"This Lonely Place" was the first single from Hang-Ups, Goldfinger's second album, which Mojo Records put out in September 1997. John Feldmann wrote the words and the music, and it arrived as the band leaned harder into ska than they had on their debut.
It never matched the pull of "Here in Your Bedroom", the single off that first record, but it kept Goldfinger busy all the same, with a run of talk-show appearances and plenty of airtime for the video, a send-up of the 1979 film Alien.
