First single 'Little Clouds' (built around the deep soul of front-lady Elke Bruyneel) has already been playing on the radio over the last few months. The incorporation of Elke - a jeune première who likes to rub her voice up to those of vocal queens like Ella Fitzgerald, Beth Gibbons and Angie Stone - was a great move musically. With her arrival Delavega last year began a promising new chapter involving dub, noise, (nu) jazz, funk, soul and urgent rock as musical sources.
The new album THE DAY AFTER is out OCT 22nd. DELAVEGA will be presenting their 2nd full album to the audience NOVEMBER 14th at the Handelsbeurs in Gent and NOVEMBER 22nd at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels.

Missing you
DeLaVega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't
you hear me
you used to
listen, you used
to put it all in place
but now there's
just a crying face
the tears of years
gone by looking back
and wondering why
I'm still missing you.
Why did you go
you used to stay,
you used to walk my way
but now there's
just an empty road
I'm walking through
this wonderland alone
I'm wondering all alone,
I'm still missing you,
yeah I'm still missing you.
I still remember
you sweet caress
your tenderness
I want to
hold you tight
if loving you is wrong
I don't wonna be right
I don't wonna be right.
Searching for
some piece of mind
I wind back time
and find myself
trapped again
all left behind
I'm longing for someone
to call my own
to bring the sun
to bring the sun
baby I'm still...
You got me back
back on the ground
I'm bound forever
cause I'm...
Some days I'm doing fine
but than I fall
crawl back up
and I'm still...
I'm still missing you...

De La Vega’s song “Missing You” is a soulful and melancholic ballad that reflects the pain of losing someone you love. The singer begins by expressing his frustration that the person he is missing can no longer hear him, despite the fact that they used to listen to him and put everything in place. He is left with only a crying face as he looks through the tears of the years gone by. He wanders through his memories and wonders why he still can’t get over the loss. He then asks why the person he is missing had to go, when they used to stay and walk his way. He is now alone on an empty road, wandering through this wonderland alone, still missing them.
The singer then reminisces about the tenderness and sweetness of the person he is missing, and how he wants to hold them tight. He expresses his feelings that loving them is worth the pain of missing them. He is often trapped in his memories, wishing for someone to call his own, someone who can bring the sun back into his life. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that he is still missing the person he has lost, and that he is bound to that feeling forever.

Why can't
I am wondering why
you hear me
you are not paying attention to me
you used to
in the past, you used to
listen, you used
you used to listen carefully and attentively
to put it all in place
understand everything and give me guidance
but now there's just a crying face
now, I am sad and crying
I'm looking through the tears of years
looking back on a long time with sadness
gone by looking back and wondering why
thinking about the past and not understanding why things ended up this way
I'm still missing you.
I still want to be with you and feel your presence in my life
Why did you go
I want to know why you left
you used to stay, you used to walk my way
you used to be close to me in the past
but now there's just an empty road
now, I feel lonely
I'm walking through this wonderland alone
I am experiencing life without you in a strange, unfamiliar way
I'm wondering all alone, I'm still missing you, yeah I'm still missing you.
I am still longing to be with you and feeling lonely
I still remember you sweet caress your tenderness I want to hold you tight
I still remember your touch and want to feel it again
if loving you is wrong I don't wonna be right I don't wonna be right.
I do not care if it is wrong to love you, I still want to be with you
Searching for some piece of mind I wind back time and find myself trapped again all left behind I'm longing for someone to call my own to bring the sun to bring the sun baby I'm still...
I am searching for peace and going back to the past, hoping to find someone else who can make me happy
You got me back back on the ground I'm bound forever cause I'm...
you brought me back down to reality and now, my fate is bound to you
Some days I'm doing fine but than I fall crawl back up and I'm still... I'm still missing you...
on some days, I am okay, but then I feel down again and continue to miss you
