Are you being obtuse on purpose, or is it simply ignorance on your part...?

Nilsson wrote that tune...

Not the saddest perhaps --- but I sure feel empty after listening...

The origin of this song is not what it first appears to be. It tells the story of a man who is dying. His wife is sitting by his bedside. She begins to doze off. The song tells of his thoughts at that moment . . .

Several years ago, my daughter and her best friend were listening to music in her bedroom, as usual. They were maybe sophmores in high school. I heard them in there and it sounded like the were laughing, they were so loud! Then they came out and i realized they'd been bawling their eyes out!!! They'd been listening to a song that got them so emotional and they said they just thought of me Her friend thought of me as her mom more than her own....I still couldn't help but laugh at them ... Lol. But this song is great...........

ROFL

Pete Ham wrote the song about his contemplation of suicide.

{"Without You" is a song written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of British rock group Badfinger, and first released on their 1970 album No Dice. The song has been recorded by over 180 artists,[1] and versions released as singles by Harry Nilsson (1971) and Mariah Carey (1994) became international best-sellers. Paul McCartney once described the ballad as "...the killer song of all time."[2]}

Without You (Badfinger song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ham and Evans both eventually committed suicide.

And the original, Badfinger rendition is vastly superior to the Nilsson cover.

BTW, Badfinger did the backing musical track for Nilsson.
