Frank Sinatra Sings for . .has been added to your Cart. Every single "suicide song" (as Sinatra liked to call 'em) on Only the Lonely is a stunner that will take your breath away. Nelson Riddle's arrangements are like shadows, almost colorless and motionless, so that all you hear is the ache in the singer's voice. Angel Eyes" and "One for My Baby" each deserve an album to themselves- so exquisitely moving that at the end of three minutes you feel like you've just heard a lifetime of loneliness.

The result is arguably his greatest ballads album. Only the Lonely follows the same formula as his previous down albums, but the tone is considerably bleaker and more desperate.

Sinatra never forces emotion out of the lyric, he lets everything flow naturally, with grace.
