> [@Chad\_Sudan](#): > > Linda Ronstadt - “Lose Again” (1976) One of many Karla Bonoff songs Linda did (in fact she did three on that same album: “Someone To Lay Down Beside Me”, “Lose Again” and “If He’s Ever Near”). Just got a turntable, and I’m buying vinyl versions of albums I already have on CD. Karla’s first album was one of my first round of “re-buys”. Here it is; and it starts with a less “belt it out” version (just piano and a very warm voice) of _Lose Again:_ https://www.youtube.com/embed/iU8inRDAIw8?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=PL7193FEFA0AEB6337 ---

Warning: Language BTW: Six month ago, I left my last job, dropping my two-week notice just as they were bringing in a new Manager for our Department; he seemed like a pretty decent guy, and I kind of wish they’d brought him in six months earlier. Anywho, he tried to sway me into staying, asking why I was leaving. I played this song for him.

I know this was posted over a month ago but I just stumbled across it yesterday. I played it three times then went to go find some more. I’m hooked! ---

> [@digs](#): > > One of many Karla Bonoff songs Linda did (in fact she did three on that same album: “Someone To Lay Down Beside Me”, “Lose Again” and “If He’s Ever Near”) I can see why Karla’s first album was a priority for you, @digs – the original versions of these songs are terrific! “[Someone To Lay Down Beside Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCurPh_ee28)” has such remarkable lyrics. I can’t think of another song that so directly addresses a woman’s conflicted feelings about sleeping with a succession of nobodies. I wonder if we’re supposed to hear the narrator as devastatingly heartbroken, or just depressed and disappointed? Like, just how much of a romantic is she supposed to be? ---
