“Lost My Way Home” brings together Bedford-based producer Night Wolf and Norfolk vocalist Lois Powell in a fated collab. He’s built a reputation on cinematic, trip-hop-tinged alt music; she brings haunting, ethereal vocals that sound like they’ve wandered out of a dream. They first crossed paths at an open mic, and this track doesn’t just mark their first song together; it also heralds the launch of Night Wolf’s own imprint, EscaVolt Records. If you look into it, this song channels the weight of struggle into something that feels strangely liberating, as they open the doors to acceptance.
The track opens on a slow, ghostly piano line. It’s deep, spacious, and heavy with implication. Before you can settle, Lois’ voice slips in, raw, emotional but steady, like someone on the edge of breaking who refuses to crack in public. Her vocals are layered so that her wailing vocalization drifts behind her, as a penumbra that turns the whole thing into a cathartic, slightly unnerving dialogue with herself. She sings, “You don’t wanna listen / I don’t wanna talk,” as the tension between withdrawal and confrontation is nailed in one stroke.
As the song unfolds, the strings start to coil and twist underneath, adding a tragic, cinematic pressure that keeps tightening the screws. In the lines, “You should have left this place a long long time ago / It’s dragged you down and made your soul go cold,” she brings a bittersweet reality you’ve been ducking for years. Then, from the bridge, the drums slam in—sharp, insistent, almost like a heartbeat speeding up—while the layered vocals swell around the refrain, “I have lost my way back home.”
Listen to the mesmerizing haunt of “Lost My Way Home” to know that only when you are lost can the paths to home become endless and liberated.
