Alone Again(Naturally),1972 - Gilbert O'Sullivan
Alone Again(Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan
아일랜드 싱어송라이터 길버트 오설리반(Gillbert O'sullivan) 이 발표한 곡.
밝고 경쾌한 분위기지만 가사 내용은 슬프기 짝이 없는 노래
Naturally(당연하게도)라는 부제가 붙어있다.
1972년 두번째 엘범인 Back to Front 와 같은때 발표한 싱글곡으로 발표 후 빌포드 차트에서 6주간 1위를 할정도로 큰 인기를 자랑했다.
잔잔하고 경쾌한 음률로 추억을 회상하거나 상처를 치유하는 치유계곡으로 알려져 있지만 [1] 그런 멜로디와는 달리 가사가 암울한게 한 가수가 자살하기 전의 계획과 부모님의 죽음에 대해 말하는 곡이다.
심지어 BC카드의 광고에까지 쓰이면서 가사 내용을 아는 사람을 폭소케 했다.위키백과
Alone Again
(또다시 혼자예요)
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
(조금 뒤에도
내 기분이 나아지지 않는다면
나 자신에게 약속했죠
근처 탑에 가서
꼭대기에 올라가서
몸을 던져버릴 거라고)
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
"She stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?
Alone again, naturally

Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
