Lost in You is a song by British singer
Background
In the liner notes of Storyteller – The Complete Anthology: 1964–1990, Stewart said of the song: "It was a Wednesday evening and we'd been hard at it in the studio, coming up with nothing. I said to the assembled band that Wednesday evening was football practice night [and] asked Andy Taylor to experiment while I was gone and maybe have something when I returned at 11pm. ["Lost in You"] was the result."[4]
Music video
The song's music video was directed by Daniel Kleinman and Jonathan Kaplan, and produced by Daniel Stewart and Beth Broday for Limelight Productions.[5] It received heavy rotation on MTV.[6]
Critical reception
Upon its release, Billboard described the song as a "straight-ahead rock item", adding "[Stewart] sounds as good as ever on a strong song with equally powerful production."[7] Cash Box noted the "very nice chorus hook" and "very nice string parts in the chorus". They added that Stewart provided his "usual consistent performance, with a voice that was born to rock".[8] Music & Media considered the song an "excellent rocker" with "a boiling production".[9] Richard Lowe of Smash Hits described "Lost in You" as a "terrific rock record that sounds a teensy weensy bit U2-ish".[10]
