THE STORY BEHIND
Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce the release of my new single, “Did You Ever Miss Me.” Dropping Thursday 28th of November (or available a bit earlier in some regions starting Thursday at 2 PM NY time), this folk-rock ballad will be live on all major streaming platforms like Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and Amazon. This song is very personal to me, and I can’t wait for you to hear the story it tells.
A SONG OF MEMORY AND LONGING
“Did You Ever Miss Me” dives into the complicated emotions around family and separation, sharing the experience of a young boy facing the uncertainty of his parents’ split. Through this song, I explore the lingering question: did he ever miss me? It’s about those hidden moments of vulnerability and the silent questions we often keep close. With an indie-folk sound, the song channels reflections on family bonds, losses, and the unresolved feelings that can shape us.
A SOUND THAT BRIDGES EMOTION AND MELODY
Musically, “Did You Ever Miss Me” blends the warmth of folk rock with a touch of indie-pop and soft rock. The song opens with a mellow acoustic vibe, supported by layered guitars and steady rhythms that build with the chorus. Its mid-tempo beat and a balanced mix of guitar textures create a sound that’s both nostalgic and refreshing. I wanted to keep the instrumentation simple yet emotive, letting the lyrics carry the weight of the story and allowing listeners to feel the bittersweet emotions.
CONNECTING THROUGH UNIVERSAL THEMES
While this song is based on my own experiences, it’s a story I think many can relate to. “Did You Ever Miss Me” reflects on family, love, and those pivotal moments that shape us, for better or for worse. It’s about wondering “what if” and seeking closure where it may never come. I hope this song resonates with anyone who’s felt a connection fray and wondered about the memories left behind.
READY FOR THE RELEASE
I’m counting down to share this release with you. Whether you’re into singer-songwriter ballads, folk-rock, or stories told through music, “Did You Ever Miss Me” is a song for anyone who finds beauty in raw honesty and connection. I’m grateful for your support, and I’m looking forward to hearing how this song speaks to you. Stay tuned for more updates as the release approaches!

Lyrics
DID YOU EVER MISS ME KAPO 4
G C6 G
Vers 1: When I was just a child, you and Mom went your separate ways
D
You asked me where I’d wanna live, but I was lost in a foggy haze
G C6 G
I chose my mom and saw you runnin’ outta the door
D G
And though you tried to make it work, I missed you more and more
C9 G
Chorus: Did you ever miss me, when you were gone?
C9 D
Did you ever think of me, and what’s going on?
G C9
Did you ever wonder, what should have been?
G D G
Did you ever miss me, my hero, my friend?
Verse 2: Years went by and life went on, and we drifted apart
I was waiting every Saturday, you were starting a new start
A new family came along, and I felt left out in the dark
Now I’ve got a son of my own, this rips up an old scar
H7 Em
Bridge Though we’ve been in touch, it’s only been from afar
H7 Em
Still feel a chance of hope, a chance to relight our spark
H7 Em
There lives a part in me that wonders if you knew
D D7
Just how much I missed you
Break: Did you ever miss me, when your day was done?
Did you ever think of me when you’re home alone?
Did you ever wonder, what should have been?
Did you ever miss me, my hero, my friend?
Chorus: Did you ever miss me, when your day was done?
Did you ever think of, all the moments we’ve lost
Did you ever wonder, what should have been?
Did you ever miss me, my hero, my friend?
C9 G
Outro: Did you ever miss me Did you ever miss me
D C9 G
Did you ever miss me, I surely did.
