After signing a contract with the Atlantic Records label Lava Records in 1994, his first major-label album, Honor Among Thieves, was issued in 1995. His second album, Misguided Roses, spawned I'll Be, a major single in 1998. Two more albums (Messenger and Far from Over) followed, but at the end of 2001, he split from Lava. In 2003 he released a collection of acoustic versions of songs both old and new called The Austin Sessions via ATC Records, a Nashville-based independent record label (at which McCain was the first artist signed following its creation in 2001). Mid-2004 saw the arrival of his first studio album in three years, entitled Scream & Whisper, which was released on another indie label, DRT Entertainment.
He has released two DVDs to date. The first was through ATC records in late 2002, called Mile Marker: Songs and Stories from the Acoustic Highway, and it consisted of interviews, live performances, and other material. The other was in late 2004, Tinsel & Tap Shoes. It was his first live concert DVD, recorded at The House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
A new CD was released in April, 2006 titled, Lost in America. Edwin recently signed a contract with Vanguard Records. This album (#8) is said to be a true "rock 'n roll" collection.

I Know I'm Losing You
Edwin McCain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woman it's fading away from me
'Cause your personal touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I fooled myself as long as I can
Can feel the presence of another man
Oh, honey I'm losing you
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Oh, I'm losing you
I can feel it in my bones, any day you'll be up and gone
Oh, I'm losing you
It's all over your face, someone's takin' my place
Could it be that I'm losing you?
When I look into your eyes a reflection of a face I see
Oh Lord I'm losing you
I'm hurt, downhearted and worried, girl
'Cause that face doesn't belong to me
Your love is fadin', can feel it fadin'
Oh, away from me
Can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Ooo, I'm losing you
I don't wanna lose you
But I know I'm gonna groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you
Get out, woo
Ooo yeah, get down there
Get down there
I don't wanna lose you
But I know I gotta groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you
And I'm losin' you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
Oh Lord I'm losing you
The song "I Know I'm Losing You" by Edwin McCain is a very straightforward and honest piece about the loss or fading of love in a relationship. The track is filled with moments of despair, highlighted by the opening lines: "Your love is fading, I can feel your love fading, woman, it's fading away from me." The song is about a man realizing that his partner's love is waning, and he comes to grips with the fact that his relationship is coming apart at the seams.
The singer feels as if he's been replaced by another man. He tries to convince himself that his intuition is incorrect, but every time she speaks his name, he senses that something is amiss. The chorus of the song repeats, emphasizing the singer's feelings of loss, loneliness, and abandonment. The desperation contained in the lyrics provides a glimpse into how he's struggling to hold on to this relationship, regardless of his partner's clear dissatisfaction.
Overall, the song is a powerful and emotional ode to the loss of love in a relationship. Edwin McCain's performance perfectly encapsulates the pain, devastation, and heartache of losing someone that you truly love.
