about

“Lost in the City” was written based on Anna's observations (as a country person spending time in the city) of city life for vulnerable people. Anna was moved as she observed and learnt about homelessness and the irony of being isolated and lonely within a mass of people.

Anna's vocal coach encouraged Anna to record this song whilst being literally in the dark, the result is a vulnerable vocal treatment and thought provoking song about life in cities.

The song has received fantastic feedback and was launched and featured on the national radio program 'OzMade'.

lyrics

I’m running in circles
Finding the time
Trying to step out and
Staying the line

My heads turning purple
I’m falling behind
Suddenly now
I don’t feel so blind
I don’t feel so blind

And I have lost my space
There’s none left in this place

I’m lost in the city
Where I can’t call my home
I’m handing out pity
To ones that I don’t know

And the blocks build up
High above the dirt
And beneath it all
Someone is still hurt
Is still hurt.

I didn’t know someone could feel
So lonely with so many people around

And I have lost my space
There’s none left in this place

I’m lost in the city
Where I can’t call my home
I’m handing out pity
To ones that I don’t know

And the blocks build up
High above the dirt
And beneath it all
Someone is still hurt
Is still hurt.

And I have lost my space
