Missing People Very Relevant lyrics Solid Performance Refreshing!

A really pleasant sound and melody on this tune. Great lyrics too.

another crazy on the ear tune Dan, love the violin

Missing people I didn't know at all
They didn't touch me in a meaningful way
But just the fact that I existed for them
Brought some light to my day

===========================

The mix on this track was reworked by John Bennetts in June 2023. John also played the drums in this version.

===========================

Verse 1:
Streets wind their way through places I called home
I didn't give them a second thought as I walked those streets alone
I'd register what and who I saw everywhere I'd go
If anyone ever noticed me I'd swear I didn't know

Verse 2:
For the longest time I couldn't tell what it was that seemed so strange
Something seemed to be missing but I didn't know what had changed
As years go by I'm becoming more invisible day by day
Losing a bit of who I was while I slowly fade away

Chorus:
Missing people I didn’t know at all
They didn't touch me in a meaningful way
But just the fact that I existed for them
Brought some light to my day

Verse 3:
It's like someone has left that I didn't even know was there
Maybe I pretended not to notice now I pretend not to care
The city streets are smaller now Something made them contract
Life's a little bit emptier since they stopped looking back

Chorus:
Missing people I didn’t know at all
They didn't touch me in a meaningful way
But just the fact that I existed for them
Brought some light to my day

Missing People

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
