SO EYE OPENING!! GILBERT O'SULLIVAN - ALONE AGAIN (REACTION) 

This is one of the most beautiful sad songs ever written

This song is genius. The lyrics set to the whimsical melody makes for one of the all-time greats.

This was an enormous hit when I was in high school, Grammy nominations, the whole ball game. It made us cry then, it makes me cry now.

I am very glad you guys listened to the lyrics. So many songs back in the day were as much about the poetry as they were about the music.

50 years ago (1972) this song was #1. A song for the ages. It's not sad- it's healing. We will all take our turn dealing with these very sad scenarios. No one leaves this world unscathed.

Now how about a feel good Gilbert song? "Claire". It's so sweet!

Gilbert is a genius writer.In an interview I believe he said he merely put himself in the position of some one who felt this way.That’s genius.This song gets me every time.Great reaction.Thank you!!!!

Now do his song Claire!!! It’s a song about his little God daughter and his babysitting experience you HAVE to know the story behind that one because people had dirty minds and was thinking it was about something bad but it’s a sweet song.

I Raised Myself Since I Was 9 Years Old,, This Song Would Be Released 1 Year Later & I Truly Related To It.

This song has always made me cry . I was around 6 when it was released in the U.S. and today at 56 I am still crying.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written that slowly rips your heart out of your chest.

This is one song that every time I sing it, I still choke up through it. Its so simple, but deep and real

Gilbert was an incredible song writer,never really got the praise he deserved ❤❤

He is not alone. He has millions of fans who love him and his music, me for one. I grew up with his music and have almost all of his albums. Interesting fact, I first heard this particular song when I was in the Russian (then Soviet) Army. I did not know much English, but even so the song touched the strings of my very soul. Thank you for your reaction and God Bless!

Nothing rhymed ( with lyrics ) - Gilbert O' Sullivan . A masterpiece with incredible lyrics. Amazed hardly anyone has reacted to this emotional song . Give it a go

Gilbert’s song “Claire” is one most are recommending and I would agree.

G o S was such a poet

AN ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR,, SMITH "BABY IT'S YOU"..A TRUE TIMELESS CLASSIC.

This song touches & reaches all generations ❤

I'm now 63 years old and this was a hit in the UK when I was at school. Gilbert was a brilliant singer songwriter. I think you would love his song "Nothing Rymed". Great reaction guys, thank you.

Wow, another song I grew up listening to. As a child, I never listened to the words as much as I did the tune and the vibe. I loved the song, because I knew it was a good song. Honestly, I was reacting to it the way y’all were. It’s a sad song, but it’s the truth. I’ve been divorced twice and a third relationship, all of which were abusive. I am now single! I lost my mother and my father in 2018. I don’t have any children. I have multiple sclerosis and have been on disability since I was 40 years old. Life has changed quite a bit. However, it’s up to me to feel happy or sad. I love this song, but it’s not one I’d listen to every day. I’m so glad that y’all were able to react to it. Luv y’all 💕

I'm sitting here crying over a song that I haven't heard since I was a kid. It touched me deeply then and even more so now, hearing those beautiful lyrics!

Still admiring this amazing song what a great voice and nice melody march 2024 ❤

A song from my childhood, liked and sung. After 50 years, I understand much more the emotions and meaning of the song. Life happens and there are broken hearts every day.

I can never get through this song without crying.

One of the most beautiful and saddest songs ever written!

Loved this from the day it was released. Still brings a tear to my eyes.

heavy and honest lyrics...but it is how you feel when you are truly grieving. However, I do know God has never left me tho. Been through too much and I am still here by any miracles and God's mercy:) I love his honesty tho ...this is true song writing

I loved listening to this late at night in my room when I had gotten my heart broken again. So young and thought I would never hurt worse than that. If only that was as hard as it would ever get. My Soul Mate passed 9 years ago. That trumped every other hurt I had ever had. Still does.

Beautiful BEAUTIFUL SONG 🎵 🎵🎵🎵🎵 Even though It’s a very sad song also. But is definitely BEAUTIFUL 👍👍👍👍👍👍 💙💙💙💙💚💚💚💚💜💜💜

You guys are soooo cool. Every time I see you've reacted something I head right over. As we say in Texas, Y'all be safe.

Most everyone goes through at least parts of this song. It is a beautiful song.

Straight up sad, sad song. Great reaction to a great song. Also try Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks. I believe you'll love that also. Love you two. Peace

Still gets me to this day brilliant song🎤🙏👍🏼😞❤️

A truly poignant and moving reaction, but because the song starts out so quickly with the ultimate response of suicide, you understandably didn't have a chance to emotionally respond to these initial lyrics. They make the song even more tragic: "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 clear to whoever What it's like when you're shattered..."

🙌🙌🙌 great reaction as always… love y’all.

Love Gilbert love this beautiful song and love you guys. Thanks for this

My favourite Gilbert O'Sullivan song is "Claire". I loved it when I was a little girl and named my daughter after it. Take a listen - it's beautiful.

You guys..... loved this song since childhood and it has the same affect on me as it did when I was a child.

Great song by a great irish man he was super

You guys need to check out the video of "The Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics. A very meaningful song that I believe you will like.

Thank you for reviewing this song. It has been my one favorite for 40 plus years.

Man this song is so amazing and hits home…

One of the most gifted songwriters of his or any other era,A POWERFULL LYRICIST, LISTEN TO ANOTHER CLASSIC BY HIM CLAIR, THIS SON OF IRELAND IS A MUSICAL MASTERCLASS

LOVE Gilbert . This is such a great song. More please

Music gives voice to every experience and every emotion. Here to the tragic view of life--with a light, lilting melody, no less.

Hauntingly beautiful song.

This song always came to mind after a breakup. My last break up was 2017. I have been single since. Not sure I can date again or if I even want to. I think my heart is broken beyond repair. I wrote a poem about it.

I loved Gilbert O’Sullivan

How could you not shed a teer listening to this. Ty 🥲

One of my favorite songs we used to sing in 6 grade music class in 1973.

Bendita niñez y juventud años 70 y 80...

Simple poignant lyrics that bring a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye of all people who have lost a loved one, absolutely nails this emotion.

You both are the best, keep your love strong.

an uplifting melody ...with devastating lyrics

A light class song but with a very heavy meaning. With some excellent guitar playing. Good reaction you two, Greetings From Down Under. Listen to his song "Clair", that will put a smile on you both, the laugh at the end is magic.

That was such a beautiful review. There is another beautiful heart touching song I hope Mel and Shawn will review. It's called, Everything I Own, by the group called, Bread. It is such a beautiful warm-hearted song.

One of my 1st BF's favs. Reminds me of him. Thanx for the memory!

I'm never "alone". Sad so many feel this way. May the peace that surpasses all understanding, be with you.

This song was released when i was so young. I remembered the first time i heard it and i liked the melody and his voice unknowing what it was about. Then when i grew older and heard it again i was in shock about the lyrics and said to myself this is real life. How much time passed since i realized the greatness of this song. And still one of my favorite ever. It still reminds me the first time i heard it and exactly where i was. Good memories, after all.

U're alone again, after the day is done, naturally. Alone with ur own thoughts. Love u guys.

About the most real reaction ever. Thanks!

Thanks, kids - this song almost always makes me cry - but in a good way - so beautiful!

This song could reduce the toughest man to tears. I heard it and I couldn't stop crying.

Upbeat music to a very sad story. Love you guys.You brighten my day.

The real title of the song is "Alone Again Naturally". Huge hit in the 70's. Another song you should check out: Claire. It's about his little daughter. I'm surprised guys that so far, you haven't heard of the new genius singer Angelina Jordan. She's been blowing minds since she was 7 and today she's 15, 16 next January. Check her covers among the 150 + she's done. And if you are in anyway jazz fans, she's the one for you.

I promise myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top Will throw myself off at 62 years old i'm still speechless at these four lines.

It's so bright and cheerful and the lyrics are just a gut punch of pain.

I have always loved this song so much 🎶🎵

Love this song and still a tear will drop when I listen to this🤫 But HEY we all meet again and never alone 😎 Australia 💕 Christina

50 years later and moving another generation to tears , genius !

It's life's experiences in all our lives, but the tune is beautiful in it's own right! Have you listened to 'Nothing Rhymed' ? absolutely stunning lyrics !

Your a beautiful couple guys,we all love yous

This really is a beautiful song. I can empathize with every word .I just lost the only since love I ever had in my life. My husband died Aug. 5th 2022. I am truly alone.

I admire you more as I watch more reactions. You are good caring people. Lost my dad when I was 23...that was 33 years ago. My mom passed 12/10 this year. They were soulmates. They're together again.

Cry when I watch this masterpiece ❤️👍🎸🎶🎤

Excellent reaction video. You "got it" all the way.

Seeing this singer from my childhood tomorrow

I swear this has to be one of the saddest songs I've ever heard, but every word spoken is so true. It used to come on the radio frequently and was quite the hit!

Great song I still play..Sad thing about losing everyone around you. you get used to it. you get closer to God.🙏🏻 Alone, not lonely 😃🎸🎵Song has a lot of meanings to a lot of people

This is a very honest song that I think every human can relate too.

I love this song.

Love your reaction it hits me in the heart to

This song makes me cry every time. Every single time. There's a few that can touch me as deep as this one can.

Listen to his song Claire

How lovely is this song ? Beautifully written , played and sung … nuff said 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Beautiful.

Such a sad, sad song.

You both are so cute, much Love, xo

Can't believe he just made me cry again.

Brautiful song

Best played through without breaks…then go back and explore the song paying particular attention to its strong qualities I.e. the music, and the lyrics

Great song name for the Ravens after that lost last night 😔

understand this song from time to time

we are never alone we have the Love of God his grace, mercy and hope in Christ.

The genius of this song is that the melody gets in your head and the words go to your heart....and it won't leave

Beautiful song but oh so sad.

First song I vividly remember. Great song. Think it was the second best song of the year. Roberta Flack first time ever I saw your face, I think, beat it out.
