God this brings back memories. I haven’t heard this song in twenty five years. I miss that time.

Before the internet, cell phones and social media, when you broke up with someone and you lost all contact with them, sometimes walking by their old address or places you both used to hang out at or having old photographs was the only way to remember and relive those memories. Sometimes people change their names or move to other countries and stay hidden or are lost forever. This is such a melancholic masterpiece of a song and a missive to lost love.

​@@danbrockettDOP It was actually the Todd Terry Club Remix of "Missing" that was a major hit in several countries. The lesser-known original version, as heard in this video, did poorly on the charts for whatever reason. The original version only charted in the UK and it peaked at a measly 69. It's a shame more people aren't familiar with the original version, as it's a great track, in my opinion. I love the beat, acoustic guitar and keyboard sounds. I'll even go as far as to say I prefer the original version over the Todd Terry remix, but that's not to say that the remix is bad by any means. I love 1990s house/club music.

It's been almost two years now and it has settled down a little, but still cry every few days and I doubt that will ever go away... we had an excellent marriage. Not perfect, but we rarely argued (I don't recall arguments honestly), said "I love you" to each other at least three times a day...

I remember the first time I heard this. I did not lose a family member. I just broke up with my girl and this song really expressed how I felt. The only song that can touch this is by Lazarus Q song good by horses. Again thank you and I pray that you are in a stronger place in the universe. Peace

We used to have this on cassette tape, Now That's What I call Music 1995 or something. I have a memory of this song. I can remember it's a winter's evening, very cold and dark outside but inside our family home the curtains were pulled, the lights are turned down low and everything seemed cozy, with this being played on our stereo and everyone was happy.

So sorry for your loss😢 I lost my mum in July 1984... hadn't spoke to her for 2 years, thinking I could make up with her when the time was right. Sadly she died suddenly at the age of 50😢 I was distraught and desperately missed her. My sadness could not be described in words...and I was full of regret for each second that I had away from her....that is until this song hit the charts. Listening to it, initially my grief hit me hard just like it did when she passed away. Every word of the song resonated with the feelings of my loss and grief. After repeatedly listening to it and crying over the next year or so.... my tears slowly subsided and I started remembering the wonderful happy times we had together. So this song was the turning point in my life when I started slowly recovering I suppose. I will never stop missing my mum as long as I live, but I have learned to live comfortably with her and my beautiful memories of her in my heart ❤ I pray that you find the same peace as I do now🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊

He's right. First time hearing this one.

I worked at Sears when I was younger, and they would play this song over the store speakers sometimes. The rest of their playlist was terrible, as was the job, but discovering this song almost made working there worth it. I quit after a few months and moved on with my life-traveled, experienced the world, went through a heartbreak or two. A decade later, as I approach thirty, this song has started popping back into my head. I think back to my eighteen-year-old self folding clothes at the store, this song playing from the scratchy speakers in the ceiling, and I realize there's no way I could have really understood what this song was about at the time. I'm only just now beginning to understand. It resonates more and more as time goes on, and lately has begun to give me goosebumps each time I hear it. Thank you for the wonderful music, EBTG.

In 1993-4 I met an old lady in Lithuania who had lived near where I grew up in the 60s-70s. She had been born and raised till about age 11-12 there, and had been taken “back” by her parents to Lithuania, a country she did not know. This was the late 1930s. As a teenager she went through the war, a brutal German occupation, then Russian occupation (the area had partisans against both lots of invaders.) That part of Lithuania was closed to foreigners (to all except Russians and neighboring Latvians, and eventually to East Germans) and had radio & TV jamming masts. For 50 years the only time she heard English again was when in hospital for an op and the surgeon noticed her Book of Common Prayer (edition from around 1900, written in old fashioned English even then.). This was how she had kept up her memory of English, by reading this little book every night and morning. She asked me what the English words were for radiatorus, telivisorų and so on. She was so powerfully homesick for the little corner of the shire she remembered - about a mile from where my dad grew up. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that it was now unrecognisable; the coal slag heaps gone, along with all the country roads and isolated miners hamlets, the fields and hedges of brambles and rosehips. Now it’s a suburb, a motorway; the banks of the stream routed behind a maze of huge metal-box-warehousing and container-trucking, and filled with old shopping trolleys. Where she lived now, in a small country town in Lithuania, with fields and small allotments where ordinary people had their veg gardens - it was much more like where she grew up.

The one and only !!! I always loved 'I miss you like the desert miss the rain' !! Thank you !

Lyrics: I step off the train I'm walking down your street again And past your door, but you don't live there anymore It's years since you've been there Now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space You've found some better place And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain Could you be dead? You always were two steps ahead, of everyone We'd walk behind while you would run I look up at your house And I can almost hear you shout down to me Where I always used to be And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain Back on the train, I ask why did I come again? Can I confess, I've been hanging round your old address? And the years have proved To offer, nothing since you've moved You're long gone, but I can't move on And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you I step off the train I'm walking down your street again And past your door, I guess you don't live there anymore It's years since you've been there And now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space You've found some better place And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you, yeah Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you, and I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you, yeah Like the deserts miss the rain The deserts miss the rain Like the deserts miss the rain Like the deserts miss the rain Like the deserts miss the rain

Love this song

***I close my eyes while listening this song and in front of me instantly i see myself, as a 16 years old schoolgirl, yearning for fairytale lovestory, waiting for my exciting future life to happend, and with a big bag full of dreams in my hands. Isn't it amazing how JUST ONE SONG can put us on a time machine and at least for a 4 minutes and 5 seconds we can be a teenagers again..!!!!!??!

It is so important when rare artists like Tracy Thorn are able to articulate so clearly what we are feeling so deeply but are unable to articulate either to ourselves or to those around us. In the absence of words, we bleed in silence until she sings what is in our hearts...

I didn't say she wasn't beautiful, I was saying she ain't transgender, and rumours like that often start because someone isn't "conventionally" pretty. I remember when this came out, society had a lot to say about how she wasn't conventionally pretty, people had a LOT to say on the subject. It was stupid. That's why I said " whatever the hell that is!" Anyway, it's a great song, love coming back for a listen.

This song is deeper than the oceans ...

That line “could you be dead” gets me every time. Makes me wonder if those who were once close to me are still here.

For a quick second, i was transferred to 1995

I was so attached to the person who showed me this song, and now is all memories... ironic and sad, but still love the song :(

I remember the first time I heard this song, you played it for me Mark, on a Saturday in 1996 while we were packaging up computer disks to donate. It captured my soul instantly as did you. Thank you for the brief love that we shared, my most treasured memories. You’ve been in heaven for over 20 years but my soul still aches for your love. This song brings me back, I still miss you like the deserts miss the rain. RIP Georgie ❤️ I’ll love you always, until we meet again. ~N 🦋

The song just pure 90's vibe.

2:24 A bold creative choice that has made this music so exceptional. Almost no melody, only meaningful words. What an experience to listen to this, even years and years after hearing It for the first time. I used to listen to this as a child, now I'm literally feeling this music.

Loddy is listening as long as I'm alive. This song has the perfect words for a situation I was in back in 1995. I love it!❤❤❤

For me, this song brings back living in southern Germany, in an Alfa Romeo heading down to the lakes on a sunny day with the windows down - so far from home. In those days, when you travelled, you really were far away from home and it was a real adventure. First time hearing Everything But The Girl was in that Alfa on that sunny day, 22 years old.

This song is timeless and still relevant in 2020 🙂🙏

A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty. Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

I used to listen to this song over and over again, back when it first came out.

Tracey Thorn has a sweet powerful amazing voice that will sound good 50 yrs from now. Wish she and Ben would cover 50's country songs.

This should be definitely as one of top songs in human art

Missing this song July 28th, 2024 ❤❤

Listened to this track for about 6 hours straight driving overnight through a blizzard in Michigan once. Got "there" safely, and the time had slipped past in what seemed to have been only the blink of an eye thanks to EBTG that night. Good god but I'd get into a time machine and go back to those simpler, sweeter days without a moment's hesitation. Cheers, all.

Thoughtful lyrics, great musicianship and a beautifully understated delivery, simply wonderful.

I'd be honored if some EBTG fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PRAYING FOR TIME and MOTHERS PRIDE on my YT channel in tribute to the great George Michael. George stated that Tracey Thorn was an important influence on him starting in the early 90s, and you can hear that influence on his masterpiece 1996 album Older and his later works. George and Tracey are 2 of the greatest vocalists ever, it's a shame they never collaborated on a song... thanks and peace.

I am. Probably always will be. There's no vanishing now, at least not completely, but this song is an anthem to that time of easy vanishing that our kids will never, ever know... But who is luckier for this - us, or our kids...?

Who’s watching this on 2021 ? Missing the freedom of the 90’s we took our perfect world for granted ... can’t wait to hit the dance floors again and dance the night away. Love you all ❤️

Nothing like the 90's ❤ take me back

Wow I remember singing this over and over when I split up with my first partner . Now we are still friends after 40 years

Beautiful song I love it at 64 years old I love music I have already added that to my collection

It's funny. When I heard this song on the radio as a kid I made up lyrics because I didn't understand what Tracey was saying. I remember life being a lot brighter back then, everything so fresh. I finally understand what this song means. A few years ago I ruined a sincere friendship with one of those people who would pay any price to save someone. All she wanted was an ear to do the same. I tried to go to the house she grew up in so long ago. A place in my mind I never thought she would leave. She's gone now, no way to contact her and she doesn't speak to her family. How ugly was I to treat someone I love in a manner such as that. I'm sorry, I deserve what you left.

As a teenager I had a bitter sweet relationship with this song, I only imagined a lovers perspective and was utterly against being "hooked" for someone who refused to love you back. Now I an older and this song is about grieving it can be about anyone you love and it's gone, a parent, a grandparent, heck even a beloved pet!
