Lost Witness are DJ / Producer Simon Paul and producer Simon Kemper. The dynamic duo met and formed in May 1998 as Dusk Til Dawn and enjoyed the underground success of Fine Night, which in turn brought songwriter Ed Barton into the frame as the third, if more silent member, to complete the happy union.

Vocals of the early hits 'Red Sun Rising' and 'Did I Dream (Song to the Siren)' were supplied by Tracy Carmen.

Paul & Kemper have both experienced similar musical upbringings with Paul's parents heavily influenced by big band and jazz while Kemper's pursued and continue to pursue the opera. Simon Paul has been actively DJing for 14 years, following the peaks and troughs of house music which has inevitably shaped the way he produces. Simon Kemper has been equally molded by keeping himself up to date with his clubbing experiences in and around London. The fusion of both has culminated in a plethora of musical, vocal trance anthems.

Sometimes I wish I could have reached into your mind
To hear those words I could not find
He′s got'em worse but I can leave all this behind
I can′t forget the way we were
I can't stop . upon you
I think it could have been . hours
I still feel you with me
I can't stop my heart from calling

I think of what could have been
I′m reaching out . you and me

You won′t fade
You won't fade away from me
You won′t fade
You are in everything I see
You won't fade
(Repeats)

Sometimes I turn I think I′ve seen your face
You are everywhere but nowhere
In a different time and place
I can't stop my heart from calling
I think of what could have been
I am reaching out I still think of you and me

Sometimes I turn I think I′ve seen your face

You are everywhere but nowhere
In a different time and place

However, the singer recognizes that they can't change the past and they ultimately decide to move on from the relationship. The line "He's got 'em worse but I can leave all this behind" implies that perhaps the partner is more affected by the breakup than the singer is, but either way, the singer can't forget the way things were.
