"Lost and Found" is a single from UK rock band Feeder, and is one of three new songs featured on their compilation album, The Singles. It was the second single from the compilation after "Shatter" was a double A-side with "Tender".

The song was voted 79th best song of 2006 by the readers of Q Magazine.[1] The music video features Feeder playing in an abandoned community centre and a street gang. The vinyl set also includes a 1998 recording named "Uptight", which features Jon Lee playing drums. The music video uses quick switching of the scenes featuring the band and the gang, this has been noted by many who have seen the video as off putting due to the speed the scene changes are made which were likened to that of those that can cause epileptic seizures.

Lost and Found was supported for the first time with a series of digital downloads, recorded live during each date of the bands delayed 2005-2006 tour, and helped the track chart at #20 on the UK Download Chart, and #12 in the UK Singles Chart in May 2006. During live performances of the song, the band use the opening lines of All My Life by American band Foo Fighters as an interlude.

Critical reception

The song was released to a generally mixed reception. Kerrang! picked the song as a highlight of the accompanying compilation The Singles, specifically marking it as a song for readers to "download".[2] However, Stylus Magazine were not impressed with the song, with an average reviewer score of 2.33/10, with Joris Gillet of the publication giving the single 4/10 and saying it "leaves no impression whatsoever."[3]
