Love - Alone again or




Alone Again Or" is a song originally recorded in 1967 by the rock group Love and written by band member Bryan MacLean. It appears on the album 'Forever Changes', and was released as a single in the USA, UK, Australia, France and Holland.The essence of the song is the contrast between the positivity of the tune and the bleakness of the lyrics, with the chorus "And I will be alone again tonight, my dear" finishing with a lone acoustic guitar, closing the song with the opening melody that sounds anything but ecstatic, ending with an E-minor plus 2 chord.


Love was an American rock group of the late 1960s and early 1970s. They were led by singer/songwriter Arthur Lee who wrote most of the songs, although some of their best known songs were written by Bryan MacLean. One of the first racially diverse American pop bands, their music reflected different influences, combining elements of rock and roll, garage rock, folk and psychedelia.







Lyrics


Yeah, I said it's all right

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

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

Y

eah, 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



Songwriters: Brian Maclean
