Lyrics [edit]

"Alone Again (Naturally)" is an introspective ballad. In the first poetry, the vocalist contemplates suicide after having been left "in the lurch at a church building"; in the 2nd, he wonders if in that location is a God; finally, he laments the death of his parents. O'Sullivan has said the song is not autobiographical: his mother was live during its composition; O'Sullivan was xi 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 Over again (Naturally)" and said he couldn't believe a 21-year-one-time wrote it, but for me it was just ane song I had written".[viii] Neil Sedaka was similarly effusive in his praise for the song, stating as he covered the song in 2020 that he wished that he himself had written the song considering its complexity was more typical of a man much older than 21.[9] The song is included on O'Sullivan's The Berry Vest of Gilbert O'Sullivan album (2004) on the EMI record label. Big Jim Sullivan plays the guitar break in the original recorded version of the song.

Nautical chart functioning [edit]

Copyright lawsuit [edit]

Grand Upright Music, Ltd v. Warner Bros. Records Inc. , 780 F. Supp. 182 (S.D.Northward.Y. 1991), was a copyright example heard past the United states of america District Court for the Southern Commune of New York. The example pitted vocalizer/songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan against rapper Biz Markie after Biz Markie sampled O'Sullivan's song "Solitary Again (Naturally)". The court ruled that sampling without permission tin can qualify equally copyright infringement. The judgment changed the hip hop music industry, requiring that whatever future music sampling be preapproved past the original copyright owners to avoid a lawsuit.[26]

Maison Ikkoku [edit]

This song, forth with some other one of O'Sullivan's songs, "Get Down", were featured as the opening and catastrophe for episode 24 of the Japanese anime hit Maison Ikkoku. At the time, O'Sullivan was signed to production visitor Kitty Flick's associated tape characterization, Kitty Records, which wanted to use the anime'southward popularity as a manner to promote the vocalist'due south career in Japan. According to serial director Kazuo Yamazaki, the reason the songs were dropped after merely ane episode was that they were unpopular with viewers; due to copyright issues, 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 pop manga of the aforementioned name by Rumiko Takahashi.

The song was likewise used as the ending theme for the 1986 alive-action Maison Ikkoku pic, Apartment Fantasy.

Notable cover versions [edit]

Many artists have covered the vocal. Among the more notable are a version by Nina Simone, included as a bonus track on the 1988 digital reissue of her 1982 album Provender on My Wings; and a version by Lazlo Bane's frontman Chad Fischer, from the 2009 animated film Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Both versions feature substantially rewritten lyrics; Simone's version savagely exhumes her troubled relationship with her late begetter, 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 anthology titled "Wallflower".[27]
