Nilsson, Harry - I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City Lyrics

I'm here because I love Harry Nilsson! I've never seen the movie. (I thought I would throw in a wrench) 😀

Sounds like he’s ripping off that guy who sings that old song “echos of my mind”.

.... You might be thinking of the song "Everybody's Talkin" that has that line "echos of my mind". Harry Nilsson sang that song too. That is why the songs sound familiar.

Carla DiCiaccio yup 👍

Mumford and sons is that you?

Inspiration amirite?

Who played banjo? Herb Pedersen?

This song been on my mind all day...Harry's been gone 25 odd years, but humming his songs...

He did, but then He moved to Florida.

Everybody's talkin'...

I love this song, it never gets old!

The scene just wouldn’t be the same.

One of the most beautiful God given voices ever

YGM. Miss you

My favourite song by him

good song

My older brother Ron loved singing to this song and countless other songs! My brother had a voice! Gonna miss my brother...

R.I.P. Nilsson (1941-1994).

24 people got mugged and sodomized in NY city

This song was submitted by Harry when John Schlesinger asked him to submit a song for Midnight Cowboy. Dylan's submission: Lay Lady Lay. They ended up using the working track Everybody's Talkin' instead. Oh well...both Harry and Bob had hits with their songs anyhow.

La canción que define el espíritu de una ciudad de la cual el que vive está profundamente enamorado y no puede salir de su alma. La mejor canción de 1969 y la mejor de Harry Nilsson junto con Everybody´s Talkin´. Greetings from Murcia, Spain

21 people must have gotten mugged in the City....

masterwork

Thank you)🌷💗

That vocal modulation is nuts

I likes it better than "Everybody'd Talkin'" and fit perfectly with the movie.

Captures my sentiments exactly😊

One of the Very Best music composers of all time. RIP Harry.

to be in highschool ,again late 60s ,early 70s,greatest most inventive clever music lyrics ever!

i just watched u got mail for about the 20th time that's what brought me here

My wife and mother were talking about it... that’s why we’re here too lol

My fav rom com as well

Hey me too .😁👍💙

I am here because I love Harry Nilsson! I've never seen the movie. (I thought I would throw in a wrench) 😄 Maybe I'll watch it!

Such an underrated movie. Perfect romantic comedy.

🎼amazing song🎼

Makes you just want to pack a bag and head for the big apple

To be a male prostitute like Joe Buck in Midnight Cowboy?

HARRY, WE LOVE YOU. S2

Oh my gosh, all these years I thought the lyrics were detroit city. Major woops on that one.

Lol...it must be great to be in Detroit city 😄😃🤣😂

It's a pity this track was rejected for the movie Midnight Cowboy.

Yes but for the benefit of Everybody's Talking !

I thought it was in the film!

totally agree Michael. Tailor-made to perfection, and far more fitting. Plus Harry wrote it! But as anyone who knows anything about Harry`s life, just par for the course:)

Michael Clentworth ... I think both this song and "Everybody's Talkin" would have fit for the opening theme of the film.

Beautiful

Three dislikes! They must dislike music in general.

Pretty much!

Twits have ulterior motives

This was the first song played on WJRZ after the Mets won the World Series in 1969.

Tom Dockery lol I’m not going to ask how you know that but alright

@MemeyLoaf It's because he was there or he has an understanding of history.

always makes me cry....

Fantastic song

Beautiful

A musical genius. RIP, Harry.

Beautiful

With material like this, it's no wonder that John Lennon admired Harry Nilsson's work - and probably why they became great buddies and drinking partners.

Hollywod Vampires forever.

amazing tune
