Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time and author Jim Adams from A Unique Title For Me is our current guest host. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.
This week’s theme is “Air/Earth/Fire/Water.”
~~~~~~~~~~
I’m sure I’m not the only one who went in this direction this week, but I chose a group with one of the prompt words in their name – Air Supply!
Lost in Love originally appeared on the group’s Life Support album in 1979, which was released in Australia. The group re-recorded the song for the album Lost In Love in 1980 and this version was released as a single in the US, reaching number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
FUN FACTS:
- Founding members Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell met on May 12, 1975 while performing in the Australian production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Jesus Christ Superstar.
- Lost in Love spent four weeks at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 1980 and topped the Billboard adult contemporary chart for six weeks that same year.
- Although their music had some commercial success, Russell claimed, on a 1995 DVD, that he and Hitchcock were so poor that they checked the backs of hotel sofas for change so that they could buy bread to make toast.
There are two music videos for Lost in Love. One, an official video, has Air Supply singing on a blue background, while their entire band of additional personnel play their music for them. The other one has Air Supply singing live at a concert.
And you get to see them both!
Enjoy!

Lost in Love
And it don’t count for much
But I’m not letting go
I believe there’s still much to believe in
Reach for a star and I’ll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me
I’ve been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I’m back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
Reach for a star and I’ll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me
I’ve been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I’m back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
I’ve been loving you too long
It started so easy
You want to carry on
Was I thinking aloud and fell out of touch?
But I’m back on my feet and eager to be what you wanted
Now I’m lost, lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love
Lost in love, lost in love, lost in love

Did you know that their favorite band is AC/DC. Kind of odd when you consider the music they play. Really nice.

I knew I wouldn’t be the only one to consider Air Supply, but I’m really surprised no one posted “Earth Angel.” 🙂

Yes!!! I mentioned to Frank last night that someone would do Air Supply and we both agreed. I had this on 45. It’s amazing how many songs today were in my 45 collection. Thanks for sharing Felicia! Just perfect! 🙂

They got a lot of flack for their sound, but I enjoyed this group and this is my favorite of all their songs. 🙂
