Lost

Lost

I was lost inside the fire, wide eyes bright and clear, I was lost inside the fire
Smiling as I gasp for air, with optimistic stare, I was lost inside the fire

Noone + 1 = 1, no matter what has been and gone. That’s the undeniable truth

Washed up glass upon the shore, jagged edges long forgotten
Broken away from what it was before. One small piece of something more

I was lost without you. I was lost without you here
I was going nowhere, doing nothing
Worth anything or worth mentioning
Alive and breathing, just existing

I was lost inside the fire. You got me out of there. I was lost inside the fire
Breathe on and on just for me, you stop, I stop, it shall be
Foundation that keeps me standing

Washed up glass upon the shore, jagged edges long forgotten
Broken away from what it was before. One small piece of something more

I was lost without you. I was lost without you here
I was going nowhere, doing nothing
Worth anything or worth mentioning
Alive and breathing, just existing

John, you made my day!!!!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

(the same for all the songs but I'm not going to copy that in each topic )

Love, love, love this song... musically AND lyrically. Listened to the demo now, AFTER I had heard the finished version of this song and there's a huge difference, that's for sure. ALBUM-TRACK is so very well-crafted and magnificently mixed (must be the twilight hours...).

THANK YOU so much, John, for posting the lyrics to all of your new songs. It's much appreciated!!
Though as for 'Lost' it's a bit tricky, 'cause you make us learn different words than the ones you're actually singing (bright eyes, wide and clear... one small piece of so much more... foundation it keeps me standing?).

So, any sing-along-fuck-ups at any upcoming gigs not my fault!!

Happy to read that I'm not the only one who heard "ghost" sentences and words like "foundation keeps me standing"

favorite "departures" track changes everyday...

Same here, and I haven't even heard all of the 12 tracks yet.

My current fave is "Lost", highly addictive stuff.
Loving it for the very meaning of the words and the music that expresses the lyrics at the closest way imaginable.
Really amazing dynamics and a dazzling soundscape too. "Washed up glass upon the shore..." sounds exactly like that.
I just can't get enough of this song and when it fades I'm always like 'please, anyone, make this go on forever...'.

I wonder if the track fades in the same way on the record?

yeah that's the track. last track to make the album, almost wasn't on there, then was almost a hidden one, then turned out to be on there. mixed that one lightning fast last hour of the last day in fluxivity. magic.

REAL MAGIC. So glad the track made the record eventually!!
Somehow I can't quite believe that you got this track mixed down within only one (?) hour, that's amazing.

Thanks
