  This is my first submission to the ftp site. Next time I'll pick a more difficult
  song. I just wanted to see how long it would take to write one of these up, and,
  for anyone also wondering, it doesn't take long at all.

	'So Lonely' is reggae, of course (the basic rhythm copped from Marley's 'No Woman No Cry'), that is, until Sting's painful wailings about his fate and his feelings climax in the frantic 'so lonely, so lonely...' refrain. And hey, is there anybody else out there who thinks that the last verse of the song, with Sting's rabid 'I feel so lonely... so lonely, lonely, lonely, lo...' is the greatest tension-building moment in the entire Police catalogue? No wonder Bob Marley himself appreciated the band; their being able to capture the reggae spirit so fine would suggest such an issue. [George Starostin]

	What the hell is your problem, dude from over a year ago? This is an awesome song. ...Probably the first modern punk rock song put on the radio...and it was released in the late 70's!!! A good, slow and fast song for the heartbroken to listen to.
