Many of the Lost Dogs albums include at least one or two cover songs. Songs covered by the Lost Dogs include Bob Dylan's "Lord, Protect My Child," Leonard Cohen's "If It Be Your Will," The Beatles' "I'm A Loser," and Stephen Foster's "Hard Times Come Again No More." They have also recorded a number of Traditional or Gospel standards such as "Dust On The Bible," and "Farther Along."
In March, 2000, shortly after the release of their Gift Horse album, Gene Eugene died in his sleep at The Green Room, his recording studio in Huntington Beach, California.
2003 saw the release of the band's first DVD, Via Chicago, a black and white concert film released by Lo-Fidelity Records. A follow-up DVD, Via Chicago (All We Left Unsaid), containing additional songs from the concert, was released in 2006.
Although the loss of Eugene is noticeable, the remaining three Lost Dogs members continue to tour and record new albums. In 2004, the band got together with longtime friend Steve Hindalong to produce a special album for their summer tour. The result was entitled Mutt, and included new acoustic versions of nine songs originally written and recorded for each band member's regular rock bands, with one new song. The following year, the band would release one of their most unusual recordings to date, the almost entirely instrumental Island Dreams.
The band's most recent project, Old Angel, was released May 2010. The band — including the newest official "dog," drummer Steve Hindalong — once again hit the road for a national tour in support of their new album.

Lost Dogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Of all the love I have won, and have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million my friend
I should have known she would win in the end
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry?
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
What have I done to deserve such a fate?
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be
The Lost Dogs's song "I'm a Loser" is a melancholic and introspective piece about the feeling of being lost, lonely, and defeated in life. The lyrics depict the singer as a person who has lost love, made some wrong choices in life, and is now struggling to keep up with the social expectations of happiness and contentment.
The opening lines "I'm a loser, and I'm not what I appear to be" sets the tone of the song, indicating that the singer is not happy with his current situation and feels like an imposter hiding behind a facade. The song then moves on to reflecting on a lost love, a girl who was a "million-dollar find" but was lost in the end.
The singer feels like a clown wearing a mask, trying to hide his pain and tears behind a forced smile. Through the lines "What have I done to deserve such a fate? I realize I have left it too late," he questions the choices he has made in life, realizing that he has paid a high price for taking things for granted. However, he also tries to warn the listeners not to make the same mistake and lose everything to pride.
Overall, "I'm a Loser" is a beautiful and emotionally charged song that speaks to anyone who has felt lost or alone in life, and reminds them that it is okay to feel vulnerable and ask for help. It encourages self-reflection and introspection to realize where you went wrong and make amends.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm a loser
I see myself as a failure
And I'm not what I appear to be
I am not as strong as I seem
Of all the love I have won, and have lost
From all the love I've experienced, both good and bad
There is one love I should never have crossed
There is one love that I shouldn't have pursued
She was a girl in a million my friend
She was special, unlike anyone else
I should have known she would win in the end
I should have realized that she would succeed eventually
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Even though I joke and act carefree
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
I'm hiding a feeling of sadness
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
I am crying uncontrollably
Is it for her or myself that I cry?
I don't know if I am mourning for her or myself
What have I done to deserve such a fate?
Why did I end up in this situation?
I realize I have left it too late
I've come to understand that it's too late to fix things
And so it's true pride comes before a fall
It's true, arrogance leads to downfall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all
I'm sharing my story so that you can avoid a similar fate
