  • This song was a hit for Harry Nilsson in 1968 and was popularized by being part of the soundtrack in the movie Midnight Cowboy. Written by Fred Neil... it's been a long-time favorite of mine.

    After 25 years of marriage, one day my wife said "whatever we had, it's not there anymore" and left. The loss and being alone was hard to accept. When I looked in the mirror, there was no one looking back. And the lyrics of "Everybody's talking at me but I can't hear a word they're sayin' " was my life for a long while. When you see someone wandering the streets, they may be lost in the echoes of their mind.

    Beautifully sung with a polished voice and excellent guitar skill. Probably been playing forever. Gracefully aged like fine wine too. Keep em coming.

    Wow I really love this version. I love the guitar arrangement. It's almost a cross between the original and Harry Nilsson's version. I might like your guitar part then the one on Harry's.

    Absolutely amazing talent and sound, Mr. Watson! For the past few years I've been on this kick of having to learn to play and sing a song once it's stuck in my head; Everybody's Talking At Me is the most recent. This is by far the best rendition I've found on TH-cam. Great work.

    Hey Rick !! Today I accidentally found your channel !!! Your version of the theme from "Midnight Cowboy" by Harry Nillson sounds brilliant !!! I play it Now with you on one of my old beautiful guitars. This is the perfect German Framus Gaucho from 1969, so from the year of production of the movie .... Framus plays with the Schaller Western II pickup .... In a few days I will play your version with my old friends during the rehearsal of our acoustic band. Best regards, Jack - from the city of Gniezno- Poland.
