Single Review Darius Rucker "Miss You"

"Miss You" is Darius Rucker’s latest single off of his True Believers album. It’s a song that really touched me even on first listen, which I think has as much to do with the subject matter as it does with Darius's performance. Any couple who have been together for a long period of time will immediately relate to the song. "Miss You", written by Darius and his producer Frank Rogers, is about falling into that routine; where a couple seems to be more friends than lovers. You can share dinner, a bottle of wine, and conversation, but true intimacy is lacking. It's not that you have fallen out of love, but day to day activities take precedence over remembering to connect as a couple. In the ballad, Darius's vocals are genuine; you can feel the love, and the ache to be close. 



"How can we go all night
and not even touch one another
And not be lovers
How did we get here
Where you can be right there
And I can be with you
And miss you"

Unlike most of what you currently hear across the airwaves, “Miss You” is a mature song for a mature audience….one that I hope radio and listeners won't miss embracing.
