The feelin' in you heart, with every beat
Lose your love, you don't need a thing
Hold it in a word, and never speak
Why won't you lose yourself
Why won't you lose yourself
Why won't you lose yourself
At all, at all
Close your eyes, and skip what you dream
You feel it in your books, but never reads
Send your touch, but you can't feel a thing
You try not to look at the fantasy
Why won't you lose yourself
Why won't you lose yourself
Why won't you lose yourself
At all
Wont you lose yourself
Why won't you lose yourself
Won't you lose yourself
At all
Tell your lies, place what you need
I see it in your eyes, you'll never reach
You can't keep quite, you can't even scream
You hold it in your heart
Leave the rest to me
Why won't you lose yourself
Why won't you lose yourself
Why won't you lose yourself at all
Why won't you lose yourself
Why won't you lose yourself
Won't you lose yourself at all
from songfacts:
This song was inspired by one of the band's last shared moments with the vocalist's late dad. Robert Levon Been recalled to Q magazine: "The last time we were all together on the last tour was when we played a show at Sumer Sonic in Japan. We went on, then Jónsi went on after us. All of us were really moved by his show. It's one of the few times we've all stood side of the stage together and watched. Usually on tour everyone scatters. It was one of the last times we were all together and were really moved.
"When 'Lose Yourself' came along later on we all shared that moment together again with that song," he added. "It was definitely inspired by him but it wasn't something that we talked about. We didn't aim to get back to that spirit, but it was definitely understood. Every movement and every feeling was connected. I'm proud of that one because I haven't ever felt so connected to Peter [Hayes, guitar] and Leah [Shapiro, drums] in the same room without any words been said. We were communicating purely musically. It came pretty fast, as the best things do."
Bumping from 8 to 9 after reading this. Seen this band live several years ago and they absolutely rocked -- completely feeling what they're playing.
Stop boxing your world up in comparisons... Free your mind to be in the moment.
If you keep making boxes - nothing will ever be any different than those boxes.
I need a new box....

Amen tm, the title says it all.. "Lose Yourself"..
Too many people are getting so caught up in all this wokeness and apropriation this, copying that.. "Why won't you lose yourself.."
Just open your mind, set it free, and live in the NOW.
If you keep making boxes - nothing will ever be any different than those boxes.

You think Coldplay could fix you?
Anyone else hearing a bit of that Coldplay guitar riff on "Fix You"?
No one else.

You should fix you instead.

Thanks for posting - very interesting and helps explain the power of the song
It remember me also the ones who are leaving earth too soon. The ones we love, the ones we miss...

thanks RP for this great moment of music. rate 10
People, this BMRC number is pointless noodling. They had a song or two that rocked, a bit, once upon a time didn't they? But they've fallen under the spell of Radiohead pointless whining. Sad.
Please keep Radiohead out of here.

Well said, Highlowsel, well enough to prompt a +1 from this guy, and I'll listen closer next time for a possible re-bump to the 8, Long Live RP!!

You're listening to the wrong station then.
if you like garage rock then it is a must go...
the venue was boiling for solid 2 hours...
Loved his father's work and was able to see him live once back in the 80's. Song is rather bittersweet, so i can see that.
+1. Doleful, bluesy, strong groove, trance-like. I imagine them playing with eyes closed, absorbed in the music.
That's a fair comment...
Something has happened at this station recently,,mostly boring insipid songs lately..
From Wikipedia:
The band made the first single from the record available, a cover of The Call's 1989 hit "Let the Day Begin", for free download on their official website. The decision to record the song was a tribute to Robert's father Michael, who used his experience from The Call to help BRMC before his death in the last couple of years. The single became Q Magazine's track of the day. The band have also released the Let the Day Begin EP for free, consisting of the single and the album track "Returning", made available for streaming on the official website.
Simply eternal.
Ya, that guitar has me hooked! Just like the Porcupine Tree song 'Half Light' you don't want it to end.
Yah, almost kinda Cocteau Twins-y near the end.

And I love it.
In my mind...it's summer, climbing Mt. Massive in Colorado, the air is thin, 70 degrees...the sun is warm...
It's summer...yeah...summer...no worries. No pain. That dizzying feeling of altitude...

Good grief - this song soars with beauty and sadness. What sort of shallow existence do you inhabit?
They really sound like they were on Quaaludes when they recorded this song...
Yes, but I can't wait for the inevitable out-of-control fuzz-feedback-guitar solo that's comin' up RIGHT FUCKIN NOW YAAAARWWW BABY.
...ever since the effects of 333 they've made a conscientious effort to explore more-experimental material in lieu of the rough-and-tumble rock sound they cultivated early in their career; specter at the feast is hardly unprecedented, and I think their strongest effort yet...it's got some powerful subtlety woven throughout, so it challenges the listener a bit, but rewards accordingly...
You folks are making some great points, but still this song makes me yearn to take a couple dozen Valium and crawl under the plush sofa in my office and mindlessly drool all over the crushed carpet as I lose myself...
but that's just me...
I have still left this song unrated.... I guess I would give it a four if I rated songs in the middle...
This band has done some great stuff— and I mean really great stuff— but this album is not getting good reviews right now... to sum it up, critics are calling this album dreary...
Laz, your opinion counts more for me than those paid fool parrots of the corporate fan-zines, from which you are culling these utterly lame and worthless excerpts. Write what you think...but take some time and give us more detail than how people in your church feel about it...
Bill - a suggestion:
"why don't you lose this song"

Now what?
Dreary crap.
