Lost Dog

Описание: Notes:
I just had the riff for this and don't even remember writing the song, I wrote it so fast one morning. It was called "From the Back of the Room" when I started making it 'cause I had no idea what to call it. Then, as I started recording, I remember thinking, "Woah, this is really good. Like, this is a really good song. And clearly it should be called Lost Dog." I think there's a lot going on in it. Sometimes I listen and think it's about how the world has almost completely moved on from covid, despite it still being a huge deal, and the pain of having to read the news of thousands of deaths every day will just be something that some of us carry privately while everyone else wants us to move on. It also reminds me a lot of the vibe of Last Year at Marienbad, which is the scenery I picture when I sing it. And then the solo is very much me trying to channel Buckingham Green by Ween (can you tell I like Ween?). It felt pretty undeniable as I was making it and I think I really stepped up to the plate once I realized how special it was. It also really calmed down any insecurities I had about "Where Is Your Dog Now?" as a band name because it seemed like this song appeared as a mission statement for the whole project. Hope I can top it!

The 26th song recorded for the album

Lyrics:
I could see your smile from the back of the room
And I didn't understand why you left so soon
I followed in your footsteps, but you were nowhere to be found
I walked past the garden, didn't hear any sounds

Feeling like a lost dog trying to get back home
Sleeping in the dumpster and I'm all alone

I went back inside, no one had a second thought
They dragged me to the piano and they said, "Show us what you got!"
I played your favorite song, there were no dry eyes around
Then they asked me to play it again, but I just broke down

Feeling like a lost dog trying to get back home
Sleeping in the dumpster and I'm all alone

Every night and every day
I search those grounds where you went away
People look at me all strange
But I don't know how to change

Feeling like a lost dog trying to get back home
Sleeping in the dumpster and I'm all alone
Feeling like a lost dog trying to get back home
Sleeping in the dumpster and I'm all alone
