It's probably a cover: "Without You"


Any fan of The Rules of Attraction the 2002 film about getting to know your self while being young adult surrounded by other soul searchers. The movie is brilliant and does not leave any part of college life to the imagination.

While in high school my friend Jess did a project on the film in particular the scene with the invisible girl killing herself in the dorm handicap bathroom. I remember watching this scene over and over again discussing the project, but really what sticks in your head after that haunting scene is the song playing in the background.

"Without you" originally written by the inspiring Badfinger was not given much attention until Harry Nilsson ( my current obsession) recorded it. With the scene featuring the Nilsson's version makes the girl in the scene an instant protagonist of the film. I feel it is in large part because of the raw emotion of the simple song if you look at the lyrics.

In conclusion I must say I enjoy the Nilsson cover version more then the original, but don't just take my word for it.
