The Lonely (British Sea Power song)

"The Lonely" is a song by British Sea Power.

It was their first single to garner much press coverage and resulted in a chart position.

Unusually, the nominal A-side actually featured as the flipside on both versions.

The main position is taken by "The Spirit of St. Louis", a tale of Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic.

The title track was written as a tribute to Geoff Goddard, a friend of the band who wrote the 1960s number-one single, "Johnny Remember Me".
