After winning several medals in Jamaica National Festival song competitions at 11 and 12 years of age, Denyque went on to be a straight “A” student when attending the prestigious Belair High School in Mandeville, Jamaica. After graduating with honors in 2008, financial restrictions kept her from accepting a scholarship to Berklee School of Music in Boston in the same year, but Denyque still couldn’t resist her calling to music and decided to keep following her passion.
Under the tutelage of Phillip “Juniour Arrows” Linton, Arrows management steered her to her first hit single “Can’t Breathe” in early 2009. She followed up with another hit single “Pieces”, produced by veteran producer Don Corleon, and then continued honing her skills with producers Neil “Cash Flow” Mitchell, Conroy Forte from Washroom Productions, and another industry veteran, producer Jeremy Harding, releasing her latest single , “Super Girl”.
After her stint with Arrows management had ended, Denyque’s efforts would not go unnoticed and one meeting with Jade Lee CEO of Jade Promotions sealed a new management deal in early 2010.
Miss You
Denyque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I Don't know what it is
But baby I be missing you
When your gone I hold my pillow tight
Wishing we all could sleep at night
I miss you, I miss you
When you go I hate to watch you leave
Don't know when you'll come back to me
(Verse 1)
The days or longer nights don't hold a guarantee of your return
And though I rapped up tight I toss and turn
Boy I toss and turn
If I could just hear your voice
If I could just hear you say my name some how
I try not to cry but I cant deny
Nature here I know
(Verse 2)
Love is creation and it's pure as for me
But though it hurts sometimes
It's not on purpose, and it's all worth it
So I force my self to smile
I know you had to go
But I didn't want to see you walk away
I know you coming home if not today
Soon your coming back to me
(Verse 3)
How do I do this
Oh God please help mi through this
I don't know what it's like to be alone
When or when is he coming home
Forever, forever, and ever, and ever
Many day I'm home alone
Together forever
You and me, me baby ohh
How do I do this
Oh God please help mi through this
I don't know what it's like to be alone
When or when is he coming home
Forever, forever, and ever, and ever
Many day I'm home alone
Together forever
You and me, me baby ohh
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
Denyque's song Miss You is a soulful ballad about longing for someone and missing their presence. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and helplessness when the person isn't around. The song starts with the line "Can't do a thing without you", which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer seems to be completely dependent on the person she is missing. She says "Baby I be missing you", which implies a sense of helplessness and vulnerability.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I miss you" multiple times, underscoring the depth of her feelings. She says she hates to watch the person leave and doesn't know when they'll come back. The uncertainty of the situation adds to the tension and anxiety the singer is feeling.
The second verse talks about the pain that comes with being in love. She says, "Love is creation and it's pure for me, but though it hurts sometimes, it's not on purpose, and it's all worth it". This line captures the paradox of love - it is both joyous and painful. The singer acknowledges the pain but also sees the value in it.
The song ends with a plea to God for help and a desire for a forever love. The final line, "You and me, me baby ohh" is a sweet, hopeful expression of love.
