• The lead single from the Rock band P.O.D.'s eighth album Murdered Love, this song is a meditation on heaven. In our interview with lead singer Sonny Sandoval, who wrote the lyrics, he explained, "It's definitely more of a thought on the afterlife. Sometimes I find myself thinking about it a lot, because here we are. The meaning of life, the question, heaven and hell, everybody's wondering what's going to happen after we die. And being of faith, I have a peace of where I'll spend eternity, but at the same time, I have a heart and a burden for people that don't know and don't understand. So if I believe that heaven and hell exists, then well, wait for me, because I believe I'm going to go there. But what about the people that are lost and maybe aren't? My heart breaks for them. So that's just a thought of sometimes it's a peaceful thought, and sometimes it's a very scary thought."
• The video was directed by Spence Nicholson, who has also done clips for Augustana, Hollywood Undead, and Angels Fall. Shortly after it hit YouTube, the video accumulated over a million views. In the clip, an astronaut is haunted by memories as he walks on a barren planet. In our interview with Nicholson, he explained: "To me, 'Lost in Forever' was a very powerful track. There are many beliefs about what may come after life (and I won't get into mine here), so I felt like going with something specifically vague that could serve as a proxy to many people's beliefs would best serve the track. I'm glad you saw the '60s sci-fi vibe in there. I've always been a fan of shows like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, shows that had big ideas wrapped in small packages."
