Track from San Francisco-based artist, Aoede's latest album Push and Pull (2008). Compelling soaring, female vocals, reflective; contemplative; what to listen to when you want to go back but know that you can't...

A close friend was the inspiration for "I Lost, You Win." She confided in me her very personal story which became the basis for the song.

I Lost, You Win
I carried it inside
Concealed like a secret-
But my body was alive
Was sure you could feel it
If only I knew that the ache would stay
If only I knew that I can’t go back
I lost
I lost
You win
You win
A steel-plated mind
Refused to explore it
The timing wasn’t right
You chose to ignore it
If only I knew that the ache would stay
If only I knew that I can’t go back
I lost
(Was you and me before, baby
But I thought that maybe
this time you’’d be swayed)
I lost
(So used to getting your way, boy
But I’m not your play toy
And this aint some game)
You win
You win
I lost
I lost
You win
You win
I lost
I lost
c. Aoede/Lisa Sniderman December, 2006
