Fifth biggest hit of the 70's according to American Top 40. Spent 6 weeks at #1 in '72, back when songs rarely spent more than 4 weeks at the top. It didn't happen again until early 1977 (Tonight's the Night/Rod Stewart/8 weeks).
*sigh* isn't sad how beautiful old fashioned words like .."gay" .."queer" "quaint" .."dainty" "love" and the like.. have been corrupted by modern "hollywood nonsense" ? (to LoveOlderWomen)
this song is soft and really nice i love sooo much my dad listened to it so im still hooked on it from age 4 and ya i still wanna cry cuz o' this song =|
Alone Again (Naturally) was released in 1972, and in total spent six weeks, non-consecutively, at No.1 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.
I beg to differ with a couple comments, it is really about life and the emotional aspect of old age and dying which is physical. He is a superb songwriter and I think he had guts to write about something so personal. It isn't violent or sexual like todays music but deals with real issues we all go thru and in a loving way expresses how he misses his parents. Thats how I see it; not depressing but caring, big difference
oh my goodness... what a beautiful... yet tragic thing to say. I've never heard this song before now, and the lyrics had me in tears as I imagined anybody going through this experience..
This song is my soul. I really love this song. I'm 49 years old now, I met this song when I was 14 years old. This song is just masterpiece in this century.
It's beautiful I don't think there could have been a more sad song ever written. If nothing else doesn't this remind you to cherish your family, while you have them..
I have loved this song from the first time I heard it on the radio in my dads volkswagen sunbug. Ha totally old school and it still brings tears to my eyes and Im glad Im alone when that happens so i can really just feel the song. Thanks for posting it
I hurt someone that i loved very much. I would have rather hurt myself instead. I've cut myself so much just to make up for the pain i caused him, but the scars did not go that deep. And like the song says alone again naturally. I pray and i pray that god would bring him back, but he hasn't. I wish suicide was an option, but it would only hurt the ones who really love me. I live in my pain so they won't have to live in thiers. I just want him back the way it was. I still love you KKG.
Thank you. Your advices are usuful. I hate living with the pain and I am tired of it and even now the tears keep coming. And hard as it may be tomorrow I'll try to do something that I've never have before, which is to love myself. (it'll be hard, but i will try) Thank you again.
I agree with you but it seems like were the minority here. sigh . whats this world coming to? when r people gonna realise that this world isnt about how much fun u can have but how dyou act when faced with challenges and tribulations. would u stand up for what is right or would u give up what is right for ur own desires and happiness for this life which isnt gonna last anyway? Thats why theres so much adultery nowadays..
I think this song is brilliant. Also, I find the lyrics along with the melody to be very clever. Though, it's the most depressing song i have ever heard, lol. Next on... When Soft Rock Attacks!!!
I dont think i want to continue with the part of the world calling me a coon, mudd eater, and calling my friends esse's like blacks suddenly became related to spanish decent.
we just hafta hang in there... were the ones who are burdened with the task of holding to whats still good in this world for the whole of humanity since the majority has already let go of them..
I just lost my best friend ever. =( I can't belive it. But then again, that's only one little bad thing in my life.. My life is awful. I even have thought's of suicide.(Not cause of my best friend!) God really fucks me around. =(
life is what you make of it. The happiest people in the world know this and don't dwell on the unhappiness in their lives. No one has it easy, it's all about how you deal with it. If there is a God (and I doubt there is), he's on permanent vacation and you can't rely on him to solve your problems. If you can't have complete happiness, take joy in the small things.
Hey...life's hard for a lot of people. Just know that you're not alone. We all face challenges and whether we're next door or 1000 miles away, we're pulling for you :)
To farmdreamer: I hear ya dood! my dad is dead & mt mom is going with severe kidney disease. I am an opiate & alchohol addict YES I admit it. It sux but these are the cards I was dealt. I lost my HUGE house, Mustangs, Now my wife & kids. And to those who say SEEK GOD, I believe in god but he never helped me, By the way This is music at its finest &n I am an 80's metal head. This is at its finest.
i have tried to be christian and it doesn't work because there is not enough evidence FOR christianity, and not enough AGAINST it, but then and again, there's no evidence against the tooth fairy either. so i wont be believeing any time soon. sorry to any christians out there, but i have tried, believe m!!
i cant say that ive had any super tragic things happen to me in my life (yet) but haveing no love in your life, like romantic love, and even with trying your best you still cant find the One for you, and being rejected so many times despite your best efforts, it hurts alot and makes you think if there even IS anyone out there for you. all i have in the world is my mom, my sister and God and i dont know what i would do without them. but you know, its times like this you gotta have Faith!
on the contrary, when LIFE IS SO HARD ..that's when people actually DO TALK TO GOD..even if in anger..and God does listen then because it's with TRUTH...and if we ask humbly for help..HE does help...although in mysterious ways often..I can testify to it and empathize with you..May the Lord here your prayer.
I can relate. life is so hard but so is dying. i have my mom at home here shes in end stage heart failure and dying alittle more each day. i hate watching her and being helpless to do anything .i did the same for my dad . taking care of him to the end was one of the hardest things todo and watch. the other one is watching it with my mom all over again. enjoy life while you can.
Me parecía que la música de Keane , que el piano de Rice-Oxley eran supremos pero...al escuchar este tema queda claro que Rice-Oxley tiene mucho camino por recorrer en las baladas de alta cálidad. Hasta el momento lo ha hecho maravillosamente bien pero aquí el maestro GILBERT O'SULLIVAN deja claro que aún el joven pianista inglés puede y debe dar mucho más. RHESO RHESO
Though the lyrics are obviously sad and I could relate to it now that my father passed away already, I have a nice memory of this song during my high school life when a classmate sang this for us. It reminds me of my joyful high school moments. Thanks for posting.
This is my favorite of his songs. My da introduced it to me a few weeks ago and I can't get it out of my head. The song can be difficult for me at times because I analyze songs through the music so I expect it to be an upbeat song. Still probably his best song that I know. Too bad his record company screwed him over.
not to get ragged on or bash Gilbert...but seriously, this has to be the most depressing song ever...yet, it has one of the most up beat rhythms...seriously, what gives
When my father passed awy, I stood by his grave side so alone and thought of this song... Such beautiful words, I always shed a tear when I hear this.
Hi, when my mom passed away I was so sad I couldn't even cry. My dad died alone missing my Mom so much. She was his Love his world. With 7 children his broken heart couldn't be mended. This song makes me cry as I miss my parents so much and I think of my dad with this song changing the 'she' to 'he'. I cry and cry all day.
last lines:"I remember I cried when my father died.....when she passed away, I cried and cried all day....." are so deeply,deeply touched....always brings tears to my eyes. It's classic and a Master pieces.

Hi, when my mom passed away I was so sad I couldn't even cry. My dad died alone missing my Mom so much. She was his Love his world. With 7 children his broken heart couldn't be mended. This song makes me cry as I miss my parents so much and I think of my dad with this song changing the 'she' to 'he'. I cry and cry all day.

last lines:"I remember I cried when my father died.....when she passed away, I cried and cried all day....." are so deeply,deeply touched....always brings tears to my eyes. It's classic and a Master pieces.
