One of those songs that stays with you for life. I heard this song when I was 12 yrs old and it brought tears to my eyes even though I had a family & a good life.. Have never been able to forget it...
When I was 12 year old, I was pretty depressed even tho I had a good and wealthy family. If I were to listen to this back then, I would of listened to this song every day.
I love your honest heartfelt reaction. I was thinking as i watched , "its such a brutally honest emotional lyric" its hard not to tear up, and that's a brave emotional risk to take in front of almost 10,000 viewers,( im sure i couldn't do it!) So appreciate your openess and sensitivity. Take good care of yourself. Btw that song was a very big deal to my 9/10 year old self. I was a very shy awkward red haired kid with lots of freckles who went bright red when i was teased or felt clumsy or foolish. Somehow this song gave me comfort in my turmoil, and still to this day at 61 i can vividly relive the way it made feel ( obviously not as intense or bewildering as all those years ago) Music is a remarkable and beautiful thingthing Thanks 🙏
Because I a,m old and I know this song I was watching you carefully. I saw when you realized this was a very sad song. Also this song hit us as hard as it hit you. :) Great reaction
I have watched all the Alone again naturally reactions and I have to say that your reaction is the sweetest and best. When you first got emotional and try to cover your face, it melted my heart, and if fact, it made the tears start to flow for me. Thank you again for such an honest and sweet reaction to this powerfully heart wrenching song.
Great advice. Check on your friends and loved ones, they may be having a tough time. Lending an ear can be the best medicine in the worst of times. Ty! Love your reaction❤
I'm not sure... but after listening to the lyrics i think he was also stood up on his wedding day at the church in addition to all these people dying...i realy like this song even it's really sad, he also has a very nice voice
Great song and great reaction. Your reaction was on target. Very musically sensitive and very good advice for us to remember. I love your reaction. Here's to your next one! 🙏🙂❤️
Great song ..! You’re so right about God .. he didn’t do anything .. we all have a free will ..!! Don’t blame God..! Thank you for your thoughts on Gilbert O.. he has many really great songs and ballads ..!! God bless ..!!
Gilbert O'Sullivan in an interview, said this song was not about his life. It was just an idea that he came up with and wrote. "Alone Again (Naturally)" is an introspective ballad, starting with the singer contemplating suicide after being left at the altar after his bride deserted him, and then telling about the death of his parents. O'Sullivan has said that the song is not autobiographical, as he did not know his father (who died when O'Sullivan was 11) very well, and that his father had mistreated his mother. Also, his mother was still alive when the song was written.
Gilbert was and is one of the greatest songwriters and singer, we are proud of him in the UK ..listen to more of Gilberts songs, good songs never die ..2022 YUK
It was released in 1972...In total, the single spent six weeks, non-consecutively, at No. 1 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Billboard ranked it as the No. 2 song for 1972. In Casey Kasem's American Top 40 of the 1970s, "Alone Again (Naturally)" ranked as the fifth most-popular song of the decade (Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" was No. 1). "Alone Again (Naturally)" also spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Easy Listening chart. In total US sales for 1972, O'Sullivan's hit was topped only by Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". Both songs were nominated for a Grammy Award in the Song of the Year and Record of the Year categories in 1973, but Flack won both.
Thanks for reacting to this - it's actually the saddest song I know ... and I still LOVE it -because it's so beautiful.. if you like to cry at songs (as I do) - you might also like Don McLean's "Vincent" - about painter Vincent Van Gogh -- so beautifully sung, and sensitive... (I've heard that Roberta Flack wrote "Killing me Softly" after seeing Don perform...) th-cam.com/video/oxHnRfhDmrk/w-d-xo.html
I’m sure everyone alive carry a motive or a very sad moment in their life that will think to just avoid reality, I’ve experienced a divorce ten years ago & still cannot get it out of my mind; no towers around here, will it hurt? Perhaps drunken.
@@btricetv9987 Very, very sorry to have caused offence.😢Although you won't believe me, it was certainly not my intention to do so. However, I should have made some positive remarks, too; the fact that I failed to do so is very bad and there really is no excuse. "Fling Monkey" - below - made a much better and more balanced comment. (And I've noted your positive reaction to what he/she said.) I agree with "Jack 1839": your reaction was genuine and emotional - and that says something really positive about you. (I hope you won't take that as in any way patronising, but I've already messed-up, so I can't tell.) Perhaps you can find it in your heart to forgive me...? (I am a fellow-believer; God is as real me as He is to you.) I hope so - but, even if not, I genuinly wish you all the best. God bless you.
Fix your audio issues, please. What is astounding to me is the juxtaposition of a cheerful melody with lyrics from a severely depressed person. It kind of rips you apart. I have always loved this song, right from its original release. That is why I watched your reaction.

This actually happened to me,so I still cry 40 years later😢
If a song can make you tear up, then it’s a classic.
i loved this song, Gilbert O'Sulivan doesn't get enough credit in my opinion... great reaction! peace

If there was a contest this would be the saddest song ever written
Because I a,m old and I know this song I was watching you carefully. I saw when you realized this was a very sad song. Also this song hit us as hard as it hit you. :) Great reaction
A masterpiece. 50 years ago (1972) hit #1. Tears flowed 50 years ago & they're flowing now.

This song always reminds me of my departed parents.

Sometimes you have to thank God for unanswered prayers.
What a great but sad song makes me cry every time. I also love Claire that's another great song of his
I am glad that the song made you emotional. If it hadn't you would have had a heart of stone.

You're a lovely girl with a lovely smile :)
for the cry i love
Gilbert O'Sullivan did follow up this rather depressing song with the much more upbeat "Clair" -- about the innocents of a child.
