If you ever feel alone, come to the comment section of this video and see that we all have each other. None of us are ever truly alone. Love this song, so sweet and melancholy. I used to hear this on the radio and try to fumble through it on my piano. I hope if you are reading this comment you know that you are not alone. May God bless and comfort you all.

May be the word "happy" is not the right one to describe the real emotion this song can arise, but the thing is that when you are getting old even sad but beautiful songs like this can make you happy, because you realize that at that time you were really happy being surrounded by your family and friends and also neighbours that I in the meantime have unfortunately passed away.

I was born is 69. I was deeply moved by this song. My dad passed at the age of 61. I was only 38. Like you and so many, I felt lost and alone. What comforts me is the universality. Not one person is not affected by loss. "Want do we do?". Collectively. No one is immune to pain. Sure that doesn't minimize your own grief, but instead makes you cognizant others may be better equipped to comfort the mourners or those experiencing grief as they were themselves equipped to handle it and now can help another. Bless you. And, God never left His alone. Hugs.

I understand completely. My amazing Father died when I was 11 years old, in 1975. My Mom and Dad were 42 years old when he passed away from a sudden Heart Attack. I dreamed about his passing 3 days before it actually happened. My Mom fell apart and couldn't even dial our push button phone. I had to handle the whole thing, which is what I did in my dream. God truly prepared me for what I had to do and I'm grateful for it. Four years later, the last dream I had of him, he said, I have to go now. He hugged me and disappeared. Fast forward to 2023, I had an NDE, and I got to see my Dad, and his Parents, my wonderful Grandparents. Dad smiled at me, walked up to me, and spun me around and I came back. Not my time, but just seeing them even briefly, did me a world of good. It was indescribable, but so amazing. I miss all 3 of them, and the pain of losing them has never left me. I was just too young. However knowing I will get to spend eternity with them in Heaven, gives me such great peace.

I try to pass those many good things on to my children - just the way life is meant to be, if you're lucky enough to be blessed with children. It's allright to mourn. To miss your parents.

I was a little girl when this song came out, I was a teenager in the eighties and light simple pop and rock was my thing. As an adult I started broadening my musical tastes,of course,and I can whole heartedly say nothing beats the music styles and the songs from the seventies. Songs told stories,some were catchy,some were intense,some were sad ,but 99 per cent were well crafted and you could feel there was talent and hard work behind. Please show me any of that in any of the lame tunes you hear now. Gilbert O Sullivan,like Tod Rudgren,Scott Mckenzie, Brian Protheroe or Al Stewart wrote some of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to, I'm so glad we have Spotify or KZbin to keep enjoying them and to discover dozens of others who belonged in that glorious decade and are there for us to discover and listen to!

This song so deeply touches the heart. It's beautiful. Gilbert O'Sullivan, such a remarkable talent.
Love this song, didn’t understand in my teens, in the 70s… but after life caught up w me…I really understand.. so darn sad.. 2024…

This song is sooo evocative poignant and Irish. It's been a landmark through my life. I love it so much.The Irish have a sadness and a joy that is just unmatched.

Was Gilbert also Irish? I loved this song and also Clair … but when it was a hit I was really small, (9) , and so didn’t know much about him … I knew that ‘Alone again naturally’ was a song that touched suicide & loss , because when I lost my sibling to suicide, it had great meaning to me 😢 🥰

I am 78 and my wife of 45 years passed away 5 years ago. She was an angel, she wouldn't even let me kill an insect. We added a phrase to our wedding vows "Until we meet in Heaven". I miss her so terribly. Some old songs are hard to listen to. I can never listen to "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro. Bless everyone who has lost a loving spouse.

My husband died June 8 and today is my 61st birthday. Even with my children, other family, and friends, I am once again alone naturally. Over the last couple of years we haven’t had the best of times in our 39 year marriage, I have so many mixed emotions right now; I wish I could have him back. I pray he’s out of whatever physical/emotional pain he was experiencing.

Every time I hear this played (usually on SXM--The Bridge channel) I stop, even if driving and listen. I cry every. single. time. I married my college sweetheart in 1972. We didn't stay together, but hearing songs from then always makes me think of him again; reminded once more that we were so young and immature. . .

Jim Valvano the North Carolina State basketball coach who passed from cancer said there are three things to do to have a full day. Number one is to laugh to find humor in every day things. Number two is to cry. They can be tears of joy or of sorrow. Number three is to make time to be deep in thought. If you do those three things in a day that's a full day!!

I remember hearing this tune being played quite frequently back in the 1970s. I always thought it sounded like a bright, cheerful, upbeat type of a tune all of these years, until I listened to the lyrics, just today. I can’t believe how depressing those lyrics are. And that “kid” was only 21 years old when he wrote that stuff. So, what did a 65 year old man do after listening to about the saddest song in history? Like the tune says, “”.
