I'm so surprised no one has commented! This is the truest song that has ever been written, despite that the credit should go to Stephen Sondheim. (Most of Barbra's songs need to be credited to someone else, actually!) Alone IS alone, not alive.
I've loved this song ever since I first heard the album in 1985. It still gives me goosebumps. I love Sondheim. He's so... unsappy. So real. I remember the liner notes of The Broadway Album said that this song is about the "best and worst" of relationships. So true.
