Miss You So Much feat. Miira

I wrote this song about the feelings I had when I had just turned 40. I had several versions earlier with a vocaloid singing, but now finally in this version a real singer, Miira. I had thought that the Vocaloid Avanna version was quite good and couldn't be much improved with a real singer, but I was totally wrong. Miira's soulful voice fits perfectly this song, her interpretation captures the mood and the harmonies she created are marvelous. I'm really glad I have found her to sing my songs.

And of course Band-in-a-box has been the best possible tool to express the musical vision I had in my mind years ago.

Lyrics:

I should not have
let the light shine in
I shouldn't have
run to the whirlwind.
I should have stayed inside
under the quilt
shut the door of the
home we never built
tell me why
dreams die.

Miss you so much
cannot handle this feeling
storm is breaking
restlessly sleeping
where is the knight
who rides the wildest horse?

I shouldn't have
eaten fruits forbidden
shouldn't have freed
waters deeply hidden
I should have emptied my
drifting mind
repressed desires
closed bedroom blind
tell me why
springs dry.

[Chorus]

We were close together
sunrise of lives
shyly looking
but the moment arrives,
no time for big confessions
at the end of the ball
paralyzed
couldn't answer your last call.

[Chorusx3]
