Three Days Grace usually picks excellent singles. "I Hate Everything About You," "Pain," "Animal I Have Become," and "Break" just to name a few. But aside from "Break" I find myself disagreeing with their latest choices for singles from their latest album "Life Starts Now." "Break" was a great first single. "The Good Life" was a decent follow up. A good song but not the strongest track on the album. Not to mention it got overplayed on the stations I listen to so I quickly grew tired of it. So far, the same thing is happening with the third single, "World So Cold" in that it's a fine song in itself but not the best on the album. Though thankfully it hasn't been ridiculously overplayed. Yet.
So, this bring me to a series of two songs I want to highlight from the "Life Starts Now" album. Both are some of my most favorite Three Days Grace songs and both are musically incredible and far too overlooked. The one I'll be writing about this week is "Lost In You."
"Lost In You" is a beautiful love song but it's not so easy to determine exactly if it's about a lost love, a longing love, or a new love. It captures an emotion that anyone at any stage of love can relate to. Capitalized by a fantastic bridge, this is easily one of the most well constructed songs on the album.
And what I don't understand is that here's a song that would do amazingly well on pop radio. Breaking Benjamin's "Give Me A Sign" has been doing well on the charts and getting good exposure on pop radio. A song like "Lost In You," I imagine, would do very well in that environment. But that's just my opinion.
Thanks for reading and as always, check out the song right below.
