Michael: "Maybe something of the bittersweet tone of this tune owes to the fact that, lyric-less, I wrote the chorus guitar part in London on my last visit there with Summer. Before the record was released, we had a few people over to hear the final mixes in sequence. Again we try not to blow the anon of our celebrated pals but just had to say that our buddy, Neal Huff was invaluable, quietly listening through playback. We sweated over the sequence as much as the the mixes and he gave us the most emphatic response confirming these last three tracks - Anyday, Comin' Home and Lost Life - as the truth, as deliverance from the depths of grief to the stubborn faith in love and deliverance. He liked this track for its straddling the two - the longing and the love. What, I think, put him over was the next track - again affirming the sequence - because he just looked up and said: "Oh, my god, it's triumphant (Lost Life) -it's a march!" Thanks, pal."
