  • Can not be out done.  Sorry, wanna bees.

  • the best version of them all

  • I love this song so much and this is the only version I will listen to. Sung with such passion and heart it's an absolute classic

  • @AnaJil Still the most beautiful upload of this song. I watch often and continue to love the wolves.

  • One of the saddest songs ever made ...

  • This is actually a Badfinger song. Nillson covered it.

  • Beautiful voice, sad song, stunning pictures. Maybe I can't "Live" but I can exist, perserve, share.

  • This is THE "without you". I don't think anyone can do it better.

  • polska POWER !

    Swietna nuta...

  • KEN LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • good voise and song

  • p.p.s here is another harry nilsson song along the same

    lines: on youtube ... /watch?v=JU1IMXe8EkI

  • p.s. carey's "version" is nothing but a simple copy of the origianl -- she has not added anything to speak of...

  • @daNorse: It's not a copy of the original, it's a copy of this version. The original is the one by Badfinger (Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger composed it as well). I personally like all versions of it, but to each his own.

  • I always kept this in my collection -- it is one of the best songs ever--- too bad it slipped into oblivion for anybody to grab...

  • Good video to go along with this song

  • I love this well posted and  beautiful graphics

  • i remember when i though this song is singing by woman :O his voice is amazing....

  • There's another, and perhaps, older version : Badfinger's Without You (1970).

  • This is the only version of this song. Anyone who "thinks" Mariah Carey's rendition is superior is a loon. She will never compare to Nilsson.

    3 Reasons Why:

    1.She doesn't have a beard.

    2. She can't party like Nilsson did.

    3. She doesn't have beard.

  • @SkyWalkerWHS I like her version but this is still the best.

  • @SkyWalkerWHS and shes a silly bint

  • @SkyWalkerWHS chuck norris have a beard

  • @shevlovely Yeah, but the thought of Chuck singing this song is enough to cause HORRIFIC NIGHTMARES. Brrrrr *shudder*

  • אני מצטערת שרק ישראלים יכולים לקרוא את זה, אבל השיר הזה פשוט עושה לי צמרמורת. בזמן האחרון הרגשתי קצת מתה מבפנים. בסופו של יום הרגשתי עצב עמוק- ובלי שום סיבה ברורה לעין. אפילו השירים שנהגתי להיעזר בהם, בזמנים פחות רעים, השפיעו לדקה אחת יחידה. אני כל כך שמחה שנתקלתי במקרה בשיר הזה; הוא ממלא אותי מבפנים שוב. לאחר שאיבדתי תקווה מהכל, יש לי פתאום מטרה. זהו, אני לא יכולה יותר. כואב לי. הלכתי להקשיב לשיר עוד פעם.. <3

  • The coolest songs released the year I was born!!!! 72 rocked!!!!

  • Sorry

    This is Maria Carey

  • @JXJJason Honey, this is the ORIGINAL!!

  • @JXJJason - Um, Maria Carey was about 1 yr old when this came out....and it's one year older than me. You must know what Google is for....go Google it, silly sausage....

  • @JXJJason its harry nilson u dombass, maria dont have cahnce to sing like that man could.

  • Idiot this is mari

  • This is a Beautiful song that touches my heart

  • vive les versions originales y a rien de meilleur et plein de souvenirs

  • C'est la chanson de mon ami et moi, simplement, je l'adore!!

  • This gave me light goosebumps...

  • OMG... One of the most beautiful love song ever.

  • Hilarious that Whitney Houston does a cover of this song, that is a cover of Parton. Atleast Nilson made the song in his own style, but Houston just carbon-copied Nilson.

  • Ahhh...this is the version I remember as a kid. Listened to the BadFinger version...knew it wasn't it. Nice.

  • @kdm98,

    You are right! Same here, that's the version that brought me old memories! It's carved in my mind. It does matter what version I listen to, this one is "Original" to me!

  • mariah carey la grosse pute qui lui a volé et a eu plus de succes :(

  • Heuuu !!!! Moi ???

  • à celui que j'aime mais qui en doute............. et pourtant ......du plus profond de mon coeur !!!!!! je t'aime mon coeur

  • All this time I thought it was eric carmen singing.

  • remember as a teenager putting in my 2 pence into phone box to listen to this classic song on dial a disc

  • 這才是真正的在唱歌

    燃燒自己的歌曲就應該像這樣

    

  • Long after Tom's Death, in 2005 a settlement was made. Pete's and Tom's estate will now retain all song writer rights to their music.

    Pete Ham’s sole heir, daughter Petera, now owns the Pete Ham copyrights, while Tom Evans' wife, Marianne, along with their son, Stephen, own the Tom Evans copyrights. Their old manager died 4 years later, may he rot in Hell.

    Rest in peace Pete and Tom...

  • The best cover, absolutely, but the original will always top all versions. The very tragic fate of Bad Finger (the original artists) only adds a level of sorrow to an already wonderfully written and performed song. Because of their manager, they made very little off of the music and the rest went to him and Apple Records.

  • Pete Ham, the author of the song, unable to cope with horrible living conditions and the exploitation of the band through their horrendous contract, hung himself. His best friend and band-mate, Tom Evans, continued with the band singing this song and finally fueled by loss of his friend and his wife and child living in poverty, hung himself.

  • Fecking beautiful, love the pictures too ;D

  • this was good, but i prefer Mariah carey's version a bit more..

  • @eenjooy93 i know you are joking because i just saw some non-english people talking shit on your site as well.

  • A great  voice and a wonderful song!!!

  • A beautiful song written by the late great Pete Ham of Badfinger.

  • Why is there a dog in this......they're nice and all, but heck....

  • @Undercovergirlism Dogs?? More like wolves,

  • I love you Rita Hall

  • ANOTHER TEARJERKER..DAMN IT KITTY.....WITHOUT U...IVE BEEN ON DEATH ROW SINCE LAST YEAR...THATS WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE ANYWAY...DAMN..I WISH IT COULD HAVE WORKED OUT..WE'D BE HALF WAY DOWN THE AISLE RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT WASNT IN THE CARDS..DAMN..DAMN..GOOD LUCK HONEY AND WISH ME THE SAME...IM DYING WITHOUT U SWEETIE..X0

  • Amazing song amazing singer

  • John Lennon's favourate singer mine too.

  • Anyone even attempting to cover this masterpiece should be ashamed of trying.

  • Beautiful song and video! Hugs and woofs and two paws up from your new friend Harley Dog :-)

  • The song is well done here. I'm not one to be upset because others have different dislikes and likes than I do. Makes me no difference. But, I will say that I think there are other versions of this song as good as this one and probably some even better. That is MY OPINION and I think this comment section is for one to put their opinion on it. Thank you for posting the song. Have a good day.

  • fuck mariah carey. Taking all the glory for this song.

  • @frkammi Agreeded

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs

  • This cover does justice for Badfinger<3 def one of the better covers out there

  • This is a wonderful song, but, it's too bad that not many people realize just how great of a songwriter/musician the writer of this song really was. Peter Ham of Badfinger wrote SO MANY great songs, but, his, and, Tom Evans' tragedies, along with their greatness, are even forgotten these days!?!? RIP - Peter, Tom and Harry Nilsson!

  • There is only ONE version of this song worth listening to..... THIS IS IT. :-)

  • @AMikeOnLine I agree, completely. AnaJil did a wonderful thing with this upload.

  • @AMikeOnLine badfinger

  • @asdxxme Fuck yeah! Badfinger all the way.

  • @AMikeOnLine

    absolutely :)

  • @AMikeOnLine What about the Spanish rendition he did on the same album? I do like that one too, even though I'm not an expert in the language it's cool to hear him sing it. Kinda like when the Beatles did their songs in German.

  • @AMikeOnLine The original writers, Peter Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger did it best.

  • @AMikeOnLine Listen to the original version by Badfinger from 1970

  • Nilsson vs mariah.....no waY  Mariah!!!

  • me gusta mas con mariah carey

  • Best version hands down...so much musical talent with seemingly little effort...watch the harry nilsson documentary

  • My God! This is such an incredible version of this tune. Wow! What a gift...

  • Anyone who doesn't think Nilsson is a great singer is a tone deaf tosser.

  • Badfinger and Harry Nilsson's versions > Mariah Carey.

    Personally, I prefer Badfinger's version, but this one is still great.

  • How many years ago? how much time wasted? From the bottom of my heart...........

  • Piękna piosenka wywołująca dreszczyk emocji, aż chciałoby się słuchać dalej.

  • Ah, the original version of "Ken Lee"...

  • @eauhomme Badfinger's is better

    

  • Mariah Carey, la vremea cand era promovata de acel "mogul" Tony Mottola, cu care s-a si casatorit in acea perioada, a preluat melodia acestuia cantand pe baza unei prelurari pri care asa-zi-sa diva ar fi trebuit atunci sa demonstreze acelui mottolo ca aste buna la cantat! In rest, a devenit diva datorita presei de specialitate!

  • wiki says badfinger in 1970 was the first for this bichoi96, I thought it was nillsson too

  • SIN TI...

    SIN TI... ¡¡Una Nada hay a mí alrededor!!...

    SIN TI... ¡¡Solo espero un al fin terminar!!...

    SIN TI... ¡¡De una oscuridad seré nadador!!...

    SIN TI... ¡¡Mi Alma no tendrá que visionar!!...

    SIN TI... Alrededor de un terminar estará el nadador en su visionar...

    

  • Zanesville, OH  Fifty animals gone.

  • Bellísima música y excelente dramatización musical, como resultado, la canción es una joya.

  • Harry it's my dick.

  • AIR SUPPLY.

  • Sorry dude, it is not the original. The original was written and performed by Badfinger in 1970. Nilsson's version is a cover from 1972.

  • This is not a version, this is the original

  • @weirdspanishdude LMAO fuck mariah carey, This is the original and his voice is amazing along with the song :D

  • @weirdspanishdude you're friggin' weird all right

  • I think this version is the best!

  • Beautiful song - remember it was one of the first records I saved up my pocket money to buy. Guess that ages me! Thanks for posting it.

  • This guy was one of the most talented singer/songwriter artists of his time. Thanks for posting this, my favorite of all his tunes! I love it.

  • one of the best voices you never get back

  • Lovely video! Hugs and woofs and two paws up from Harley Dog :-)

  • the Badfinger and this version is great.

  • AnaJil: Thanks for the invite. Just subscribed. I'm all over anything from Nilsson. And, I have to add, the photos with fog. Reminds me of East TN, where I'm from. Very early in the AM, in the summer and in the country, a mist hangs over everything until the sun comes up and burns if off. Those photos really take me back. Thanks again.

  • This is the best version of this song. Hands down ...

  • much better than bad fingers original.

  • He did this song in one take after a fight with his manager. True story.

  • nice slow mellow song. Rest In Peace Harry Nilsson!

  • I used to think this was romantic. Now it sounds like it's about death.

  • "The Rules Of Attraction"

  • AnaJil: This is beeeautiful. Perfect video to watch while Nilsson sings this beeeautiful song. I love the wolves. Had the privilege to hear them, in the distance, while camping out West. You did good AnaJil, you did GOOD!

  • Porridge the movie!

  • QUE HERMOSA CANCION.....FELIZMENTE LA ESCUCHE SOLO SINO ME ENAMORABA DEL PRIMERO QUE TUVIERA AL FRENTE

  • cant get that chorus out of my head,damn earwig!

  • Loved the video. The images were wonderful accompanied by a great song.

  • this song was a big a very big story for me .

  • Only Air Supply can sing it.... love wolves-

  • I love the wolf pictures you used to do this video :D

  • Yes, probably Mariah Carey's version of the song is very good and she is a great singer of course.......but this one of Harry Nilsson is divine and incomparable.....no doubt.

  • ♥ I Am So Loving This Song ~ And Your Visual's Are Awesome ♥

  • FUCK YOU YOU RUINED MY EVENING I NEED TO LISTEN TO SOME METAL AND NEUTRALIZE MY EMOTIONS

  • @delicat87 JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA....XDD

  • so fucking sad guilty pleasure

  • the only and best performance of this song by any Artist any where by far

  • Poly goustarw pou yparxoun pantou ellhnika sxolia!!!Exei gelio na mhn katalavainoun ti leme... :P

  • No puedo estar ni un segundo sin ti, cuando me dices hasta mañana siento un vacio que queda dentro de mi y lo llenas cada vez que estamos juntos nuevamente TE AMO LOBO MI VIDA, TE AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­O... (k)

  • @GoranMaric89 Mariah will never beat the nilsson version ever

  • @bonar84 Mariah bests it by miles and miles. They're not even close. Mariah's is so clear and simple.

  • @MrDetwaa Anyone who thinks that is a cunt. Harry could make you cry by singing this. That vile twot Carey destroyed one of the most beautiful songs ever and should rot in hell like the pointless shallow flotsam that she (and all of her fans) is

  • @guyboxerdog you get pussy or ass much?

  • @MrDetwaa I am married. Deduce your own answer. Not sure of the relevance of the question though

  • @MrDetwaa haha, man, you're askin' for trouble

  • @MrDetwaa Boooo. Booooo on you and your first born son. NOBODY can do it better than Nilsson!!!!

  • @BgMsDangerus She's tone deaf in this song. Mariah sings it with better rhythm. It's gotta be the better producer under Mariah, not Mariah herself of course.

  • @MrDetwaa Sorry, can't agree. And just who is this Mariah you keep going on about (hehehe)? Nilsson is still tops on my list.

  • @MrDetwaa Mariah Carey sings the song with less heartfelt meaning than anyone could ever do. Totally misunderstood what the song stood for and should stick to cod soul songs and the only decent record the tart ever made was that xmas shit from years ago.

  • @TheRobertsharp Wow you totally don't know Mariah Carey if that's what you think. She sung this song beautifully. I don't know why you people can't accept that.

  • @bonar84 

  • @bonar84 amen to that

  • @GoranMaric89 . sorry youre talking rubbish. harry wrote this before mariah was born

  • @1baboy1 True - Harry's is the definitive version and a pure classic. But the song was written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of the group Badfinger. Their version is here on YouTube: watch?v=PyBS_1vGwpU

  • Guys... this is THE version.

    Make you feel like you 're made of melting chocolate.

  • This version is better than Mariah's. I'm not saying Mariahs version is bad but this version is too good to beat.

  • We miss you Harry. I wish you were still around growing old with the rest of us. I know you still had a lot of great songs to share with us.

  • Harry Nilsson puts incredible honesty and emotion into this song. That's why he will always be remembered for it.

    Harry Nilsson OWNS this song. No other performer has ever even come close!

  • Splendid video! a very known song and of very great beauty and in more one fantastic screen !! AWESOME *****FAV

  • Also...This reminds me heavilly of LINK Wolf.....in 'Legend of zelda Twilight Princess'

  • Makes you wonder WHY men and women fall in love? There really is no reason for this odd behaviour. Nature has a lot more to sing about.

  • Correction...'Twilight Princess' :)

  • The wolf pics remind me of the cult game 'Legend of zelda princess twilight' on the game cube. I completed the game but i have kept the cube and the game and i often play it even today.

  • CLASSIC. Thanks for posting the nice pics too. :)

  • Magnifique ! J'adore et la vidéo et la chanson !!!

  • Nice piano playin' by Gary Wright

  • i almost cry!!!!!!τέλειο τραγούδι..<3

  • @Nelly289Gre Apodei3h oti oi Ellhnes 3eroume na akoume swsth mousikh!

  • @Kkitharas23 συμφωνώ!!!!!!<3

  • @Kkitharas23 kai vevaia 3eroume trelos eisai????

  • its a dogs life!

  • Amo esta cancion, me recuerda unos tiempos muy felices y representa mucho

    para mi! Buen trabajo con el video!

  • nossa essa musica é lindaaa

  • Love the wolves. :)

  • What musical genre would you consider this?

    Wikipedia tells me pop...

  • @PTNLemay Soft rock or adult contemporary.

  • My favorite song!!!! Just love it!!!!!! <3

    Sooooo sweet...<3

  • Only one Harry.

  • Everyone is calling this the original version. It is the most familiar to most people, but the original was written by members of Badfinger and also recorded by them. I don't believe it was ever released as a single though.

  • I SO <3 this beautiful song. I love his version the best. BUT Mariah does an outstanding job on this one. She is the only one to rival him where this song is concerned (in my opinion). Either way it's a beautiful song..

  • I like Mariah's version more, but this original is awesome too!

  • @Raoulirshan

    this isn't the original

  • @JoshRobertson142

    this is the original , madame mariah c steal this song

  • @elenagoethe

    badfinger wrote this song in, it was on there album. harry nilsson covered it.

  • @elenagoethe not steal, cover it

  • This is a classic and anyone singing it but Harry ruin it.

  • RIP harry <3
