When you said it has an upbeat vibe, I said to myself, "just wait!"

That song is a tear jerker

Go listen to his song "All They Wanted To Say."

Song was a big hit back in the 70s, used to sing along to it. But damn the lyrics hit so much more powerful when you actually read them. Like you said, it must have been the upbeat sounding melody that softened the sorrow somewhat. 😳

Sweet sad love. Alone.

I appreciate your breaking this sad but incredible song down, no doubt, it's hard to tell what people are going through.

This song hits home for so many in different ways. For me my Fiancée had known had dated for years and where weeks from our wedding day when she passed away due to an undetected heart condition. This song just about sums it up to perfection. Don't let that depression hang on you however that is tormenting the one your loved ones sole and later they will be waiting to have words with you about how you chose pain in there Memory rather than to rejoice in it. Ho sure the hurt will still catch you but just look inward and see that look they give when you try to Push in a Pull to open because you're not paying attention or try to drive while still in park. Yup that look and know they Don't want you suffering for their loss they want you enjoying Life all the more for them. Bless and be well all and know God does not make bad things happen anymore then the good God made the Univers that you are in and just getting here you already beet the house odds at even the Shadiest back woods card game. So, rejoice in that, and the rest is Gravy. Bless and be all.

Exactly!

That's real life, not all sushines and rainbows, the question is how brave can you face it,, good luck bro. , there's a spark of light at the end of that tunnel, you ll make it, love you bro

I had forgotten this song. Thank you! Even though it made me cry, lol

I cry Every time I hear this song! I want to say that your reaction was Very heartfelt and Very Empathetic!! I can tell you have a good heart!! Great reaction! 👍🏿

Yes Ok Sceez that's life weirdly enough I am 65 now it's so weird people make the choices they have to make. And as you say young man you come on this Earth alone and you go alone.

I Love Gilbert O' Sullivan. I love this song because I can relate. I have never been shattered but I can only imagine how that feels

The ending of this song gets me emotional every time I hear it 😢 Beautiful lyrics,Beautiful melody

This song, Wildflower by Skylark and She’s Leaving Home by The Beatles are the saddest songs!!!

Sceezoramo, u rock.

Such a well crafted song. Check out "Clair" by Gilbert.

EXactly! The irony of the happy music and devasting lyric...makes for great music

Fantastic song gets me every time

Love/Loved this song in the day nephew 💙 🖤🖤🖤❤❤❤

The ability of this song to discourage the people it cheers up with the melody of this song is impressive.

Yes, the song was big in the 70's, but having been down a few roads now (67 next month) damn! The losses have been quite a few, including my husband at 48. I haven't heard this song in years, I'm so glad you reacted to it. Heartbreaking song, but you came across with some very insightful thoughts. But you are right about grabbing the bull by the horns, I mean, I'm old and wrinkled now, just last week I was 20!!!! How the hell did that happen?? Good song choice. Thanks for sharing.

I have always loved Gilbert and i have loved this song since my first hearbreak in 1974. I was cut to peices and took a long time to recover. I married him. He wasnt who he showed me when we were dating. It's devastating when the real person comes out. Your right when my dark thought are trying to break through i just keep smiling and no one knows. My second heart break was in 2012 when my soul mate died. I'm like his Mother in this song. I'm alone even though i have family all around me. I dont understand why God took him. I still love him. I still need him. I still miss him. There are days I do cry all day.

Thanks, Sceez! this is totally the saddest song I've ever heard.. and I LOVE it...

Marvelous orchestration , the song hits home for sure when you're older, the sadness of loss.

Wise words, young man. Loved your reaction

Very wise words!

I really like your reaction you know some people can't take the bull by the horn they just can't very intelligent comment. I have loved that song since I was 14...yep

Yo dude you made me laugh so hard, several times in this terribly sad song. THANK YOU FOR THIS REACTION. Really... You have no idea. I was maybe 13 when this song came out and I loved it but it's tragic. I had lots of fun watching this with you!

I appreciated the way you personally related to and empathized with this great sad song. God bless you.

Great reaction ,this hits harder when you’re older for sure .

The original,,,, very nice

Thank you for your reflections, it is a song to remind folks that there are people suffering around us, and the need to be kind and help out ❤

I love that it was able to touch you deep, shows your a passionate person.

He was only 21 years old when he wrote this song.

This was a GREAT reaction video.. Very sad song and i can tell it touched you.. Stay up G

Beautiful song ❤

Sometimes when you decide it's all over, you are happy because you have resolved the issue.

Nice to see you liked this song...

Much love to you Sceez...from Bhip and Dbo😙East Tennessee!

Really great reaction! 🙂 You have a new sub

Memories of a special time growing up...he had a couple story telling songs

Man, a lot of people dig that song

Yeah I remember when this first came out.

So true about appearances can be deceiving, for example no one was expecting it when Robin Williams committed suicide. Every one was like how could anyone this funny be so sad and have such problems

I don't know if this is the happiest sad song or if that title belongs to Singin' The Blues by Guy Mitchell from the fifties. It too was #1 for a long long time.

His songs aren't all gloom and doom-Happiness Is Me And You, Claire and Get Down were his other hits.

ALONE AGAIN...NATURALLY

you gon cry

This isn’t mental health issues. This is the original “She belong to the streets” theme song.

Some black American done a rap version, it's pretty good

Guilbert O'Sullivan/Claire😊

Biz Markie track sounds great too

It's a beautiful song, though. The human condition spelled out: we are all one. Love to all.

It's a very Irish song, Fatalistic and accepting at the same time. It's universal. The upbeat tempo is how we try to get on with life, what else can we do? Around the same year, the great American singer/songwriter Jackson Browne, recorded his disillusion -- just as heartbreaking. The Pretender by Jackson Browne. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIaDrZNmhtm1gZM.html

I saw another reaction (name withheld) who listened to the first two verses with a smile on her face talking about how happy this song was. I left that reaction and unsubscribed.

Go old-school listen to Smokey tears of a clown

Very triggering song. Peace and love to us all.

Ray (Gilbert) was anything but a one hit wonder. One of the greatest lyricists of his generation. There are so many hits and wonderful songs, but if you're not familiar with his work I suggest you start with "Nothing Rhymed ". From a fellow Waterford and Deise man.

You talk too much and when you do talk it's stupid ignorance. Shameful.
