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 wonder where the train has been?

One of the #Exeter haul. I am not ashamed to say I only came across this because of Russian Doll a few years back, but I’ve ‘enjoyed’ finding out about Nilsson, his fairly tragic story and his music. It’s a great album.

"One" is a song by American singer-songwriter #HarryNilsson from his 1968 album #AerialBallet. It is known for its #openingLine "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do". Nilsson wrote the song after calling someone and getting a #busySignal. He stayed on the line listening to the "beep, beep, beep, beep..." tone, writing the song. The busy signal became the opening notes. A better-known #coverVersion, recorded by #ThreeDogNight.

Cuando metemos la pata en nuestra vida es bueno tener un amigo que te apoye y te anime. Que te saque por ahí el fin de semana, si hace falta.
El problema es cuando el amigo es Harry Nilsson.
Hoy, por fin, en #LaHistorietaMusical, el fin de semana perdido de John Lennon.
