Topic: My take on "Everybody's Talkin'" (aka the Midnight Cowboy movie song)
My cover doesn't really follow the original or Nilsson's famous cover.
I've always liked the way Stephen Stills performed it on his Stills Live
album so I would say that perhaps mine is more inspired by his version.
Here's some Wikipedia info on the song:
"Everybody's Talkin'" is a folk rock song released by Fred Neil in 1966
that became a global success for Harry Nilsson in 1969, reaching #2 and #6
on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart and Pop Singles chart respectively
and winning a Grammy after it was featured on the soundtrack for the
film Midnight Cowboy. The song, which describes the speaker's desire to
retreat from other people to the ocean, is among the most famous works
of both artists. It has become a standard, covered by many notable artists.
