"All By Myself"

Artist: Eric Carmen
Year: 1975
Heartbreaking line: “Living alone/I think of all the friends I’ve known/when I dial the telephone/nobody’s home”
Why we weep: Though it might seem cheesy nowadays, few songs about loneliness are as much of a classic – that’s why it has been used in just about every movie or TV scene where the protagonist is feeling lonely.
