Celine Dion - All By Myself

All By Myself by Celine Dion, Music Video, Lyrics and Review

“All by Myself” is the fourth (or third, depending on the country) hit single from Céline Dion’s Falling into You album, and is arguably one of Dion’s most powerful vocal performances.

Celine Dion - All By Myself Lyrics

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin’ alone
I think of all the friends I’ve known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody’s home

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don’t wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
Oh
Don’t wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don’t wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone

Celine Dion - All By Myself Review and Song Info

It was released on October 7, 1996 in Europe, January 13, 1997 in Australia and March 11, 1997 in North America.

Céline Dion performed this song many times during her world tours, TV shows and many important music events, including: Grammy Awards (1997), Billboard Music Awards (1997) and Bambi Awards (1996).

There were three music videos made. The first one was released in October 1996. It contains fragments from Dion’s photo session for the Falling into You album cover and some scenes from her Live à Paris concert. It was made for the single version. The second version was made for the UK market with the same white t-shirt scenes but adding footage of a young couple in love at Christmas time, instead of scenes from Dion’s concert. This was made for the album version. Finally, a live music video was released in March 1997 in North America (from the 1996 concert in Montreal).

The single became one of Dion’s biggest hits in the United States, reaching #1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks (for three weeks) and Hot Latin Pop Airplay (two weeks). It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 (#7 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay, #5 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales).

She recorded also a Spanish version of “All by Myself,” called “Sola Otra Vez.” It was added to the Falling into You Latin America and Spanish edition, and as a B-side to other singles from that album. It became available worldwide on Dion’s later compilation The Collector’s Series, Volume One. A music video was made for “Sola Otra Vez” similar to “All by Myself.”
