Lyrics :by Willie Nelson :


Everybody's talkin' 'bout me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes in my mind
Everybody stops to starin'
But I don't even see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the fallin' rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off the northeast wind
And sailin' on summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talkin' 'bout me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
Everybody stops to starin'
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leaveeee
My love behind

All the following is in the video :

“ Everybody's Talkin'" is a song written and recorded by singer-songwriter Fred Neil in 1966 and released by himself two years later. A version of the song performed by Harry Nilsson became a hit in 1969, reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and winning a Grammy Award after it was featured in 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, on The Hangover Part III soundtrack, in the English television show Black Books, the action comedy film Crank, and in the Only Fools and Horses episode "The Jolly Boys' Outing".

Since Nilsson's version of the song achieved chart success, the song has been covered by many other artists—almost 100 as of 2006. The more notable artists include Stevie Wonder, Iggy Pop, Willie Nelson, Neil Diamond, Liza Minnelli, Tony Bennett, Luna, Bill Withers, Madeleine Peyroux, Louis Armstrong, Leonard Nimoy, Julio Iglesias, Lena Horne, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, the Beautiful South, Glen Campbell, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Gregory Isaacs (under the title "Echoes"). Nilsson's version was sampled in 2002 by Paul Oakenfold on "Starry Eyed Surprise" and in 2004 by the Go! Team on "Everyone's a V.I.P. to Someone", Tedeschi Trucks Band and many more.
