How Can I Be Sure Of You - Harry Nilsson

[Lalune350z]

Wtf is with the slideshow?

[tovakaye]

things are never what they seem...

[JOZLEDEACHE]

The other day a friend of mine said, he said the sun's not really yellow, he said the sun is really red I said, my friend what do you mean, You read that in some magazine, Next thing you'll say the earth's not green How can I be sure of you, when you know, The world's always changing, rearranging, Always changing, changing I said my friend how do you do, And what you're saying isn't true, The next thing you'll say the earth is blue

[TheAofSpades]

lisening this song makes me feel like i'm max, and i am talking with charlie at "la siroque", at that beautiful table in the garden

[keltyfifer]

I can't believe it I've just celebrated my 72nd birthday and I've just discovered Harry Nilsson for crying out loud - what planet have I been on? I love him to bits and I'm going to listen to him everyday until my end.

[upsidedown8243]

i love the movie A Good Year. so wonderfully european and romantic. and the i love harry nilsson's music.

[mopbrothers]

Not just gifted. Unique and airy and maybe something fragile. Why are such artists fragile?

[emeraldsrain]

Great song, but God is this a terrible video.

[emonel96]

@emeraldsrain I like the video:D

[kathykisslight]

@emeraldsrain : I agree, the pictures are so unrelated t hat they are nearly disturbing.

[ssadem89]

i finally found it

what a beatiful sonG!!!

inn the movie was too good

[robelstable]

so good

[lilwes00]

this is now my fav song

[oasis9876]

the earth is blue and the sun is red

[donotfret]

Thank you for posting this grand song

[stubbyguy]

wow this guy writes like Lennon and McCartney

[1MN1]

@stubbyguy

They publicly stated he was their favourite artist; the admiration was mutual. He also later became close friends with Lennon, who produced one of his albums.

[bdicat]

Watch a movie called In God we Trust, and hear yet another version

[09lianhua]

This song is on the soundtrack to A good Life starring Russell Crowe. It's a lovely song!

[tzeqin]

@09lianhua - yeps, "today is greedy bastard day"

[evinka75]

wasn't it a good year?

[OrangeAni]

I agree :)

[DanTheMagicMan101]

the movies actually called " A good year" directed by Ridley Scott. And yes its on the official soundtrack.

[jamesytheblue]

You mean "a good year"?

[ReneeRelax]

OMG! The song is great!!! But I'm sure, I've heard it in another movie too... [in scene, where someone was murdered i believe...] and it seemed pretty odd to me... the song and the scene has nothing in common and that was ironic... Please!!! if anyone has idea bout the movie... Share it ;]]]

[queenymax]

Oh I heard this the first time in the most beautiful movie ever; a good year. So awesome. Nilsson's a genius.

[donotfret]

@queenymax damn! I totally agree about A GOOD YEAR. The movie just passed under the radar of everyone without a flinch and it happens to be exceptional.

[SztyletowyDuch]

@queenymax A Good Year?

[OrangeAni]

@queenymax me too :))) Good movie

[TheSaint856]

great song great art...

i m really into your slideshow too...

[Tae9784]

this song rocks.... my friends get at me for listening to it tho... but I love it.... awesome song to skate to =)

[niiza390]

プロヴァンスの贈りもの　見てこの曲めっちゃ好きになった。てかずっと１年間探してた

[budman89799]

how can I get my hands on this song?

[jamesytheblue]

I got it on i-tunes.

[Spiritgirldance]

how can I be sure of me?

[colorblind68]

Very Artistic Video. I get it. Ignore the negative criticism. When you are an artist you get used to it. (i.e. "everyone's a critic").

[aachelabelaaron]

no, i think the random juxapositions are a good counterpoint to the song...in a bizzare way blaurape got it just right...

[DanTheMagicMan101]

again... whats with the samurai and the sun throwin up "the shocker" at 2:28 ?

[diejner]

@DanTheMagicMan101, at least it somehow fits the lyrics...

but it is very uncertain yet. We can't say for sure.

[DanTheMagicMan101]

yeah ... your images are on crack.... absolutely nothing to do with the song...

so how did you come up with that did you just google image "how can i be sure of you" and just go to the last freaking page? ha you silly

[mikedelepine]

ugly video? bad taste? hmmm....seems more to me that it's bad taste to criticize someone who spent so much time putting this together and placing another amazing Nilsson song on the internet...I share the same opinion of critics that Neil Young has always had...who needs them!

[JetBoy600]

Guys,

After further exhaustive research I must retract my earlier pronouncements - this lovely sone is...written by the great Harry Nilsson.

[becomepostal]

Ugly video. Bad taste.

[JetBoy600]

To all of you fans. Please note that this song, whilst a great performance by Nilsson is not a song he wrote. The composers where Pete Ham and Tom Evans from the great British band BadFinger. They also wrote Harry's biggest hit Without You

[RevSpike]

ok - badfinger wrote "Without You", not "How can i be sure of you" (unless ur referring to other post) in fact the verses to this are same as Nilsson's "Good for God". sounds like thats what this song eventually became.

[Sshelly34213]

@JetBoy600 Um...Harry Nilsson wrote How Can I be Sure of You...what are you talking about?

[bunchie1966]

WHat a great song; Nilsson certainly had a knack for creating unusual melodies and chord patterns. This generation's songwriters should study his songs and break out of the 3/4 chord mode most of them seemed to be locked in.

[nexthendrix10]

an intoxicating song from an intoxicating movie, great post.

[jmagus]

yes, quite

[acoustic8y3]

what a beautiful little song. RIP Nilsson.

[MuizeekPhanahtic]

A very hard-to-find swee treasure of a song by the late GREAT Harry Nilsson! Thank you very much for making this available to YouTube listeners. I thought you did a nice job with the video too, putting together a diverse collage of various images (the black cat especially an adorable touch!). This song is available on iTunes and as a bonus track on Harry's smash-hit album "Nilsson Schmilsson." The piano work is catchy and powerful. The vocals heartfelt and solid. Meaningful lyrics. Terrific! A+!

[sortofsilver]

Fantastic Film "A Good Year by Ridley Scott is a very subtle film with stunning visuals. Understated.

[svidler1987]

where can i download the song?

[ficklefun]

I LOVE THIS SONG I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT EVERYWHERE

i first heard it from A Good Year

love itttt<3

[MoPar7055]

The earth isn't green, its blue

[bdicat]

A great friend and this song makes me miss him big time. I was in the fifth grade, 1965, at the ripe old age of 10, when a 20ish year old Harry a friend of my teachers came in and sang a freaking song.

[Catjoe12]

I'm so envious. Harry was the best!

[aspire0602]

Thank you, Blauraupe. Greetings from Koen.

[SpitfireDramaQueen]

What absolutely pricelessness, thank you so much for posting this, blauraupe :-)

[derricklob45]

a nice relaxing songs

[krymer415]

Does anyone know where to get sheet music for this song?

[YoungSpaniard]

I love this song!

[bdicat]

On the album "Duit on Mom Dai" it evolved into "Good for God." This one was better but love everything he did. Sleep tight old friend.

[MYSOUNDTRACK83]

Great song from the great movie "a good year"
