This is one of the most beautiful sad songs ever written
The writer expressed in rhyme the true nature of major depression and how trauma can cause a person to be overwhelmed, crushed and unable to see life's potential and become suicidal. I believe that when it was said, "Naturally," that he did not mean that these are natural occurrences but rather that "...he is alone, naturally..." because, being deeply depressed and heartbroken, he believes he is not worthy of love and deserves only loneliness and sorrow....naturally.
In this song, he felt he was left alone four times, by his fiancé at the altar; by God in his "...hour of need...;" and by the passing of each of his parents.
Agreed! I’ve always absolutely loved this song! At the end he says “that was almost a tear jerker”! Almost? 😥 Haha! The first few verses perfectly set you up to a sad place we can all relate too. Then the line “ my mother god rest her soul, couldn’t understand - why the only man - she ever loved had been taken- leaving her to start- w/ her heart so badly broken” I mean come on? Just wrecks me every time! So damn good!
👍💯
Gets me every time!!
That’s what happened to me when my father died!
This song is genius. The lyrics set to the whimsical melody makes for one of the all-time greats.
This was an enormous hit when I was in high school, Grammy nominations, the whole ball game. It made us cry then, it makes me cry now.
I am crying now!!
50 years ago (1972) this song was #1. A song for the ages. It's not sad- it's healing. We will all take our turn dealing with these very sad scenarios. No one leaves this world unscathed.
Well stated sir.
I am very glad you guys listened to the lyrics.
So many songs back in the day were as much about the poetry as they were about the music.
They listened to the lyrics?? Hmm...Not for Most of the song.
Gilbert is a genius writer.In an interview I believe he said he merely put himself in the position of some one who felt this way.That’s genius.This song gets me every time.Great reaction.Thank you!!!!
Saw that interview. None of those things had happened to him when he wrote it.
@andydurazo5337 his mother was a bit upset! Lol! Perhaps is just observing and witnessing life.
One of the most beautiful and saddest songs ever written!
Gilbert was an incredible song writer,never really got the praise he deserved ❤❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever written that slowly rips your heart out of your chest.
This song has always made me cry . I was around 6 when it was released in the U.S. and today at 56 I am still crying.
Now do his song Claire!!! It’s a song about his little God daughter and his babysitting experience you HAVE to know the story behind that one because people had dirty minds and was thinking it was about something bad but it’s a sweet song.
It really is a sweet song. I love Claire ❤
This is one song that every time I sing it, I still choke up through it. Its so simple, but deep and real
Now how about a feel good Gilbert song? "Claire". It's so sweet!
Or that “Get down” song. Never remember the actual name
@@charlesbontempo6934 It's called..."Get Down."
@@charlesbontempo6934 😂
This song touches & reaches all generations ❤
He is not alone. He has millions of fans who love him and his music, me for one. I grew up with his music and have almost all of his albums. Interesting fact, I first heard this particular song when I was in the Russian (then Soviet) Army. I did not know much English, but even so the song touched the strings of my very soul. Thank you for your reaction and God Bless!
I Raised Myself Since I Was 9 Years Old,, This Song Would Be Released 1 Year Later & I Truly Related To It.
Hopeful you are doing well.
Me too and now it's even more poignant
I'm sitting here crying over a song that I haven't heard since I was a kid. It touched me deeply then and even more so now, hearing those beautiful lyrics!
Wow, another song I grew up listening to. As a child, I never listened to the words as much as I did the tune and the vibe. I loved the song, because I knew it was a good song. Honestly, I was reacting to it the way y’all were. It’s a sad song, but it’s the truth. I’ve been divorced twice and a third relationship, all of which were abusive. I am now single! I lost my mother and my father in 2018. I don’t have any children. I have multiple sclerosis and have been on disability since I was 40 years old. Life has changed quite a bit. However, it’s up to me to feel happy or sad. I love this song, but it’s not one I’d listen to every day. I’m so glad that y’all were able to react to it. Luv y’all 💕
I'm now 63 years old and this was a hit in the UK when I was at school. Gilbert was a brilliant singer songwriter. I think you would love his song "Nothing Rymed". Great reaction guys, thank you.
I loved listening to this late at night in my room when I had gotten my heart broken again. So young and thought I would never hurt worse than that. If only that was as hard as it would ever get. My Soul Mate passed 9 years ago. That trumped every other hurt I had ever had. Still does.
A song from my childhood, liked and sung. After 50 years, I understand much more the emotions and meaning of the song. Life happens and there are broken hearts every day.
Nothing rhymed ( with lyrics ) - Gilbert O' Sullivan . A masterpiece with incredible lyrics. Amazed hardly anyone has reacted to this emotional song . Give it a go
I can never get through this song without crying.
AN ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR,,
SMITH "BABY IT'S YOU"..A TRUE TIMELESS CLASSIC.
Gilbert’s song “Claire” is one most are recommending and I would agree.
Still admiring this amazing song what a great voice and nice melody march 2024 ❤
You guys..... loved this song since childhood and it has the same affect on me as it did when I was a child.
A truly poignant and moving reaction, but because the song starts out so quickly with the ultimate response of suicide, you understandably didn't have a chance to emotionally respond to these initial lyrics. They make the song even more tragic:
"In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered..."
YES, I could tell that Shawn and Mel missed those first lines because there was NO reaction from them.
This actually happened to me at 20.
My favourite Gilbert O'Sullivan song is "Claire". I loved it when I was a little girl and named my daughter after it. Take a listen - it's beautiful.
Hola chicos me encantó su reacción a esta hermosa canción. Fue muy genuina. Saludos desde México
heavy and honest lyrics...but it is how you feel when you are truly grieving. However, I do know God has never left me tho. Been through too much and I am still here by any miracles and God's mercy:) I love his honesty tho ...this is true song writing
Great song I still play..Sad thing about losing everyone around you. you get used to it. you get closer to God.🙏🏻 Alone, not lonely 😃🎸🎵Song has a lot of meanings to a lot of people
You guys are soooo cool. Every time I see you've reacted something I head right over. As we say in Texas, Y'all be safe.
Still gets me to this day brilliant song🎤🙏👍🏼😞❤️
G o S was such a poet
It’s evident in his music.
This song was released when i was so young. I remembered the first time i heard it and i liked the melody and his voice unknowing what it was about. Then when i grew older and heard it again i was in shock about the lyrics and said to myself this is real life. How much time passed since i realized the greatness of this song. And still one of my favorite ever. It still reminds me the first time i heard it and exactly where i was. Good memories, after all.
Man this song is so amazing and hits home…
🙌🙌🙌 great reaction as always… love y’all.
Most everyone goes through at least parts of this song. It is a beautiful song.
Straight up sad, sad song. Great reaction to a great song. Also try Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks. I believe you'll love that also. Love you two. Peace
How lovely is this song ? Beautifully written , played and sung … nuff said 👍🏴
5:10: Strong honest emotion -- a beautiful thing.
LOVE Gilbert . This is such a great song. More please
This is a very honest song that I think every human can relate too.
Beautiful BEAUTIFUL
SONG 🎵 🎵🎵🎵🎵
Even though It’s a very sad song also. But is definitely
BEAUTIFUL 👍👍👍👍👍👍
💙💙💙💙💚💚💚💚💜💜💜
That was such a beautiful review. There is another beautiful heart touching song I hope Mel and Shawn will review. It's called, Everything I Own, by the group called, Bread. It is such a beautiful warm-hearted song.
Hard to go wrong with anything by David Gates and Bread. “If” and “Aubrey” will always be favorites.
One of my 1st BF's favs. Reminds me of him. Thanx for the memory!
I have always loved this song so much 🎶🎵
My gosh!! the wedding part that didn't happened that day is really shattering
Hauntingly beautiful song.
Such a good reaction,thanks guys
You guys need to check out the video of "The Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics. A very meaningful song that I believe you will like.
The real title of the song is "Alone Again Naturally". Huge hit in the 70's. Another song you should check out: Claire. It's about his little daughter. I'm surprised guys that so far, you haven't heard of the new genius singer Angelina Jordan. She's been blowing minds since she was 7 and today she's 15, 16 next January. Check her covers among the 150 + she's done. And if you are in anyway jazz fans, she's the one for you.
Clair was his manager (Gordon Mills) daughter. He used to baby sit her.
It's crushing but beautiful
This song always came to mind after a breakup. My last break up was 2017. I have been single since. Not sure I can date again or if I even want to. I think my heart is broken beyond repair. I wrote a poem about it.
Great song by a great irish man he was super
This song always made
Me cry!
I loved Gilbert O’Sullivan
About the most real reaction ever. Thanks!
I cry every time, I grew up on this
Love Gilbert love this beautiful song and love you guys. Thanks for this
Listen to his song Claire
Music gives voice to every experience and every emotion. Here to the tragic view of life--with a light, lilting melody, no less.
Your a beautiful couple guys,we all love yous
Simple poignant lyrics that bring a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye of all people who have lost a loved one, absolutely nails this emotion.
One of my favorite songs we used to sing in 6 grade music class in 1973.
Upbeat music to a very sad story.
Love you guys.You brighten my day.
I'm never "alone". Sad so many feel this way.
May the peace that surpasses all understanding, be with you.
How could you not shed a teer listening to this. Ty 🥲
One of the most gifted songwriters of his or any other era,A POWERFULL LYRICIST, LISTEN TO ANOTHER CLASSIC BY HIM CLAIR, THIS SON OF IRELAND IS A MUSICAL MASTERCLASS
I swear this has to be one of the saddest songs I've ever heard, but every word spoken is so true. It used to come on the radio frequently and was quite the hit!
I admire you more as I watch more reactions. You are good caring people. Lost my dad when I was 23...that was 33 years ago. My mom passed 12/10 this year. They were soulmates. They're together again.
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
at 62 years old i'm still speechless at these four lines.

Best played through without breaks…then go back and explore the song paying particular attention to its strong qualities I.e. the music, and the lyrics
an uplifting melody ...with devastating lyrics
This really is a beautiful song. I can empathize with every word .I just lost the only since love I ever had in my life. My husband died Aug. 5th 2022. I am truly alone.
Love this song and still a tear will drop when I listen to this🤫
But HEY we all meet again and never alone 😎
Australia 💕 Christina
You both are so cute, much Love, xo
Seeing this singer from my childhood tomorrow
Heard a bunch of these and agree with your comments …. alone again naturally … during these times many of us feel this way ..
It is a sad song, but it reflects the awful things that enter every life. He's providing an expression in song and poetry to acknowledge the pain people are going through every day.
Tissues - NEED tissues , Right? ! I cry like a baby every time I hear this. My parents died 4 months apart in 2012. Hurts!
In the UK I always remember hearing this at Christmas
A light class song but with a very heavy meaning. With some excellent guitar playing. Good reaction you two, Greetings From Down Under. Listen to his song "Clair", that will put a smile on you both, the laugh at the end is magic.
50 years later and moving another generation to tears , genius !
This song makes me cry every time. Every single time. There's a few that can touch me as deep as this one can.
Loved this from the day it was released. Still brings a tear to my eyes.
This song could reduce the toughest man to tears. I heard it and I couldn't stop crying.
It's so bright and cheerful and the lyrics are just a gut punch of pain.
we are never alone we have the Love of God his grace, mercy and hope in Christ.
It's life's experiences in all our lives, but the tune is beautiful in it's own right! Have you listened to 'Nothing Rhymed' ? absolutely stunning lyrics !
Such a sad, sad song.
Great song name for the Ravens after that lost last night 😔
Bendita niñez y juventud años 70 y 80...
Always thought this was a beautiful song but had a hard time getting past the lyrics to enjoy it. Peace ✌
This song still hits home. We have all asked. God why even today.
That was really good
"Alone Again (Naturally" #1 (6 weeks) late summer '72
