ABOUT the song:
"Alone Again (Naturally)" is a song by Irish singer--songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan. It was released in 1972, and in total spent six weeks, non-consecutively, at #1 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In Casey Kasem's American 'Top 40 of the 1970s', "Alone Again (Naturally)" was #5. "Alone Again (Naturally)" also spent six weeks at number one on the Easy Listening chart [1]. The track reached #3 in the UK Singles Chart.[2]
It is an introspective ballad, starting with the singer telling of his plans to commit suicide after being left at the altar, 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.
