@loughneagh: There’s something quietly devastating about Alone Again (Naturally). Not because it tries to be dramatic… but because at some point, most people finally realise he was telling the truth. When you’re younger, it sounds sad. Later on, it sounds familiar. And one day, it sounds like somebody you knew. Released in 1972, Gilbert O’Sullivan turned loneliness, disappointment, and emotional exhaustion into one of the defining soft rock songs of its era — reaching No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No.3 in the UK. Did this song always sound this lonely… or did life make you hear it differently? #GilbertOSullivan #AloneAgainNaturally #70sMusic #SoftRock #SongsThatStillHurt
