themightyhumanrace - Lost and Found

This was the first song I ever really wrote circa winter 2005. I always kind of thought of it as my ultra catchy "pop" song. I admit when I was trying to write it I thought I was trying to rip off the killers with the weird high vibratoey voice. The other was more an afterthought. I didn't really know how to sing, the monotone was sorta just a delivery device for the big hook at the chorus. Haha. I still love singing this one.

P.S.--the photo was taken a little later, but it definitely depicts me from that time period. Sitting at my friend John's frustrated with the world, eating out of a pot my grandmother gave me we'd had in the family my whole life, not wanting to waste water on dishes. military surplus, polyester, tyler durden to the core...

This song was written shortly after my "fiance" had broken up with me, after numerous bitter poetry, it was the first positive uplifting thing I could conjure about the experience, thinking of her and her little brother, and just being grateful she was alive, even if she didn't talk to me.
