Penned while they were long-distance-dating, “Miss You” wasn’t a song designed for an audience, it was written as therapy. It’s that candor that makes the song so strong. And the emotions aren’t heightened or gussied up, they’re lived-in, homely and real. It’s a testament to the way that most resonant music can often originate in moments of simple truth.
One of the most defining decisions on “Miss You” is the extent to which rhythm gets embedded into the guitar playing. Instead of relying on extra percussion, the band allows the guitar to carry the song’s pulse, lending it a natural and organic feel. This technique adds emotional dimension so the track feels lived in and not forced.
“Miss You” is a quiet triumph, an indication that exposure, treated gently enough, can transmit strong. The Low Stakes Band offers a song that lingers with you, not because it insists on being paid attention to, but because it commands attention by lying all its cards face up.
