The song delves into the topics around change, disappointment, and feelings of detachment from what was once known. The emotional context is strongly formulated along with the conversations from the lyrics. Starting with a soft yet enticing synth melody, gradually morphing into an elaborate and grand sound, the song has a nice build-up style that is engaging. The dream-like production gives a soft, ethereal feel to the atmosphere and captivates listeners, drawing them to its emotional focus. Starling easily steals the show with his singing, showcasing both the fragilities and greater powers found in his voice. With lyrics abstract yet familiar, fan favourites of his include lines such as ‘Maybe we lost it, maybe it’s gone’, all leaving strong impressions.
There is a structure to this song with the prismatic synths, soft beats, and vast choruses that all add layers to the song. The song feels new despite the structure being similar to The Ghost’s style. Alex Starling’s fans will find “Maybe We Lost It” a good song. It’s a long song but honestly, it’s a delight to listen to once the final note has been hit. It’s the type of music that we shouldn’t miss particularly if we are into synth pop. This song is worth being in your playlist.
