Sophie Allison, aka Soccer Mommy, has spent the better part of the year preparing to share her forthcoming album Evergreen. The indie-rock singer-songwriter previewed some of her unreleased music on her The Lost Shows tour — including the wistful “Lost,” a hauntingly beautiful song that feels like a soundtrack. In the lyrics, she explores the complexities of her relationship with someone whose loss she’s grieving. While it reflects on the struggle to reckon with a loved one who’s always with you but also not there, the song is as much about healing as it is about hurt. The stripped-down acoustic guitar, paired with strings and the sounds of Mother Nature, gives the recording an intimate, almost eerie feeling, like we’re eavesdropping.
