Beautiful music for sure, but it’s such a masterpiece because the majority of us can really relate to it in one way or another…crushing but very real lyrics.
I sang all his song as a child, now the songs are more real today, now I am no longer 10 years old. Thank you, Gilbert O Life is beautiful people and brief.
This song slaps in 8 bit, I know an anime sounding version and a soft jazz 8 bit version that I play in the car a lot .. masterpiece of a composition for sure
Sounds exactly like something Paul McCartney would have written. Maybe not the sad lyrics. But definitely how the words and music was arranged musically. It was identical to Paul.
Another memorable classic! Not surprised that it is a MP song request. Created a great song reaction. Funny, if you can't love whoever you are with then you will be lonely, starting with yourself. Love thyself & you may have more love to give those you love.
Wow MP, this evokes early childhood memories for me, elementary school to be exact. Didn't fully understand the total meaning of it then, but of course I do now. Melancholy, but still a beautiful sounding song, solid request and reaction...
I remember this being in the charts when I was a kid but never really paid attention to the lyrics until I was older. A really sad song with catchy tune. Weird.
Great reaction! I’m so glad you took the time to look up the lyrics to this beautiful but sad song, Just Jamming, especially since you mentioned you had heard it before but in bits and pieces. I really admire how well you communicate and are transparent with how the song affects you because we are right there with you!
"Alone Again (Naturally)" dropped when I was a kid. I used to get Gilbert O'Sullivan mixed up with Gilbert and Sullivan, the Victorian-era writing partnership that created fourteen comic operas between 1871 and 1896, including H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado. As I got older and became interested in rock and roll I used to think the sixties classic tune by Love, "Alone Again Or", was this song, just by titles, not by sound. The Damned covered "Alone Again Or" in 1987 as an homage to the original. Listening along just now, I'm struck by how the sound of the song reminds me of the work John Lennon did at the end of the decade just before his murder.
One sentence sums it up: if you're into unrelenting-wordplay plus honky-tonkin', sooner or later you have to delve into Gilbert. He may be a vaudeville-throwback, he may be a misanthrope, but he's a master of his peculiar craft. A few random song-recommendations - Luck Of The Irish, Nobody Wants To Know, You Were The Best `Fun' I Ever Had, Houdini Said and Mr Moody's Garden (both chosen for sheer lunacy), the original 1982 version of If I Know You ('cause it's darker), Not In A Million Years, and of course the mini-hit that everyone tries to overlook, Underneath The Blanket Go.

An object lesson on how to wrap up an *incredibly* dark and sombre lyric in a beautiful melody and an "easy listening" arrangement. Amazing song!
Hi, Just: This was a very popular song. It was #1 on WABC's top 100 of the year for 1972. I'm glad you pulled up the lyrics.
One of Just Jammin's best reactions -- the better the song, the better his analysis.
He performed in LA this past weekend!
This song was absorbed when is was young. I was 10 in 1972.
Beautiful music for sure, but it’s such a masterpiece because the majority of us can really relate to it in one way or another…crushing but very real lyrics.
Big hit during that very warm, sleepy summer when we were kids. 😎
Beautiful Song, but sad and relatable for so many, the reason its a Classic.
Coldest opening ever….” Will throw myself off”
Love this as a yougin still do never get tired listening to MP 70s classic ❤❤🔥🔥🥰🥰
l heard of him i just dont remember when its a good song lm turning 60 on the 20th, its good to see you just jammin
Happy you get the sadness and joy in this lyrical piece!
I sang all his song as a child, now the songs are more real today, now I am no longer 10 years old. Thank you, Gilbert O
Life is beautiful people and brief.
Wow this song was really sad. It’s one thing about a song about heart break but he had heart break, questioning god & parents dying. Truly sad 😢.
Brings back memories of listening to AM radio in the car with my mom. She loved this song.
I have always suggested that you learn the lyrics ❤❤❤
The "65 years old, my mother God rest her soul" line was incorporated into Sugar Ray's "Fly" as 25 years old.
This was an AM staple for many years and still is a top hit on the list of 70's pop easy listening.

Great reaction! Thank You.
No problem!
Very sad song 😢😞

Gosh,so many happy childhood memories listening to this amazing album with my siblings..we sung along to all the songs!x

The song tells that the protagonist is abandoned at the altar by his fiancée on his wedding day
I love this song. It sounds like something Paul McCartney would write.
This and Eleanor Rigby, the two most melancholy songs 🎵
@@joemachine4714 yes
Doubt McCartney could ever write such a sensitive piece. He and his gang were into English pop.

Mother Popcorn strikes again ... clearly Mother Popcorn had a great time in 1971-1972 .
Such a sad song
Easy not to realise
You could try "I Wasn't Expecting That - Jamie Lawson (Official Video)" if you want a really sad song..
It’s hard so lose your parents 😢. Believe me 😪😪

Another song that is along this line is HONEY by Bobby Goldsboro.
