"So Lonely" is a song by English rock band The Police, released as the third and final single in November 1978 from their debut studio album '' Outlandos d'Amour'' (1978), and again in February 1980 as a re-release. The song uses a reggae style, and featured Sting on lead vocals. "So Lonely" has since been covered by a variety of artists, such as Limbeck and The Militia Group. Background Sting admitted that he used Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry" as the basis for this song: Sting recycled the lyrics in the song's verses from his earlier Last Exit song "Fool in Love". The lyrics themselves, about someone who is lonely after getting his heart broken, were thought to be "ironic" to large audiences. Sting denied this claim, however, saying, "No, there's no irony whatsoever. From the outside it might look a bit strange, being surrounded by all this attention and yet experiencing the worst lonely feeling...but I do. And then suddenly the attention is withdrawn a half an hour la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
