Frances Ruffelle - Lonely Symphony (Full Studio Version)

"Lonely Symphony (We Will Be Free)" was the United Kingdom's Eurovision entry in 1994, and was performed by Frances Ruffelle. It was the second favourite to win the contest, but ended up finishing in 10th place after only receiving 63 points.

There are plenty of versions of the Eurovision performance on YouTube. Please enjoy the studio version, which adds another bridge, some extra lines to the verses, and a longer instrumental break.

Lyrics:

Walk into the box
Let your secrets out
Time for confession
Purify your soul
Denounce the devil from within
No time for aggression
Don't wait up in vain
Love has lost its way
We live in segregation
Can't you see the piece of dust
That crumbles in your hand is me?
Give me some affection

And though my heart is broken
My picture is forgotten
But I still believe
That I can see
A piece of me reflecting in your eyes

(We will rise)
(Never fall) Never fall
(We will be free) And we will be free
(We will rise) We will rise
(Never fall again) We'll never fall again
(We will be free) And we will be free

Welcome to the land
Where all our dreams are planned
And fighting is a thing to do
Sometimes it makes me feel
Naked like a tree in autumn
And through the clouds and rain
Love has come to stake its claim
In an ugly way
And while you dance beneath an angry star
I'm chasing rainbows across the sun

And in this mad equation
I still believe that we can be
In harmony, you and me
A chorus in your lonely symphony

(We will rise)
(Never fall) We'll never fall
(We will be free) And we will be free
(We will rise) We will rise
(Never fall again) We'll never fall again
(We will be free) And we will be free
(We will rise)
(Never fall) We'll never fall
(We will be free) And we will be free

(Instrumental break)

And in this mad equation
I still believe that we can be
In harmony, you and me
A chorus in your lonely symphony

(We will rise)
(Never fall) We'll never fall
(We will be free) And we will be free
(We will rise) We will rise
(Never fall again) We'll never fall again
(We will be free) And we will be free

We'll never fall
We will be free
With a little love
(We will rise) We will be free
(Never fall again) We'll never fall
(We will be free) And we will be free

@guitarcovers598 Both mum and daughter are fitness!

[MegaSpliffster]

Entering Eurovision killed her career before it had a chance to take off. A pity. She's fit.

[TheGoaBase]

the true winner of that year! ...and one of the best songs of eurovision ever! greetings from greece! :-)

[oOCannibalCorpseOo]

This song was played at my brother funeral,I love it but it makes me sad =[

[sigulka]

I'll tell you why you didn't win: because it's not song contest anymore - it's contest called "vote for your neighbours"... Croatia votes for Makedonia, Makedonia votes for Serbia, Serbia votes for Bosnia, Bosnia votes for Montenegro, Montenegro votes for Slovenia, Slovenia votes for Croatia, All Europe Votes for Turkey... It's not the song contest anymore....
