Lost and FoundUB40

Released: June 9, 2008

Songwriter: UB40

Producer: UB40

It's so very easy for me to disappear
No-one seems to see me; it's as if I don't exist
I'm going nowhere and I know I won't be missed

Chorus:
I was lost, now I'm found
Looks like finally, somebody up there's got an eye on me
Underground, chained and bound, suddenly I'm free
I was lost, now I've found a reason to be me

Everyone is waiting, everyday is just the same
Everybody needs some happiness to counteract the pain
Maybe somewhere, someday, someone will notice me
I could find myself again and hope and dignity yeah

Chorus:
I was lost (what made you leave me?)
Now I'm found (what made you go?)
Looks like finally, somebody up there's got an eye on me
(You never need me)
Underground, chained and bound, suddenly I'm free
(You let me go)
I was lost, now I've found a reason to be me

UB40

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
