Miss You Much (Chris Jonat)

I miss you much, but I don't regret
I sense your touch, that hasn't left me yet
You know a mournful ending don't ruin a precious start
A painful parting don't mean a bitter heart

And gracious your beauty
Goodness your soul

Everything's changed, and you're not here
But you keep climbing into my dreams somehow
Your voice is strange, but the words are clear
You're saying, “look at me now, look at me now, look at me now, look at me now”
And I do... I look at you

Well I blame you, cause you didn't try
I don't know if that's true, but I'm sure it aint a lie
Cause there was caution to consider, a consequence for haste
Now there's sorrow in the morning, the evening feels like waste

Still gracious your beauty
And goodness your soul

I remember it was cold outside
But sunny, clear, the day you died
I had a feeling, I think, or do I just have it now
That it was all over, that I was done somehow

And gracious was your beauty
God have mercy on your soul

You're saying “love me now, love me now, love me now, love me now”
And I do... I do love you





Instrumental sections feature the traditional tune “Dusty Miller”

Overall Meaning

The Clumsy Lovers’ song “Miss You Much” is a poignant reflection on the aftermath of a lost love. The opening lines of “I miss you much, but I don’t regret” set the tone for the song, as the singer grapples with the complex emotions that arise after a relationship ends. It’s a tale of heartbreak and self-examination, as the singer acknowledges that they “blame you” for not trying, but also realizes that they may have played a role in the relationship’s demise as well.


Further on, we see that even though the person is no longer with the singer in the physical sense, their presence is still felt in a deeply emotional way. The lines “Everything's changed, and you're not here/But you keep climbing into my dreams somehow” speak to the continuing impact that a lost love can have on a person’s life. Additionally, the line “Your voice is strange, but the words are clear/You're saying, ‘look at me now, look at me now, look at me now, look at me now’” suggests that the person may have changed or evolved in some way after the relationship ended, and that the singer is struggling to come to terms with this new reality.


Ultimately, “Miss You Much” is a reminder that even though relationships may end, the memories and feelings associated with them can linger long after the fact. It’s a powerful message that anyone who has experienced heartbreak can relate to.

I love the energy of this music. The driving rhythm and speed make me almost jumpy. This is real feel-good music.

Mira algo nuevo que he aprendido, no sabía que hubiera "gaita" en Mallorca. No estaría mal que Carlos hiciese un próximo disco dedicado a las músicas tradicionales del Mediterráneo. Total el Atlántico ya casi lo habrá gastado xd.

Yeah, you would never be able to stop blowing for more than it takes to take another breath on the Great Highland Pipes. Unless it is the end of the performance.

Bill Hunter

Would have loved to have seen this live. Come and tour the UK.

Fantastic! For all you bagpipers out there, does it seem to you that Galician bagpipers have alot more fun playing than Great Highland pipers? I play the big pipes, but we don't get to jump around like that and have fun.

Ronen Braverman

A medley of Irish tunes, what can be more beautiful then this???

Carlos Núñez is a galician (NW of Spain) piper. He plays galician bagpipes, flutes and whistles. He never plays highland bagpipes.
