  • "All by Myself" is a power ballad written and performed by Eric Carmen in 1975. The verse is based on the second movement (Adagio Sostenuto) of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Opus 18. The chorus borrows from the song "Let's Pretend" that Carmen had written for the Raspberries in 1973. The song was the first release from Carmen's first solo LP after leaving the power pop group the Raspberries and was originally recorded by the author and released in December 1975 to great success. It reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 1 on Cash Box Top 100 Singles and number 12 in the UK. The single sold more than one million copies in the United States and was certified gold by the RIAA in April 1976. In a 2006 poll for UK's Five programme Britain's Favourite Break-up Songs Eric Carmen's version of this song was voted seventeenth. Carmen's original version has spawned numerous cover versions by such artists as Céline Dion, Frank Sinatra, and Igudesman & Joo. It should not be confused with the jazz standard of the same name, written by Irving Berlin and performed by Ella Fitzgerald and others. On his second solo LP, Boats Against the Current, Carmen had a subsequent Top 40 hit entitled "She Did It" which was the antithesis of "All by Myself. " It is a happy answer to the loneliness and lovelessness described in this song and its equally melancholy follow-up "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again. " The Carmen version is used in the video introduction for Conan O'Brien's "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour", when an obese and bearded version of the talk show host struggles to cope with losing his job as host of Tonight Show. The Carmen version is also featured in a season 4 episode of the hit sitcom That 70's Show.
  • All by Myself est une chanson américaine écrite, composée et interprétée par Eric Carmen et sortie en 1975. Elle emprunte librement son thème musical au Concerto pour piano n  2 de Sergueï Rachmaninov, une pièce que Carmen croyait à tort être dans le domaine public. Elle s'est classée à la fois n 1 au Cash Box, n 2 au Billboard Hot 100 et n 12 au UK Singles Chart. Elle remporte un disque d'Or avec plus de exemplaires vendus et depuis, est devenue un standard. Une reprise par Céline Dion en 1995 rencontre le même succès, étant classée à la fois n 1 Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, au Hot Latin Pop Airplay (sous le titre Sola otra vez) et au hit-parade canadien et remportant également un disque d'Or.
  • All by Myself è una power ballad scritta ed eseguita da Eric Carmen nel 1975. Il brano prende in prestito a piene mani il secondo movimento (Adagio Sostenuto) del Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra n. 2 di Sergei Rachmaninoff, che Carmen credeva fosse di pubblico dominio. Solo dopo la pubblicazione del disco Carmen scoprì la verità e, per evitare una causa, dovette trovare un accordo con i Rachmaninoff. La versione integrale del brano ha un lungo assolo di pianoforte ed ha una durata di oltre sette minuti, mentre la versione pubblicata come singolo dura 4:22. Nel 2006, in un sondaggio condotto dal programma Britain's Favourite Break-up Songs, trasmesso su Five, All by Myself è stata votata al diciassettesimo posto. Il brano conobbe un enorme successo già alla sua prima pubblicazione, infatti il singolo di Carmen raggiunse la posizione numero due della Billboard Hot 100, e nell'aprile del 1976 ottenne il disco d'oro. La canzone è stata reinterpretata numerose volte da artisti del calibro di Céline Dion e Frank Sinatra, mentre in italiano (con un testo scritto da Cristiano Minellono ed il titolo Rivoglio lei) è stata incisa da Mario Tessuto nel 1975. Esiste una canzone dallo stesso titolo, uno standard jazz scritto da Irving Berlin ed originariamente interpretato da Ella Fitzgerald.
  • All by Myself – ballada skomponowana przez Erica Carmena w 1975 roku. Fragment muzyki pochodzi z II Koncertu fortepianowego c-moll, op. 18 rosyjskiego kompozytora Siergieja Rachmaninowa. Kompozycja w oryginale ukazała się na wydanym nakładem Arista Records albumie zatytułowany Eric Carmen. Utwór był wielokrotnie interpretowany przez takich wykonawców jak: Céline Dion, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Sheryl Crow, Hank Williams, Jr. czy Babes in Toyland.
  • All By Myself é o título de várias canções, sendo a mais conhecida uma balada de Eric Carmen de 1975, que teve várias regravações por outros artistas (veja tabela abaixo). A melodia é baseada em frases melódicas do segundo movimento do Concerto para Piano nº2 in C minor de Sergei Rachmaninoff. A versão original dura sete minutos, com um longo solo de piano. A versão original de Carmen tem gerado inúmeros covers, de artistas como Céline Dion, Frank Sinatra, e Igudesman & Joo. Não deve ser confundido com o padrão de jazz com o mesmo nome, escrita por Irving Berlin e executada por Ella Fitzgerald. Em seu segundo LP solo, Barcos Against the Current Carmen teve um Top 40 posterior, intitulado "She Did It", que era a antítese de "All by Myself". É uma resposta feliz à solidão e desamor descritos nesta canção e na sua igualmente melancólica sequela, "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again". Em um episódio da sitcom Living Single, Max toca violão e canta uma versão improvisada da canção para impressionar um cara que trabalha em um restaurante. A versão de Carmen também é utilizado na introdução do vídeo "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour" para Conan O'Brien, quando uma versão obesa e barbuda do apresentador de talk show luta para lidar com a perda do Tonight Show, ele é mantido para sete meses. Em Superhero Movie, a versão de Carmen é utilizada durante a cena do cemitério. Recentemente, "All by myself" passou a fazer parte da trilha sonora do novo espetáculo da renomada companhia de dança Déborah Colker, Tatyana. A música, em sua versão original de Rachmaninoff, marca presença no segundo ato do espetáculo, no segundo movimento, e compõe cenas de melancólica beleza e intensa emotividade.
  • All by Myself är en powerballad skriven och framförd av Eric Carmen in 1975. Låten lånar starka influenser från andra satsen (Adagio Sostenuto) av Sergej Rachmaninovs Pianokonsert No. 2 i C-moll, Opus 18, som Eric Carmen trodde inte längre var upphovsrättsskyddad. Först efter skivsläppet fick han reda på att så inte var fallet, och slöt då ett avtal med Rachmaninovs dödsbo. Tidiga versioner angav därmed enbart Eric Carmen som låtskrivare, men senare versioner även Sergei Rachmaninoff. Refrängen lånar influenser från sången "Let's Pretend" som Eric Carmen skrev åt Raspberries 1973. Carmens fulla version har ett utökat pianosolo och varar över sju minuter, även om en avkortad version är 4:22 minuter lång. Låten var Eric Carmens första skivsläpp efter att han lämnat Raspberries, och spelades ursprungligen in av honom och släpptes i december 1975, för att bli en stor framgång. Den nådde andraplatsen på Billboard Hot 100, förstaplatsen på Cash Box 100 singlar i topp och 12:e plats i Storbritannien. Singeln sålde över en miljon exemplar i USA, och fick guldcertifikat av RIAA i april 1976. 2006 höll brittiska TV-kanalen Fives program Britain's Favourite Break-up Songs, Eric Carmens version av låten röstades fram på 17:e plts. Efter Eric Carmens originalversion spelades flera coverversioner in, av bland andra Céline Dion och Frank Sinatra. Den skall inte förväxlas med jazzlåten med samma namn, skriven av Irving Berlin och framförd av Ella Fitzgerald. På sitt andra soloalbum, Boats Against the Current, hade Eric Carmen en 40-i-topphit vid namn "She Did It," som en antites till "All by Myself". Den låten är ett glatt svar till ensamhetskänslan och melankolin i "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again."
