Lonely Is the Night

"Lonely Is the Night" is a song written and performed by American rock singer and guitarist Billy Squier. It appeared as the first track on side two of his triple-Platinum 1981 album, Don't [Say No (Billy Squier album)|Don't Say No], and became a rock radio hit, reaching number 28 on Billboards Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. It was not released as a single, although it appeared on the B-side of UK pressings of Squier's hit "In [the Dark (Billy Squier song)|In the Dark]".
In the Led Zeppelin biography, Hammer of [the Gods (book)|Hammer of the Gods], the song is mentioned, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as one of the best singles Zeppelin ever put out, presumably for its similarity to another Led Zeppelin song. Although it doesn't specify what song that is, the song's intro is similar to that of "Nobody's Fault but Mine", while the chorus is nearly identical to “Good Times, Bad Times”. Led Zeppelin had disbanded a year before the song's release due to drummer John Bonham's death.
