"Alone Once again (Naturally)" is a song past Irish vocaliser-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan. It was released in 1972 at the same time as, but non included on, the album, Back to Front. In full, the single spent half dozen weeks, not-consecutively, at No. 1 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Billboard ranked information technology as the No. 2 song for 1972. In Casey Kasem's American Superlative twoscore of the 1970s, "Alone Over again (Naturally)" ranked as the fifth most-popular song of the decade (Debby Boone'southward "You Light Upward My Life" was No. one). "Alone Again (Naturally)" also spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Easy Listening chart.[5] The track reached No. 3 in the UK Singles Nautical chart.[vi]

Lyrics [edit]

"Lonely Again (Naturally)" is an introspective ballad. In the first verse, the singer contemplates suicide after having been left "in the lurch at a church"; in the second, he wonders if in that location is a god; finally, he laments the decease of his parents. O'Sullivan has said the song is not autobiographical: his female parent was alive during its composition; 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 "Solitary Again (Naturally)" and said he couldn't believe a 21-year-former wrote information technology, but for me it was only one song I had written".[8] Neil Sedaka was similarly effusive in his praise for the song, stating equally he covered the song in 2020 that he wished that he himself had written the song considering its complexity was more typical of a human much older than 21.[nine] The song is included on O'Sullivan'south The Drupe Vest of Gilbert O'Sullivan anthology (2004) on the EMI record label. Big Jim Sullivan plays the guitar break in the original recorded version of the song.

Chart functioning [edit]

Copyright lawsuit [edit]

Grand Upright Music, Ltd 5. Warner Bros. Records Inc. , 780 F. Supp. 182 (S.D.North.Y. 1991), was a copyright case heard by the United states of america District Courtroom for the Southern District of New York. The example pitted singer/songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan against rapper Biz Markie subsequently Biz Markie sampled O'Sullivan's song "Alone Once more (Naturally)". The court ruled that sampling without permission can authorize as copyright infringement. The judgment changed the hip hop music industry, requiring that any future music sampling be preapproved past the original copyright owners to avoid a lawsuit.[26]

Maison Ikkoku [edit]

This song, along with another one of O'Sullivan'due south songs, "Get Downwardly", were featured equally the opening and catastrophe for episode 24 of the Japanese anime hit Maison Ikkoku. At the time, O'Sullivan was signed to production company Kitty Picture'south associated tape label, Kitty Records, which wanted to use the anime's popularity as a manner to promote the vocaliser's career in Japan. Co-ordinate to series manager Kazuo Yamazaki, the reason the songs were dropped afterward simply ane episode was that they were unpopular with viewers; due to copyright problems, they were not included on the English-language 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 past Rumiko Takahashi.

The vocal was also used as the ending theme for the 1986 live-activity Maison Ikkoku film, Flat Fantasy.

Notable cover versions [edit]

Many artists have covered the vocal. Among the more than notable are a version by Nina Simone, included every bit a bonus runway on the 1988 digital reissue of her 1982 album Fodder on My Wings; and a version by Lazlo Blight'southward frontman Chad Fischer, from the 2009 animated moving-picture show Ice Historic period: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Both versions feature substantially rewritten lyrics; Simone'south version savagely exhumes her troubled relationship with her late male parent, whereas Fischer'south 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]
