The name Seafret, as well as being a pun on the guitar fret board, is also a local term for the two boys; it applies to the rolling mists that come in off the North Sea during summer. Now living in London, the sea is what the duo miss the most.
First meeting at an open mic night around 2011, the two had distinctly different levels of experience. Though a few years younger, Harry Draper was an experienced local musician; Jack Sedman, meanwhile, had quite literally only just discovered his voice.
Seafret released their debut EP 'Give Me Something' on Sweet Jane Recordings on September 21st 2014. The ‘Give Me Something’ EP features five tracks, ‘Give Me Something’, ‘Explosion’, ‘Play With Guns’, ‘Did We Miss The Morning’ and an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Something’ that bookends the EP.

Missing
Seafret Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for truth in the words I speak
but the message is blurred and never quite complete.
How you look in my eyes, I know you deserve more.
Reflections in the water help to clear my mind,
stretching out before me to the other side.
We didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.
Give me something to live for, something to die for.
Is there something I'm not, not seeing?
Is it not enough just, just being?
Is there something that I'm, I'm missing?
Well I don't know what you need when I'm so unprepared.
Tell me, what is a life, if it is not shared?
I keep falling asleep pretending that you're there,
you gave me something to live for, something to die for.
Is there something that I'm, I'm missing?
Is there something I'm not, not seeing?
Is it not enough just, just being?
Is there something that I'm, I'm missing?
I'm missing.
(whoa)
(whoa)
'Cause I feel it.
'Cause I feel it.
'Cause I feel it.
'Cause I feel it.
'Cause I feel it.
You get what you deserve,
living in the dirt.
All that work and you're breaking it, breaking it.
It only gets worse, living in the dirt.
All that work and you're breaking it, breaking it
down.
Why are you breaking me, breaking me down?
Why are you breaking me, breaking me down?
Is there something that I'm, I'm missing?
No matter how hard I try, you're not listening.
There must be something that I'm, I'm missing.
The lyrics of Seafret's song "Missing" hint at the struggles in a romantic relationship that has lost its spark, leaving one partner feeling neglected and unfulfilled. The singer seems to be trying to recapture the way things used to be in their relationship, but feels like he is not getting through to his partner, as the message seems incomplete and blurred. He expresses concern that his partner deserves more than what he is currently giving, and wonders if there is something he is missing or not seeing. Despite wanting to try and make things work, the singer feels unprepared and unsure about what his partner needs from him.
The chorus of the song reiterates the singer's feelings of confusion and insecurity about their relationship, as he asks if there is something he is missing or not seeing. He feels like he is falling asleep pretending his partner is there, and wonders if there is something more he can give to make their relationship work. The repetition of the "whoa" and "cause I feel it" lines in the outro also reinforces the intensity of the singer's emotions and desire to make things work.
Overall, "Missing" portrays the challenges of maintaining a relationship and the desire to make things work, even when there seems to be a disconnect between partners.
