My #1 One Hit Wonder




Top on my list is this gem from Irish born Singer Gilbert O'Sullivan from 1972. Its one of the few songs that I've become obsessed with repeatedly at different times in life, from 5 years old to present day. I simply never tire of hearing it. Such a sad song, it opens with the narrator explaining his plan for suicide and then recounts the death of his parents. Still, somehow, I find the melody uplifting in a melancholy sort of way.
