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 wish you all real "happiness" in your present❤

I was 11 in 1972. The words of this song hit me later in life. My father passed two weeks before my 38th birthday. His funeral was on the day before my birthday. It poured rain that whole day of the funeral, like the sky was crying with me. There's just no good time to lose someone you love.

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.

Clearly you haven’t actually spent any time exploring the music of the generations that came after you. It’s such an ignorant and pointless boast. As if you had anything to do with it anyway.

I had no closure and I'm still waiting for my hug. Here I am at 64 years old, grieving the greatest man I ever knew. Fortunately my Sweet Momma lived until I was 50.

There's so many of us. Orphaned later in life - just the way life is meant to be. If you're lucky, you will have so many great memories to cherish. I know I do, even when it wasn't all a bed of roses. But I'm truly grateful for what my parents gave me. 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. To feel sad about the loss. But remember: it's a good sign. The feeling tells you that life has worked out just the way it should. Count your blessings. And know that you're not alone. Naturally.

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! Thanks for the video of this young Gilbert,!

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 it clear to whoever Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch at a church Were 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 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 Oh, if he really does exist Why did he desert me 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 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

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, “”.
