Everybody’s Talking At Me performed by Harry Nilsson
Recommended by johnnyweissmueller [profile]

Being a writer and having been one all my life, having studied literature, having written numerous books ... I have to say that Harry Nilssons Everybodys Talking ... has perhaps the best lyrics I have ever come across in music. Musicians who get the music right often make a mess of the lyrics (music and text seem to be a different story) ... this is one of the rare - very rare - occasions, when all is right. All!

22 May 04 ·camus: Actually Fred Neil wrote Everbody's Talking, and Nielson covered it brilliantly in his own inimitable way.

The Lady in Red performed by Chris de Burgh 1986

The best song ever.

from Into the Light, available on CD (A&M)

10 Jun 04 ·eftimihn: A strong statement, which is debatable to say the least...

12 Jun 04 ·camus: Surely not, I just can't grasp what angle you're coming from, an obtuse one I believe, or is that a triangle, whatever, it's mathematically insane.

15 Oct 04 ·roberto: Hmmm, I thought "Burning Love" performed by Elvis Presley is the best song ever...

17 Oct 04 ·konsu: Personally, I could never make up my mind on that one. Which I somehow find comforting.

17 Oct 04 ·olli: actually, it's pretty cool if you pitch it down about 400% and adjust the speed back to normal. that makes him sound like a romantically inclined orc or something.

17 Mar 05 ·Ricard: Yes, listen to this version by V/VM at http://www.brainwashed.com/vvm/Mp3s/offal03_vvm_03_lady_in_red.mp3 It sounds just like Olli's description!!! "Romantically inclined orc"

17 Mar 05 ·eftimihn: This is funny sounding indeed, the whole song takes on a whole new quality with a very dark and disturbingly menacing feel. Could now also be called "The ogre in red"...
