Everybody's Talkin' - Harry Nilsson (1968)

If you were young in the sixties and not depressed or melancholy you certainly were that after reading 'Midnight Cowboy'. This song was used for the film of the book and has stayed with me as part of the sixties' tapestry. The guitar riff makes this song but Harry's voice was it's unique stamp. Bob Dylan's Lay Lady Lay was originally commissioned for the film but never used, and that's a bit of trivia. The theme for the movie, Midnight Cowboy Theme which was written by John Barry is even more haunting, if that's possible.
