about

"Lost & Found" was written in 2018 and still applies today, perhaps even more so. One might be able to guess what it's about, but to put it simply, I still can't believe how some people can support certain leaders who have proven themselves in spades time and time again that they are unfit to make a sandwich, let alone lead a nation. Musically, this song is a reflection of the album itself. It's got major juxtaposition of very mellow parts against heavy parts; it has minimal low-key bits that build up from very little to add more and more elements; and most of all, it includes surprises where I get to lead the listener down a path that appears to be going one way, but then take a wild turn down a different road. I am proud of the construction of this song and humbled to find out how well it was received. This is especially true because the way I crafted "Lost & Found" inspired the way I purposefully set out to create the entire album There is No Light Without the Dark.

lyrics

Your crimson cap brings you
Ugly orange pride
You claim to love the red, white, and blue
But your heart's black inside

There's never gonna be a truce with you
I learned my lesson last time 'round
They'll always make a lame excuse for you
But your soul is in the lost and found

You held your nose up high ...
But I just held my nose
You even believed his crazy lies
But, really, I suppose
It's not a big surprise
That your little mind was blown
You were fooled by his disguise:
A sheep in the big bad wolf's clothes

I'd say you're brainwashed, but I must refrain
For that to be, you'd have to have a brain

There's never gonna be a truce with you
I learned my lesson last time 'round
They'll always make a lame excuse for you
But your soul is in the lost and found
