garranOkay! Emboldened some by the overwhelmingly supportive response last time, I won't lock this one.
Missed is a rather older song than the last; I wrote it over three days in early 2002*, and I actually even recorded it once before, sometime that year, for Rachel. I no longer even have that file (though I'll bet she does), but I trust that this one shows at least some small improvement. (I'm pretty happy with it; the only really prominent flaw is a hesitation in the last verse, and the few bars thereafter stained with the resulting nervousness. Oh, and I manage at the end to sing 'thit's' instead of 'that's', but that's a pretty minor thing.)
For those who aren't familiar with the song, my explanation of the (perhaps over-) simplicity of the lyric is that I was going for early Beatles. The deepish guitar solo will, of course, probably sound very little like what stands in for it here.
* March, I guess, because I began it in the shower in New York, and I remember that I left on that trip right as Miho fell. This is, of course, a coincidence; the song is not about Miho (sorry, J.).

In both cases, though, I sometimes have a bit of trouble understanding the tune; I wonder if perhaps perhaps you change keys from verse to verse? Maybe you just have a lot of intricate instrumentation playing in your head.
Anyway, w00t. I love this song.

I wondered this too, so I skipped around the soundfile, listening to the first and third verse (and then the first and second 'faithless') in quick succession. To my ear, they're all the same key. It does sound like something moves, though, doesn't it?
I don't think the guitar is very intricate, though it's remarkably specific as my head-instruments go. Early Beatles, you know.
