Anouk ~ Lost

I first heard the song "Lost" during a dance routine on SYTYCD. It was only after listening to Erlend Bratland's version that I learned it was a cover of an artist named Anouk - a dutch pop-rock singer. Soon after I found myself listening to every song I could find by Anouk. I don't care much for her "rock" music but her slower well written songs are my cup of tea. "Lost" is featured on Anouk's album Hotel New York.

Lost by Anouk lyrics

If roses are meant to be red and violets to be blue,
why isn't my heart meant for you?

My hands longing to touch you, but I can barely breathe -
Starry eyes that make me melt right in front of me.

Lost in this world, I even get lost in this song,
and when the lights go down that is where I'll be found.

This music's irresistible. Your voice makes my skin crawl.
Innocent and pure, I guess you heard it all before.

Mister Inaccessible - will this ever change?
One thing that remains the same is you're still a picture in a frame.

Lost in this world, I even get lost in this song,
and when the lights go down that is where I'll be found.

I get lost in this world. I get lost in your eyes
and when the lights go down that's where I'll be found.
Yeah yeah..

I get lost in this world. I get lost in your eyes
and when the lights go down am I the only one?


Here's a link to Erland Bratland singing a cover of Anouk's "Lost".
