Read Full Bio ↴Formed in 1988, The Almighty are a rock band, from Glasgow Scotland.
The band's music veered between punk and hard rock on albums including 1989's debut 'Blood Fire and Love', 'Soul Destruction (produced by Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor),' 'Powertrippin' (which saw Tantrum leave and be replaced by Pete Friesen of Alice Cooper), 'Crank' and 'Just Add Life.' During this time, the band played the Monsters of Rock festival in Donington, England, in 1992 and also played with Metallica at the Milton Keynes Bowl. The Almighty split up in 1996.
In 2000 the band reformed with Nick Parsons on guitar. A second album shortly followed in 2001, Psycho-Narco, with a new bass player Gav Gray replacing long time bassist Floyd London. The band soon disbanded again with vocalist Ricky Warwick pursuing a solo career.
By mid-2005 bassist Floyd London had won an unpublicised fight against Lukemia which brought the band together to play once again. The classic lineup reformed for two Lukemia Research benefit shows in January 2006, which was followed by a Headline appearance at the 2006 Bulldog Bash, then a short 5-date tour at the end of December 2006.
In February 2007 a Greatest Hits CD/DVD Anthology: The Gospel According To... was released with the full support of the band, this was followed in July 2007 with a live DVD of the Glasgow Lukemia Research show from January 2006.
The band have 'left the door open' to the possibility of future shows and recording new material.
In 2010 Ricky Warwick joined Thin Lizzy (renamed to Black Star Riders in 2012).

Little Lost Sometimes
The Almighty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelings scattered all around
I need somewhere to lose myself
But everywhere has been found
Sad eyes staring out the window
Tequila tears come raining down
And pain comes to leave you cold
So many miles between us and
Chorus
We're all searching for deliverance
When there ain't nowhere to run
Let your spirit down easy
Cos we're always gonna be
A little lost sometimes
And when there's nothing to believe in
Sometimes these words are not enough
And promises, so hard to keep them
It's hard to feel what you can't touch
Yesterday is yesteryear
Spirits bleeding into dust
Give me time to understand
This pretty thing that we call love
Chorus
What is this feeling rising over me
I might look alright but I'm scared as hell
The more I know the less I understand
Put me together before I fall apart again
Chorus
The Almighty's song, "Little Lost Sometimes," is a heart-wrenching expression of the struggles that come with feeling lost and empty. The singer expresses their desperation for a place to lose themselves, but it seems wherever they turn, they are met with disappointment or pain. The metaphor of tequila tears describes the desperate attempt to numb the pain and forget about their troubles. The image of sad eyes staring out of the window further emphasizes their feelings of hopelessness and despair. The line "pain comes to leave you cold" is a powerful acknowledgement of the fact that sometimes there is nothing we can do to protect ourselves from the pain that life throws at us.
The chorus of the song is a rallying cry for all those who feel lost and alone. The lyrics remind us that we are all searching for deliverance, for a way out of the darkness, but sometimes there simply is nowhere to run. The line "let your spirit down easy" is an encouraging message to take care of oneself, to be kind to one's own soul. The acknowledgment that we are all a little lost sometimes is a comforting reminder that no one is alone in their struggles.
The bridge of the song is a powerful reflection on the difficulties of believing in something that we can't see or touch. The line "promises, so hard to keep them" speaks to the fragility of hope and faith. The recognition that yesterday is yesteryear is an acceptance of the fact that we cannot change the past, but we can learn from it. The plea to "give me time to understand this pretty thing that we call love" is a poignant request for patience and understanding.
Overall, "Little Lost Sometimes" is a beautiful and honest expression of the difficulties of navigating life's ups and downs. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and alone, and encourages us to take care of ourselves and each other.
Line by Line Meaning
Emptiness inside my soul
I feel hollow and lacking purpose within myself
Feelings scattered all around
My emotions are all over the place and hard to pin down
I need somewhere to lose myself
I want a place or activity where I can forget about my problems and just be in the moment
But everywhere has been found
I've either already tried everything or I don't have access to anything that can fulfill my need to lose myself
Sad eyes staring out the window
I'm feeling down and out of sorts, and I'm just staring out into the world with a sense of melancholy
Tequila tears come raining down
I'm crying, while also possibly drinking alcohol to numb my pain
And pain comes to leave you cold
The emotional pain I'm feeling is leaving me numb and disconnected
So many miles between us and
There's a physical or emotional distance between myself and another person
So many endless roads
I'm facing multiple paths forward and I'm not sure which one to take
We're all searching for deliverance
As humans, we're all looking for some form of salvation or relief from our troubles
When there ain't nowhere to run
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we can't escape our problems
Let your spirit down easy
Relax and don't be too hard on yourself or your emotions
Cos we're always gonna be
No matter how much we try, we'll never be perfect or fully in control of our lives
A little lost sometimes
It's okay to not have all the answers or feel directionless at times
And when there's nothing to believe in
During times of crisis, it can be hard to find faith or hope in anything
Sometimes these words are not enough
No matter how encouraging or inspiring words can be, they sometimes fall short of what we need to hear
And promises, so hard to keep them
It's difficult to follow through on our commitments, especially when life gets tough
It's hard to feel what you can't touch
We often need tangible experiences or connections in order to truly feel something
Yesterday is yesteryear
The past is in the past and we can't change it
Spirits bleeding into dust
Our energy or life force can slowly drain away if we don't take care of ourselves
Give me time to understand
I need more time to process my thoughts and emotions before moving forward
This pretty thing that we call love
Love is complicated and beautiful, but it's not always easy to navigate
What is this feeling rising over me
I'm experiencing a strong emotion and I'm not sure what it is or how to handle it
I might look alright but I'm scared as hell
On the outside, I might seem fine, but internally I'm afraid and uncertain
The more I know the less I understand
Sometimes, the more we learn about a situation, the more confusing it can become
Put me together before I fall apart again
I need to regroup and pull myself together before I completely lose control of my life
