Artist: Three Days Grace

Year: 2009
Place Of Origin: Norwood, Ontario, Canada
Years Active: 1997 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Lost In You" appears to be a post break-up song. It shines a light on how two people in a relationship can see it's demise very differently. The vocalist is still very much in love with the girl, almost infatuated with her, like he is nothing without her. The girl, on the other hand, seems more than content with no longer having a relationship with the vocalist. He wants to "get lost in her". She prefers he just get lost!!

MY THOUGHTS ON THREE DAYS GRACE:
Three Days Grace, the alternative metal/post-grunge/alternative rock type band from Canada, actually formed out of the ashes of the band Groundswell which formed in 1992 and featured Adam Gontier (vocals/guitar), Brad Walst (bass) and Neil Sanderson (drums) as well as two other members. That band broke up in 1995 and Gontier, Walst and Sanderson decided to carry on as a band and in 1997, Three Days Grace was formed. This band was very successful right out of the gate. Their first three albums went double platinum, triple platinum and platinum respectively. All six of their albums charted on the Billboard 200, three of which landed in the top five! Unfortunately, after four albums in which he poured his soul into the songs, lead vocalist/guitarist Adam Gontier abruptly left the band, basically saying that he just wanted to start a new chapter in his life. Bassist Brad Walst recruited his brother Matt, who was singing for the band My Darkest Days, to become the new lead vocalist of Three Days Grace. With Matt in tow, the band has dropped two more albums, the most recent being 2018's "Outsider". Three Days Grace is very active as a band, having dropped a new album consistently every three years. They are also one of the more successful rock acts of the early 2000's to the present. In fact, Three Days Grace holds the record for having the most #1 songs (15) on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, edging out Van Halen who had 13 #1's. I've been a fan of Three Days Grace since they dropped their self-titled debut album in 2003. I have to admit, I wasn't happy when Gontier left the band. It's hard when the voice of the band leaves. Only a few bands seem like they can pull it off. Three Days Grace has done a good job with that as Matt Walst has been a good replacement but nothing can touch those first four albums with Gontier at the helm. Just as I spoke highly of Breaking Benjamin for last week's blog, I believe that Three Days Grace is a top tier alt metal/rock, post-grunge band as well.
