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 has 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sting.com/discography/index/album/albumId/143/tagName/Singles%20(The%20Police) )〕 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 And then suddenly the attention is withdrawn a half an hour later. You're so isolated..."〔 "So Lonely" was released as the third and final single from ''Outlandos d'Amour'' in November 1978, following "Roxanne" and "Can't Stand Losing You." The single didn't chart on the first occasion but reached number 6 with its second release.〔 The other singles from ''Outlandos d'Amour'' followed a similar pattern of not charting very high in 1978, but doing very well on a re-release. The video for the song depicts the band walking around the streets of Hong Kong and on the subway trains of Tokyo in 1980. The band lip-syncs into walkie-talkies, while Stewart Copeland performs drum fills on random objects, such as buses and objects being sold. The B-Side "No Time This Time" was originally a non-album track, but the same recording later appeared on their album ''Reggatta de Blanc'' to pad out the short running time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「So Lonely」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
