"The Lost" was a folk song once performed publicly by April MacLean, as her mother cheered her on. She played the violin to her own vocals. (TV: The Lost [+]Loading...["The Lost (TV story)"])
April began writing the song after the defeat of Mab, as a tribute to Thomas Laneford and all the others that Mab had killed over the years. (AUDIO: Gifted [+]Loading...["Gifted (audio story)"])
Lyrics[[edit] | [edit source]]
Here is a song for the lost,
Here is a song for the unreturned,
Here is a song for all of us,
Who stepped away from home.
Here is a song for the wanderer,
A song for the lonely soul,
Who's brought only her own heart,
As she goes on alone.
[Instrumental]
For the road is full of the unreturned,
As through the night they roam,
But the lost may greet,
Lost souls they meet,
And each may find their home.
[Instrumental]
To share your heart and never part,
and in it find a home.
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The track was co-written by Jim Moray, Blair Mowat and Patrick Ness, and followed "Nightvisitor" as the second original song on Class. "The Lost" was the original song first to feature diegetically.
Sophie Hopkins indeed recorded the song, which can be heard on Blair Mowat's SoundCloud account.
In the episode, the instrumental sections are played under other scenes. The scene in which Varun Singh was murdered by Corakinus interrupted the second instrumental and part of the final verse that is on the soundtrack release version:
If home is the people that you meet,
It's wherever you may roam.
To share your heart and never part,
and in it find a home.
