"Lonely Symphony (We Will be Free)" was the entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1994 in Dublin, Ireland. The song was written by George De Angelis and Mark Dean and sung by English musical theatre actress and singer Frances Ruffelle in English. It was released by Virgin Records in April 1994.
Performing sixth on the night, following 's Sigga singing "Nætur" and preceding 's Tony Cetinski singing "Nek' ti bude ljubav sva", it received 63 points and placed 10th in a field of twenty-five.
It was succeeded as the UK representative by Love City Groove with "Love City Groove".
Mark Frith from Smash Hits gave the song three out of five, writing, "Everyone makes jokes about the Eurovision Song Contest, but we all want to win really. Frances Ruffelle is a rather wonderful, gutsy singer who could sing the London phone directory and make it sound good. And guess what? She just has! Well almost. This pleasant, atmospheric gospel song is the last thing that wins Eurovision. But after repeated listens it's wonderful."[1]
It was released on 4 April 1994, and peaked at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart.
