“Lost” by Meat Puppets

"Lost" comes from Meat Puppets II, the band's second album, which SST Records released in April 1984. Curt Kirkwood wrote it, sings it and plays guitar, with Cris Kirkwood on bass and Derrick Bostrom on drums, and Spot handled the engineering.

It belongs to the record where Meat Puppets stopped simply hurtling forward. Their debut had been a smear of hardcore noise with vocals nobody could make out; II still has punk in its blood, but it lets country rock, ballads and psychedelia wander in as well, and the result is a stranger, roomier record that critics and fans count among the band's best. Later on, the two Kirkwoods sat in with Nirvana on MTV Unplugged in New York for three of its songs.
