    The verse about his mom and dad always got me but when my father passed in 2020 and my mother died 7 weeks later, I can hardly listen to this anymore, beautiful as it is 🎶🎵💚

    Gilbert once said: that the song is not about him. He merely put himself in the position of a person who felt this way. (It’s made up.)Now this is genius song writing. Bravo!!! Gilbert. One of my favorites. Thank you for your reaction on this one. 🔥🔥🔥✌️

    We put the word "naturally" before or after describing something negative to sarcastically indicate our bad luck or these bad circumstances are the _natural_ state of things. Great classic song.

    Naturally in this context means of course, it's something to be expected as in, "Naturally it rained as soon as I washed my car. I never have any luck.". In the song, he's expressing a feeling that he's alone and always will be.

    Howdy, Folks: We baby boomers have heard of Gilbert O'Sullivan. He had a few good hits songs but this one was the #1 song for 1972 on WABC New York, NY's radio station's top 100 of the year. Thank you for doing it. 'Naturally' means that, for him, things always go wrong and so it is no surprise that it has turned out that way.

    Since I was a child I've loved this song. It has always brought tears to my eyes with its rawness and sincerity. Being that we're all human I think songs like this tend to force us to reflect on our own lives and the loves and losses we've encountered throughout them. I always enjoy your reactions. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us.

    Such a beautiful and sad song that has always made me cry since the day it came out. 💔 Andre, I don't know how you made it through that whole song without a tear, because I know you felt it.

    This was my teenage breakup song. I was stuck at work, alone on the night shift, trying not to cry while this was playing on the radio. I was miserable, but I can laugh about it now. On the "naturally" part, the guy is just really beaten down. Sometimes when you're up against one thing after another, you feel like that's just how life rolls for me.

    He has a song called "Clair" which is just as happy as this one is sad. He had a number of hits in the early seventies in the UK.

    Beautiful song which we can all relate to in one way or another, he's basically saying that if it wasn't for bad luck in his life, then he wouldn't have any luck.
    Definitely penned by a master🍀👍

    I can see how profound the effect this song has moved your soul. This song resonated with many people when it was released. It stayed on the charts for a year.
    But O'Sullivan had more music to offer. Try these songs.
    OUT OF THE QUESTION,
    GET DOWN,
    and Ooo BABY are different and the last two you can dance to.
    It is the genius of the writer to involve the audience. Gilbert did his job quite well here.
    Keep going

    Childhood memories! He was one of my fathers favourites. This was one of the songs which "clung to me" along with "Nothing Rhymed; both beautiful melodies. My fathers music preference influenced mine: a combination of classical and jazz/blues brought me at first to some (melodic) hard rock and later symphonic rock.

    The best songs make us think; and sometimes they make us cry.
    The question is: "What do we do afterward? Do we change in some way? Do we finally take time to call the special people in our lives?"
    BTW... I always LOVE your reactions because you are kind/smart/honest/real. :)

    I remember when "Alone Again (Naturally)" was a big hit. "Gilbert" O'Sullivan is an Irish singer-songwriter who had some great songs in the 1970's such as "Clair", "Get Down", "Nothing Rhymed", "We Will" etc.

    I was in junior high when this hit the radio in complete form. The bubblegum melody brought me in, but the lyrics hid a dark story which crushed me. Young people are impressionable and I imagined his story, was mine. I was doomed at 11 years old. I was alone and it was my lot in life, naturally.
    His hit ruined many a child's optimism.

    Irish writers / musicians can make you smile, tap your toes, and weep… sometimes all at the same time.
    My personal takeaway: take as much joy as possible for the simple, beautiful moments in life.

    To say "naturally" simply means 'of course' meaning the situation is typical and not unexpected. I've always been alone so my fiancee leaving me at the alter wasn't too much of a surprise, naturally.

    I am disarmed by your honesty and transparency in letting this song impact you both. Life is certainly a series of joyful peaks and dark valleys interspersed with sometimes long plains of monotony. What strikes me most about the lyrics to this song is the charge that because our joy in this life is inevitably interrupted by hardship and tragedy, somehow God is culpable for allowing us to experience sorrow and loss. The fact is, this is a sometimes beautiful, but also a broken world where we will know the full gamut of emotions, naturally.

    Songs about loneliness, rejection and general sadness can be cathartic for many. It gives the listener the opportunity to see that they are not alone, everybody experiences life’s other side. It’s not all fun and games.

    An artist does his job if he can relay certain emotions. Gilbert decided to point out that sometimes we all feel all alone, its a part of life, just as joy is, love is, so is sadness. We have all felt these different emotions, it doesn't try to say its OK, its just life.

    "Naturally" , in this context means "as usual". He's trying to say that he always has bad luck and he always ends up alone.
    Yes, a pretty song with such sad lyrics. I suggest you never listen to "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks. 😂
