Lost
About the single
On 4 March 2005, Lost was released as the second single from Anouk's album Hotel New York. The single was released only as a 2-track CD single in a cardboard sleeve. The B-side is an acoustic live version of Fading, recorded on 14 December 2004 for VARA Radio 3FM. The cover features a photo of Anouk that appears to come from the music video, designed in the same style as the Hotel New York era.
The music video for Lost shows Anouk in a room filled with moving light bulbs, sitting in a bathtub. She is not alone in the tub, but joined by a double of herself. In the clip, the much-discussed tattoo on her arm is clearly visible.
Lost became a major success in the Netherlands, reaching number 2 in the Dutch Top 40. In 2008, the song also gained renewed attention in Norway after Erlend Bratland performed it on Norway's Got Talent, bringing the song back into the charts there.
In January 2012, Lost found a similar afterlife in Denmark, after 17-year-old Ida from Videbæk (who would go on to win that season) sang the song during her audition on X Factor Denmark. The original recording surged in popularity in the days that followed, topping the Danish iTunes download chart and getting heavy airplay on Danish radio.

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
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
Am I the only one
Running from the thunder
Proud as I can be I am
Waiting for the grey to replace the black in me
Daddy, will the sun come up again
You and me, we fail to see
Nothing lasts forever
It's plain to see, you will agree
It's hard to stay together
Will we keep the thieves away
Will we both remember
To make the best of every chance
Or will we just surrender
Shouldn't we be making
Any effort needed to
Stop our dreams from fading
The sky is fading black to blue
We should be together
I am runnin' out of faith
And it takes something more each time
Before I put my heart in your hands daddy
You and me, did we fail to see
No one stays together
No, it won't be easy
You will agree
To make this a forever
