	For you I was a flame Love is a losing game Five story fire as you came Love is a losing game One I wish I never played Oh what a mess we made And now the final frame Love is a losing game Played out by the band Love is a losing hand More than I could stand Love is a losing hand Self professed, profound 'Til the chips were down Know you're a gambling man Love is a losing hand Though I betted blind Love is a fate resigned Memories mar my mind Love, it is a fate resigned Over futile odds And laughed at by the gods And now the final frame Love is a losing game

about

This song hit me about 3 years ago, probably at a low point, and I needed to recreate the feeling of enchanting disenchantment that pervades "Back To Black". I recorded each part at home, then delivered the stems to an intrigued Elio DeLuca at The Soul Shop. His mix turned like a lens going into focus, and TW Walsh's mastering brought its subtle textures to the foreground. 5 star treatment for a 5 star song.

I'm truly thankful I know love, have love, and the smarts to realize it.

-Josh

P.S. Amy, thanks for your help.
