procrastinator Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I don't care what anyone else thinks, this song is super-dooper. Bollywood and trippy strings and simple lyrics and it makes you bop your head. It's poppy but not really poppy. I don't know, I can't explain it. I'm a fan anyway.

Pseudonym Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I like the acoustic version better, but the album one is good. It reminds me of "We Will Rock You" with the drum beat.:laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig-El Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I agree with that "coldplay love it more than us" or at least more than me cause I don't like it that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisis-tx Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Lost! - Best Song on Album I've listened to this new album at least 100 times already .... One thing I can say about it is that it gets better every time you listen to it. The next thing I can say is that none of the songs are bad ... Another thing is that it has a wide variety of songs and styles that are hugely pleasing to the ears ... But the most important thing I take away from this album is that Lost! is the best song on the album and Lovers in Japan is #2 .... Viva la Vida is ok, but seems too contrived for my taste ... in fact i find it one of the weaker songs on the album, well behind some of the less focused on songs, but Lost! definitely has everything I wanted from this offering ...

StephBerryman Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 This is my favorite...there's just something about this song, I can't explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkahard Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 since I saw it live... its now one of my favorite songs on the record. :blush: Totally agreeing with you. I was kind of on the fence about it, but once I saw it at MSG, it was such a rocking song. The percussion became really evident live. Now I can't stop listening to it!! Definitely catapulted itself into my Top 5 on the CD, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainloafers Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 After the Daily Show performance and various other live performances. I have to say this song has been the biggest grower on the album for me. Still not my favorite but by no means the worst and I am not nearly as disapointed with it as I once was. I used to think I liked the accoustic version better. You know Lost? over Lost! Now my fav is "Lost*" <----- Live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majgirl Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have to say its been the acoustic version "lost?" for me, as far as the album goes. But live the song is great!!! I really think the guitar comes through in a much more rocking way, and I like how Will's regular drum kit shines through a bit more. On the CD I think it just sounds like a little much for me, and as I mentioned above I don't hear enough of the other instruments over the drum beat.

mygdalom Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I love it too :) Maybe they love this song because it talks about fight and not deacay. There are a lot of Coldplay haters. You can tell me this will be an offtopic comment but it reminds me an other song from Dire Straits i love too: Baby I see this world has made you sad Some people can be bad The things they do, the things they say But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears I'll chase away those restless fears That turn your blue skies into grey Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now Baby when I get down I turn to you And you make sense of what I do I know it isn't hard to say But baby just when this world seems mean and cold Our love comes shining red and gold And all the rest is by the way Why worry, there should be laughter after pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macintosh Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I think Chris sings too much about lost things from Parachutes till Viva era, but this song is something marvellous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasmemris Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I really like the chorus in Lost. The "every river that you try to cross" lyric is a great moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcd199317 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This was always my favorite song of the album. A mix of chruch, rock and gospel music in this song and this sound so epic of how this song bulding around of this chruch ambiance. So different and so good excellent. The live was also so excellent. Also, like the rest of the album, Chris voice was so profound and so beautiful to debut of end. A magic moment of listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
