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
Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh
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
Wah, wah
I won't let you leave my love behind
Why the hell would RP play this piece of shit?? And in between Pearl Jam and Blind Melon! Come on... I realize being diverse and eclectic is RP's calling card... but this goes too far in the wrong direction.
Roger posted this 18yrs ago. And he still wonders why he is alone in his mommy's basement. PS: if you don't clean up your mess, your mommy wants her laptop back!

Nice, breezy blast from the past... I can remember this being all over the radio when it came out. It was fun to sing along to -- seemed like everyone did, too -- and even though I was just a kid, it struck me as haunting, deep, and meaningful. Still does, of course. Thanks, RP!
YES!
That same songline popped in my head regarding Roger's comment.
This time thru My Faves but earlier today was on the main mix.
5 hours earlier.
Blue Hawaii, Piccadilly whore
Roger fell asleep in the hall
-- Hooverphonic, "Club Montepulciano"

Roger. You're a dick.
Given who Harry was sandwiched between when "roger" posted I can only assume this was meant as satire. But probably not...
I wonder what Leonard Cohen would sound like covering the song and doing that part. I bet he'd pull it off.
Maybe Joe Buck, accompanying Ratso Rizzo to Florida at the conclusion, is an example of "I won't let you leave my love behind?" That's an awfully big interpretive stretch ....
Wrong on 3 counts:
1. Harry Nilsson did not write this song.
2. This song was from Midnight Cowboy, not The Graduate.
3. This generation created some fantastic music, rejected several generations of bigotry and racism, rebelled against the mindless obedience to crooked politicians, and preached that all you need is love.
Nothing f---d up about that!
Written by the great Fred Neil.

"...rebelled against the mindless obedience to crooked politicians..."
Well their kids didn't get the memo judging by whatever it is we have in charge of the US government currently.

Well said!
Decent song. Disastrous album cover.
Lol, truly.
It looks as if Harry's saying:
Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh
meh
Moron.
For a raging alcholic, Mr. Nilsson had a lovely voice and wrote some beautiful lyrics too.
I always enjoyed listening to him - I believe this was a great tune from The Graduate. What a f----d up generation.

The cover shown is from a compilation album released in 1995 - about a year after Nilsson had died. Certainly they could've found some better image(s) and invested a little more in the graphic design, but labels and publishers often want to put out compilations as quickly as they can without concern for what it looks like.
Roger. You're a dick.
Roger that
Roger. You're a dick.
8 years later, Roger's post still stands as the worst take ever on RP.
Does this bring up bad memories for you Roger? Too close to home as a cowboy yourself?

Actually: from Midnight Cowboy.
Great movie too

Agree. Such a good song until that part. But I listen anyway.
H S H
It is pretty bad but far from "one of the lamest" - there are thousands of album covers which are far worst. Anyhow, it's a cover for a compilation album which was released after Nilsson had died and posthumous compilation albums have rarely had good covers.
Bump.
But those wah wahs were so fun to sing along to back in the 70's.

I never liked Glenn Campbell.
This song is pretty nice though!

Roger. You're a dick.
I guess it's almost unanimous. Roger's opinion is not very popular. I suspect it's an age thing. Anyone who lived through the 70's has this song in their life's soundtrack. I certainly do.
