Harry Nilsson - One Lyrics






One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know

It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest number, much, much worse than two
One is the number divided by two
One
One is the loneliest number

    One of the best voices ever

  2. S.... W....

    I love this SO much!!!!

  3. D.... M....

    Underrated song since 1969

  4. O.... B....

    Thoughts of the hundreds dead due to our artillery barrages brought me here.

  5. S.... M....

    The Batman Lego♥️

  6. D.... M....

    Lego batman brought me here but thanks to him I discovered a good song

  7. L.... A....

    Play at 0.75 makes it sadder

  8. Z.... ....

    But I am the loneliest person, does that mean we have something in common

  9. C.... B....

    1969 brought me here.

  10. A.... U....

    2009: this is a good song

    3009: wow, this is still a good song

    X009: eh, English probably doesn't exist anymore

    A.... U....

    Bold of you to assume for humanity to live that long.

    A.... U....

    Crest Raizn bold of to assume that I assumed that.

  11. A.... C....

    i was never allowed back at kyles house again, but i've got my own juul, who's laughing now mom

    A.... C....

    … *yes...*

  12. K.... ....

    This song showed up in my recommendations right after I was dumped...

  13. T.... L....

    X-FILES...

  14. T.... T....

    The Lego Batman movie was a great movie for all ages. I'm not saying this like some Facebook mom with toddler kids. I'm an 18 yr old who legitimately thought it was a great movie with great values. The scene where they play this song hit me right in the feels as I felt empathy for Batman and what the scene portrayed.

  15. J.... A....

    John Farnham did a better job...

  16. E.... P....

    Lego Batman brought me here too

  17. Y.... M....

    Love Aimee Mann’s version of this song, but Harry’s version is still magic.

  18. M.... A....

    Pinneaple production

  19. d.... 2....

    fresh prince of bel-air szn 1 brought me here

  20. R.... B....

    never ever heard this version before and im almost 67

  21. C.... T....

    Although my favorite version is the one made famous by Three Dog Night and the only other song I've ever heard by Harry Nilsson is Without You, he does a really interesting version of his original.👍

  22. j.... ....

    Pineapple production.

  23. j.... p....

    5 etoiles''' '

  24. C.... W....

    Amazing !!!!!!

  25. W.... O....

    Nilson wrote it, and recorded it first. But Three Dog Night had the better version. Harry's version is so cold, it sounds like a polished-up demo. Meanwhile, he set Badfinger's lifeless 'Without You' aflame; go figure!

  26. u.... b....

    incredible.

  27. M.... W....

    ERFM Brought me here.

  28. B.... P....

    When everyone thinks this was the original.

    B.... P....

    Who you think did the original?

    B.... P....

    Patrick Higgins Three dog night

    B.... P....

    Patrick Higgins Harry Nilsson wrote the original version for the band which went out in 1969, he came out with a publicity rendition after the fact. He wrote it but this version and this recording is not the original.

    B.... P....

    @Burnt Percentage The original version is on Harry Nilsson's album Aerial Ballet, released in 1968. It came out before Three Dog Night's version.

  29. S.... D....

    What’s this version ? Not like my original !

  30. D.... L....

    ONE of the most underrated artist´s ever

  31. C.... S....

    This reminds me of my brother cause he went to Pennsylvania to be with his dad for this school year and I miss him he sent I to me and I love the sound of the tune

  32. E.... A....

  42. M.... ....

    Three Dog Night brought me here...

  43. B.... C....

    "Sorry Angel" sent me here.

  44. j.... h....

    Damn. I did not realize this was his song. BTW, the audio quality on this post is the best I've heard via youtube...

  45. g.... s....

    i do like Three Dog Night's version better.

  46. K.... C....

    The Beatles loved Nilsson’s music.

  47. m.... ....

    IDK why but everytime I hear him sing "one is a number divided by two" I cringe real bad XD

  48. D.... M....

    Best version I ever heard of this song superb sound

  49. A.... 4....

    Rest In Peace Harry Nilsson ! Bless you ! A legend was with us.

  50. j.... ....

    such a short song what an asshole i dont want it to end

  51. M.... W....

  56. D.... D....

    Grenzgaenger

  57. r.... m....

    Filter 's "one" brought me here

  58. s.... ....

    Perfect.

  60. N.... S....

    Recess.
    God i miss those days....

  61. h.... k....

    I’m here because of my memories of recess Schools out . First hear that song in 2001. Seems unbelievably far away now.

  62. R.... F....

    nobody came here from the scp radio that when you have no romantic relationships it plays this song? ok.

  63. j.... l....

    This is where lennon got his sound from.

  64. Z.... S....

    umberlla acedemy ?

  65. S.... B....

    Why the dislikes?

  66. C.... H....

    Such a wistful, gentle, sad little song. I think I prefer John Farnham's more powerfully emotive remdition, but maybe it's because I heard that version first.

  67. R.... M....

    Ich hatte schon immer einen Narren an Harry Nielsson und seine Musik gefressen! Und das lässigste Kleidungsstück ist ja immer noch ein Bademantel; auch am Nachmittag tragbar!

  68. L.... C....

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  69. L.... I....

    dude looks like he's having a hard time shitting

  70. C.... 2....

    ラッツ&スターの「ストレイボーイ」はハリーニルソンの「one」を丸パクリです。

  71. L.... O....

    Big big tune

  72. H.... D....

    Why did I always think this was Beatles song

    H.... D....

    Because Harry was like the fifth Beatle.

  73. c.... L....

    Polygamy

  74. D.... S....

    Repeat,repeat,Repeat ,Repeat ,Repeat ,reeeaaapeat

  75. r.... f....

    In all of my 65 years on this planet, I never knew Harry wrote this song

  76. V.... L....

    Looks like trump taking a huge dumb

  77. j.... r....

    listen to Johnny Farnham version from Australia.

  78. 7.... ....

    This is a fantastic song. Supposedly he wrote it because he'd called a girl and got a busy signal (if you remember those). So the opening organ notes were based upon that, and the loneliness of it.

  79. M.... K....

    *'One' of the best songs ever written! Such perfection...*

  80. n.... j....

    pay your respects f

  81. F.... Z....

    Thank you simpsons for introducing me to this great music... It's kinda depressing but still beatiful

  82. J.... B....

    Stunning!

  83. b.... ....

    Nilsson should have been so much bigger, but it just never really happened. He ended up being a poor man's Harry Nilsson.

  84. E.... S....

    The Beatles were asked who was their favorite singer and they said Harry Nilsson and John went on to do some songs whit Harry. His voice having almost two tones and his control made him one of the best singers in the past 500 years.

  85. D.... K....

    Umbrella academy

  86. m.... ....

    On of my Boot Camp songs the Three Dog Night version.

  87. z.... j....

    umbrella academy brought me here

  88. K.... D....

    "Happy" Valentine's Day

  89. J.... J....

    i love this song

  90. e.... ....

    I love that you can actually hear the bass in this version. I never realised what a great bassline it has!

  91. H.... ....

    Oh man, the more I listen the more I realise I grew up with this guy’s music but I didn’t it was him. Brilliant.

  92. S.... D....

    John Lennon's mate.

  93. T.... N....

    Shanghai Knights brought me hear

  94. T.... C....

    No more crime! No more crime! No more crime!

  95. K.... D....

    Man what a voice. What ever happened to Harry? Seems like he made a few albums and vanished.

    K.... D....

    As I recall, Nilsson died of heart failure on Jan. 15, 1994 in his Agoura Hills, Calif. home, at age 52.

  96. J.... D....

    Magnolia

  97. M.... ....

    Such a great vocalist...
