Gilbert O'Sullivan "Alone Again (Naturally)" (Official Music Video)

[@Bloops]

I love how Gilbert's voice has developed since the original version. It's not grown old or fragile, it's just wiser.

[@spurv]

It”s more fragile. He’s not the singer he used to be. Especially the high notes he struggles with. But that’s ok. Happens to us all.

[@HenrySy502]

It's sad to say but his voice has lost its brilliance

[@arifutama7859]

@@HenrySy502 i love this version despite of that lol it's like somebody older telling me an interesting story about his life

[@unclesalty7778]

Voice is not Even close to the original recording! But I thank you for the beautiful memories when you wrote this! I think of my mother so much when I hear it ! Miss you mom this song cuts me!❤❤

[@jazzsnare]

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

77 years old. Gilbert O'Sullivan is a genuine living legend!

[@KebabForce]

Oh just Discovered my love for Gilbert O"sullivan again..53 at the moment..I've found myself transported back to my childhood..what an amazing song writer and musician..

[@GaiaMiranda]

As an introverted teenager when this song came out it really spoke to me and it still does today God bless you

[@typerexc]

There is nothing about this song that does not become more beautiful with time.

[@SquireHoggOfficial]

I just rediscovered this wonderful song from my youth. Such a beautiful melody, juxtaposed upon the sad truth of loss in the lyrics. Thank you Gilbert O'Sullivan! It brought me back to the old days before digital music and the internet. But then I downloaded the sheet music, transposed to the key of C, so I can try to sing it myself for fun.

[@Steveachester]

Loved this in the 70s! Still love it now.

[@emaldonadog]

I agree!

[@barleyeducated8714]

Three years after this song came out, my mother passed away too young and too soon. Two weeks prior to this upload date, my wife passed, also too young and too soon. Thank You Gilbert for a song that has helped many to grieve and carry on.

[@wulannuryuliana2074]

This song reminds me, no matter who we are, in the end, we will always be alone, naturally

[@eslermanu47]

Brilliant artist and songwriter.

[@kiwiandurchin]

Wonderful that Gilbert is still active after these years. He’s my inspiration ❤️

[@ScottRandolph-dd7dr]

😢 I remember hearing this song in 1971, it has only taken me 50 years to actually understand this song. Beautiful yet sad. And yes , Alone Naturally in coastal Mississippi 🧔

[@junesymonds8340]

Thought you was Special ,in 70s, and still do,after all these years. Voice still amazing and timeless. Must add, beautiful guitar playing from Bill too. Thank you Gilbert, for all the joy.❤

[@christinephilp6312]

I remember this in 1971. I was 13. My bedroom walls were plastered with newspaper pictures of the man. I never lost faith. His style is distinctive and unique, he's a wordsmith and stayed true to himself. I look forward to the next gig.

[@Phantom1963]

I remember that age❤ I love Gilbert O'Sullivan..... My wall was covered with pictures of Marie Osmand.... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤SEVEN HEARTS AND PRAYERS TO YOU.

[@REPAIRANDSUPPORT]

​@@Phantom1963My father died around the time this song came out. I was just 6. It was my first time dealing with the reality of the death of the people that fill your world. I remember the first day back to school, and being scared when the teacher announced to the class what had happened. I figured I would get picked on. But no other child in my class ever said a word. I guessed, at the time, the idea of losing a parent was as scary to them as reality was to me. Anyway, this song always takes me to that time, and brings out feelings like no other song does for me. This is the first time I have ever shared this with others, and the first time I have heard anything but the original recording.

[@lawyerintraining]

@@Phantom1963he can’t even sing though

[@standemain]

I believed lies about getting "older." I grew up in the 60's hearing "Never trust anyone over 30." Youth was good, older was bad. We don't call older people “elders” much, we call them "elderly." Sounds bad to me. I talked myself into feeling bad about life. I compared and judged. I am really working hard to stop this nonsense. Thanks Gilbert! You are great! Proof that older is great too.

[@SteveBagnall-gh1fu]

No, we are wiser.

[@grtlover]

Amen, my friend 🌞

[@donnal.carlkuchinski1394]

One of the most beautiful songs ever! Thank you, Gilbert!

[@hawaiifranke66]

Beautiful! I listen to his songs since the early 70ies and will keep listening to them till I die.

[@MikeWayson]

This man never aged since I've been listening to him the past 13 years ❤

[@doubledrats235]

I lost my wife last year right before our fortieth wedding anniversary. She died of cancer in home hospice three weeks after taking an ambulance to the hospital. I listen to this and some other songs like “She’s got a way” by Billy Joel and I can’t stop crying. But I still listen to them.

[@RalphDavis-qk2xy]

You are in good company.

[@silviamunoz6863]

Hope you feel better listening to them... hope the time can soften what you feel... I don't know why I'm writing here, but, please, feel embraced by an unkown human being (me).

[@MrHenkfromHolland]

Hopefully the music will comfort you 😢

[@สุพัตราชูธีระกุล]

Sorry

[@davidlloyd14]

Lovely new intimate retelling of one of the most heartbreaking story songs ever recorded

[@alexanderw4u]

I hope my dad will never die, he is always there for me !

[@OHigginsPatriota]

¡Y mi madre!...😔 Lloraré mucho, mucho...😔

[@Konstantin_Hello_B.]

They are perfect! All three of them: song and two entertainers ❤❤❤

[@erikrichpoor1042]

I am grateful for growing up and growing old with his music. His voice still sounds young today.

[@Thetreeistall]

Bring me back to being a kid

[@bowwow3561]

I have been loving this song very long time now. Sad but very warm and true song. Love from Japan xxx

[@irishpatriotusa]

1978 - got my first cassette player for Christmas and the one tape I had was Gilbert. These songs have stuck with me since and will stay forever. Amazing how songs can transport us through time - I can see my house, my parents - frozen in time. Gilbert is an all time genius.

[@orangeandslinky]

I never could move when this song is playing.

[@georgesturdy7040]

Musical genius and a fellow Irishman ❤

[@Invernaewhere]

Today would have been my dads 82nd birthday he died 17 years ago and I still miss him . Gilbert O’Sullivan still a class act

[@chrisdelano6840]

Absolutely beautiful! I've just become alone "Naturally"

[@grahamhill2267]

Gilbert, Beautiful just beautiful! Such a wonderful arrangement and a fantastic guitar break! The lyrics mean so much to me at my juncture in life! It always makes me cry!

[@williamj.sheehan2001]

Yes indeed, Graham, the guitarist handled the backing, and especially the solo break, just beautifully!

[@jeffthompson4911]

Thank you Mr. Gilbert O'Sullivan and Mr. Bill Shanley..........been listening to Gilbert O'Sullivan forever....... 45's, LP's, Eight Track, Cassette, CD's, Streaming...........wow I am old Jeff Thompson Rockford Illinois

Me too and it Never gets old! Genius Wondeful Amazing! 🥰🤩

[@빛바랜놈]

I’ll remember you, every day I listen your song you’re good man

[@aldenteroguescambaiter8712]

His voice has not aged a bit! Same thing happened with Cat Stevens and Al Stewart. And this song is as timeless as ever. I love it when artists re-record their favorites (or ours).

[@brianreal1083]

A beautiful new rendition of a classic!

[@johnmadden8722]

Thank you 🙏 Gilbert, Just plain beautiful!

[@PhilippinesWalkingTour]

This man is a musical genius, and may he continue to entertain audiences as long as possible.

[@Inthemixmedia]

A classic will always be a classic

[@johngibson6597]

As one of my old mates would say 'He doesn't sing a song, he tells a story'. RIP Ian, sure your listening to Gilbert and Dire Straits wherever you are.

[@synovebohlin7662]

Still sounding sensational, Ray! ❤

[@flyingthroughtheair1]

Gilbert you're a phantastic musician since the 70's and so nice and friendly. Please come to 🇩🇪 (Stuttgart) again!

[@RalphDavis-qk2xy]

So sad and yet so comforting.

[@sarac.3259]

One of the most timeless songs I know. Beautiful. Loved the original and love this too. As I get older this song becomes even more poignant. 💕

[@sdanjohn]

That was really, really good. I remember when this came out. I was like 10. Loved it then, love it now.

[@kikotrafalgar]

A real masterpiece of all time music!

[@williamj.sheehan2001]

This song always "got me", as so many of my friends here have said. Another one that tugs at the heartstrings is "We Will." Such poignant imagery!

[@JrJVintage1956]

saw them twice on tour... fantastic combo!

[@robertmauro2230]

This has always been a song that I love but it will always draw an emotion in me that I can't control. I lost my mom in 1983 at 52 years young and I lost my dad in 2018 at 86 years old and when ever this song comes on there is no stopping the tears.

[@Ky6Stringer]

Awesome, Gilbert! Sounding pure and smooth.

Gilbert captures my Mum's grief perfectly

[@ATOMIKDOG23]

I am impressed to hear how good this sounds. I was around when he did the original song.

[@michaelkeim9556]

I remember this song from my childhood running around the house hearing it play on my parents radio. The best days

[@CubanoLA]

My father died of cancer in 1962, he was 30, my mother 27 and I was 3 years old. When I first heard that song in the 1970's I thought he was speaking to me. My mom passed about a month ago, and as the lyrics say "My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start With a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally

[@williamj.sheehan2001]

Bless you, Cubano. I think this song has special meaning to many, and has provided a way for us to grieve and hopefully to heal as best we can. It's a special song indeed.

[@martron1962]

One of thee most popular, and meaningful songs of the 70’s, I was a young lad when this song came about, I’ve loved it more and more ever since. ❤

[@danmeadows3859]

WOW. He’s still amazing. I have always identified with everything he wrote. It helped me get through some hard stuff in school.

[@seanhoward5562]

Great song, great playing and singing.

[@markalbrecht4074]

[@curaeus007]

One of the saddest and still most beautiful songs ever written.

[@janicev4862]

Beautiful, as always! Sounds just as it did years ago and now means more to me.😊

[@carolyncardone-dy5uu]

I wish she would come to the United States. I live on Long Island, New York, Nassau County would love to see him in concert.

[@nudnick]

He's toured the USA several times the last few years, including a number of shows in NYC.

[@adrianahomsen3607]

GRACIAS ❤ Por mantener tan divina canción, como si fuera la primera vez! Me encanta! 😊

[@tarekal-hakim4643]

He is a marvellous Artist. Still singing live brilliantly.

[@berniecosta348]

I never get sick of listening to this song. It truly is a masterpiece. It's one of my top 5 favorites. And let's not forget this performance. Executed so well between guitar and piano. And Gilbert can still sing it without any technical help. Love it.

[@TBKrugerrands]

This is simply perfection. It’s an amazingly well grafted song & the single is legendary but here with just vocal, piano & classical guitar it’s spellbinding. The guitar break is magical. Thank you 🙏

[@DavidElyBrown]

His voice is so much smoother now - wonderful.

[@justmeonlyme]

Thank you!

[@minomokwa744]

ALWAYS loved Gilbert's music. What a talented, unique Singer. ... still love your music. God bless you.

[@lebabouin7850]

argh 50 year old tears coming back. Living without knowing Go'S art is not really living, and that's not just words

[@haazieljasso6941]

FUN FACT Although the description emphasizes that this is the first re-recording of Alone Again since 1971, in reality this information is not entirely correct. And this is because in 1992 a re-recorded version for Japan called "Alone Again Present Version" was released and in fact it can be found here on KZbin.

[@daniellwijaya]

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 whomever What it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch At a church where people saying My God, that's tough, she stood him up No point in us remaining We may as well go home As I did on my own Alone again, naturally To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to, well, who wouldn't do The role I was about to play But as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God in His mercy Who, if He really does exist Why did He desert me? And in my hour of need I truly am, indeed Alone again, naturally It seems to me that there are more hearts Broken in the world that can't be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do? Alone again, naturally Now, looking back over the years And whatever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start With a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally

[@80erman1]

Thanks you Gilbert from Germany.

Fantastic sound 😊❤

[@stevenlake6293]

Thanks for the new post. You look and sound fantastic. Very much enjoyed it. One of the all time GREAT songs; definitely one of my life’s “soundtrack” tunes. Recently found out a fellow band mate is another fan. Just shared it. Got back “One of my favorite all time!!” I think we should cover it! Waiting for a “Clair” acoustic duo version. That would be welcomed for sure. Thanks again.

[@SpareRoomMusic12]

Can’t beat a bit of Gilbert. Fantastic.

[@eamonnmc]

Was at the concert in Cork this week. It was wonderful as always I sang all the songs throughout the concert. Looking forward to the next time you will be back in Cork.
