Alone Again (Naturally) _ Gilbert O'Sullivan

[rjbvvkw]

책상 위가 너무 지저분해서 패드로 노래나 틀어놓고 치우자 싶어서 유튜브를 켰는데 효린님 영상이 올라와있는 거예요. 근데 커버 노래가 제가 푹 빠져서 근한달간 정말 닳고 닳도록 반복재생하며 듣고 있는 alone again..!! 이거는..이거는 운명이다 싶어서 책상이고 뭐고 바로 재생했는데..아 정말..첫소절부터 진짜..지저분한 책상이고 뭐고 다 사라지고 암전된 극장에서 1인 관객이 된 것 마냥 효린님 목소리만 들리는 그런 신기한 경험을 하면서 들었어요. 중간엔 손으로 입틀막하면서 들었어요..어떻게 이렇게 노래를 하세요..ㅠㅠ 노래 끝나자마자 너무 좋아서, 너무 어이가 없어서 '이게 뭐야..'하고 너털웃음 지었네요. 원곡 보다 더 서정적이고, 쓸쓸하고 외롭게, 그런데 그런 심정들을 담담하게 말하는 것 같아 듣는 내내 눈물이 울컥울컥 치밀었네요..너무 담담해서 더 서글픈 그런 고백들이 있잖아요.. 저는 너무 너무 좋은 노래를 만나면 질릴 때까지 듣고 싶은 노래가 있고, 너무너무 좋으니까 질리고 싶지 않아서, 처음 노래를 들었을 때의 그 충격적인 감정을 오래 간직하고 싶어서 정말 아껴듣는 노래가 있는데 오늘 커버곡은 후자의 감상이네요..지금 이 충격적일 정도로 좋은 느낌을 오래 간직하고 싶어요..세상에..ㅠㅠ 정말 너무 좋아요..기회가 된다면 꼭 직접 듣고 싶다는 생각이 들었네요. 단지 이 노래뿐만 아니라 그냥 효린님이 노래하시는 목소리를..😭 정말 너무 좋아요..어떡해..! 노래 불러주셔서 감사해요 늦은 밤에 정말..벅차오르네요..🥲

Today my wife of 35 years was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Have been strong all day till your video somehow showed up in my recommendations. Now I cry, memories brought by your beautiful piece of music. God bless folks like you. You matter more than you know my child.

This is a wonderful version of the song by Gilbery O' Sullivan. Your voice is perfectly modulated, the intonation of your singing is excellent, and most of all you sing the song with love in your heart. Bless You and keep singing.

So glad to see younger generation appreciate this song. Sad but somehow uplifting.

[quirtdrozario]

I love this song. It's a classic and this young lady has done a marvellous job. She sang so very sweetly.

[JohnLumpp]

What a beautiful voice. You do this song justice. Thank you for posting.

가장 natural하게 이 노래의 분위기와 가사를 살려 아름답게 부르시네요. 원곡은 그다지 좋아하지 않았는데 이 version은 계속 다시 듣게 됩니다.

Why oh why is music like this not written anymore...well done ...

[markwilliams]

Great playing. Nice smooth solo vocals & tasteful harmony vocal overdubs. Raymond Edward O'Sullivan not formally schooled in piano & music theory, achieved a song-writing contract at age 21 years. "Alone Again, Naturally" is typical of the sentimental pop ballads of the late 1960s and early 1970s about loss & solitude. It has superb harmonic structure working downwards through the minor chords. A lovely Bridge that is distinct and moves back to the tonal home key beautifully. The song: melody and harmony is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. TY for your lovely arrangement & rendering.

very sweet voice, full of emotions, well done !

A sad and poignant song -- but it's been one of my favorites since I was a kid in the 1970's. You did a very nice job on this one, thank you!

[HandwhistlerBen]

Your voice is soft, dreamy, and whispery like Norah Jones. You bring inner peace to me as I listen you your light strumming of your guitar and your perfect phrasing of the words. You are pure magic and should be under contract making and selling your recordings!!!! This is one of my all time favorite songs from my youth. Wishing you nothing but the very best in your Future!!!

What a great version of this Gilbert O Sullivan song. He wrote that song when he was just 21 years old. Another one of Ireland's great songwriters.

[robertalbertson]

Very well done young lady!! Bravo! I remember hearing thus sing the very first time when I was around 10 years old, I'm 63 now, and it pulls at my heart strings just as strongly as it did way back then!

Keep up your hard work Sweetheart! Your voice is beautiful and soothing...😊❤

[PaulLodewijk-dcxq]

I heard this song in 1972. I was 12 years. Good memories. Great performance, well done.

[DCM]

Very well done. The arrangement is very correct for the needs of the song. Gilbert O'Sullivan wrote it for a purpose, and this cover certainly honors this purpose.

[davegroves]

At 77 I've heard this song 100's of times since it's release, but your rendition touched me like no other. Just beautiful.

[noslen]

This young lady has a beautiful voice. If she lived in the USA she would be a a big star. I just love her.

Love and hate songs like this because it was during the summer just before I graduated when it came out from Hs and it reminds me of the good old days and also of how old I am!😂😢❤

Gilbert was our hero when we were kids. Big respect from Ireland....
