Harry Nilsson - Are You Sleeping? (Audio)

[@daniel.holbrook]

this whole album is like a comfort album for me, whenever i'm in a funk it just makes me feel a little better. it's one of those things i wish more people knew about

[@aimeeamigone2717]

Me tooo!!!! Just loved his stuff when I was a kid. Just spoke to me. Melodious and solace bringing thru turbulent childhood times

[@RichardMaxwell-hc8eg]

Amen.

[@RieleyLahre]

Have you watched the movie

[@RichardMaxwell-hc8eg]

@@RieleyLahre absolutely I watched it when it first came out sometime in the early 70s

OBLIO remains my favorite hero, forever. I really miss my childhood. Nothing is more wonderful than being a child. From this wonderful song by Harry Nilsson, all the innocence, sincerity, joy, and love from the children's eyes pours out. Thank you Harry Nilsson wherever you are!

The very underrated Mr Nilsson and this great film The Point. I first saw it when I was 14. It just appeared from nowhere on BBC 2. My brother and I have loved it since then.

[@dionmcgee5610]

When it first came out on TV I was too young to remember much, except I was a.Beatles music lover by 5 or 6, possibly before even then. Nilsson, who quickly became good friends with the lads from Liverpool, created the Point for TV, and it was a yearly TV special as I was growing up. So alongside the Beatles (and also early Rolling Stones, CSN & Y, Don McClean's American Pie and it's enigmatic album cover, Moody Blues and soon Pink Floyd) the music from the Point was something my sister and I waited for every year. Never missed it as long as they played it. Eventually the annual special broadcast ended and the Great Draught occured. But somewhere my mother bought a copy of the Point on vinyl, color booklet included, with Harry's pal Ringo narrating the story. So the music wasn't lost to me in childhood. I held onto the vinyl version for decades until storage and a flood ended my first record collection. Goodbye every original Beatles album, Floyd etc. . Never found the Point on cassette, almost forgot it existed until well into the CD era. Aprox 500 CDs before I stumble across a CD of the Point at Tower records. Not the iconic Tower building in LA, but it's neighbor in Orange County. What a strange trip it's been.

[@s.o.4956]

I found this record at a shop in my town & I can’t get enough of it now

[@longron43]

Same. Best 25 cents I’ve ever spent 🤣

[@springing]

Fantastic album, flow

[@mcbillygoat]

No joke, Harry Nilsson could have been an addition to the Beatles. His attention to original melody is as close to an American Paul McCartney. It is incredible how Harry and the Beatles admired and supported each other.

[@emmeehan8680]

fun fact Harry Nilsson was several members of the Beatles favorite American musician.

[@jameslacey460]

Let's be very glad he was NOT one of the Beatles. His music was not only as good as anything McCartney and Lennon ever penned, he had voice many times better. He may not have been as prolific a writer, but then he was writing all of it himself -- LYRICS AND MUSIC -- and often doing most if not all the background voices and just as often playing one (if not all 7) of the backing instruments. I take NOTHING away from the Beatles, absolutely nothing. But I don't put Nilsson on an even par with them, either -- I say he's the next higher notch above them. That good? Oh yes, absolutely.

[@Suddenlyits1960]

His music is very similar to the Beatles writing

[@sepia2008]

When I was a kid, my father used to play this while driving, travelling around Europe with my brother, so great tunes and nostalgia moments

[@juliafigliottiriley3953]

This song - and this movie - have always stuck with me. Thanks very much for this entire experience, Harry Nilsson.

[@kanekiken5413]

My grandma raised me on this movie and soundtrack, still a favorite.

[@eactor3]

The absolutely best set of songs for keeping a young child soothed and settled. What a great story too when they are old enough to understand it!

[@franksteinman8064]

I really was a big FAN of Harry Nilsson, I sure miss his talent & attitudes.

[@alan1james]

The Sixth Beatle probably... Such a genius!

[@alan1james]

@Ian Salyer For me, the fifht is clearly George Martin, their incredible producer.

[@collinf4228]

@Ian Salyer depends who you ask. A lot of people like to say Brian Epstein or George Martin because of the business end. Others stick to the music and say some of their original members like Pete Best or Stuart Sutcliffe. There’s also Ringo’s temporary fill-in Jimmy Nicol. Then there’s the ones that had much more contributions like Eric Clapton and Billy Preston. In fact, Billy Preston is the only one not named Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, or Starr to be credited and have his name on a Beatles album for a song.

[@kelechi_77]

He was more like Brian Wilson than the Beatles

[@jameslacey460]

Oh no, NOT the 6th Beatle. At least as good as, arguably BETTER than the Beatles.

[@contentbot2.9]

My favorite song off the album

[@xfightclub44x]

Mine too.

[@-ZED1]

I'm here after Joseph Gordon-Levitt said he wants this song to be played at his funeral

Me, too-Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an incredible human being.

Harry Nilsson has always been my favorite. Now I share them with my partner Michel Tessier ♥️

[@lonniemorrison2987]

Oh, what a time.

[@summerbunbury3391]

🎶Such bittersweet nostalgia🎶

[@flyingo]

I memorized every lyric of every song on this album in early 1971, right after it’s release in December of ‘70. The song “Think About Your Troubles”, along with Cat Stevens’ “Trouble”, and a few others, has been my “therapy” for 50+ years now. It puts everything firmly into perspective. In my opinion, of course.

[@moomoopoopoo2696]

I grew up with this movie, I've loved it ever since I was a really young kid. This song gives me so much comfort, it's like a hug after a rough day. Thank you.

[@cjlowe1637]

One of the best ever

[@Beargirl1359]

When I was little I loved this song and the movie, it was so sweet

[@HIPCHIP]

I remember watching this on TV and then getting the album for Christmas. Early 1970's.

[@tinfoilhatter]

excellent, dude: sounds much better than when we saw it on tv, that time when we were like six years old, me'n'my little brother...well he was more like four, haha... but we remember it like it was only fifty-some-years-ago, ha ha... hey... are y'there, man? [mom and dad bought the record, some time not long after that, and it's been an all-time-favorite ever since, speakin' for ourselves: thanks for that]~

As a child I used to watch the film the point, it was such an artistic movie . This is my childhood song❤

This "Great" song can be played in the key of “F#” on your “EastTop Harmonica” ... Go ahead and play along. Eli: "King of Rock & Roll Harmonica".

Are you sleeping? Can you hear me? Do you know if I am by your side? Does it matter if you hear me?

[@troopsome6254]

I first time heard a Harry Nilson song in The Simpsons, it was "My ans My Arrow". Then I unknowingly listened to "One" from the LEGO Batman movie OST. Only recently I decided to look up hos other songs and this one's already grown on me.

[@mattMcLovinisbae]

the movie was just a music video for the songs basicaly
