You Found Me

It's been months since season 4 of Lost ended. With season 5 just around the corner (January 2009), the following video was released. The video is to the song "You Found Me" by The Fray, and it's composed almost entirely of clips from the previous seasons.



There are a couple cool things about the video. First, is the hidden image buried in the video (did you see it?). It's only on the screen for a split second. Here it is for those of you who didn't see:

My guess is that "Ajira Airways" will be the airline that the Oceanic 6 take to get back to the island.

The other interesting is the song itself. Isaac Slade, the pianist and singer for the band, said the following about the song:

"You Found Me is a tough song for me. It's about the disappointment, the heart ache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you’re let down, sometimes you’re the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I’m still right in the thick of it. There’s some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest."

Talk about powerful.

I found God on the corner of first and Amistad/where the west was all but won/all alone, smoking his last cigarette/I said 'Where've you been?'/He said ask anything/Where were you when everything was falling apart?/All my days were spent by the telephone/It never rang, and all I needed was a call./That never came from the corner of first and Amistad/

Lost and insecure/You found me/You found me/Lying on the floor/Surrounded, surrounded/Why’d you have to wait?/Where were You?/Where were You?/Just a little late/You found me/You found me

In the end everyone ends up alone/Losing her, the only one who’s ever known/who I am, who I’m not, who I want to be/No way to know how long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure/You found me/You found me/Lying on the floor/Surrounded, surrounded/Why’d you have to wait?/Where were you?/Where were you?/Just a little late/You found me/You found me

Early morning, city breaks/I’ve been calling for years and years and years and years/and you never left me no messages/You never send me no letters/You got some kind of nerve, taking all I want

Lost and insecure/You found me/You found me/Lying on the floor/Where were You?/Where were You?

  1. Hey,

    I was wondering if you'd seen this book on Matthew Good...I heard you liked him.
