Description: "All For Lost" is a song by Jay Neilson. I get home from work normally at 2:30am, for some reason I picked up my guitar and decided to write AND record this song...before bed. It's very one-take and lo-fi, too much distortion, etc etc. It captured the song though.

catchy rock??? Listen for yourself.

Welcome, there isn't much to say that would make you understand what I do better than just letting you know who I am, which is Jay. I'm the kind of guy who would rather stay inside and write then go outside and play, forever. I'm the kind of guy who falls in love with almost everything, finds it hard to capture it all in a song so has to keep on going. I may be wrong but for me, a good songwriter can't be one that sits back and smells the coffee and relaxes, a real songwriter is basically (in a nice way) tormented by creation, and that is me.

Story behind the song

Very very quickly the song kinda wrote itself, lyrically it's pretty much like a journal entry.
No matter what happens in my past, ya gotta look back at the BEST of it, not the worst. Just because you have hard times doesn't mean you count it ALL lost. Things will be fine. Life goes on. Smiles never cease, they just take breaks sometimes. Anyway...

Lyrics

Don't see it comin
exibit A, it's evident you're better off runnin, from this
another love and ya thought she'd love ya better
but ya end up with nothin

yeah I was broken, wondered what I'm here for
I was hopin, pick me up off the floor
it was over, felt so bad but now I feel I'm on the mend

So here we go, this isn't the end
loved and I lost and I'm starting again
cause you never know, can't count it all for lost
fill me up, let's do it again
and everytime you think it's over,
never know, can't count it all for lost

So here's to me I'm, I'm back again
yeah here's to me I've finished my cryin
and I've been pushin, pupuuushin at the ceiling
cause I feel like flyin

yeah I was broken, wondered what I came for
I was hopin you'd pick me up off the floor
it was over, felt so bad but now I know I'm on the mend

So here we go, this isn't the end
loved and I lost and I'm starting again
cause you never know, can't count it all for lost
fill me up, let's do it again
and everytime you think it's over,
oh no, can't count it all for lost
