1) a project created by French musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux and a number of female singers
2) a Japanese pop-R&B band
3) a Berlin-based multimedia music project founded by actress Betty la Gachette and musician & video-editor Renault Schubert.

1) Nouvelle Vague (France) is a project created by French musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux and a number of female singers, including Camille, Alexandra Pavlou of Spring and Suburbia, Mélanie Pain, Marina Céleste & Phoebe Killdeer of Phoebe Killdeer and the Short Straws. The group's albums consist in bossa nova fashioned covers of (primarily) New Wave songs (hence the name "Nouvelle Vague"). The covers include songs by Dead Kennedys, The Smiths, Joy Division, Public Image Ltd., Depeche Mode and Bauhaus. Each singer only performed songs they were not previously familiar with, to ensure that each cover would have an individual interpretation.

With a name that means "new wave" in English and "nova onda" in Portuguese (which is the meaning for "bossa nova", a new music "fashion"), Nouvelle Vague's moniker neatly sums up the group's concept: remaking classic new wave singles with a Brazilian pop twist. Libaux played with various French pop bands during the '90s and began working with Collin in 1998. For Nouvelle Vague, Collin and Libaux recruited half a dozen French and Brazilian vocalists who were unfamiliar with the original versions of songs like Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and XTC's "Making Plans for Nigel" to ensure that their renditions had their own identity. Nouvelle Vague was released in Europe in 2004 and received U.S. distribution in spring 2005, which coincided with tour dates in locales as far-flung as Shanghai, New York, Los Angeles, and Rio de Janeiro. Nouvelle Vague's second album, Bande à Part, arrived in summer 2006. The following year, the team returned with Coming Home, a collection of songs from films given the Nouvelle Vague treatment. Nouvelle Vague presents New Wave, a collection of covers by new wave artists, also arrived in 2007.

One of the singers involved in the project has released solo work as Camille.

2) Nouvelle Vague (Japan) is a Japanese band whose pop-R&B sound is beautifully arranged and fronted by the soulful vocals of diva Ricca. Other members of the band include Koyama (keyboards) and Try (bass).

2) Nouvelle Vague (Germany) was a Berlin-based multimedia music project founded by actress Betty la Gachette and musician & videoeditor Renault Schubert.
A final decision to change the name was reached in 2004, after french project Nouvelle Vague becomes successful. The new name is: FILM2

So Lonely
Nouvelle Vague Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere

But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part

And sit and nurse my broken heart

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely

Now, no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one-man show

Just take a seat, they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely

I feel lonely, oh so lonely
I feel so alone
I feel low
I feel so, feel so low
I feel low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
Low, I feel low
I feel low
I feel low
I feel so lonely
I feel so lonely
I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
Lonely, lone
I feel so alone, yeah

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely

Line by Line Meaning

Well, someone told me yesterday
I was told recently by someone

That when you throw your love away
When you discard your love for someone

You act as if you just don't care
You pretend like you don't have any concern for that person

You look as if you're going somewhere
You seem like you are headed towards something else

But I just can't convince myself
However, I cannot persuade myself

I couldn't live with no one else
I cannot live without them

And I can only play that part
The only role I can play is that of a heartbroken person

And sit and nurse my broken heart
I have to sit and mend my broken heart by myself

Now, no one's knocked upon my door
No one has come to see me recently

For a thousand years or more
No one has come to see me in a long time

All made up and nowhere to go
I'm all dressed up with no plans

Welcome to this one-man show
Welcome to my life where I feel alone and unloved

Just take a seat, they're always free
Please stay a while, there's always room for one more lonely person

No surprise, no mystery
It's predictable and there is no mystery to why I feel this way

In this theatre that I call my soul
In my innermost being, which I liken to a stage production

I always play the starring role
I'm always the main character in this sad story

I feel lonely, oh so lonely
I'm overwhelmed with feelings of loneliness

I feel so alone
I feel utterly isolated

I feel low
I feel emotionally drained

I feel so, feel so low
I'm bearing the full brunt of my sadness

I feel low, low
My sadness is intense

I feel low, low, low
I'm deeply down and out

Low, I feel low
I'm experiencing a low point in my life

I feel so lonely
I'm overwhelmed with feelings of loneliness

I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
I'm extremely lonely

Lonely, lone
I feel alone and isolated

I feel so alone, yeah
I feel completely by myself

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So incredibly lonely

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So overwhelmingly lonely

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So unbearably lonely

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So heartbreakingly lonely

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So pathetically lonely

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So hopelessly lonely

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So distressingly lonely
