Eric Carmen - All by Myself (Audio)

Sad news from his official website: Eric Carmen passed away today aged 74. His music will live on in our hearts and minds, and our condolences go to his family, friends and fans at this sad time.

In Memoriam - Mr. Eric Carmen - "When I was young, I never needed anyone, those days are gone".

Shortly after graduating from high school, my girlfriend died in a car accident. After a few months of trying to heal from her loss I enlisted in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. I eventually found myself in the middle of the Mojave desert at Marine Corps base 29 Palms as a field medic/base dispensary corpsman. A "sand sailor"...and about as isolated as one could get. At that time you couldn't get radio or television reception unless you paid for a cable sevice. 1976 I found this album at the base exchange and could really relate to this song. On my "down days" I would play this song from time to time. I still have the album. RIP Eric Carmen.

Ever since the love of my life was killed, I have felt alone excepting the presence of the Lord. That hasn't changed in the 5 years since her passing, and I am 77 now. This song has always been a part of me, but now more than ever!

As a young guy in the 60's and 70's living in L.A. wasn't easy. I never really wanted to be alone. I looked for love and friendship all over. In 1977, New Years eve, I met the love of my life and for 40 years we were all we had, or needed. We had friends, but preferred OUR time together even more. In 2017, they passed away and here I am again, all by myself. I'm thankful for the glorious, wonderful love filled years I had, but when you lose that half of you ,the pain and emptiness never goes away. I was lucky finding that ONE someone special to make me whole and make my life better. Now, it's time to be by myself again. Thank God for the memories......

I remember this song very well. I was in the Air Force 1977. I was stationed overseas hanging out at the recreation Center when I heard this. I was alone on the base and I just arrive there. I didn’ know anyone. So I sat there on the couch listening to this song. I felt alone. But little by little I started to meet new friends. Some where in the same boat as me. We all became friends. Thank you Eric Carmen for being there. I will never forget this song.

He loved Rachmaninov's music and was inspired by Rach's piano concerto no. 2 to write this beautiful song. RIP dear Eric and thank you.

Eric Carmen and Karen Carpenter have been the most beautiful and soothing voices of my generation. God bless both their eternal souls.❤

No matter how high a note Celine may have hit in the cover, it isn't as emotionally powerful as this. The originals are always better.

RIP Eric Carmen. This song has always "spoke to me". I hope you are no longer all by your self! 🥲

He passed away . But his music is eternal ❤

Who else. Will be listening to this absolute Masterpiece. In decades to come?

Today I cried, This song is the symbol of my adolescence. RIP Eric....:(

You might be all by yourself but you remain the hearts of millions. R.I.P.

Mr.Eric Carmen R.I.P. 　素敵な名曲を残してくれて　ありがとうございました。

No voice processing, No computer, just straight up TALENT!

I'm now 75 and widowed.. Most friends have moved far, have been lost for years, or have died. My children are grown adults with families of their own, but I am estranged with two and close with my eldest. I am battling brain cancer, have sold my home and been living in my own apartment, alone for years. Both loneliness and being alone haunt me these days. This song speaks volumes to me.

This isn't a song, it's a true performance. Forever loved, never alone. Rest in peace, Eric. Thank you.

I was lucky enough to meet Eric Carmen in person. I was parking cars at the Gates Mills Towers in Mayfield Heights Ohio, where Eric lived at the time.(1985?) I was a 21 year old valet for Milano's Italian Restaurant running to get a car in the underground garage adjacent to the restaurant. There in the garage, Eric appeared out of nowhere. I said hi, and stupidly said, you are all be yourself...he laughed, got into a Mercedes 450 SL convertible and drove away...I still remember it as it if were yesterday. RIP.

This is not a song .its a masterpiece..RIP Eric Carmen😢
