Everybody's Talkin' . Midnight Cowboy

Harry Nilsson .
Jon Voight Midnight Cowboy
Everybody's Talkin'




How many thousands of times has this song repeated it in my head? walking during my life to some place following my feet as in this wonderful movie

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
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
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East wind
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the North East wind
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 sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind

I won't you leave my love behind
No I won't you leave..

I won't you leave my love behind
No I won't you leave

I would say that "Midnight Cowboy" was ahead of it's time. Unfortunately, the quality of movies has declined so precipitiously over the last forty years that MC is just plain superior to the intellectually devoid films of today.

My wife brought me The Midnight Cowboy on DVD because I love it. If you have not seen it you are missing out! It explores the human condition beautifully and touches you.

@chelonia1663 watch the film- its a classic

Funny thing, the film was shown as part of a school film club organised by the boys themselves. Though it was a x rated movie (+18) not one of the 70 boys watching was over 16. Don’t think you would get away with that now.

Yep, this song says it all. To be played @ my funeral!

The first time I saw this film and herd for the first time this wonderful piece of music was in 1972 at the age of 12. It was early in my first term at boding school feeling rather depressed with homesickness. The melancholy nature of the film and music reflected my mood perfectly. I have just herd it for the first time for many years and found myself tearing up as memory’s flooding back. Very good film though.

@georgebettinger

Honestly? Way too cool!!! Too bad they didn't make more than one as usually do for movies. Did you know that Midnight Cowboy was the ONLY "X" rated movie to win an Oscar for best movie? Pretty mild by todays standards if you see some of the RAP videos out there! I don't know why TCM won't show this CLASSIC movie. It may have been "X" rated @ one time, but come on, not by todays standards by any means! Anyone agree w/me?

If the original Fred Neil version had been used it would have overwhelmed the scene.
