      My sentiments exactly. I feel just the same. Still can’t grasp Eric Carmen isn’t here anymore. The news of his death really hurt. It was like having a safe place torn away. I too have turned to Eric Carmens music a lot during the past 50 years in general and for solice during hard times in particular. To much of this world is not aware how Big a loss his passing is.😢

      He was the soundtrack of my life.
      More recently he was a presence on Twitter (before “X”). He responded to my comment once and as a 60 year old (at that time), I was thrilled. Gone way too soon. He will be missed. 🙏

His lyrics touched me and were so meaningful and powerful. As talented as he was, I truly think he was underappreciated, but I will love him forever.😭

    Eric Carmen is without a doubt one of the most prolific song writers and performers around. And in my opinion, the body of his work has been greatly under appreciated both as a member of the Raspberries, and as a solo performer. His true fans however, have always appreciated his work and perhaps one day, the rest of the world will finally catch on.

      Boats against the Current I think is his most moving piece. Most of his fans would go with "By myself" but I feel Boats against the Current reasonates on another level. It's a beautiful piece musically and lyrically. I've seen 2 other artists cover it, but no one sings it like Eric. It's my favorite piece of any artist. By myself was covered by Celine Dion also. "Boats" covered by Olivia Newton John. But I think Eric is Eric. I wish he toured.

    Eric Carmen is the reason I taught myself to play the piano (I grew up playing guitar). I've been a professional musician for 45 years, toured, the whole ball of wax but this man (except for The Beatles) inspired me more than any other musician in the business. The first song I learned to play on the piano was All By Myself and no I do not do it justice but the crowds always loved it right up until I retired in 08. I have never, and still don't understand why this man has never really received the credit he deserves for his body of work. Besides his wonderful voice he is a first class musician and I will listen to and adore his music until the day they bury me. Thank you Eric Carmen for all the wonderful times and especially for the eternal songs you've given us, you have played a huge role in my musical life and I am grateful for it.

    I've been an incredible fan since I first bought the album in high school in the late 70s. It spoke profoundly to how it felt to be a gay man at that time in multiple dimensions. I cried and hoped to this song so many times for a day where I could be loved for being myself.
    Eric was brave to embrace his love for Rachmaninoff at a time when that wasn't considered cool. He showed us how romantic and passionate current music could be by channeling a master of romanticism and bringing that feeling and sound into the 1970s in a way that it spoke to that generation and beyond. His melodies and chord progressions were as deeply moving as the classical master while adding a layer of poetic lyrics that brought the meaning of the music sharply into focus within our hearts.
    Much of the world including myself fell in love with his alter ego Sergei after he introduced us to that sublime music. It's as if he and Rachmaninoff are one in the same - the passion and pain and angelic beauty are pervasive in both their compositions. And in two of their pieces, they joined hearts.
    Thank you Eric and Sergei. Your music deeply touched my life. I can also say happily in 2021 that after a long long journey into self love that I'm no longer all by myself. 💞

I played it, hung onto it, and still have it. From "All By Myself" and "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again", through "She Did It" and "Hey Deanie", to "Hungry Eyes" and "Make Me Lose Control". Cleveland's finest was one of the best. Credit Clive's ear for making him a solo star.

    Eric Carmen, is such a great vocalist, I really wished I could of met him. But I was still a kid that I started hearing his music playing in radio or one of my family members would listen to his music. I really love Eric and I love his music. And I loved your song go all the way, and I miss those days when music was more meaningful

    As a genius of the music arts,I’ve truly believe you’re one of the most amazing singers through out the many years, Hall of Fame Great✅🎸🎤 You’re one of the reasons the seventies had markers in my history for sure❣️My Jr.High school dance when “Go all the way” was playing, and it was great❣️ and many more songs you dazzled the eighties with “ Hungry eyes” I was dating but then started hanging out with two guys, and they were funny, and almost married one of them. Your music helped me sort things out from time to time.Great writing songs so well that other singers were singing your songs a lot❣️Thanks for the memory makers 💖👍✅🥰

    That song meant so much to me when I was very young and then I lived my full life. Now in the late autumn of my life the song mean so much again. Life is so cruel it shows you all the wonderful glorious days fullness and enrichment filled with successes and accomplishments. In the end you are reminded of what you no longer can do of who you were and were able to accomplish knowing you'll never reach those Pinnacles you enjoyed in the past in the way that you did. That's why I sort of feel sorry for him because he can't perform this song the way he used to and reach those high notes or play the piano nimbly as he once did. We watch the body age, the beauty fade, the hearing lessen and the eyesight fatigue and some of us get abandoned and are truly "all by myself".

    Gees, I always had the biggest crush on Eric Carmen especially when he was in the Raspberries..he is still a very good looking man. Loved all of his music. He's an Ohio (Cleveland) man. I live in Columbus. Just a little bit younger then him. Wished I could have seen him at some point and time. When the Raspberry broke up I was graduating from high school. Maybe I should have gone to Cleveland State instead of Ohio State. ..lol

    I was the engineer for ABM and several other projects. I was absolutely astonished at the musicianship that Eric brought to the studio. Very few people know that he was a classically trained concert pianist and had the vocal talent of being pretty much able to get into any note any range at any time.. I always made a consent to take home and play it in my car and sometimes in my office, and occasionally I would find something in there that I could bring back to the studio and suggest an adjustment to the master. I thought the beat on this song was a little too slow, but Eric wanted to keep it exactly where it was. What he did not tell you during this interview was the reason that he hated the raspberry band was because it failed to give him an opportunity to showcase his classic background and his vocal acumen. He had been playing piano for 22 years by the time he did all by myself, and the rest of those tunes! Anybody can get up there and scream about going all the way and Eric did it better than anyone but rock ‘n’ roll and classic music are miles apart although rock ‘n’ roll brings a lot more money anybody can do it!

    Como quisiera haberte conocido en persona, ir a un concierto tuyo. Eres un excelente y completo artista de componer canciones que traspasando el tiempo siguen vivas en nuestros corazones. Al escuchar tu Gran Obra Maestra All By Myself, me llega hasta lo más profundo de mi ser. Todas tus canciones son excelentes en letras y melodias, cuando tenias tu grupo y como solista ❤️ Tu legado es enorme, nunca moriras por que estan y tu también en mi corazón. No entiendo bien tu muerte, ya que solo la familia dice que estaba dormido y ahi murio pero de que? Paro Cardiaco? Paro Cardio Respiratorio? Ya eso se sabrá.. Es importante saber que antes de tu muerte tu música fue elogiada por grandes artistas y cantadas por varios y eso te dio mucha satisfacción ... Eric eres mi amor platónico 💔 te voy a extrañar mucho. Que Dios te tenga en su Gloria. Ya nos veremos y ahí te daré un beso dulce 😘 Vuela, Vuela Alto lindo Eric Carmen 🕊️❤️❤️🕊️😢
    How I wish I had met you in person, gone to one of your concerts. You are an excellent and complete artist of composing songs that, passing through time, remain alive in our hearts. When listening to your Great Masterpiece All By Myself, it reaches the deepest part of my being. All your songs are excellent in lyrics and melodies, when you had your group and as a soloist ❤️ Your legacy is enormous, you will never die because they are and you too in my heart. I don't quite understand your death, since only the family says that he was asleep and died there, but from what? Cardiac arrest? Cardio Respiratory Arrest? That will be known... It is important to know that before your death your music was praised by great artists and sung by several and that gave you a lot of satisfaction... Eric, you are my platonic love 💔 I am going to miss you a lot. May God have you in his glory. We'll see each other and there I'll give you a sweet kiss 😘 Fly, Fly High, sweet Eric Carmen 🕊️❤️❤️🕊️😢

    Eric was given a gift from God! He shared his talents. Thank you for sharing! Moments in time which live on and on! Thank you for sharing. I took a date to see the Raspberries in Augusta, GA. in the early 70's. She was a great looking gal. Asked her out, took her to dinner at a place called T's and then to the concert at the Bell Auditorium. When we got there she took off with some girls friends running around acting silly before the show started. When caught up with her and told her we were leaving before the show. I returned her to her Father. I told him, Sir, your daughter is too immature to take out. She was shocked, He was impressed with me and thankful I didn't leave her. Never had the opportunity to see them again.
