Everybody's Talkin'
"Everybody's Talkin'" is a folk rock song written and originally released by Fred Neil in 1966. A version of the song performed by Harry Nilsson became a global success in 1969, reaching #2 and #6 on the ''Billboard'' Adult Contemporary chart and Pop Singles chart respectively, and winning a Grammy after it was featured on the soundtrack of the film ''Midnight Cowboy''. The song, which describes the singer's desire to retreat from other people to the ocean, is among the most famous works of both artists, and has been covered by many other notable performers. The song later appeared in the 1994 film ''Forrest Gump'' and is also on the film's soundtrack album. It also appeared in the comedy film ''Borat'' and on ''The Hangover Part III'' soundtrack.
==Background==
The song was first released on Neil's second album, 1966's self-titled ''Fred Neil''. It was composed towards the end of the session, after Neil had become anxious to wrap the album so he could return to his home in Miami, Florida.〔 Manager Herb Cohen promised that if Neil wrote and recorded a final track, he could go. "Everybody's Talkin, recorded in one take, was the result.
Toby Creswell of ''1001 Songs'' noted that the song had parallels to Neil's later life—like the hero of ''Midnight Cowboy'', he looked "for fame to match his talents, discover() that success in his profession isn't all its cracked up to be" and wanted to retreat. Five years later, Neil permanently fulfilled the promise of the speaker in the song, rejecting fame to live the rest of his life in relative obscurity "where the sun keeps shining / Thru' the pouring rain" in his home in Coconut Grove.〔Neil, Fred. "Everybody's Talkin'".〕〔
