Just heard this on PJ radio and it said it was from Lost Dogs. Was this like a track on an international version but not US?

    It wasn't on mine. It was for some time something we were not even allowed to talk about, but it must be ok now, since it's on PJ radio. Beautiful, ain't it?

    I love that song...similar to "I'm Open," but with even better narration/dialogue ("She said to me over the phone she wanted to see other people...I thought, well then, look around. They're everywhere.")

    I think this track was only included on the promo versions of 'Lost Dogs' and/or the Japanese version (or promo)...details have been sketchy on it over the years...

    Interesting. For someone reading this board quite frequently, I was clueless to this.

    I liked the line that was something like "She said 'I'm confused' and I'm like, 'Darling join the club.". At least that's how I think it went since that was my first time hearing it.

    Yes, that's how it goes :)

    More like a myth that was busted a while ago. I'm Still Here is not on the Japanese version of Lost Dogs.

    When Lost Dogs leaked before it came out, it had I'm Still Here at the end. The accompanying text file stated that the leak came from a Japanese promo CD of Lost Dogs. To date, this supposed promo has never been found.

    so does anyone have any information on the origins of this song yet? and even more importantly, any of you photoshop geeks make any itunes art for it? ;)

    I think you can just use the Lost Dogs cover art for it.

    No idea of the origin, but it's a pretty sad breakup song...

    musically, it's obviously akin to present tense which has lead many to speculate it dates from those 95/96 sessions, however, the vocal take leads many to think it would date from more 2001/2002 area. nothing is for certain so the mystery goes on...

    yeah, I was just more hoping for something uber creative like that one member did for Ole. they did a kick ass cover for that single.

    I thought it was pretty universally accepted that it was a Yield outtake. Did I miss some new information being shed on it?

    Why didn't they release this? This is truly touching. I never knew this existed. Such a beautiful piece of art. This song could help so many people if they only knew about it.

    Isn't it a depressing song? I can't remember the lyrics exactly, but doesn't it end with the narrator at his grave?

    Great song/spoken word though.

    I think it ends with the narrator buying another round of drinks. Before that he's imagining his grave, or at least thats how I remember it.

    Its been a while since I've listened to it, but its an incredible song. I've only listened to it through youtube so will have to get it on my ipod tonight.
