Chorus:
Have you ever watched a moonbeam
As it slid across your windowpane
Or struggled with a bit of rain
Or danced about the weather vane
Or sat along a moving train
And wondered where the train has been?

He soothed my 16 year old soul. Here at 64 I have the sweetest memories... thanks, Harry.

[@bernieritters7206]

Yes ❤🎸🎵🎵 Awesome!

[@mattlogsdon2962]

Yes! I'm 58 but I was introduced to Harry at a young age and I love Harry more as I age!!!❤

[@meggy0]

This song is absolute magic, making something so banal seem so beautiful. God, Nilsson is so under-appreciated. His music is absolutely beautiful.

[@floatthecreek]

John Lennon thought so. I agree that most people back then didn't think so.

[@michaelstrong1364]

I wish Nilsson was still here....

[@RU2AIM]

Those of us here are but a tiny part of this silly world, and we are they who feel more deeply than most others. This song is for the child inside who still lives and hopes for dreams to come true.

[@go-out-and-live1586]

Beautifully said.

2022… anyone listening? Nilsson was phenomenal ⭐️

[@desertlove1]

He has entertained me for 40 years

[@whitebirchtarot]

Absolutely!

[@xtc1957]

Many are NOT listening, but I have come to say to hell with them. WE have the memories and the beauty of the music of the 60s-70s... and ever shall. If they can't feel it, that's their problem--and their loss. This man's talent was far greater than any "TV contestant," and his voice and writing style were unsurpassed. If only music wasn't eventually clumped in with all the senseless drivel that constitutes modern-day culture (or lack thereof) and not fallen prey to one-dimensional thinking and a blatant, almost intentional disregard for heart and soul. Just the same, we still feel it, and it feels good. Really good.

Yep ❤️ ☺️

[@user-ym3if8hl5e]

Millennial here. Just letting y'all know this music is still appreciated...Even though this track is suspiciously similar to "Think About Your Troubles" from The Point LOL.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

I bought this album when it first released. For some strange reason, if ever I feel stressed this song instantly calms me down. I still have my original vinyl and I’m 66 now. Thank Harry, this has been my calm me down me song for many decades now lol. Must play all the other songs from this album here that I still remember and love ❤️

[@MartTLS]

I have original vinyl too . Great album .

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

I am 64 now..and this is one of those albums. I have worn thru several copies and bought others only to give them away to people who didnt understand... until they had the chance to listen... We lost so much when Harry passed.. in many ways the opposite yet the same person, Harry Chapin... Harry hated to perform, but Chapin loved it.. Chapin was very New York and Nilsson was seemingly California.. Both incredible songwriters/storytellers..

[@lockedin60]

Harry could write the rocker but he was comfortable enough in his skin to write a cloud riser too. He had all the talent and had some powerful in-his-corner-people.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

@@lockedin60 you are absolutely correct. Beautiful every day lyrics of the lovely simple things in life.

[@georgegherkin3426]

There's a reason why the Beatles were friends with him. His musical genius, and quite the character.

[@BMG19FUNNYDIE]

Good lord what a voice. Perfect. Understated.

[@youbetcha108]

Amazing. I was watching reruns of The Ghost and Mrs. muir and saw him and thought this guy must be famous. Waited for the credits, looked him up. Boy was he famous! Talented untrained self taught poor not in rock and roll hof? Why not? I was a small child in the late sixties I know his music. Didn’t know who did them.

[@mikebarooshian7255]

@@youbetcha108 I never heard of him before but he sure can sing he has an amazing singing voice

[@toddmiller726]

My favorite part of this is the Klaus Voorman's bass playing. As a bass player myself, I don't even know how someone would go about thinking this kind of thing up. Simple melodic and completely unique.

[@javadude54]

That's Herbie Flowers on bass. I confirmed it on the album's Wikipedia page.

[@daviddragavon7555]

Klaus! He was (before the internet) a person that I would look for in the notes on the album cover when deciding on risking my money on a new artist to listen to. I may have known nothing else about the guy..just that he was smart enough to hire Mr Voorman. Others, too! Like the Tower of Power horn section or Bonnie Bramlett on background vocals. They all rarely let me down, if ever!

[@hannahbackward]

@@daviddragavon7555I have God himself on a recorded line confirming no one by the name Klaus Voorman has ever existed! Do you even know who writes Wikipedia? Let me help you out. It’s one of TickTock’s 100 most trusted sources for news. And, FYI, the Moonbeam is a fact! And was written by Elvis Presley.

Wow. My ears just got back from a 3 minute and 24 second vacation. Fantastic.

[@l_Live_In_Oregon]

have a sleep disorder that gets me up at odd hours. Today is one of those days. I was thinking of growing up as a youth in the Northwest and discovering music. One of the most influential albums was Harry Nilsson - The Moonbeam Song. Every radio station was playing Without You. My older brother and his friends were jamming to Jump into the Fire or the Coconut song. But me as a shy 12 year old loved The Moonbeam Song. Great lyrics make a great song

[@Bluesharp1896]

I wake up in the middle of the night lately and this song is an earworm that won't let me fall back asleep! The lyrics are so full of slyly evocative imagery, but I love it despite the occasional insomnia.

[@jptt98a]

Harvest Moon by Neil Young fits the bill, as well.

[@annettemyers628]

I love this man, he's brilliant. ❤

[@mark1952able]

1971 One of the best yrs.for great music! Harry was the man!

[@kennyoconnor6564]

A perfect song. Gorgeous timeless spiritual experience.

[@thetwilightraven]

sublime beauty

[@hilaryepstein6013]

I only really knew Harry Nilsson from Everybody's Talking and I Can't Live if Living is Without You so I've only recently discovered this song (along with the rest of his music). It's heartbreaking that the person who could write something so beautiful died so young.

[@kingcollette]

The words to this song are absolutely delightful!

His older music was stunning, just amazing. And even on "Nilsson Sings Newman," his voice is unmatched!

To me this is his penultimate album. Other then Me and My Arrow which does have its appeal...

This album was in the vinyl LP rotation when my brother and I raced HO scale slot cars in his basement bedroom when we were tweens. He's signing up for Social Security next month. I know these songs like it was yesterday. All of a sudden, I need to hear Black Sabbath's Paranoid album and some Grand funk too. I still have those cars and tracks at my house...might have to do a little racing this week!

The tireless freight train passed by my window light up by the moonbeam when I played this LP over and over in my youth. Yes I thought this song happened.

[@jerryabbadini8562]

There are many who think they can sing.......then there's Nilsson. Many, many examples to choose from in his illustrious career, but his pitch here is just a stunner. Not to mention the ethereal background vocals (all Harry). From '67 to '71 he was at the top of the male vocalist mountain and it wasn't close.

[@chriswood9219]

The most evocative lyric I've yet, in my life, to encounter: "Or on a fence with bits of crap Around its bottom Blown there by a wind beam" Instantly, I am transported to my youth in Denver - a brisk dusk obscuring a band of boys hopping, with playful abandon, from one neighbor's backyard to the next...

[@cindyjohnson1048]

[@susanrussell3001]

I'm for the first time really listening to harry Nilsson I grew up listening to his hits and.love them all. But for some reason I just never bought an album and now i'am and 40 years later I found harry. AGAIN.but this time I'm listening to his albums so here I'm in2020 thinking there's no good music anymore.well yes there is songs from way back when music was great except I'm listening to new music that's old so in a strange way I'm glad I didn't listen to harry then cause I'm enjoying him now for the first time.it pays to revisit music ,or artist you never really gave a chance before and if your.like me and think today's music (for the most part)sucks find something old and make it new again

When I was 11 and this album had just been released, I bought it and loved every tune on it. - I recall thinking, "What a funny 'Tongue-in-Cheek' guy!" when I heard him sing what I thought were the lyrics, "...who think *_this all_* happened" - when I've since read it was actually, "Who think *_they saw it_* happen" - but I'm still not sure...

Have you ever watched a moonbeam As it slid across your windowpane Or struggled with a bit of rain Or danced about the weather vane Or sat along a moving train And wondered where the train has been Or on a fence with bits of crap Around its bottom Blown there by a wind beam Who searches for the moonbeam Who was last seen Looking at the tracks Of the careless wind beam Or moving to the tracks Of the tireless freight train And lighting up the sides Of the weather vane And the bits of rain And the windowpane And the eyes of those Who think they saw what happened...
