Alone Again Or
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't forget
All the times I waited patiently for you
I think you'll do (just what) you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear
Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear
Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear
The lyrics of Sarah Brightman's song "Alone Again Or" are about waiting patiently for someone who ultimately chooses to do what they want, leaving the singer alone again. The phrase "Alone Again Or" is a reference to the 1967 song by the band Love of the same name, which includes the lyric "Alone again or/Does it matter now?" The singer of Brightman's song seems to be stating that even though she will be alone, it does matter to her.
The second verse of the song takes on a more optimistic tone, with the singer hearing a funny thing someone said to her: that they could be in love with almost everyone, and people are the greatest fun. This suggests that the singer is not completely hopeless about finding love and connection, even if she is alone for the time being.
Overall, "Alone Again Or" is a melancholic song about the powerlessness of waiting for someone who may never choose to make a real connection, and the importance of finding joy in the people around you even in the absence of that connection.
