RedGirl76 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I love the lyrics - simple but really uplifting. It's definately one of my faves on the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcoldplayer Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 THE COLDPLAY CONCERT WAS AMAZING. So. Freakin'. Awesome. They played one of the songs of their new album, Lost!, twice because the second one was being recorded for a video. So if you see it, just know I'm in the audience. Fun!

Fixed Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 It's so popular because of the great harmony in the "every river that I tried to cross" part. Will sounds great when he sings that bit live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyduckette Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I usually skip it. Not a favourite at all :( I find it cheesy. Prefer the other version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPRani Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I think the lyrics are great, cant wait to see this song live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiminy Cricket Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Kind of gone off this song now. "And I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off". Bitterly ironic, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexman331 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 This so is popular because it is the most commercial song on the entire album... BUT... Coldplay also proves (with Viva La Vida (song) ) that you don't have to be commericial to make it big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiG Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I can understand the perspectives of both the 'lovers' and 'haters' but as i personally love the song i gotta support the lovers The track is just so inspiring and uplifting, it gets you excited you know! It makes a perfectly horrible day, feel a little less horrible It reminds me that, i can get through even the worst of times Plus the beat is just sooo WOW... i try and dance like Chris Martin when i listen 2 it ! ahahah:stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I think the lyrics are great, cant wait to see this song live! It's absolutely brilliant live!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm-Edge Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 This track is like Talk. Its got a catchy rift. Okay lyrics and radio friendly. Its a track out on the album to sell the album....its what those in the biz call a single! It has taken Reigns spot for worst track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isab3lla Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I love both versions. Actually, Lost! was the first song on the album that I liked most when I heard it for the first time. But I agree that it's not a typical Coldplay song and it's not the best song on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks22 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Finally I can also listen to Viva la vida and death and all his friends...and I have to say I love Lost!, I love the organs, the beat (ok I'm not totally against RnB or HipHop) , and the message (I'm just waiting til the shine wears off ) and especially the whole part at the end with just the organs, I always wanted to hear something like this... In my opinion the beat even underlines the message of not giving up... without the beat it would not sound the same strong way. Somehow Lost! reminds of an old song of Alice Cooper :D, but don't ask me which one... Edit: I know which song: it's Hello Hooray but just the chorus...

nmsv Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 people really like the fish part too, its very clever Exactly! I love that part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Live Life Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I think I was 'ruined' by the beautiful acoustic version too, but I've slowly come round to the album version. When I'm in a very bright mood I love it, and it's great for dancing - really great - but most other times I'd prefer to hear Lost? I think I'm going to make a CD with the acoustic version for that one track on instead (with LiJ Acoustic as the 'kimchi only' bonus track :)) The other thing I'd like to do, but don't have the technical skill, is to merge the two versions, with Lost? as a base which slowly adds in elements from Lost! I'd also really love to hear a Gospel version of Lost? A Gospel version would sound great! I can just see the ironic video now too, with religous imagery and Chris banging away on the tambourine!

Viva la Vida~LiveLife Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ok so Lost! is mainly for the mainstream people who don't listen to anything but singles. Lost? is for coldplay purist who don't like Lost! Lost+ is for the lovers of rap/hiphop and Jay-Z and Lost@ is for the lovers of live version. See the EP accomodates for everyone.

starfish42 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'm fascinated by Chris' dancing to Lost in concerts. I've never seen anyone move with more soul and beauty. He does some fancy footwork too! I especially like his dancing in Fix You and Lovers in Japan as well. To see that is worth the price of the ticket. I also like when Chris moves around in a circle like a Whirling Dervish. He's intoxicating and a joy to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starfish42 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 honestly coldplay plays it live alot and its on the hot 100 charts while songs like death and all his friends , cementaries of london & strawberry dont get played at all! honestly Lost! is the only coldplay song i hate because it is over done and that hiphop beat is annoying i like the Lost acoustic version though that should have been on the album To answer the original question posed in this thread: When I first heard it, I honestly wasn't captured by it. I thought it had a mediocre appeal, and I wasn't excited by it at all. However, like many Coldplay songs, it was Chris' presentation of the song and his soulful interpretation of it through dance that captured me. "Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more" is true. It was Chris' enthusiasm as he sings and dances to the song that won me over to make Lost! one of my favorite Coldplay songs. My goal is to be able to dance as Chris does. For one thing, it seems to keep him in excellent physical shape. He's beautiful physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Chaser Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Lost? is the best version, by far. Lost! is ok, but not much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 While a lot of live performances are superior to their recordings, I feel that "Lost!" live is an infinitely superior experience. To be honest, I didn't care for the song beforehand, and I think it's lyrics are the worst on the album (yes, I prefer 42 even). But it's a fantastic song to clap along to, and while I wouldn't quite call it an "anthem", it creates quite a bit of energy. Like I've said in other threads, though, I'd like to see "Lost?" replace it on the next tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovers.in.nj Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 It's catchy and has a good beat. There's nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
