Alone Yet Not Alone (song)

"Alone Yet Not Alone" is a song from the 2013 feature film, Alone Yet Not Alone, with music by Bruce Broughton and lyrics by Dennis Spiegel. In January 2014 the song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. This nomination was later revoked by the Academy for alleged reasons of "improper campaigning" by the composer Broughton.^[1]
