I’m missing someone right now, and I feel like indulging it. anyone got some emo goodness for me? preferably non-radio, but don’t refrain if it’s a great song. but please, please for the love of god, no whiny boys. aka, if you even mention the abomination that is Blink-182, I will have you shaved, sterilized, and destroyed. =) thanks! ---

Well, not emo (since I hate it), but you can’t go wrong with _Miss You_- Rolling Stones. ---

Are you missing someone who you love and loves you back, but is temporarily unavailable? Or are you missing someone who dumped you? Because that’s going to make a difference regarding what songs to recommend. ---

> [@DarkSideoftheFloyd](#): > > Well, not emo (since I hate it), but you can’t go wrong with _Miss You_- Rolling Stones. thanks; I actually haven’t heard that. this is just so annoying, 'cause I have a million songs on any topic, except this. the only one I know is “I Miss You” by Incubus-- a good song, but I can only listen to it so many times, y’know? ---

[As I Lay Me Down by Sophie B. Hawkins](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/sophie-b-hawkins/127780.html) I posted this in a wedding music thread recently, but it works here, too. I swear I’m really not trying to pimp her out musically. This is actually the only song of hers I’ve ever heard, but I really like it. ---

[Kid Dynamite-SOS](http://sosletra.kiddynamite.letrasdemusicas.com.br/musica.php?id=28581) Kid Dynamite sounds like 80’s hardcore punk meets 90s pop-punk (Screeching Weasel, not Blink 182). Sample lyrics: > [@](#): > > My heart skipped a beat > That night before we said goodbye > Did you catch it? > Please say you caught it > Looked in your eyes > Grabbed every sigh > Please dont forget to breathe > Because it’s killing me > The moon was gone for hours > When we were winding down > Should have stayed up longer > Your eyes were tired, I know > Please understand > That I’ll be back > Well if you’re still around > That’s where I’ll be ---

omg-- SCOTs is fuckin’ hilarious. so I’m sure that song’s not what I was lookin’ for, **Foolonthehill** , but I bet I’ll appreciate it anyway. =D thanks **ccwaterback** , but those seem like maybe “I-got-dumped” songs…? and nice lyrics **IKenSpelGud** ; I’ve never heard of that band or song, both good things. =) ---

“So Far Away” by Carole King. I think it’s the perfect ‘I miss you’ song. ---

I’ve always like Dire Straits’ “So Far Away”… not sure if it’s the same as the Carole King one **well he’s back** mentioned. ---

When you want to be depressed, you can’t go wrong with Counting Crows. Adam Duritz, the lead singer, is the most depressing sonofabitch on the face of the earth. Johnny Cash would tell this man to lighten up. [http://www.countingcrows.com/](http://www.countingcrows.com/) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/miss-you-songs/294415.md?page=2)
