From an emcee lens I’ve been feeling like I’ve missed out on something.

“What is it” you might’ve asked your Alexa and read this instead because it’s coming straight from me.

The answer though, it’s the soul aspect of the music I’ve been making lately.

Honestly this piece been the thing that help me back from sharing most of my songs, at least earlier in my career.

Don’t get me wrong, I had lyrics that could turn heads in any room but it occurs that music’s more than the words.

What is an example of we missed you?

Sender.net says it’s by using these type of phrases:

• It’s been too quiet without you
• Let’s catch up
• Hey, [insert name] we miss your smiling face
• You’re missed

To add context they specifically mention those prompts as being email templates.

This could still be applied effectively for music because believe it or not there’s plenty of emails that go around with sound.

In this case I picture it being something where you might have to apologize to some highly important people.

Maybe it’s the promoter of a club that you had to make things right with because you came up short for their event.

Let’s get a little more specific where maybe you missed a dinner you were supposed to make.

That really ends up being something that hurts you but apologizing is showing your maturity.

What is another way to say I missed you?

I came across it being “it’s been too long” and I like that a lot!

Saying the played out phrase “I missed you” gets monotonous and you might want a different way of saying it.

Being someone that takes music with purpose and passion makes this feel important with addressing.

There’s an expectation we have as artists to continually reinvent the wheel it seems and sometimes that’s repetitive.

It’s been what killed (popularly speaking of course) hot artists and they might need help with meeting demands creatively.

I got you.

Learning new ways to say the same message is highly valuable regardless of what anybody tells you.

Whether most people will admit that they’re really wanting the same thing or not is up to them.

It’s our job to serve the same thing without it appearing that way obviously.

That’s where expanding your palette and listening to other artists help you discover new ways of doing the same thing.

There’s different areas that prove this to be true.

How do you say something missed?

• That ain’t it
• Better luck next time
• What were you aiming at?
• Why’d you do that?!
• Brick

Maybe someone does something that didn’t get received well whether it was by you or other people y’all might know.

We’re a community here at Real Talk and sometimes it takes a village, with that comes a need to keep it real with loved ones whether current or past.

Try to zero in your focus on being around what’s called ‘yes men’ and this point should make more sense.

And avoiding an earned label like that one might call for telling someone that you don’t agree with something respectfully.

This message comes from a place of care my fellow musician.

You might be someone that gets most of your messages through the craft but it’ll take some push and dissecting this text.

How do you say you miss something without saying it?

It’s usually done through a gesture, not just any kind though, it has to be thoughtful.

One scenario that came immediately to mind is if you miss out on a relationship that fizzled out initially.

You might wanna get that person back but still wanna keep it player because come on, sometimes pride’s a bitch.

It’s a journey though because there’s really levels to exercising and showing you can put it in check.

This can be where actions can speak much louder than any word you’ll say.

My grandmother would constantly remind me of how the best way to say you’re sorry or you’re changed is through your walk.

It’s really in the behavior!

Final Thoughts

I’m pretty impressed myself with turning a standard question anyone could find to a musical message.

Missing on most levels is usually a bad thing but people forget that it could sometimes mean something good.

Let’s say someone threw something your way and it’s something that could’ve seriously injured you..

Now that sounds like a scenario where you want someone to miss.

Or maybe you’re up by 1 against an opponent in a sport and you want them to miss, voila!

Missing in this way when it comes to music can be a highly emotional thing that starts off negative but could turn positive.
