  • "And when she passed away.

    I cried and cried all day, alone again naturally, ALONE AGAIN, NATURALLY."

    :)

  • It's beautiful and sad at the same time. Father died then four years later my mother in her 60's , march-17-07 . LOVE YOU MOM,LOVE YOU DAD.......

  • 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).

  • nice hair

  • my jam!

  • the gay mentioned in the lyrics means happy... not the kind of gay you're thinkin

  • Actually, I was thinking the happy kind of gay...

  • *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)

  • Ditto

    (to YourDarkAccomplice)

  • You are right. Truly right. Peace...

  • i first heard this song in the movie "Stuck on You" starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear

  • one of the most heart wrenching songs of all time!!!

  • 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.

  • Loved the video, the music, the lyrics, and the guy who took this clip.

  • I'v listened to this so many times over the years and never with dry eyes, it just shows that we'r all the same inside.

  • Beautiful but sad song,,,,,,

  • she did you a favor. it's better to be a bachlor single and happy than be married and in *ell the rest of your life

  • This song i listened to from the first time in Lima stereo100.

  • The struggle of life, sad times. We will all face this sooner or later.

  • 悲しい歌ですね。

    でも、いい歌です。

  • So sad!

  • Beautiful song, lost & forgtten so long ago!

  • 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

  • My heart in words.

  • 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..

  • Well it is what it is... Its just nice to know someone with such talent can get across how he feels in a good song.

  • One on my most depressing songs of all time.

  • que buen recuerdo ,no hay dudas que lo pasado fue mejor ,saludos desde Peru

  • 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.

  • i rarely like #1 songs this is one of the few great ones

  • This guy was great! I don't know why he wasn't bigger than he was. Great balladeer.

  • This song brings back so many memories..good and bad. Thanks for posting this.

  • 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 love this song so much. It's sad but i love it

  • Good old music. late 60's to early 80's is the most touching era of music.

  • Classic O'Sullivan...5 stars...

  • man fuck you if dont appricate good music like this

    you probably listen to that shit that glorifies violence

  • you must be an english major

  • ROBIN4EVER= DOPE

  • fantastic song from the under-rated gilbert. he recorded some excellent songs in his time.

  • 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

  • Beautiful Song, did not care for it back in the day, older/wiser, had to buy the CD.

  • good to hear some brittish song..

    not like those american songs.. always happy ending, or just dumb.. & pointless

  • its Irish not British

  • brings back many memories. some sad, but that is life.

  • Remember, while you are judging the song - the song is also judging you.

  • VERY GOOD SONGGGGGGGGG!!!!

  • Such a sad song... and such a sad hairdo.

  • this is the saddest song ive heard in my life it almost makes you cry hearing it

  • great song

    it is in The Virgin Suicides film, you know?

  • i thought the beatles sung this song.

  • I heard this song in an anime called Maison Ikkoku as an opening theme song, you should check it out.

  • i've known all the words to this song for years! Sad but i grew up with this

  • Who would have thought that listening to Gilbert O'Sullivan would be so damn depressing?

  • Is he related to Morrissey?! {{^_^}}

  • it reminds me to al stewart

  • I've always liked the song, the melody is beautiful, but I never knew the lyrics until now. Beautiful, but sad.

  • this song is nice but its soo sad its a tear jerker for sure

  • you never know, maybe he'll become a hermit. =D

  • love this song!

    its number one on my most depressing songs of all time.

  • I love his hair.

  • Hhaha, I thought this was by the Bee Gees....

  • Bellissima canzone ...mi rikorda il cartone animato maison ikkoku qll di kioko ^.^

  • verooooooo stupendo

  • a big classic

  • my life seams to falling apart this song give me hope.

  • this is a really sad,yet catchy tune. but it really makes a single person feel all alone..

    haha alone again naturally..

  • aww... me too = (

  • ohh.. alone again, naturally. :( i need love

  • 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.

  • I hope that my advices are some usuful friend.

    Regards.

  • 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.

  • LOL!

  • Paw, be cool. The sun will rise tomorrow, friend. Do yourself a favor and look at some loud and happy videos on YouTube!

  • oh stop -please

  • Where does it say all suicides go to hell? You certainly don't know that do you? No one does.

  • Wow, People with mental illnesses go to the same hell as murders and rapists ?There's a kind god.

  • beautiful lyrics

  • my friend just lost her hubby few weeks ago, i hope she will not feel alone again. Jezze Chris!

  • 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..

  • いい歌♪

  • sometimes when your hurt you will may say this word but if already heal you may say GOD has the reason why those things happen...

  • Catalina, te amo.

  • 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!!!

  • very good and meaningful song i ever listning

  • 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..

  • esta rola es otra onda otro nivel

  • I don't think you can press 1 for spanish on this site, thank god, so go away!

  • 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. =(

  • Hold on my friend.

  • It's you kind of people who are the reason I don't do it. Thank you teglum1. =)

  • 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.

  • good said

  • 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 :)

  • Hang in there plz suicides go hell.Then you have internal hell forever

  • 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!

  • Wow....

  • This is one awesome tune!--& the words are very powerful

  • He sings of suicide

    The existance of God (if there is one, and if there is why he DESERTED HIM)

    Being rejected

    His father dying, watching his mother be sad, and not having an effect of consoling her.

    So sad. I cry when I hear this song. It reminds me of my own life.

    Life can be so fucking hard.

  • 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.

  • life has fucked me around so much. i stopped believing in god.

    i actually prayed a few nights ago. in my prayer i said " God, if you're really there , please......" 

    some people like you i guess just haven't been run down hard enough yet i guess.

    you'll see.

    well, i hope not. because we need positive ppl around.

  • do NOT give up on God, because God is LOVE. i know how ya feel man.

  • 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.

  • preciosa

  • good old song

  • SOLOP OTRA VEZ UNA BUENA ROLA

  • 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

  • Great Song! Maybe he's sad because someone left the cake out in the rain and he'll never have that recipe again?

  • This song is amazing.

  • great song

  • PAAAAAAAA VIVIANNNNNNNNNNNNNN

  • EL SEÑOR JO JO JO

  • great song.........soundtrack to my life

  • its sad to me..

  • 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.

  • just love it

  • 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.

  • Hi, I am so sorry. I will pray that he is found well.

  • 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

  • It's contrast. I think the fact that the music is upbeat but the lyrics are sad makes it that much more powerful.

  • 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.

  • Wow! Phenomenal song!

  • 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.

  • True, True

  • sad but good song
