Raymond Edward O'Sullivan was born in Waterford, Ireland on December 1, 1946. In 1958, at the age of eleven, the family was off to England. Gilbert recalls hearing the news with mixed feelings. He had lived all his life in Waterford and love the surrounding countryside. Raymond attended St. Joseph's Comprehensive in Swindon and he went on to the Swindon Art College. Prior to college he spent hours pounding at the family piano which finally forces his mom to relocate it to the wood shed. It is there that Gilbert's songwriting begins. While at college he's a band member (drums, guitar & vocals) of The Doodles, The Prefects and Rick's Blues. After graduating he went to work in a London department store; one of his co-workers was under contract with CBS, and soon O More... (Submit New Gilbert O'Sullivan Lyrics) (Submit New Gilbert O'Sullivan Lyrics) Review about Gilbert O'Sullivan Himself | Reviewer: Mike Payne ------ About artist/band Gilbert O'Sullivan I remember carrying a rather large radio/cassette recorder to the high school i attended during 1970-1975. The cassettes i played was called 'Himself' and 'I'm a writer not a fighter' and i still play the very same cassettes today when travelling to and from work. My wife and i will be going to see Gilbert at the Royal Albert Hall in October and i'll be taking the cassettes with me in the hope Gilbert can sign them for me. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Gilbert and his family the very best health and hapiness and to say thanks for music i have been able to listen to over the years. Can't wait to see you live for the first time. Hospice | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan I am 44. I remember my father loved this song and he related it to losing his father. I began humming it to my father in his bed at Hospice. I don't know if he could hear me, but the same song, 35 years later sure hits home. sad song - childhood memory | Reviewer: sigh ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan This song brings me back to my childhood days. I loved the tune but did not understand the grief although the idea of being alone scared me. I am now 46, have lost my parents and far away from my siblings - I understand the sadness. But with a family of my own, there is always a new page. A very sad song but a true classic. Everytime I hear this song I get sucked into a childhood memory sitting under a tree reading a book. An OLD song. Never more real than now. | Reviewer: Elson ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan The first time I heard this song I was 9 years old... I loved the melody and like most of you guys I had very little understanding of its meaning although I could already feel part of its sadness. Now more then 35 years later, I wonder why this was the very first song I memorized... Sometimes, some songs echoed so deep with us that we wonder why we didn't write it in the first place. How come someone wrote about things that sound so personnal to me? It's a beautiful and sad song | Reviewer: Joselo100 ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan I'm from Chile and I like the music of Gilbert, specially this song. When I translated the letter it seemed to me a beautiful, sad and touching song. MyToni K, I have the same feelings every time I listen this song. Gilbert the Greatest | Reviewer: Anne Jones ------ About artist/band Gilbert O'Sullivan I went to see Gilbert every time he preformed in Dublin and each and every time had a fantastic night. I first saw him in the National Stadium at the beginning of his career and he shook my hand. I was only a teenager at the time and I was so excited. My mother Molly loved his music and when she got alzheimers the song Clair was the only thing she recognised. We sang it at her funeral so Gilbert means more to me than my love of him and his songwriting. I am going to see him on 19th Oct 2008 and no doubt I will sing with him throughout the whole concert. Anne Alone again... I don't think so.. | Reviewer: Bob ------ About artist/band Gilbert O'Sullivan Gilbert has only a few years over me in age so I remember the start of his career in music. I still have and listen to his albums now, the content of his music and lyrics are timeless. He is, without doubt one of our best singer-songwriters and I wish him every sucsess in any future ventures.. the song that i remember forever! | Reviewer: Toni K ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan I heared this song when I was a young girl. The other day I heared it for the first time again as an adult at 30years old and when your little you don't understand what it means just a nice meliody but when I looked up the lyrics to it. It made me cry. I just lost my grandfather and just hearing the song made me cry. It's a classic song that I will carry with me. Just A Superb Song | Reviewer: Joe O ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan I remember this song from when I was a young lad, and even though, like many of you above, I didn't understand the connotation of the song, I truly enjoyed it, and ran to the radio to turn it up each and every time I heard it. A true Classic.

I'd not heard this song since my childhood, many years ago and it came flooding back Now You see him... | Reviewer: Opendtuning ------ About artist/band Gilbert O'Sullivan Gilbert for me must be the most underrated top songwriter I have ever come across...for him to sell so many records in the first part of his career like millions of copies worldwide and then by 1975 to almost be bannished by the music industry.He continues to write and perform still even after years of being in the wilderness,I have quite a few of his albums and they are top notch.An album that I strongly recommend is Piano Foreplay on Emi...Also Check out the songs "At the very mention of Your name" and "Dear Dream". This song will forever be a classic.... | Reviewer: sherry stanley ------ About the song Alone Again (Naturally) performed by Gilbert O'Sullivan I remember listening to this song when I was a teenager, and didn't really comprehend it.
