My very first job was attending a sleepy gas station on the night shift. I was dumped by my high-school sweetheart just before work and had been sitting there for hours with no one to talk to, stunned and trying not to cry, when I heard this song on the radio for the first time. You never forget your first pity party, man, that was a long night.
@@CandleLight1974 True. It spills out perfectly without appearing to take any effort. I'm surprised he isn't more remembered today for this song. I feel it's mostly lost, though I found it enormously affecting when I first heard it as a boy.
@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 Gilbert OSullivan is very much still known for Alone Again Naturally and its still played on radio. Numerous cover versions in recent years have also appeared. It's not lost at all, in my opinion! If anything, Alone Again kinda overshadows his other classic hits!
This is SO much deeper than the pain of one single guy who has been through difficult times.... This song is about the universal existential condition of humankind. Every experience of life rebounds back to our own solitary reaction to it. (The man in the mirror.) Whatever we do, however we arrange our lives, we end-up back with ourselves. Alone again. And that is the NATURAL course of life. We are born. We live. We die. (Alone.) No matter who loves you. No matter whomever you love. You will eventually find yourself alone. Again. (Naturally.) This is very deep emotional stuff.
The writing--the construction of the lyric--is brilliant. I don't even know if I could remember verses that long with those complex rhyme schemes. Always love this song.
My dad passed away 27 years ago today.....when he sang the line about his dad died and how his mom cried I lost it.....it took me back to the day my dad passed then 12 years later when my mom died. I haven't heard this song for a very long time it kills me but I still love it
Gilbert O’Sullivan was one of the great story tellers. This was in the charts when I was little, and didn’t really take much notice of it, but as I grew older and lost people, it has taken on meaning and always makes me cry now.
The content and sadness in O'Sullivan's song has little if any bearing on him or his life up until he wrote the song, although his father did die when Raymond O'Sullivan was 11. Later in his music career he would change his name to 'Gilbert'. He was however, a great observer of life and saw the sadness in other people's experiences and lives, and so, he put his observations into poetry and this song. He is quoted as saying, " I never cried when my father died. I never really knew him. I regret that, and he would have been proud of me." His mother lived to over 80. As the title appropriately says “Alone again, naturally.” Even with the help of others, we all move through our own journey alone, naturally.
Though it is so sad, the height of his joy and the depth of his love come through. During the guitar solo how many of us play the lyrics we just heard in our minds all over again? Truly a masterpiece.
We met the lovely guy 4 weeks ago n hes still as brilliant he smashed it, n a real dream i had all my life came TRUE n then i sat there close to tears so emotional as i couldnt believe he was right there in front of me, he chatted ages warm n funny. Natural brilliant song writing. Loved it with him. N his freind played guitar was amazing too. Loved spending the night with him. Seen him tick tick tick n he allowed us to film him n now got it him always. Thanks hun gilbert ur still incredible. Told us wen he met the bee gees too n both sat open mouthed in love of each other n talent s. Bless him. Never forget this gilbert ever. Xxx.
Gilbert is such a creative brilliant songwriter with an unmistakable voice. Love his music. Alone Again ( Naturally) was a Huge #1 record. Spent 6 weeks at #1. 🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦
@@personalcheeses8073 yes, I did mean that. Unfortunately, my old fingers have trouble with the on screen keyboard on my phone. So why would "cancel culture" have any interest in canceling Clair?
Thank you for playing this! Gilbert O'Sullivan is definitely an unsung musical heroe. He's a poet, a brilliant composer and story-teller. He combines so many different styles of music, and is so capable. For instance the song We Will. Please check it out!
"Suggestion, another classic song written, directed and recorded,which was aired often on the U.S.A.radio(1972-1973),by Mr.O'Sullivan,was 'Clair',a popular songlyrics,dedicated to his nice:10-24-22'
"Sad"? Nah, that's just "being IRISH!"😌 (I jest; I'm Irish, as well.) Terrific point about the amalgamation of a "breezy" melody and devastating circumstances. ♡
Sullivan later told people that the story behind it was not his story. In my thinking, this makes it even more creative, since he hadn't experienced it himself.
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.
Hi, Harri: New York's WABC am radio station was IMO one of the biggest and best top 40 stations in the USA so I refer to them to tell of the success of a song. Alone Again Naturally was #1 in their top 100 of the year for 1972. Good reaction, Harri.
Janis Ian has a song called, "At Seventeen." That song just tears my heart out. When I was seventeen, I played it over and over with tears falling. That song sounded like it was written about me.😢
What I always found interesting is that everything Gilbert wrote about in this song wasn’t true. He said in an interview that both of his parents were still alive at the time he wrote it. He has this uncanny ability to put himself in other people’s shoes and write from their perspective, which is one of the reasons he’s one of my favorite singer songwriters.
This song always makes me teary, the part where he says his father died leaving his Mum wondering why he had been taken just takes me back to when my Dad passed away and Mum didn't know what to do or say. I am nearly 67 and I can still feel the sadness when I hear this song. Having said that, lyrically, this is a masterpiece....and despite the sad content, it is only right that more. (younger) people get to listen to it.
Is this video an overdub of the original? It sounds so much like it, except for the guitar solo, which seems new. But, the voicing sounds exactly like original.
Jeez Harri, I NEVER have to request a lot of these older songs because you either come across them yourself or your awesome community suggests them for me. This song found a place in my heart since it first came out, for some reason. The guitar solo is just icing 🎶🎵 brilliant
Such a Beautiful Melody; With such a sobering message of personal pain and heartache... What a combination to put together; the part about the mother having to grieve for her only love just breaks you down to think about it... I want to know the songs that were beating this on the charts....
I have watched several reactions to this song and you got it spot on ! The power of uplifting music combined with tragic lyrics is captivating, Gilbert is brilliant
I just wanted to say, I love this song because it meant a lot to my dad. It was his song he lost his dad at 13. Can you imagine. Well in this sadness I can connect with him in my mind & soul. Both my parents are gone & he was my rock. R.i.p. dad & mom.
Good Reaction. He had many hits including "Clair" about his Manager's 5-year-old Daughter who he played with and looked after in return for free boarding and meals from his Manager. His daughter, now 50, says that was some of the happiest times in her life and was made in the early 1970s in a totally different era where the phrase" I want to marry you Clair" was simply meant sweetly and innocently though some brainwashed younger people do not realize the innocence of it but you MUST listen with the accompanying video showing them playing together. It's heartwarming from a bygone era.
It is definitely sad but oh so beautiful. This is on my "singing songs" list. It's one that is fun to sing, even though it's so heavy. Besides, sometimes ppl need to hear that they aren't the only one feeling the way they are feeling at that moment. I'm sure that this song has helped a lot of ppl through the years. As strange as that might seem. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
There's a song by Andrew Gold called "Lonely Boy" that you may like. The message is sad but the music just grabs you. Great piano and guitar work. The video from The Midnight Special is a good one. Andrew also did "You've Got A Friend".
@@joelanderos23 You are correct, I had the wrong title.. gotta love gettin’ old, when your mind is thinking one thing but your fingers type something else..😂😉
Harri - you have to react to "You Make Me So Very Happy" by Blood Sweat and Tears! That will cheer you up!!! Keep up the great work on your channel!!! Cheers,
Gilbert said he was not confident in his singing so he filled his songs with words so people would focus on that and not his singing, but he has a great voice and singing style.
Its important to notice this is NOT the original 1972 studio version but a live version with a much brighter upbeat feel. The original studio recording remains unmatched in its sombre, stark, dry, haunting vocal delivery and even the instruments are superior.
The song isn't autobiographical. It's a story about life as experienced by some people. Some songwriters write characters, narrators, who aren't them. Writers like Randy Newman, give the voice of a character in a song. This is what Gilbert O'Sullivan has done in this song. To mistake it for autobiographical is like mistaking an actor for a part they play.
After I was released from the hospital, I went to recuperate at my daughter's for 6 months. Now I'm back home, living alone, 650 miles from the nearest relative. Sure, I understand alone again...naturally 😒
@@timothycook2917 I'm so sorry Tim. I have no relatives near me (not that I'm speaking to any of them) I have no friends either. Sending you love and hugs.
Such a beautiful and well crafted song. I think it reminds us that no matter what, in almost every instance, it is so great to be alive. It’s a lesson I learned 3 years ago and still appreciate. Your treatment of this song was very nice. And now, I see in the column beside this window you have taken on Gentle on my Mind. These two are both in my top 10 of all time greatest songs. Strictly personal preference but I thank you for doing them
May I say that you have ( of other reactors that I’ve heard) such a intelligent and artistic way of breaking down the song and artist that we’re listening to. I think I’ll be cutting some from the heard and listening to you much more.
You know what’s great about this song Harri,…Gilbert said in an interview that the song was not a real life thing,..he simply put himself in the position of someone who felt this way,…That’s genius writing.Truly….,Great reaction.Cry every time I hear it.Thanks again!!!!!!!
I've heard you say many times how much you love the 60's music and I believe you, but if you will forgive my saying so, you really seem to have a great affinity for the 70's Singer Songwriters.

Great review, Harri - especially at 4.45 am
If you want to look at happier Gilbert O'Sullivan songs you could try 'Claire' or 'Matrimony' or 'Get Down'

It’s 2022. Claire will be cancelled
@@personalcheeses8073 no it won't. If you think it's about peophilia, that's your problem.

Wow it's been in forever since I heard this
It is sad but it happens to lots of people! Great reaction

A bit happier. :)
He wrote the song for his little niece.
Very cute.
Gilbert O'Sullivan, brilliant sound writer, musian and singer
Gilbert O’Sullivan and Clair
"Clair" is a happy song by Gilbert. Just goofing with a little girl he used to babysit for. Very cute, very sweet.
Is this video an overdub of the original? It sounds so much like it, except for the guitar solo, which seems new. But, the voicing sounds exactly like original.
I just love seeing people reactions to this, they start grooving to the music, then they hear the lyrics, the look on their faces is priceless Hahaha!
The dichotomy of upbeat music and unbelievably sad lyrics is disturbingly beautiful.

If you ever watched Love Actually, there is a reference to this song when Colin Firth goes to write his book in a foreign country.
Beautiful or bittersweet
Always loved this song. Very McCartney-esque
Gilbert really had a great talent for putting together songs that tug at the heartstrings - you should try "Nothing Rhymed" and "We Will".
How I have enjoyed this song in my teenager years....who never felt "alone again"?
May I say that you have ( of other reactors that I’ve heard) such a intelligent and artistic way of breaking down the song and artist that we’re listening to.

I loved this song when I first heard it on 77 WABC Radio here in New York City. It ended up as the #1 song of the year on the top 100 of 77 WABC.
I’m off to see Gilbert next week I will look at this song differently now
Very good insight into a sad yet joyful piece.
The melody is beautiful, the lyrics are very sad. If you are. not depressed before you hear the song, you will be after listening to it.
Daisy a day is another 70's tear jerker.
How about Catch the Wind by Donavan and Of You Could Read my Mind by Gordon Lightfoot.
2 thought provoking songs and almost brings me to tears
A classic from the 70s that will be listened to 100 years from now. It's not sad- it's healing. We all wait our turn to experience these losses.
This song was such a part of my life, it's hard to imagine people who haven't heard it, granted, I'll be 60 in a couple weeks. 💜😢
who else is going around watching all these reactions to this song
bahahaha
"Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin is also a very sad song, but it's a good one.
I've heard you say many times how much you love the 60's music and I believe you, but if you will forgive my saying so, you really seem to have a great affinity for the 70's Singer Songwriters.
