Chorus:
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
#HarryNilsson #ManyRiversToCross #Oldies

A nice mixture of mind games and Number nine dream to Jimmy cliff. Brilliant!

[@tical523]

I do hear ‘mind games’ now. Ha

[@BoomItsZach]

wow. never noticed this before. spot on!

[@markp1549]

Number Nine Dream not Mind Games

[@TrueNorth10]

Lennon liked this so much that he borrowed elements of this for No. 9 Dream.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

@@TrueNorth10 - Lennon wrote the strings for this and so he simply reused his own work for #9 Dream.

[@radarrob1443]

Great song, underrated albulm. Unfortunately Harry’s voice was never a that same, thanks Johnny

[@primesspct2]

one of my all time favorite albums.... so adeptly switches tempos and styles.....goose bumps... and i admit it ;maybe a tear.

[@salamanca1954]

Don't be shy to shed a tear or more on these songs. They come from the heart!

[@jerrybiscay6987]

One would think with John in this it would have been more popular. Good job guys!

[@mazu7229]

this version hit no.1 on Tokyo FM pops best10 chart in Japan 1974😊

[@ronaldlabbe6466]

two of the greatest song writers, today's generation have no one like this,sad.

[@animaladvocate8938]

Wow. So much soul. What a blessed gift our precious Harry was. Forever loved. Forever grateful. Such expression to the human condition. Miss you Forever.

[@wildflower2793]

One must sing this from the depths of ones soul in homage to Jimmy and this passes with flying colors. Much Gratitude & Love

[@glennsmusicchannel]

This song's production and even some chords reminds me ever so slightly of John's #9 Dream.

[@RavenSelena]

I was just thinking the same thing!

[@JustinEdwords]

Its the slide guitar which im guessing is john?

[@paulkappa3654]

The strings are more or less the same!

[@benedictbowsley6449]

John wrote the string part for this, and reused it for #9 Dream

[@Patrick-fj4vz]

​@@JustinEdwordsJesse

[@BIackMoonCGI]

This chord sequence ends with G then C, John changed it slightly to end with D then G. Both beautiful.

[@Mr-Prasguerman]

One of my favorites of his, it's a shame that his voice was so finished at the time, you can really tell...

[@MegaFount]

They are such a natural match. No wonder they became such good friends. Their styles melded magically. So glad I stumbled on this album. I’ve heard some songs here and there, but it’s satisfying to hear the entire album from beginning to end.

[@bosseanderson228]

John in the back....klaus on bass..........im shivering.....

[@kevinobrien9626]

It almost sounds like John's voice.

[@ianwilson2007]

He sings back up.

[@davidwaldheim1147]

Very much!

[@brandonmoses1698]

Ringo is on the drums

[@captainu.s.a.7980]

Music man...

[@dafyddil]

A masterful cover... amazing that this channel should publish it today, as I was listening to it last night.

[@mojowalls8022]

This cover has been around awhile. Me personally I feel it's a bit better than the original.

[@JustinEdwords]

@@mojowalls8022its way heavier. I like that

[@francobiggi8488]

Hermosa version

[@nikolayvodynov3304]

Просто Вау!!!!!

[@rileyalt1251]

the predecessor to #9 Dream as John's described it.

[@ChaunceyGardener]

Lennon had his own version of Spector's Wall of Sound called: "Stoned" Wall of Sound.

[@darrenfrancis7146]

And later the ‘plastered’ wall of sound

[@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv]

@@darrenfrancis7146 why?

[@darrenfrancis7146]

@@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv because Lennon and Nilsson had a reputation for drinking a lot together? It was a joke

[@CARLWISE2008]

Together Harry and John ❤

[@bobgarner44]

As you realize what goes into it

[@christopherhall1742]

Didn't know this version until I watched Rectify (Season 4).

[@briananderson9885]

thanks for that scene is on youtube kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZvRaX2Oar6cfas

[@InvictusEternal]

Also coming from Rectify! Stopped to listen after this episode was over. Very glad I did.

[@donfeeney6153]

The zeitgeist for this record is still awesomely terrifying...

[@ericwalter4771]

Explain

[@animaladvocate8938]

????????

[@hardlines4]

John Lennon produced the string arrangements on this and also used it on his hit song #9 Dream

[@stewartwebb5699]

Great bass. Who is the bass player?

[@groomedtodie]

Klaus Voorman. He played on most of Nilsson's stuff, most of Lennon's and Harrison's solo stuff, and some of Ringo's albums. He also did the artwork for revolver. Real legend.

[@Withcare11]

I love this track. But isn't the album version a few seconds longer? You miss a crucial Lennon scream surely?

[@z2002marlene]

The scream is there at 4:39

Unfortunately I'm there

[@Boblobblaw88]

They took a break from their bender to record or did they do this drunk too?

[@justina7300]

Yes

[@rockah12]

Harry Nilsson sang through this song with a node on his throat, and literally sang through it, pretty much ruining his voice forever. So yeah probably drunk.

[@rockah12]

@Ian Salyer Jesus, that's horrifying...

[@rockah12]

​@Ian Salyer It's deeply upsetting that a man with as talented and beautiful a voice as Harry Nilsson basically destroyed his livelihood... From songs like Without You, You're Breaking My Heart, Jump Into The Fire, all of the songs on A Little Touch Of Schmillson In The Night to sounding like... That. Christ. His voice sounds like a fucking ghost of what it was before on Old Forgotten Soldier.

[@animaladvocate8938]
