MISSING YOU

Howdy all, here's our first J&B new song post in over a month...but we sure have been having fun with collabs!

Recently Lawrence (Gruverider) kindly let us interpret one of his songs. The version he sent us was so pretty that it was a bit intimidating to tackle an arrangement but we decided to give it our best effort. After putting together and auditioning five completely different BiaB bands this is where we landed. We trust we did it justice.

This is my first effort at a “lyric video” and there are definitely some things I’ll do differently the next time. I shot several photos of Janice for the recent collab with Joanne and this was a rare one where Janice wasn’t smiling. smile It fit the mood for this song but all my others of her, even older ones, have her signature big smile. So I had to go with one photo. What the heck.

MISSING YOU
© 2015 LAWRENCE OLIVIER

I’VE GOT A HEADACHE POUNDING LIKE PROBLEMS UNRESOLVED
MY EYES ARE BLEARY MY MOUTH IS DRY AS SALT
AND SCENES FROM LAST NIGHT ARE STARTING TO COME THROUGH
AND I’M ALREADY MISSING YOU

I DRANK TO HAPPINESS THEN I DRANK TO EXCESS
SWEAR I’M SORRY LOVE FOR GETTING US IN THIS MESS
FOOLISHNESS AND SELFISHNESS GOT NO PLACE IN LOVE’S BREW
AND I’M ALREADY MISSING YOU

TURNAROUND

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN YOU TOOK ME BY THE HAND
SAID I WAS YOUR WOMAN ’N IF I WERE SMART I’D LET YOU BE MY MAN
I GUESS FATES GONNA HAVE IT’S WAY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO
AND I’M ALREADY MISSING YOU

BRIDGE
WE BREAK OUR PROMISES WE BREAK EACH OTHER’S HEARTS
THEN WE ACT LIKE WE DON’T CARE
WE BREAK THE WORLD YES, WE’RE TEARING IT IN TWO
AND I BROKE ME RIGHT AFTER I BROKE YOU

SO HERE’S MY STORY AND IF I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START
START IT IN GLORY END IT UP IN BROKEN HEARTS
I FEEL LIKE CRYING BUT WHO WOULD I CRY TO
SO I’LL JUST SIT HERE MISSING YOU

I’LL BE FOREVER MISSING YOU
