I spent countless hours of my youth poring over the liner notes of every record I could get my hands on. No detail, from studio location to assistant engineer, went unappreciated. Lyrics were always a welcome bonus.
As a young, wannabe musician I was particularly interested in the songwriting credits to learn who did what in the band. It was usually: Music by Guitar Player X, Words by Singer Y. But sometimes there would be a wildcard.
The theme of being lost and found again is a popular one in both secular and non-secular music. It got me to thinking what would happen if Lost and Found wrote a song together. Press play and crank it up! Lyrics are included.
The saved will ring the bell
The damned will beat the drum
As this day is lost
So shall tomorrow come
Join me in a song
There are verses for the weak and the strong
We all know the sound
Of music by the Lost
And words by the Found
Let the Angels pluck the string
Let the Demons blow the horn
As we die today
So shall we be reborn
Join me in a song
There are verses for the right and for wrong
We all know the sound
Of music by the Lost
