@johnbattles1002 3 года назад

Please react to Gilbert's beautiful, sweet song "Claire." Claire was the little daughter of O'Sullivan's manager (or producer, I forget which) for whom Gilbert O'Sullivan wrote the song. Gilbert would often babysit her for her Dad, and they formed a sweet bond of friendship. Sadly, many people of today's overly-suspicious mindset have condemned the song and Gilbert as "creepy" or worse, not understanding the context nor the time period in which it was written (I'm 65 and remember it quite well). But, in reality, that was not the case between them. It was a wholesome relationship, as Claire herself has publicly stated in her defense of her long-time friend. The video you should react to of him singing "Claire" has actual outdoor home-film footage (filmed by her Dad, I believe) in which Gilbert and Claire are having fun outside, chasing each other around the yard, jumping on a trampoline, etc. Endearing scenes and an equally charming song!

If you want to see what I mean, listen to 'No Surprises' or 'Knives Out' by Radiohead sometime. The only other Gilbert O'Sullivan songs I remember are 'Claire' and 'Get Down'. 'Get Down' is a fun upbeat song, whereas 'Claire' was a nice ballad. Thanks for posting! Be well, stay safe. Peace from SF

Unless you've heard this song before, and know before hand that it's a very sad song, you would definitely be in for a shock. Partly because the tune is upbeat, and almost bounces along. But when you stop to actually hear the words...yeah. Whoever the song was about had DEFINITELY suffered some major heart ache in his young life. Unfortunately, that IS life; it happens all too often to so many people. I've always like this song, despite it's sad demeanor. If I haven't said it before, Jayvonne, let me say it now; I appreciate it SO MUCH that you really DO listen to the words of these songs. Most people just skim over and only hear every few words throughout. But you really do listen, and it shows in your reaction. We saw, immediately, in your face when he said that he had thought about jumping from that "nearby tower." You feel things very deeply through the song, and that's so awesome. That's the reason we enjoy your channel so much. It's so great to see the expression on someone's face for that very reason. Another GREAT reaction. Take care.

Janis Ian - “At 17” is another song that gets you right in the feels.

I can not tell you how many times, I've listened to that song in the past! I love the Midnight Special version, best. The expression(s) on her face, really make her performance even better. I've thought to recommend that same song to Jay, a while back, but my stuff is normally out voted, or so it seems. I hope he reacts to that song, for you know his expressions, will..... TELL ALL, from listening to the words in which she sings, from her life as a young girl.

@turdferguson400 3 года назад

Lisa C Nothing is out-voted here, love. JV just has a hell of a lot of requests to get through. Between the Lines is one of the first albums I ever owned. I’ve requested Janis too. We just have to sit tight and enjoy the other songs he plays. Love to you, and please stay safe. Xox💖

@byronmitchell3784 3 года назад

I remember this, was on the verge of being the number one hit for that year. GILBERT O'SULLIVAN, and "ALONE AGAIN NATURALLY" A VERY MOVING DEEP THOUGHT OF TUNE ... LOVED HIS VOICE, WELL DONE JAYVEE...✌

@markcianciolo9384 День назад

A song as rare as a 30 karat diamond. It transcends the world of commercial music. Money. Girls shouting in the audience. Grammy Awards. And all the hoopla of celebrity. It has the sincerity and power of feeling of a great lyric poem from a poet like Keats. And, Jayvee, you got it immediately. I watched your face as you connected as the song unfolded.

@elkalabaw7665 3 года назад

we sang this song so casually when we were kids because it was all over the radio. only when we got a little older did we notice how sad the damm lyrics really were.

Awwww I remember this gem of course I was just a kid.

This is one of the saddest songs ever written, lol. How I long for such honesty (and talent) from songwriters today.

@futureshock5641 3 года назад

Not quite, 'This is life' by Black tops it IMO agree with you on that front

@brucezar9517 3 года назад

Agreed. Plus the juxtaposition of an lol at the end of that sentence was a 👍 kick.

@sassybatchz 3 года назад

The fact that you say honesty is kind of funny considering he made this story up for this song. The song is beautiful and he is talented, but is it totally necessary to shit on newer music just to elevate older music? There's a lot of amazing and talented new artists out there that are heavily inspired by older artists. Just because you haven't heard them on the radio, doesn't mean they don't exist.

Another sad song which is true by the way, penned by Phil Coulter about his sister is ' The Shores of the Swilly' sung by Sinead O'Connor. Well worth a listen, it's on RU-vid.

@bassesatta9235 2 года назад

honesty? the story is made up which is fine, he wrote it as a 21 year old which is impressive alone. as for sad songs, i like leonard cohen for that. his is just extremely depressing at times

@deirdremacnamara9885 3 года назад

The legend Gilbert o Sullivan. He is so talented. Thank you. 🇮🇪🎶

So sad but so beautifully written. The words floating out of the heart. It makes you pause to think about how bad things can be. But smile because there is always hope.

@patrickmiller1834 2 года назад

It’s a timeless song. Sometimes it brings me close to tears as I relate it to me life. The lyrics are deep. His voice wales brilliantly. It was a number one in the US.

@lindastevenson9717 3 года назад

Takes me right back to my childhood and watching him on Top Of The Pops. Even as a child I felt sad listening to this. Claire was my favourite song.

"Alone Again (Naturally)" is an introspective ballad, starting with the singer contemplating suicide after being left at the altar after his bride deserted him, and then telling about the death of his parents. O'Sullivan has said that the song is not autobiographical, as he did not know his father (who died when O'Sullivan was 11) very well, and that his father had mistreated his mother. Also, his mother was still alive when the song was written.

@chigginbotham2425 3 года назад

I was so blessed to be a teenager when this song was first released. It still has a wonderful place in my memories (along with other great titles at that period). Jayvee, so glad you listened and really got into the meaning of his lyrics.

@michaelyork4554 3 года назад

I remember hearing this on AM radio when it first came out, I was 9, and it was so sad, but as an adult I found out that he just made up the lyrics for the effect. His Mother was still alive and His Father left both of them when He was young. In an interview, He talks about it, and comments that as a singer/songwriter it's his job to evoke emotion, and let each person experience the lyrics for themselves.

Huge hit in 1972. I remember it well. Great song beautifully done. No one leaves this world unscathed. Tears poured down the faces of most of the 125K that viewed it here. For those that shed no tears- tick tock. You will.

@franciscorodriguezjr.2305 Год назад

I was 17 years old when it first came out and I'm 68 years old now and listening it on your video made me cry, and it looked like you wanted to shed some tears yourself. HAHAHA! Keep up the good work.

@thomascanfield9165 3 года назад

It's weird that he made this up when he was 21, and this fictional sad song was #1 on the singles chart for 6wks in 72'! People must have thought it was a real story.

@be6715 3 года назад

Your reaction when you realized it wasn't the usual pop song was spot on! This is a song you have to listen to multiple times to understand. And it is amazing that all of it is thought up - he didn't experience it personally.
