THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
111-Gilbert O’Sullivan-Alone Again(Naturally.)
1972-Number 3 single.
Best Bit-At 1.53.Should he receive our sympathy and commiserations? Or should he ‘Man Up?’
The lyrics of ‘Alone Again(Naturally’) pull no punches and come straight to the point.It starts with the narrator contemplating suicide after being left at the alter after his bride deserted him,and then goes on to tell about the death of his parents.O’Sullivan(see also best songs 949) has said that the song is not autobiographical as he did not know his father who died when he was eleven and his mother was still alive at the time the song was written.When Neil Diamond covered the song in 2010 he said he couldn’t believe a 21 year old wrote it.
In 1991 O’Sullivan went to court to sue American comedian and Rapper Biz Markie who used an unauthorised sample from this song in his track ‘Alone Again’ which appeared on Markie’s Album ‘I Need A Haircut.’The judge made a landmark ruling in O’Sullivan’s favour ruling that the rapper’s unauthorised sample was in fact theft.From that moment on artists now have to clear samples or be subject to costly lawsuits.
‘Talk about God in his mercy,oh if he really does exist,why did he desert me.’
