If you take away the music, it reads like a Robert Frost poem; it's just one sentence long. Also, this must have been how Einstein felt as he gazed at the same sky as everyone else, but "thought he saw what was happening"
LadyMyrddin as you say. Heart and soul. Words are almost pointless when listening to this. And that little mellotron bit at the fade... Well I hope that's how I fade..
One of my eternal favorites since the early '70s. In fact I believe it was 1971 which makes it about 40 years I've loved the sound.
And always I have to smile and chuckle at the "...on the fence with bits of CRAP around it's bottom..." - Such a smooth, mellow, deeply serious sounding song, then, and truly out of humorous irony I'm sure, he adds that line!
What a cool fellow was Nilsson. Looking forward to hanging out soon...
...and they eyes of those who think this all happened?
Very nice image selection to this CLASSIC Nilsson tune. This is one of my very favorite Nilsson compositions (but I have many, many fave Nilsson tunes).Attention Nilsson fans: the movie, Who Is Harry Nilsson (and why is everybody talking about him) honors Harry - the DVD will be out in another month or so.
Thanks so much musicluver1958 for such beauiful imagery of my favorite Nilsson song. What a gift he had to not only see beyond the usual and mundane but he drew us in to his world of wonder and made us wonderful too. His songs were never just sung, they were filled with emotion that hit hard - filled my eyes with tears, or filled my heart with joy - nothing was ever in between with Harry. We miss you like crazy Harry, and all you would have imagined for us.
A cd I happened to listen to last week contained this song and as I listened to it my mind replayed your video... that's how good a job you did with this vid.
I loved this video, super job..beautiful pictures and song. I love the pic of the cat in the window!! Well done musicluver1958. I was quiet shocked to learn Mr. Nilsson is no longer with us. RIP
:) I never tire of this beautiful song...great video to go with it, too!
Thanks for the share, my Friend xo

I like your graphics in this. You "illuminated" the song nicely. My favorite Nilsson song! He was a genius, to be sure!
