“Lose Again” was written by the singer-songwriter Karla Bonoff. Linda Ronstadt recorded it first, on her 1976 album “Hasten Down the Wind.”
The song is a clear-eyed heartbreak number. The singer sees a new love heading toward the same hurt as the last, and braces for it — expecting, with a kind of tired honesty, to lose again.
Alison Krauss and Union Station recorded the song for their 1992 album “Every Time You Say Goodbye.”
