All By Myself

Obviously the lyrics are cheesy and simple to solve. But it's sad because its a main problem that me and others with Asperger-Syndrome have: disability's of social and relationship skills.

"I never needed anyone And making love was just for fun Those days are gone" Love isn't really that important in your childhood; except, for your family.So you "never needed anyone" for that; even though there are some kids that have relationships because "making love is just for fun" not for real. But when you get out of your childhood, "Those days are gone".

"Living alone I think of all the friends I've known But when I dial the telephone Nobody's home". Your "living alone" because nobody needs you. You "think of all the friends" you know since your alone and you "dial the telephone" because you want to talk to someone. "Nobody home" because they don't want to talk to you.

It's really depressing for me:(

This song has always been in my Top 5 Saddest Songs of All Time. The lyrics are a little cheesy but the music itself is first-rate. The orchestration and string arrangements are among the best ever done on a pop song.

Truly a sad song. My favorite lyrics: "I think of all the friends I've known, but when I dial the telephone, nobody's home". That happens and can be quite painful.

I think this song resonates with us as human beings and our emotions. When youre young you really dont need anyone. You have school, your friends, dreams. But when we really get out into the real world, we face more difficulties and are no longer that carefree youth anymore.

"Making love was just for fun" is saying that while even though making love was just for fun, you finally at some point in your life realize that you would rather have more commitment and meaningful relationships in your life.

"nobodys home" is just one of those times we all experience when we want to reach out and talk and no one is available. Its a feeling that everyone is "having fun" and you are alone.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, but the main melody line was lifted directly from the second movement of Rachmanov's Second Piano Concerto. Not a bad place to steal, I'll admit, but he can't be credited for the melody (see my comment to "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" for, yes, another Rachmaninov theft).

This song is about my complete loneliness and despair since I was 8. see my mixtape for details.

Remembered my 2nd girl left me and this song was on the radio.

Why when we break up is nothing but love songs on the radio. Makes me wanna drive off a cliff.

Thanks a lot Tara !!!

Simple lyrics that she’d light on the the changes in life. At the begging for of your life you are growing and experiencing new things however, as you get older you lose the people around you until there is only you. It’s the evolution of man and a sad reality most get to figure out sooner or later.

Go visit your mom and dad and grandparents, especially if they are older. They miss you and are going through this now....

Merci Sergej Rachmaninov pour cette superbe musique.

The song is about loneliness obviously. Not a break up song, but about just having no one in the first place:

"And a love so distant and obscure, remains the cure"

I believe this is referring to paying for sex to temporarily satiate/"cure" his loneliness.

And yeah, never needing anyone when you're young is probably because when you're young you figure you'll figure things out as you get older, you have all the time in the world. Its easier to be alone as a kid. But then when you're older it starts to become more important, and you don't want to be alone.
