Did You Miss Me is up...
 

The first single is up on Amazon (linked from lindseybuckingham.com)

Thanks for the link!

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?

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

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

I hear "come" and "know"

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

Then where did wondergirl9847 get the lyrics from?

LOL

Do you really have to ask?

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!

Why, who is wondergirl and why would she have it? I'm confused.... :confused:

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!

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.

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.

???

Um... you might want to re-read the thread again. (edit: glad you did)

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.

Really selfish and immature to post lyrics to the whole song and then leave us hanging. :(

there are those who can't keep a secret...tsktsk

time for lindsey to allocate a spanking :nod:

Well, I like lyrics. I really want to know what Treason is about. So, anyone who wants to post those lyrics, please do so. And I don't care where you got them as long as Lindsey wasn't, you know, like threatened in the process.

In re: to the "trend" I was referring to a few posts back.

Are those really the lyrics?

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...

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.

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.

For indie releases, yes. For major labels, no.

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."

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.
