Lyrics [edit]

"Alone Again (Naturally)" is an introspective ballad. In the commencement verse, the singer contemplates suicide later having been left "in the lurch at a church"; in the 2nd, he wonders if there is a god; finally, he laments the death of his parents. O'Sullivan has said the song is not autobiographical: his mother was alive during its limerick; O'Sullivan was 11 when his father, who was cruel to his mother, died, and he's said that he didn't know his father well.[7] O'Sullivan later commented "Neil Diamond covered "Alone Again (Naturally)" and said he couldn't believe a 21-year-former wrote it, merely for me it was just one song I had written".[8] Neil Sedaka was similarly effusive in his praise for the song, stating every bit he covered the song in 2020 that he wished that he himself had written the song because its complexity was more typical of a human much older than 21.[9] The song is included on O'Sullivan's The Drupe Belong of Gilbert O'Sullivan album (2004) on the EMI record label. Large Jim Sullivan plays the guitar break in the original recorded version of the vocal.

Maison Ikkoku [edit]

This song, along with another 1 of O'Sullivan'due south songs, "Go Downwards", were featured as the opening and ending for episode 24 of the Japanese anime hit Maison Ikkoku. At the time, O'Sullivan was signed to production visitor Kitty Pic's associated record label, Kitty Records, which wanted to use the anime's popularity as a manner to promote the singer's career in Japan. According to series director Kazuo Yamazaki, the reason the songs were dropped after only one episode was that they were unpopular with viewers; due to copyright bug, they were non included on the English-linguistic communication American release of the anime, replaced by the previously used Japanese theme songs. The anime was based upon the popular manga of the same name by Rumiko Takahashi.

The song was also used as the ending theme for the 1986 live-action Maison Ikkoku film, Apartment Fantasy.

Notable comprehend versions [edit]

Many artists take covered the vocal. Amid the more notable are a version by Nina Simone, included as a bonus track on the 1988 digital reissue of her 1982 anthology Provender on My Wings; and a version by Lazlo Bane's frontman Chad Fischer, from the 2009 animated pic Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Both versions feature essentially rewritten lyrics; Simone'southward version savagely exhumes her troubled relationship with her tardily father, whereas Fischer's version explores the unrequited desire of an acorn for the prehistoric squirrel who once chased it. Also in 2015, Diana Krall released a duet version with Michael Bublé on her album titled "Wallflower".[27]
