This song is about a relationship that may or may not have been supposed to happen. The two appear to be different but are actually quite the same.

Notice the juxtaposition in the title of the phrase being ‘alone together’ so, in fact, the two are not alone.

Pete has been known to mention in concert how no matter how lonely we get, music will always be there for us.

“Alone Together” was released as the band’s third overall single from Save Rock and Roll and was later certified platinum by the RIAA.
