    I'm 60 years old and remember distinctly hearing this song over and over when it first came out. Even as a kid a realized the genius in its lyrics and music. I've always thought it was every bit as good as anything Lennon & McCartney ever wrote.
    Now I see and hear this young person singing it and the future of this world seems a bit less bleak. That someone so young would choose to know this song and get such obvious pleasure from it is a quite singular thing.
    So here I am, a 60 year old man and, respectfully, my hat's off to you, Sammy.

    Sammy, I want to compliment you on your heart-touching rendition of this Gilbert O'Sullivan classic. I’m an Anglican Priest working with victims of child-trafficking in Eastern Europe. I have 22 children in my home in Transylvania, Romania, and 31 children in my home in The Republic of Moldova. Music plays an essential part in both healing and the transformative process. Because you are in the age group as ‘my’ children, your contribution does far more. As I shared your recording this past week during our ‘Rise’ classes, (as in rise above all that has happened), my staff and I were amazed by how strongly the children connected with you. They have asked that we not only sing Alone Again during the next class, but that we also use the lyrics in our English classes, so they can better understand the nuances of the song. I am honoured to do this.
    Music invokes emotions which are shared globally. It does not matter what language you speak, what religion you follow, or what your political affiliations are. Music acts as a set of wings to carry us wherever we choose to go, and it allows us to carry love for others with us.
    Sammy, please keep playing, keep singing, and most of all keep loving life with passion. Thank you for making my children smile as I shared your performance.
    May all your life journeys be ones of discovery! Father Bill Haymaker+ ProjectNewLife.org BigWorldSmallBoat.Blogspot.com PNLBudesti.Blogspot.com DogDogma.Blogspot.com PNLExploitedChildren.Blogspot.com PNLMoldovaPrisons.Blogspot.com
    ps; I am utterly perplexed as to why anyone could possibly have given a 'thumb's down' to your song. It's either jealousy, or perhaps eyes clouded by tears.

    Sometimes classic songs should be left alone because it’s not possible to do them justice. That’s not true in your case. You absolutely nailed it 100%.
    Like many commenters of my age group (59) I have loved this song (and all other GO’S songs) since it was first released and your version is soothing, sweet and moving but at the same time there’s a cheekiness in your face that is so endearing. I hope your talent gets the exposure you deserve. Thankyou

    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 it clear to whoever
    What it's like when you're shattered
    Left standing in the lurch at a church
    Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
    "She stood him up"
    "No point in us remaining"
    "We may as well go home"
    As I did on my own
    Alone again, naturally
    To think that only yesterday
    I was cheerful, bright and gay
    Looking forward to who wouldn't do
    The role I was about to play?
    But as if to knock me down
    Reality came around
    And without so much as a mere touch
    Cut me into little pieces
    Leaving me to doubt
    Talk about God in His mercy
    Who if He really does exist
    Why did He desert me?

    Lyrics:
    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 it clear to whoever
    Wants to know what it's like When you're shattered
    Left standing in the lurch at a church
    Were people saying, My God, that's tough
    She stood him up
    No point in us remaining
    We may as well go home
    As I did on my own
    Alone again, naturally
    To think that only yesterday
    I was cheerful, bright and gay
    Looking forward to who wouldn't do
    The role I was about to play
    But as if to knock me down
    Reality came around
    And without so much as a mere touch
    Cut me into little pieces
    Leaving me to doubt
    Talk about, God in His mercy
    Oh, if he really does exist
    Why did he desert me
    In my hour of need
    I truly am indeed
    Alone again, naturally
    It seems to me that
    There are more hearts broken in the world
    That can't be mended
    Left unattended
    What do we do
    What do we do
    Alone again, naturally
    Looking back over the years
    And whatever else that appears
    I remember I cried when my father died
    Never wishing to hide the tears
    And at sixty-five years old
    My mother, God rest her soul
    Couldn't understand why the only man
    She had ever loved had been taken
    Leaving her to start
    With a heart so badly broken
    Despite encouragement from me
    No words were ever
    And when she passed away
    I cried and cried all day
    Alone again, naturally
    Alone again, naturally

    Marvelous!!! Gilbert O'Sullivan's recording made a distinct impression on me when it was originally released in 1972, but I have to say that I love your version (let's not call it "cover) even more. It's more intimate, like chamber music, and you and your acoustic guitar allow the words, rhythm, and heart-felt storytelling to shine. This is the true poetry in the singer/songwriter tradition. And though you didn't write the song, you INHABIT IT. Thank you for this marvelous gift of soul and spirit and, yes, love.

    Wow! Beautifully done. The fact that someone as young as yourself, would cover such a dark, yet masterfully written song, is impressive. Gilbert, asks the most important question in this song, "what do we do. What do we do." Unfortunately... We can't do anything. It's a decision, that once made by the individual, is final! Once again great job! Wonderfully done!
