Cowboy Junkies "What I Lost" Official Video

[@JStarStar00]

My father, a towering intellect all his life, faded badly his last few weeks due to cancer which ultimately spread to his brain. He didn't give up but you could see his frustration. He went in and out of lucidity, he'd carry on a normal conversation with no lapses, then he'd just blank out. We tried to be positive and accepting but he resented it, he didn't want to be infantilized. Now in my sixties myself, i get a little shudder when I notice brief memory blips. The road ahead is dark and there may be no road signs.

[@lilymcalister1825]

I understand completely where you are at with this. I feel the same when I can't remember words. I feel your...(fear?) We don't know what the future holds for any of us, so let's just hope for the best. Hang in there. 🫂

[@aprilmalone453]

Wow... what a beautiful, yet tragic expression. And so nicely done. I felt it like a punch to the gut.

[@timberframingbear]

I've been caring for my wife's dad for six years, now. Some days I can get memories and stories; some, I can't. It's like facets of a broken gem. The whole picture will never be there. Reflections and stories might change. He's 101years old. I can't imagine what he's lost

[@michaelkennedy8270]

This is such a potent song about the weakening of the human condition. I have a feeling that the new album is really going to live up to its title.

[@timkelly6985]

Hits home. I am taking care of my wife's grandfather. He is at the final battle with dementia. He was an Air Force veteran and an airline mechanic for decades. I am watching a great man lose all that he ever made of himself. Again, this hits home.

[@repunched106]

God Bless any soldier and God Bless you and your family. Hold strong

[@dmoon9037]

He woke up this morning…those damned Russian wrenches.

[@JStarStar00]

I had two uncles in similar situations plus my father mentioned above. My mother's brother was a navy commander then a high level corporate lawyer for 50 years. He went through a lengthy period of Alzheimer's, progressing from mild impairment to very pronounced near the end. It was a huge burden on my cousins.

[@timkelly6985]

@JStarStar00 , I am so very sorry. It is definitely the most difficult thing I have experienced. It is heartbreaking that I can't do anything to help.

[@sharonramsey715]

No words, really express my feelings on this song. It’s to real for many people, so very sad.

[@sonofadutchman9315]

This has got a Leonard Cohenesqueness sound to it, a raw and brutal subject delivered with sensitivity and understanding. Pure brilliance.

[@bonniehagerty5859]

I lost Everything that I thought was REAL 💔

[@Faydit212]

An iconic band still sounding iconic after all the years! Simply great! Also great that they still exist and keep their own level.

[@desertsandcastles]

Great song, thanks.

[@lilymcalister1825]

What a great song!! I just can't get enuf of her voice, she is sooo talented!!💜💜💜

[@drychaf]

This is what art is for.

[@LUISARAMOSCRICK]

It is touching that you and also Johnny Lydon have composed such beautiful songs about dementia

[@tonvanderlinden1367]

How excellent. looking forward for the new LP

[@wantedthedudetoolate]

I just love her voice❤

[@timryan8306]

What a beautiful, heartbreaking song and video. This band only gets better with age. The home video footage brought tears to my eyes. Amazing job Peter.

[@stevetalia1474]

I lost my Mom due to dementia back in February of 2020. It was like watching my mother die twice. Also, for those of you who will have to deal with losing someone to it in the future. There's a terrible secret associated with the disease. Nobody talks about it except family members in hushed tones of voice. Dementia tears families into little shreds. The sands of our lives with our parents eventually turns into the ashes of Mom and Dad upon their passing.

[@toddwarnke7719]

Buried my dad last week. Thank you for putting words to my feelings.

[@davidjulius760]

Lucky us in France we do have people who manage to travel thanks to music and they bring us nice, unique , powerful sounds from abroad to radio as RTL and just like that , After a shitty day , manage to make me feel very good listening to New stuff ....at least few minutes if delight thanks to those who do good job!! Merci RTL ! Cowboy junkie woke me up when i felt like : What i lost !!!

[@williamehandyjr.4017]

Thank you all for sharing this painful period of your family's evolution. Your art has always moved me.

[@CaptCutshaw]

Nice to know y'all can still emotionally devastate me...and make me enjoy it. Can't wait for the full album.

[@yadaydada123]

I was all sad and feeling emotional from the comments- then I read your comment and literally did a LOL. Well said.

[@danielgaeng3136]

Love it! Video and song both! Cowboy Junkies not fade away! Please.

[@danishpastry2867]

I can’t wait to hear the whole album!! I saw them on Mountain Stage years ago, still perfect

[@HAL9007]

Devastating, Painful. Courageous, Beautiful. I just hope you don't have to go through this with a parent.

[@Mettadana]

I remember meeting Mike’s parents a few times. His mother was elegant and gracious and drove Mike’s wife hours to her brother’s home, a priest, near the Vermont border. What a close family. I love love the guitar on this. Haunting. Well done you all. Love

[@PublicSchoolFinance]

This is a topic so important

[@pdarnold481]

Thank you! You have given words to what so many are unable to do. Those lost in dementia/Alzheimer's and those of us who've lost those who are lost. This hits hard.

[@Seeoneepack]

I love the eeriness of the music paired with the fragmentary lyrics which really complements the song's theme. The opening solo got me curious, the opening verse got me intrigued, and right to the end I was hooked. If this song is representative of the new album, I am looking forward to it excitedly.

[@mvmassoudi]

Love you Cowboy Junkies!

[@theSicariuselitealphaJOKES]

Anyone can write a love song; it is the painful songs of loss that stab at the soul.

[@jenbloom6848]

Life’s beautifully brutal experience.

[@chita1205]

nice

[@pumpupthevolume4775]

What? Musicians over thirty years past their prime putting out a creatively written great song like this? Wait! Maybe it's exactly because they've put all these years behind them that they get to the point of putting out a great song like this.

[@deanmitchell9568]

CJ website says the green vinyl is "Limited Edition" but it doesn't say how many we talking limited to 1,000 or 10,000 always nice to know how limited it is and also is it possible to purchase a test pressing?

[@jimmybuff7068]

Love this! And is that a Guy LaPointe sweater? ◡̈

[@chita1205]

somos tão frágeis..

[@elisavieira737]

[@unnaturalselection8330]

Either your brain or your body will go first if you make it long enough. God only knows which is worst or better.

Kevin, I found your comment after I’d posted a similar comment, kinda reinforces our opinion.
