"Ever So Lonely" is the debut single by British band Monsoon with Sheila Chandra on vocals. The song was written by Steve Coe and was released in August 1981. The single became a No. 12 hit in the United Kingdom following a re-release in March 1982, staying on the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks. It was also a hit in Ireland, the Netherlands and Australia but was never released as a single in the United States.
