grandmother's house.
🌹🌹🌹
That's so beautiful, thank you for sharing that. I was also just a tot when it came out, and share a fond nostalgia for that time. And for some reason, an overcast day puts me in mind of this music; being in the house instead of playing outdoors...maybe because back then it was an actual act to play an LP on the stereo, or to turn the radio on and have it fill the house, instead of just pressing "play" on the appendages we've grown i.e. our smart phones. xoxo
@@just4music687 Thank you. And yes, I agree. At my nan's house, the radio was what she listened to only her music on, and if the stereo was on then it was my aunt's or uncle's music playing. So many of my earliest music memories are attached to a particular moment in time, such as where I was, what kind of day or night it was, etc.
Was this song in the croods trailer or something?
One of the greatest recording artists of all time RIP
52 anos se passaram, e estou tendo o prazer de ouvir essa música,, ,,muito gratificante !
He is so young here. Always love his music.
God this is as good as it gets. All of the sudden obsessed with this song.😊
God I could go back to those times in a heart beat Iam 74 years old now and l lost my beautiful wife Susan of 48 years ago I remember the Highschool dances The carsRiding around in my. 57 Chevy with my.girl There will never be a time like that again for young.teen ages Truly a time gone by
I hope you're doing well, Bill
Wow what a great song by legend singer harry.
Rest in peace.
You will be remembered for year's ahead to come especially with this song and all other songs especially without you
Sou de 1964, mas amo essas músicas. Não há comparação com as de hoje. ❤️❤️
So glad that I grew up in the greatest eras that we’ve ever had!!! Our music is priceless!
74yo here. And, we seem to know the words to all the songs. We were so lucky.
One of the most under rated artist ever bec of stage fright … if I had his voice I’d be strutting like Tina Turner .. he was GREAT and this song will never grow old ..
The album Neilson smeilson is a masterpiece, top 10 album of all time, give it a listen!!!
I spot on!! I was a young Marine in NAM, I bought the cassette through the PX. I just loved it. Among others, that period of music was/is unequaled !!! The weed in NAM matched the music !!! Dam what a time.
You, was supposed to be first word !!
@@arlingtonhynes Yes, that is his best Album.
@@richardalexander4300 There is no album by that name.
@@arlingtonhynes Yes, it is !!! The song "The lime and the coconut" and "Without You" come from that album. It has a black and white cover. You can bring it up on UTUBE.
WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE,I'M CRYING NOW
czcams.com/video/G-ZDKirjQgM/video.html. This should move you also
First time I heard this song was actually on an episode of Futurama. It was just a small sample, but it was so good that it made me look up the whole song and it's been in my top 5 favorite songs since. Harry passed away some time ago but his voice still reaches people decades later. That always says a lot when someone's passion and talent lives on even after they're long gone. RIP to Harry.
this is called a no bullshit performance absolutely beautiful
Except its lip syncing
@@BardiaSaeedi that was the current technology...
Excelente canción , una voz única. Great music, great memories. Greatings.
That's one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
This song is painfully heartfelt.
My dad had his greatest hits on vinyl. I’d pop it on the record player, put the headphones on and listen over and over. This and Sound of Silence were my favorites in the late 70’s, early 80’s.
this song makes me so emotional and idk why
I heard so many of his tunes on the radio growing up without realizing what a prolific songwriter he was. He left us too soon.
What other songs did he have that were hits other than this one and "Without You"?
@@floogelhornzzz4770 The coconut song, for one. He was a prolific songwriter. He has a vast library of songs.
He wrote One, which he recorded before Three Dog Night hit #5 on the charts with it. His songs Without Her, Cuddly Toy, One, and Maybe, were on albums that hit the #Top 10 with Glen Campbell, The Monkees, Three Dog Night and Barbara Streisand. Not bad for a guy who NEVER performed on any appearances or tours.
Harry R.I.P. and Thank You for making this world a better place through your talents.
A true genius...thanks for cheering me in these troubled times.
Tears in my eyes for the beauty of this classic song.
This song puts you in a trance.
Lol. I’m Black, born in 1962 and I love this song. RIP Harry ❤️
Wow takes me back to a very happy time in my life along with the Beatles "Hey Jude" when my daughter was born, life was simple and easy then.
Não canso de ouvir essa belíssima música! 😍😍😍
One of the best songs of the swinging 60's.
esta es la cancion de sueño metrae recuerdo de mi niñes
Among many !!! The 60s and 70s produced unequal music for everyone !!!
I was 15 when Midnight Cowboy was released. Harry wasn't exactly chart stopping stuff but I was hooked. What a voice. What a talent. Love you Harry.
His singing of Without You was a #1 hit song that topped the charts ...
One tune that I won't get tired offff hearing, absolutely beautiful brilliance of a tune, Lovely Bubbly Jubbly!
This is one of the very few songs that gives me the goosebumps, literally. But in a good way, maybe because I relate so much til the 2:10 mark or maybe because I just love the song. I wish more music like this was made.
Why 2:10?
@@dwho432 up until the 2:10 mark is about him and life, after that is about a lover/woman. I relate to/think about this song from a life/mental standpoint
Its a shame you don't also related to the last 23 seconds. Just to the 2:10 mark. 🤦♂🤦♂

Eu tinha 17 anos, era tão feliz que tempo bom aqueles, felizes os que viveram nessa época, onde a qualidade das músicas eram tão diferentes das de hoje. Saudafes😓😓😓😓❤❤❤❤
Sou de 1990 melhores músicas são as antigas.
Así es, había letra había melodía había armonía había ritmo y había mensaje en las canciones eran otros tiempos en los que para tener éxito tenías que ser bueno porque la competencia era fuerte
I was a young, too young mum in the 60s couldn't wait to be married and have a family. But how I regretted that. These singers kept me going. I eventually went to see the Midnight cowboy stars in England. I loved this music and everything aout the man. Down to the bottom. Can't live if living is without you.. play him every day. Still rushing around wishing I had to done things differently. These singers make life better after all the years. Love them, appreciate the music so much.
Adoro, perfeito, música lindaaaaaa👏👏👏👏👏👏🎶🎵

"Everybody's Talkin' (Echoes)" is a song written and recorded by singer-songwriter Fred Neil in 1966 and released by himself two years later. A version of the song performed by Harry Nilsson became a hit in 1969, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and winning a Grammy Award after it was featured in the film Midnight Cowboy.🎸🥁🎷🎺
❤❤❤I love all the oldies songs and this song I love. It reminds me of the good old days when I was younger. All the oldies from the 60s and the 70s I love more easy to sing and dance to.
This song tugs at my heartstrings more than most. Harry was a multidimensional singer, but this was my favorite. Remember Lime in The Cocoanut? That man could do it all. Harry called the doctor and woke him up. :)
The hostess is Ursula "Uschi" Nerke, a German actress. She's now 76, and looks great for her age.
I thought she was Canadian
she is absolutely stunning
One of the best songs of the Sixties and beyond.
Beautiful voice. A time where music was real. A story with every song.
I miss the 60's and 70's music.
Yes I would listen to this every day words are have so much truth
I’m with you Katheryn. Is it maybe what we wish for ourselves?? Going where the weather suits my clothes.....banking off of a northeast wind.....
