Story behind the song
Missing You is the fourth song on the 2021 Infused album, Auto Epiphany. The words and music were composed by Rod Skelley. The recording on Auto Epiphany features Shawn Huss on vocals and acoustic guitar, Dave Carles on bass and Rod Skelley on electric guitar and drums. Missing You is an expressive song about the feelings of anxiety and insecurity experienced with new love. With new love comes that feeling of never wanting to be apart from the other person and spending time thinking about and longing for the other persons touch. Distance and circumstance complicate relationships and further the anxiety of being apart. The song was originally written by Rod in his early 20s as a simple love song for acoustic guitar and vocals, possibly for some long ago youthful love. It was a simple arpeggiated guitar part. While experimenting with recording, Rod found the song in an old notebook and started to put the song down to practice recording. The base of the song is still the original arpeggiated guitar part and the other parts layer on top. When the music started to come together, the original lyrics were shortened and revised. A friend compared the new sound of the song to Toad the Wet Sprocket although the Smashing Pumpkins was probably more of an influence. Lyrics for Missing You as recorded on Auto Epiphany: Missing You Chorus: I really miss you. Im so lost without you. I really miss you. Im so lost without you. Without you near. My thoughts become so unclear. Without you near. Im overwhelmed by my fears. Without you nearby. All my hopes begin to wither and die. Without you nearby. The sun sets and refuses to rise. When you are away. I lie and tell you Im OK. When you are away. I wish you would stay. Original Lyrics before revision: Without you near. My thoughts become so unclear. Without you near. I am overwhelmed by my fears. Without you nearby. I find I begin to cry. Without you nearby. I long to stare into your eyes. When I dont have your comfort, I feel so cold. When I dont hear you speak softly, a chill runs through my soul. I long to touch you. I long to kiss you. I long to embrace you. I long to hold you. Youre all I have in this world. Youre all I want in this world. Youre all I need in this world. Youre all I love in this world. Chorus: I really miss you. Im so lost without you. I really miss you. Im so lost without you being here.
Lyrics
Without you near. My thoughts become so unclear. Without you near. I'm overwhelmed by my fears. I really miss you. I'm so lost without you. I really miss you. I'm so lost without you being here. Without you nearby. All my hopes beging to wither and die. Without you nearby. The sun sets and refuses to rise. I really miss you. I'm so lost without you. I really miss you. I'm so lost without you being here. When you are away. I lie and tell you I'm OK. When you are away. I wish you would stay. I really miss you. I'm so lost without you. I really miss you. I'm so lost without you being here.
