Lyrics:

I took a trip out of town
A hundred years underground
I had to swim across the sea
Oh, when you were my baby

(Chorus)

Did you miss me in the morning
Did you miss me in the evening
When everyone is bound to dream
Did you ever run where the wind blows
Did you ever go where I didn't go (???)
Oh baby, did you miss me

A hundred years out of town
It's not so long, so I found
Just long enough to get free
Oh, when you were my baby

Did you miss me in the morning
Did you miss me in the evening
When everyone is bound to dream
Did you ever run where the wind blows
Did you ever go where I didn't go
Oh baby, did you miss me

Look at us now
The years fall down
Show me how

Check it out, hear the sound
All these walls are comin' down
That's just you, that's just me
Oh, when you were my baby

(Chorus)

I can't hear if he's saying the word go or know in the chorus. Anyone know?

[Lori40]

Lyrics:



(Chorus)

Did you miss me in the morning
Did you miss me in the evening
When everyone is bound to dream
Did you ever run where the wind blows
Did you ever go where I didn't go (???


I can't hear if he's saying the word go or know in the chorus. Anyone know?

To me, the last line sounds like: Did you ever come when I didn't know.

Probably just my dirty little mind at work.

[michelej1]

To me, the last line sounds like: Did you ever come when I didn't know.

Probably just my dirty little mind at work.

At one point, I did think he said, "did you ever call when I didn't know" and I thought that was really cool. I mean, thinking of someone you love calling out to you when you cannot hear or were not in a mood to be responsive at the time. Needing you when you weren't there to give. I like that sentiment a lot.

But upon further listens, I know that's not what he said.

Michele

[dougb]

how are you listening to the whole song? all I get is a 15 sec preview

[TrueFaith77]

I hear "come" and "know"

[LukeA]

Pretty catchy song- AAA stations will definitely like it, that's for sure.

Lyrically, however, it comes off as a half-assed rewrite of Castaway Dreams.

[michelej1]

Lyrically, it's not as layered as many of the songs on UTS, which are often quite poetic.

At the chorus, Did You Miss Me reminds me of Down Endless Street.

Michele

[justcrazylove]

How are you getting the full version!!!!!!1 Help me

[joe68]

ok, i give up too...where are you getting the whole song?Anyone?

[michelej1]

Amazon won't have the whole song up for download for a couple of days, but you can definitely hear the chorus, particularly the part that people are questioning, in the sound bite.

"Did you ever go where I didn't know" or "did you ever go where I didn't go" or whatever it is he might be saying. That's the last line at the end of the Amazon clip.

Michele

[Lauren]

great great song!

Ok that one line (maybe I have a dirty mind too) but I hear

"Did you ever come, when I didn't know"

what do you think?

[Lauren]

forgot- the chorus has some similarities to Steal Your Heart Away - anyone hear it? (musically)

[MacMan]

To me it sounds like he's saying...

Did you miss me in the morning
Did you miss me in the evening
When everyone is bound to dream
Did you ever run where the wind blows
Did you ever go where I didn't know
Oh baby, did you miss me

And yes... very catchy tune!

[ajmccarrell]

LOL

Do you really have to ask?
Why, who is wondergirl and why would she have it? I'm confused.... :confused:

[Lauren]

so I do think it's "Did you ever go where I didn't go" or "did you ever go where I didn't know" (but I think it's the first line)

this song is so radio friendly! I really hope it gets a lot of airplay. I loved "Under the Skin" but this song is my more what I love that Lindsey does!

[sodascouts]

I hate to show my obvious ignorance of what apparently everyone should know, but I do not know where to find this song either.

I see the question has been asked several times about where to find this song, yet no one has replied, instead simply ignoring the questions and continuing to discuss the song over other people's heads.

Such behavior surprises me, because it makes others feel left out, but I know that is not the intention. Therefore, I hope those who are so eager to discuss the full song openly will be just as eager to share it openly. :)

Completely agree.

"Privileges" aside, its unfortunate that the few who have the complete track (and who knows what else) want others to know that they have it by openly discussing it on a public message board, yet will not address the simple question you're addressing.

Then again, this has been a trend for, oh, 6 years or so, give or take.

[michelej1]

Frankly, I don't see anyone discussing the whole song. All they're saying is that the song is catchy and they're asking questions about the words in the chorus. The chorus is up on Amazon. The chorus lines are the only ones anyone has been talking about. Anyone can listen to "did you go where I didn't know" or "did you come when I didn't know" or "did you call when I didn't know" or "did you know where I didn't go" up on Amazon and give their input on what they think he's saying -- which I guess we won't really know until we have the lyric sheets in hand, way in September. And who knows where Christy got the full lyrics. At least, by writing them out, she allowed everyone to see what they are.

Forgive me if I don't exactly see the nobility in that act.

Flash back to Summer 2001. If I posted the lyrics to "Peacekeeper" out of the blue and without acknowledgment to their source or how I would be privy to such information, I would have been crucified.

I wonder whom this song could be about/for...

Thanks for the lyrics. I'm thrilled with anything. :nod:

Oh, I am SO ignorant to how the "single" process goes these days. Someone gave a date (July 29th?)...does that mean it's released on radio or can you actually buy a physical single- or do they even do that anymore? I guess I could be less lazy and just check out the Amazon link again...

[AliceLover]

Well Christy is usually very reliable, so I am just assuming. But if I had the song I would share it with everyone or keep it a secret, not egg people on.

You'll likely be able to buy on amazon, and I'm assuming itunes on the same day...

Exactly.

Its all very silly, really, considering the song will be available for purchase on Tuesday anyways. It was deliberate.

[Nico]

Yeah, I hear that. Someone said it was the most "pop" thing that Lindsey's ever released solo, but I find it to be in the same vein pop-wise as Trouble or Countdown, which is vintage Lindsey, and that I can not complain about. I'm a huge proponent of experimentation and great rock singles as well, but Lindsey's been there, done that and I say he deserves to bring back a little commercial- and possibly get some airplay as a result.

'Course, I'm saying this with the mindset that the rest of the album will have more of the "rock" that was mentioned, even if just 2-3 songs. Yay!!! So excited...

Yes, at one page on Amazon it says the song will be 99 cents. So, you can download it from there. I looked on Itunes, but nothing comes up about the song or GOS.

Having just released something on both sites, Amazon usually comes out a good three weeks sooner. iTunes takes 6 weeks to process an album and the related songs.

Thank you for sharing the Lyrics with us if indeed they are the correct lyrics. I really like the song and i think it should do well.

Anyway I just wanted to say that If I had my hands on a full version of the new album or singles from it. (Which i may or may not have) I most certianly would not be posting them up on a public forum. You have to have a level of trust somewhere along the chain to obtain an early copy and of a song or album and I dont think it would be fair to abuse that trust.

Once again thank you for posting the lyrics.

I'm not trying to argue. I just think that "Trouble" and "Countdown" were also "throwback" songs (like "Oh, Diane"). "Did You Miss Me," thus far, does not strike me as a throwback. I listen to that clip on Amazon and it reminds me of something that I can't quite place. But something "contemporary."

[AlanC]

Well, in America, if the release date doesn't fall on a Tuesday it has meant that its strickly for radio release.

If the 29th falls on a Tuesday, then we might be getting a CDS but I somehow doubt it. The days of CD singles for purchase here in the USA has about died out. :confused:

They just don't sell enough I have read to make it worth the record companies time--that's BS

The UK gets the good stuff--B sides , live versions and remixes.

[TrueFaith77]

Well Christy is usually very reliable, so I am just assuming. But if I had the song I would share it with everyone or keep it a secret, not egg people on.

I don't want to offend anyone; I just wanted to offer my two cents -- as a former critic who got the occassional critic's copies of movies and music.

1) Critics should not share their copies with anyone (Maybe I'm too "Stevie" on this subject). That said, when I would receive critics stuff, I guess I would share it with friends and family -- but people I KNEW would not be turning around and selling it (critics copies are tagged, though I don't know if they are digitally tagged -- so if someone did sell it, that critic would be held responsible); and usually by "share" I mean, have them listen to it or watch it while I was listening to it/watching it.

2) If there are comments by people who happen to get these early "screeners" or copies of critic's copies, then I guess I would feel jealous too, but I'm surprised that people wouldn't want to hear what others have to say. I mean: nowadays when I have the chance to see a movie early at a film festival (like months early) I usually skip it cuz I can see it when it comes out. I don't mind waiting. But that's just personal to me. And some of my friends get critic's copies or go to critics screenings and I never mind hearing what they think (even though they don't invite me and sometimes that kinda hurts my feelings -- especially when it's like a film by someone they KNOW I just die over, like I hear Mike Leigh's new movie is going to be AMAZING -- but I wasn't invited to the screening... even though I had that day off from work! Not bitter. :distress: ).

3) I'm not pointing fingers or being presumptuous, but I also think that (and maybe I'm too Stevie on this subject too), we are basically Lindsey's fan base and if we don't pay for his stuff, who will? I'm glad to buy Lindsey's stuff. I'm going to buy many versions of the iTunes (single) and send them to all my itunes-capable family and friends (amazon.com informs me that you cannot send their items to others yet; I told them they need to figure out how). IF I did get a copy of the cd or the single, I would definately be buying it on CD / itunes anyway (that said: I hope there's a b-side on iTunes gr). But I don't mind that some people might err on the side of caution and not share it with me -- how do they know I'll buy it just cuz I say I will? They have a responsibility that I respect that I hope they also take seriously.

So I guess that because so many people prefer not to hear anything from those who have access to the material early (like people who don't read movie reviews BEFORE seeing the movie -- I, for one, never mind "spoilers"), that should be the policy -- just to be sensitive to everyone. But I don't think that those who may have heard it already are rubbing it in/egging people on. I think they thought they were just, you know, letting us know. I see both sides -- like my friends who tell me about movies/music before it comes out. I just hope this doesn't lead to animosity. It's such an exciting time to be a Lindsey/Mac fan!

It's so weird to me that I just fell in love with the Mac 2 years ago (I think) and yet that love just keeps getting fueled by NEW stuff: Under the Skin, Bass Performance Hall, Crystal Visions (CD and DVD), Soundstage, two Jeremy Spencer albums, Madison Blues and the shorter version, The Blue Horizons Christine Perfect, plenty of Lindsey on YouTube, Stevie in concert (I missed Lindsey for personal reasons :( ), Lindsey and Stevie performing on the talk show circuit (I still have them on Ellen on my dvr; I have to transfer that to DV-R and mp3 -- when I do, I'll be happy to share the sound mp3's with ANYONE who wants it), all the rumours in the press to keep track of, and I even feel like I'm neglecting some things. And now: "Gift of Screws" is near. I can't wait. But I CAN wait.

Don't be mad at me for this post, please.

[TrueFaith77]

For some reason, I cannot access imeem, but if it might be available there (I checked hypem; it's not there as far as I can see).

Wow, it's a surprise to hear that you only became a fan 2 years ago. The way you write, it feels like you must have been loving FM for much longer. That's wonderful to know that they are still attracting new fans who admire them as much as the veteran FM lovers do. Also, when you string all the products in one paragraph like that, it DOES seem like we have gotten a lot in a very short time. Even though it always feels like it's not enough.

I don't recall anyone asking the "privileged" persons involved to share the song(s). You're completely missing the point.

But, yes, the song will be commercially released on Tuesday anyways. And if its true that reviewers/advance copies of the album are going out this upcoming week (as posted in another thread), I would say its somewhat likely that the full album will leak via the torrent sites by this time next week.

[trackaghost]

I'm not missing the point Luke.
As a journalist I received the last Fleetwood Mac and Christine McVie albums ahead of release and I posted a long review because I thought people would be excited to know. I didn't do it just to say "look at me, I have the album and you don't!" I certainly didn't get a reaction like this anyway.
All Christy did was post the lyrics. Perhaps she shouldn't have done that, but knowing her she meant no ill will by it. The rest of this thread looks, to me, like people just discussing the clip.

And I would personally LOVE it if, when they receive the advance copies, the people would write a nice review/description-most likely with a warning heading as the title. I like reading other people's perspectives and get a jest of what this album is going to be like.:)

I completely agree- I did the same thing for Stevie's TISL in January '01- in retrospect, posting WAY more information than I should have. In the context of a review (which wasn't the case here, note), its more than appropriate.

There is, however, the problem of having that privilege and lording it over fans in various ways. Christy didn't do anything "wrong"- but, for me, it just reminded me of the way the "Peacekeeper" thing was handled a few years back (particularly because its the same handful of people)

[trackaghost]

Come on, how is posting the lyrics worse than a review?
I don't see anywhere Christy "lording" it over anyone else. She didn't even discuss the song or anything!
She just posted the lyrics so we could all see, she probably thought it was the nice thing to do when she had them.
Personally, I'm glad she did.

I didn't say she did. It was, however, needlessly intentionally ambiguous, which led to all the needless confusion about where one could download the full track.

It's available in just over a day to buy! Christy is "privileged" for, like, a day. Wow! It's probably on bittorrent out there anyway.

Well, it sounds like One Republic's latest single, as well as "What's the Wolrd Coming To". It has the same chord progression and rhythm structure.

EH No!
Rock means Rock. That song is nowhere near a rock song. However, a nice little song nevertheless. Would have been a nice replacement for Juniper on the UTS Album.
I will be pretty disappointed if this new album isnt a Rock album.

[Peestie]

I remember that in some interview or another he did backtrack a bit on the rock thing and say something along the lines of "I don't know where people got this idea from." At one point he was even talking about keeping with the stripped back approach. It was his promotion people who promised a more rocking album.

Besides, what is "rock" for Lindsey? He's a Pop artist who occasionally does the odd rock song. I didn't ever see him releasing an album that was going to be 10 variants of Gift of Screws or Twist of Fate. That was never going to happen and if we get two more that are poppy like DYMM then I'll be content. Add in the two or three old GOS rock songs that we're getting and then the two "guitar and voice" things mentioned in the press release and fill the remaining spaces with whatever makes up a balanced album. The press release does mention the opening song being "frantic", or something like that, so that makes four, maybe five, rock songs and that's about as many as Lindsey's ever put on an album before which makes it more, as far as Lindsey is concerned, a "rock" album.

At any rate, wasn't the exact wording "A more rocking album". It wouldn't have to be very rocking to rock more than UTS! My granny rocks harder than most of UTS! The fact that we know we're getting GOS, Shuffle Riff/Wait for You and maybe TOF/Right Place to Fade already means it rocks harder that UTS even if no more rock songs are added.

[#1LiddyBuckFan]

Very true. I do remember him saying something like "a more rocking album". I'm definitely curious...enjoying the anticipation though.

[PoetofRhiannon]

You can listen to a demo on youtube of Gift of Screws.

I like it.
And it's pretty rockin'.

That's not a demo. If the GOS songs that ended up on SYW and UTS are anything to go by then that's exactly what will end up on the album expect that that Youtube versions seems to skip a bit.

With minor differences, of course- the addition of Stevie's voice on the SYW songs, and additional tweaking on the UTS songs (ex. "Try For The Sun"- the original version is considerably different, and better, IMO)

Yes, I'd forgotten how much he changed TTFTS.

[BTFLCHLD]

Yes, I'd forgotten how much he changed TTFTS. thank the heavens :D

[AlanC]

I'm sure the album will have a couple of less rocking songs on it....but the reviews have all stated that this is a "rocking" compliment to UTS. Thats good enough for me.


DYMM is a nice laid back song to close out summer and bring in the fall--I accept it for what it is. Rocking or not, its still a great song.

[ajmccarrell]

I LOVE IT!!!! The verses have an emotional impact I wasn't expecting. This is the strongest songwriting I've heard from him since Rumours or before. Usually his songs are basically message machines for his guitar-work and the lyrics are an after-thought. You can tell he means what he's saying and it's close to his heart. He's a little off-key in parts, but it makes it sound more genuine. It's very hooky and I can hear this being a AAA hit.

How do you figure??? I personally think this album won't get a lot of radio play except on Chicago's Wxrt or that genre of station. DYMM is reminiscent to me of his early 80s stuff (isn't it all early 80s). He really needs a "hook" like Trouble to get this off the ground.

Uh, this is a totally different kind of song from Trouble. Trouble didn't really have that much of a lyrical hook, per se. It was a very laid-back song, musically, that was designed to have layers to bring out distinctions in it's sections. It's main hook were the guitar sounds he was using. Lyrically, it was sparse and somewhat repetitious. Not a bad thing at all, it fit very well into what was popular at the time. The chorus groove was not that different than the verses in that particular song. It didn't suddenly explode into something else like this song does. It basically layered over the same root groove. It was a certain type of music that this isn't. He uses very distinct sections, layers and key changes for this song. Plus it also has a much stronger bridge. Trouble had a guitar solo to replace the bridge. The form of both songs are too different to really make comparisons.

I don't know what area you're in, but being in Seattle, this is right up our alley. I mean, we have a very powerful folk-acoustic fanbase here. Stuff like Regina Spektor and Feist get a lot of airplay here.

Um, Glenn, just FYI: WXRT *is* a AAA station.

There are quite a bit of them around the country, and this song will do get a lot of airplay on them.

I concur on all almost all parts. Particularly his songwriting IS so strong. It's strong because he, Rumours-style, is aiming fora hook but also because he's addressing, *I Think*, his anxieties (ala Not Too Late) -- but this time in a LOVE song.

[#1LiddyBuckFan]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!! Very catchy. :woohoo:

Damn I'm glad he's putting this album out...

[3rd World Man]

Yeah, I finally got it into my iTunes! I loved it right away, it's a very sweet, easy song. It has UTS elements, but more upbeat & less over-produced. Hearing the sample the other day I didn't expect to be wowed by the whole song, but I was! I can't wait for all of it to be revealed--it's going to be amazing, I just know it :)

I lasted until about 10:30 this morning.

What can I say, I'M WEAK!!

But I really dug the song. After listening to it on repeat I find myself liking it more and more in fact.

[Peestie]

Same here. On first listen I liked it and by the third or fourth I knew I'd love it completely. I think one of my problems on initial listen was listening on my computer and my brother has the EQ settings weirded up so it sounded really muddy to me when it actually sounds pretty darn good.

[michelej1]

I know when they released CAD, SYH and It Was You I said I was not going to listen, but that lasted for less than 3 minutes. At least then it was 3songs. Now, it's just one and I have to be especially careful not to burn myself out on it.

Michele

[Livia]

I'm okay w/ hearing the first single through crappy computer speakers on first listen. But I will wait for the CD before listening to any other songs in their entirety (assuming only snippets will appear on LB's official site or myspace).

I know the radio station I listen to all day at work is going to play DYMM and I won't be able to avoid it. ;)

I didn't like the short sample, but i LOVE the single. (Never judge a song by a snippet).

I've been listening non-stop for 1/2 hour and counting... and I don't have anything profound to say. It just makes me happy.

[Nico]

I don't have anything profound to say. It just makes me happy.

Yeah, I basically feel the same way. It's just a great, great song. I'm not even bothered to decipher the lyrics at the present time because I am enjoying it too much. Yay! More jogging music- and this is so great for summer!!!

Lyrics:

I took a trip out of town
A hundred years underground
I had to swim across the sea
Oh, when you were my baby

(Chorus)

Did you miss me in the morning
Did you miss me in the evening
When everyone is bound to dream
Did you ever run where the wind blows
Did you ever go where I didn't go (???)
Oh baby, did you miss me

A hundred years out of town
It's not so long, so I found
Just long enough to get free
Oh, when you were my baby

Did you miss me in the morning
Did you miss me in the evening
When everyone is bound to dream
Did you ever run where the wind blows
Did you ever go where I didn't go
Oh baby, did you miss me

Look at us now
The years fall down
Show me how

Check it out, hear the sound
All these walls are comin' down
That's just you, that's just me
Oh, when you were my baby

(Chorus)

I can't hear if he's saying the word go or know in the chorus. Anyone know?

Hey, wondergirl, if you're out there, thank you for the lyrics! I just bought the song and it sure helps to be able to read the lyrics as I play it! :wavey:

[mylittledemon]

Just bought the song...I was gonna wait, but hell, it's only a buck. I like it. If the rest of the album is as good, or better then I will be pleased!

Dare I say that I do not love the song? I LIKE the song, I think it's a good song, I am pleased with it and I think it is a good sign for the rest of the album, but I am quite a bit short of full on singing its praises.

Does anyone else think it sounds a little like "What's the World Coming To"?

Yes I was thinking of WTWCT this morning when I was listening to Did You Miss Me this morning. I was thinking of how he would sneak riffs from Go Your Own Way in there sometimes when he was playing it live.
I really like the song. It's Lindsey at his pretty, pop, master genius best.

Well, I do love the song. But I felt that Show You How was a career peak and I don't think that about DYMM. I am hoping that there are other songs on the album which will be stronger. But this is a fantastic start.

When I did a search on iTunes of "Lindsey Buckingham", it revealed that "Did You Miss Me" was, by a lot, his most "popular" single download AND as a consequence his most popular "album" (since as a single it's its own entity) download. :thumbsup:

I don't know two things:

1. Is this aggregate or just for the week? (I suspect aggregate!)
2. Is it sales or sales and views?

It's ranked 50th of Lindsey's songs on amazon.com

[wondergirl9847]

DYMM is also under What's Hot on iTunes. :D

[estranged4life]

I listened to the preview on amazon.com - sounded alright to me, mid-tempo in my opinion but not as rocking as I assumed it to be from the reviews I have read on here.

[paleshadow]

How's the volume for everyone? I bought it off of i-tunes the other day and I'm disappointed in the volume level. I went to turn it up and realized the volume on my i-pod was already at the max. I downloaded a couple of other songs and they were fine. Just wondering if anyone else noticed it?

[TrueFaith77]

Mine's plenty loud -- and I'm deaf. I only play it at like half volume. Which is unheard of.

[Josh2003]

So I caved and downloaded it.

And again...doesn't really do much for me. Am I the only one?

[paleshadow]

Mine's plenty loud -- and I'm deaf. I only play it at like half volume. Which is unheard of.

If I keep forgetting to turn the volume down before the next song starts after I play it, I'll be deaf also. I guess it's possible I got a faulty download?

[Regina]

I have to say I really like the new Lindsey song. Its very catchy and I find myself singing this song all the time now. It reminds me of something that would be on a Fleetwood Mac album so I think that is why I like it so much!

I really like the song - the chorus is especially catchy. For some reason this lyric makes the song stink just a little... "Oh, when you were my baby." It just doesn't sound right...and it throws off the entire song. Kristin must have come up with that line... (kidding)

The lyric doesn't stink for me, but I did think it sounded strange, because Lindsey doesn't really use the word "baby" in his songs. He'll say something else. I have often heard people sing GYOW and they sing, "Baby I'd give you my world," and I thought to myself, well most writers would put a "baby" there, but Lindsey didn't. He'd be more like, "when you were my angel.":laugh:


Michele

[strandinthewind]

^^

I always thought he said "Maybe" the forst time and "baby" the second time. Does anyone have the album and can check :cool:

[Betsy]

I liked Michelej1 and AliP's comments about the "Baby" lyric. The song didn't touch me -- and I couldn't quite put into words what it was -- that made it sound so foriegn.

Add now the knowledge that Kristen co-wrote it, the baby lyric makes sense.

I like the music...but the words sound like a "chick-flick" in lyric, and I guess I don't see Lindsey writing "chick-flick lyrics."

[DESTINYRU!ES]

Baby isn't just a term of endearment. When I heard this song immediately I thought of his kids and LB missing them while out touring, when he returns there's much he's missed out on cause now they've grown. I think the writing is quite nice.

Yeah, I know you were and you said maybe (baby) someone could look at the album and tell us. And I just said that I don't know if many people actually have the album that GYOW is on.

However, I have looked at lyrics online and you are right that they say "maybe" first and "baby" second.

Michele

[strandinthewind]

Ah Ha -- I wonder if the online version is correct.

[Livia]

From the LP lyrics:

Maybe I'd give you my world (the 1st time)
Baby I'd give you my world (2nd time)

Shall I check my white vinyl version of Rumours too? :thumbsup:

[wondergirl9847]

The fact he uses the words "show me how" in the bridge...makes me think it is 100% about Kristen and the kiddos. :) It's kind of a tie-in with Show You How.

I equate DYYM to Trouble. It's light, poppy, radio-friendly. Not my favorite LB song, but I love everything this man does, so yes, I love DYYM. I'm not of the mindset that every song has to have a message or convoluted lyrics.

[michelej1]

I always thought he said "Maybe" the forst time and "baby" the second time.

I'd forgotten this, but I have just been thinking about the Mystified lyrics too, come to think of it. When I learned that he did the words and not the music, I was somewhat startled, a little afraid.

Michele

[henryscutter]

The song starts out a little shaky, but I like the chorus. The 100 years line kinda reminds me of Stevie when she is talking about how long FM have been around. She seems to use the phrase "100 years" a lot. It is a catchy song but I hope the rest of the cd is more edgy.

Single Reviews from My San Antonio

http://www.mysanantonio.com/entertainment/Singles_Reviews_Aug_13_2008.html


Jim Beal -

"Did You Miss Me," Lindsey Buckingham: Buckingham has a reputation as a studio perfectionist and an eccentric, but this song from his upcoming CD is simple, direct and kind of rough around the edges. Charming, too, and still a little weird. Like a sketch from memory of an almost forgotten Fleetwood Mac hit.

[dontlookdown]

love the verses,
But the chorus is a little predictable.
The first few verses could be from a 1979 Stevie song.
Overall it reminds me of a perfect cross between something from
Under The Skin and something from Mirage.

[hestergail]

I thought the exact same thing. I don't think everything he writes is for Stevie. ;) He does have a family to write about now.


Any one think that it could possibly be about both Kristen and Stevie? Maybe he's not so linear he writes about one subject. Maybe this is a hybrid?

[ajmccarrell]

Any one think that it could possibly be about both Kristen and Stevie? Maybe he's not so linear he writes about one subject. Maybe this is a hybrid?

I'm more of the "hey, this sounds good, so I'll use it in the song I'm working on" school of thought. I don't think everything he wrote is necessarily personal. I know that not all of my songs are. Some are about other people and what I thought they might have been feeling at a certain time or place. Or, sometimes I just write words that fit the mood of a song and they have no personal connection at all. It just might be ideas about fictional people rolling around in his head. To me, the song sounds like it could be about veterans being away from their families.

[SandyMac]

I downloaded this from Amazon and for me I liked it at first, but after several listens, love it! Very well done effort Mr. Buckingham!
The song just makes me happy. :blob1:
If done right, a video would be so awesome for this song.
(clips of Lindsey on the road, missing his family, etc..)

I am just so glad Lindsey is still being creative and making new music.
(I agree about the whispering, but hopefully it is just a style phase he went through), guess we all go through phases in our lives.

It is the kind of song that can get stuck in your head and you hum it at work.
Looking forward to hearing the whole album.
