Twelve damn years.  And still the heartache and disbelief persist.  American treasure Randy Newman recently performed Losing You, his poignant ode to a lost one, and has just released the video. We assume the timing of the video’s release is as an homage to the ones we lost on 9/11/01.  Here’s to them (may they rest in peace) and to Randy Newman.  After watch another performance of the song by Newman, including an introduction by the songwriter in which he explains the song’s theme.  At bottom are the song’s lyrics.

“Was a fool with my money
And I lost every dime
And the sun stopped shining
And it rained all the time
Did set me back some
But I made it through
But I’ll never get over losing you

Do you know, I love you
Do you remember me
Should’ve told you
Cause it’s true
I get over losing anything
But I’ll never get over
Losing you

When you’re young
And there’s time
You forget the past
You don’t think that you will
But you do

But I know
That I don’t have time to wait
And I’ll never get over
Losing you

I’ve been cruel
I’ve been hungry
Not for a while
I guess most of my dreams have come true
With it all here around me
No peace do I find
Cause I’ll never get over losing you
No I’ll never get over losing you”
