Gilbert O'Sullivan Lyrics


Raymond Edward O'Sullivan was born in Waterford, Ireland on
December 1, 1946. In 1958, at the age of eleven, the family
was off to England. Gilbert recalls hearing the news with
mixed feelings. He had lived all his life in Waterford and
love the surrounding countryside. Raymond attended St.
Joseph's Comprehensive in Swindon and he went on to the
Swindon Art College. Prior to college he spent hours
pounding at the family piano which finally forces his mom
to relocate it to the wood shed. It is there that Gilbert's
songwriting begins. More...

Reviews about Gilbert O'Sullivan songs
I didn't understand it back then ..... | Reviewer: Gerell
    ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan

When this song came out, I was young and preoccupied with family, career, etc. I thought it was a beautiful song (the music) but, because I'm a little hard of hearing, I didn't really know the words. I mainly remember the "alone again, naturally" part. The melody stuck with me forever. It's interesting that people are still commenting after over 4 years since this posting came out. The last one was only a few days ago.
The song is beautiful but it's also sad. So why do we want to remember it? Because it's sad? Because it's beautiful? Maybe both. I don't know why, I just like the song and I'm glad that the song did not end with a suicide. Gerell

A real tear jerker | Reviewer: Jack B.
    ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan

Everyone seems to paint the same picture here,and you are right.It is sad,but not written by real events.It's just a song he came up with,but man,is it moving!? I too was around 12,and had to have the 45 rpm. I wore it out,memorized every lyric,and then my mom passed away the next year. So here I am a 12 year old boy,back in 1972,having to hear this song on the radio,and balling to it each time I hear it. I'm 50 years old now, and I still cry every time I hear it.This song will go to the grave with me as the most influential song I have ever heard.

    ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan

My dad passed away last year and I miss him very much. This song has a lot more meaning to me now. Plus my best friend was killed late last year in an accident and he used to sing it. I cant say any more.

    ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan

There's a lot more to this song than merely grieving over the loss of one's parents. At the beginning of the song, this person was left at the alter by his fiance and contemplating suicide and questioning the existence of God. But by the end of it he's still alive, looking back over the years recalling his father's death & how he openly cried and how his father's death broke his mother's heart and ultimately her spirit... He couldn't convince her to carry on the way he did. He's destined to be alone and he accepts that. Naturally.

sad song - childhood memory | Reviewer: sigh
    ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan

This song brings me back to my childhood days. I loved the tune but did not understand the grief although the idea of being alone scared me. I am now 46, have lost my parents and far away from my siblings - I understand the sadness. But with a family of my own, there is always a new page. A very sad song but a true classic. Everytime I hear this song I get sucked into a childhood memory sitting under a tree reading a book.

It's a beautiful and sad song | Reviewer: Joselo100
    ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan

I'm from Chile and I like the music of Gilbert, specially this song. When I translated the letter it seemed to me a beautiful, sad and touching song. MyToni K, I have the same feelings every time I listen this song.

Just A Superb Song | Reviewer: Joe O
    ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan

I remember this song from when I was a young lad, and even though, like many of you above, I didn't understand the connotation of the song, I truly enjoyed it, and ran to the radio to turn it up each and every time I heard it. A true Classic.

    ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan

I remember listening to this song when I was a teenager, and didn't really comprehend it.
Now at 46, sometimes the song pops in my mind, and I understand it...unfortunately.
