Heart did a pretty good cover of this song on "Magazine." This one is best, don't get me wrong, but Ann Wilson's vocals on the Heart cover are pretty solid as well.
@kierlan777 No. This song was written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger and released on the band's 1970 album No Dice. Harry Nilsson covered it in 1971.
Wenn ich zu der wundervollen Interpretation der Originalversion das furchtbare Gekreische der Mariah C. mir vorstelle, dann wird mir schlecht, was diese "Sängerin" aus diesen tollen Hit gemacht hat!!!
its not only about the people lost but it's about what led up to it like "When I think of all my sorrows" it's like being abused when you were a child, and then having the best person finally come into your life, help you and care for you, then leave you and die or just abandon like everyone else...
Ok, it's a good song-- I'll grant you that. But it is SO self-centered. The entire idea of 'not being able to live without someone' is bull. There are things in life that are more important than suffering.
I'm losing my parents to cancer, I've lost people I truly love, but I'm not going to dwell on the misery of it. Others have gone through so much worse. Life is full of beautiful things, and you have to be strong for yourself and the ones you love.
This is good...but it's not AS good as so many people were saying on other rendition. I mean, yes. It's impressive that a man can sing like a black woman...but even still.
Can you fade in the lyrics a little sooner. They're behind far enough to make it cumbersome. Thank you for your efforts. I really do appreciate what your doing here.
@bobbtav Nope. Sorry your wrong I have gone over the whole video they is nothing wrong with it. Please check again and make sure you can only hear the video.
@SouthParkRocks9 Maybe at that little bit which is a small mistake nothing to worry about but ht never said that bit did he lol He said the Start. But this video is one of the best on Youtube.
@DeadTake820 " well, I cant forget this evening or your face as you were leaving" you have "no, I cant forget this evening or your face as you were leaving" small change from the first verse its the start of the second verse youll see and hear it small error its cool still a great song
@bobbtav Well I went over that bit a few times but couldn't really be sure what he was saying their. If you think is no then thats your opinion on one word. One word not a fuck up still a gd video. You should see some of the other videos people have put up my videos are the best :)
I loved this song as a child - before I fully understood what it was all about - its timeless and definately touches the soul of those who have lost the one they love
Thank You so very much for posting this beautiful song....i haven't heard this melody in so long....and really make me cried..Thank You, thank You, thank You.
I didn't know that love hurts so much.Since i met you.I ache in every song,i have no appetite,my electric shocks all over my body come and go.And it's a few days only.But from the first moment i met you i knew it was you.You might like me back..you might not.Your too shy like me..You won't make it clear yet.But i wish i could tell you how i feel.I don't want to scare you though.It's so early i know.I wished upon a start that day.You know i saw the star falling.I'll hope. :)
Why do many entertainers have such short lives with tragic endings? Just wondering. It's such a shame and proves that fame and fortune can be a curse.
Wow - warra song! I've got powerful memories of this one; there was a blonde in a tartan mini skirt who everyone fancied. I was new in town and I pulled her on the dance floor of our youth club. I didn't know she was seein' someone, I got stuck in and ended up having a scrap with the lad she was seein'. Birds, eh?
Nilsson doing the definitive cover of a Badfinger song (he thought it was a Beatles' song at the time and when he found it was badfinger he decided to do the cover) with Gary Wright (of Spooky Tooth and "Dream Weaver") playing the piano on this version of Without You. Beatle Paul McCartney once described this ballad as "...the killer song of all time." And sadly, both authors of this great song later committed suicide.
@TheLoganLermanLuvr Do not go there my friend.I am not a big fan of silly sayings but one I don't mind is, "suicide is a permanent answer to a temporary problem".
I know from personal experience. It always gets better and the only remedy is time. One day you wake up and it doesn't hurt as much and life goes on.
@moondowg1 i never said i was for suicide, it was just a sad scene....okay? so seriously, im not emo or whatever ppl who cut themselves and do shit like that...im a hppy person, duh, i kno it gets better, i love my life, sure maybe i wish somethings cld be different but so what theres nothin i can do about it......and im certainly not going to kill myself over it, thank you very much :) so before you go and assume ppl are 'suicidal' maybe ask someone and you won't have to get bitched out,....
This song makes me think of the guy I have a crush on who is also a good friend of mine. Alan is still alive but he was sent somewhere where I can't see him as often as I like. Almost everyday from May to September when we didn't get to see each other, this song came on the radio. When I heard the first notes of the piano, I just thought of Alan and how I wish I could tell him my true feelings because it seemed so dreamlike that he would walk away without me saying anything.
This song always reminds me of the violent, tragic death of my husband in 1984.
The emotion the Nillson puts into this rendition is amazing and heart-breaking. I think anyone who has lost - for any reason - a loved one feels it with him.
But guess, what? I am still living and still giving. Given hard work, determination and a belief in yourself, anything can be overcome.
this song really touches a nerve,it was me & my girlfreinds favourite,we split up and went our own ways,sadly she died a few years ago,so i listen to this with mixed emotions,i never stopped loving her.
@TheFassiman That must be painful, i don't know how you can listen to this. Music is so powerful. Your story has made me appreciate this song even more, sorry for your loss and thanks for adding to mine and other's appreciation of beautiful music x
Harry didn't actually write this.. his friend did.. and Harry heard him singing it just before he commited suicide after his girlfriend walked out on him because he was 'spending more time on his music than with her'
It makes you think.. would he really neglect their relationship if he loved her enough to die when she left?
Beautiful song, Harry really captured the emotion. Heartbreakingly amazing
