All By Myself was first written and recorded by Eric Carmen in 1975, borrowing its melody from Rachmaninoff. Celine Dion covered it for her 1996 album Falling into You, and her version became a worldwide hit thanks to its dramatic vocal climax. Online, that chorus was clipped into a shorthand for loneliness, in the same sad meme family as Hello darkness my old friend, and it still works because the emotion is instantly clear even without the rest of the song.

Celine Dion singing the powerful All By Myself chorus, the dramatic pop ballad clip people use for lonely, sad and over the top alone moments online.
This clip captures Celine Dion at full power on the chorus of All By Myself, her voice rising over piano and swelling strings into that huge, aching high note. It starts intimate and lonely, then opens up into pure melodrama, the kind of vocal moment that feels both heartbreaking and a little theatrical. Listeners instantly read it as isolation turned up to eleven, which is why a few seconds is enough to turn an ordinary scene of someone sitting, waiting or eating alone into a tragic, funny emotional climax.
