Here is the new lyric video for my song I'm Missing Me.
It is a classic country tearjerker - very sad song for those who've lost loved ones to know they're not alone.
Thank you very much for watching!

Clever lyrics and classic country instrumentation and chord progressions. You did great vocals and harmonies. The piano fit the melody really well I thought.

Enjoyed this a lot.

As Charlie described it.
Classic country.
The intro and when the vocal comes in seems slightly odd...as if the intro was too short.
That's just my perception though.


Cheers

Josie, your vocal on this is wonderful! It's a great country song and I couldn't hear a single thing I would want to change! The harmonies are sweet also! You did such a super job with every aspect of the song! It's professional through and through! My best wishes for you to get some attention for this one! Take care, Torrey.

Hi, Josie.

This is a really good "classic" country write - it's got a nice melody, lovely harmony, and - as you so accurately wrote - a tearjerker chorus.

Love it! laugh

Josie,

A good write - that reflects early 80's Country in all of its aspects - the lyric and subject matter, the melody, arrangement...

Nice vocals. A good mix.

(The piano notes seem to be "cut short"...they don't "ring" the way one would expect, like there is no "space" in the room. No reverb? maybe? MIDI? Mostly noticeable in the opening. The overall production is very nice).

Good to see you post again... Well done.

Hi Josie,

I listened a couple of times to your beautiful song. At first just to let it come to me as it is. Beautiful! Secondly, when I read some posts I listened to your song again. Conclusion? Still a beautiful song! The lyrics are very sensitive and very well written and 'from the heart'. In Dutch we have the same word for Tearjerker; Tranentrekker, but don't try to pronounce that. And your song is, but a beautiful one! I also liked the piano very much, as well as your sob (you call it like this?) halfway. And i won't forget the vocal harmonies, well done! So, for me you have made a beautiful song.

Hat off, Josie,
Hans

WOW Josie this is outstanding and possibly your best to date. Loved the backing tracks and your vocal but those lyrics took it over the top for me. This is definitely a song that Tammy Wynette would sing.

This is radio ready right now and the kind of country I wish the stations up here would play.
