Review: "I Miss You" - Neem

Neem gives us a beautiful ballad reflecting on love lost too soon. As the listener we gather the emotion and feeling that comes with losing a person that we're deeply in love with. Everyone has to experience the first love heartbreak, which is what makes this song so beautifully relatable. One of my favorite lines says, "Am I out of my mind / Arm round a girl, not you / You walked by / We locked eyes / There was nothing I could say or do." I believe this lines showcases not only the depth of what ot means to miss someone but also the inner relfection the artist is doing while writing the song. However, the chorus sets the precedent for the whole song. We know for a fact after listening to the chorus that this song is drenched in the emotion of what it's like to be missing. The chorus says, "I miss you / Know that I'll be a friend / And I wish you / Would think this over again." As the artist is processing and trying to move on, they make it known that even in the midst of heartbreak all they want is to keep the friendship.

"I Miss You," has a reflective and introspective tone. Having the artist examine himself allows for the mood to build up adding even more depth. When it comes to the mood, we're met with melancholy and hope. While we're sad we also hold out that at minimum a friendship can blossom in light of heartbreak. The instrumentation adds a certain smoothness that gives the song a finished feel. With the basic yet beautiful acoustic guitar, drums, and piano we're prepped for the strong emotion that the music holds. When you add the vocalist's , they meld a low and slow, and a high and warm range that blends well with not only the instrumentation but with each other as well.

Neem brings a fresh take on a vintage vibe. The song's are rather introspective and candid. Each one paints a picture of lifes joy and tragedies with heartfelt and deep lyrics that keep your mind wandering. Neem has preformed with many different artist including Jollee, Tesh Batkins, Amela, Amira, Zola Sky, Tom Wensley and James Davies. They have also co-written many songs with the previously mentioned artist's. Neem advocates for the creative community, his ultimate goal is to improve the music industry by making it a more supportive environment. If you're looking for a sweet fall song that'll tug at your heart strings, then make sure you check out "I Miss You." Keep your eyes peeled for new music by Neem!
