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.

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.

More than half a century old, and this song keeps being so wonderful as the first day

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 KZread 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 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 was 11 in 72 and this song would play on the radio. It always takes me back.

I Was 15 when this song came out and still love it in 2024

Iraq in 2003 and Afghanistan in 2013. I've never felt so alone and empty in all my life. We didn't get by "day by day"...it was "one second after the next and one breath after the next" until it all slowly added up to a year and we could go home. I was surrounded by thousands of other GIs going through the same deep, dark depression in a shit hole eight thousand miles from home. For those of you who've never experienced something like this, you have no right to ever criticize combat veterans.

Maravillosa canción. Era un adolescente cuando la escuché la primera vez y me impactó.

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, “”.

There is no happy ending in life for anybody in this depressing song.

Those were the years when songs lyrics were deep!👍👍

This man was a genius, loved hearing his songs when I was a kid

You mother didn't die until you were 62. That's a long time that you weren't alone. Sorry for your husband's passing, but most elderly couples don't die at the same time. Your husband was with you for a long time.

death frees us from loneliness and sadness the main thing is to die with Christian dignity

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.

So glad I have lived through the times when the best songs have been written.

I was born in 1998, I think i was born in the wrong era, i can't feel these modern music. These old songs have the real lyrics. Ohh.. i wish i could go back in time before i was born in this time...😢 I'm feeling it... Sorry if i make no sense. . .

There is a timelessness in Raymond's music that resonates with the sense of eternity in every human heart.

Yeah..these current songs have explicit lyrics and the artists think that's a great song...but it's not. These songs of yesterdays gone by have more meaning. Especially this song. It ended up being the #2 song of the year, bested by the Roberta Flack song The First Time I Ever I Saw Your Face.

Que afortunado soy,volver a escuchar este hermoso tema en el 2024❤😊

Grandma just got placed in an old folks home because of her memory getting worse and her being unable to live alone, she told us she wished her own mother, who she doesn't remember passed over 40 years ago would visit. Breaks my heart to think of her missing someone who can not visit her.

I remember I cried when my father died…😢

Una montaña rusa de emociones, melodía, letra, interpretación..es cerrar los ojos y viajar al pasado de una forma que solo pocas canciones pueden lograr...solo esta obra está a años luz de todos los regetoneros juntos, jamás, de todos los jamás llegarán siquiera a comparación alguna.

As a songwriter I’m constantly studying well crafted song like this. It’s the bridge that really has me impressed though

A true classic is timeless. This is timeless. Thank You Gilbert O` Sullivan. Beatles manager George Martin said they would have been proud of any of those beauties that Gilbert O`Sullivan released.

I was ten when I heard this song and always wondered how it seemed to slightly older people.

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 listened to this at 12 yrs old and it is a sad song, sometimes my eyes would tear up. Beautiful melody and voice

Love this song,I do hold back tears,my husband mother and father have all gone so it resonates with me,I am only 61❤

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.

CUANDO LA MÚSICA ERA ARTE, PASIÓN, EMOCIÓN Y SENTIMIENTO. AHORA LA MÚSICA PERDIÓ SU ALMA.

Story of my life.

Ché meraviglia la ballavo con la mia fidanzata. Di allora. Grazie mille.

I have never forgotten this song. It forms a part of my life.

I was 13 when this song came out. I was “alone” then (never felt loved as a child) & I’m alone now - 52 years later. The difference now is that I’m happy being alone. Life is strange. Ppl are strange. There is solace in solitude. ❤

“Ruth’ in the Bible ( only four or five pages ) is about a women who lost everyone and everything and wanted to be alone, but her daughter in law ( Ruth) would not give up on her. I understand how you feel ( really) but stories like this are so up lifting they renew your spirit and belief again in people. ( yes I know it’s a difficult one) Ruth really does inspire. God bless you.

I really feel alone, I do have people around me but not one true friend, Sad really for a lifetime of work ❤❤

The lyrics means nothing until you feel the grief Again and again until there is no one left Alone again, naturally

This song brings slot of fond memories of growing up in the 60s I really enjoyed this type of music 😊😊

One of my favourite songs back in 72

It’s amazing when he sings I understand every word, but when I hear him speak (from my American perspective) I struggle to understand what he’s saying.

Part of loss is the realisation that, despite our personal experiences of grief and pain, there are so many out there who have similar stories like ours… Songs like this are a release valve. The pain may not always lessen so cherish those who you love and love those who you cherish❤

Miss you now as much as I ever did Carly who was suddenly taken from us aged 6 years old - my beautiful daughter you’re still in my heart…❤1985-1992

Belle chanson. 18 ans en 1972. Les meilleures années. ❤
