This demo of “I’ve Been Losing You” was recorded in 1984 at Rendezvous alongside several other tracks but wasn’t professionally re-recorded until 1986.
This demo is wildly different from the final version, it is a lot moodier and has a more synth-like composition similar to their first album.
The...
Life is a place
You will remember well
In the darker nights
I've been losing you
I was there with you
Alone, now what can I do
The sun is days away
I have lost my way
Please now
Talk to me
Tell me
Things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
I've been losing
You've been acting strange
I don't know what to do
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
Please now
Talk to me
Tell me
Things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
I've been losing you
Please now
Talk to me
Tell me
Things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
I've been losing you
(Please now)
Talk to me
Tell me
I don't know what to do
(Aaaaa-aaah)
I have lost my way
I've been losing you
Hey-hey-hey-hey...
I've been losing you
I've been losing you
I've been losing you
Oh-yeah
I've been losing you
Oh-yeah
I've been losing you
Oh-yeah
I've been losing you
Oh-yeah
I've been losing you
Oh-yeah
(I lost my umbrella last night)
Oh-yeah
Oh-yeah
(So what? It kept me dry!)
Oh-yeah
(I had to go out in the rain all day, I'm soaking wet)
