Stylisticly, The Feeling have a debt of gratitude to the 70s, particularly bands such as 10cc, Supertramp, Pilot, Buggles, Queen, Stackridge, and other "progressive pop" acts. They are not averse to wearing their heart on their sleeve at gigs, playing covers of tunes by their favourite artists (such as 'Video Killed The Radio Star' by Buggles).
The Feeling have also followed the 'progressive' tradition of the concept album, with Twelve Stops and Home being a concept album about lost and unrequited love. The album starts with a relationship having just broken up, then follows through with the various emotions of the protagonist from hopeless dreamer to turning to drink for comfort, and finally slumping home.
Miss You
The Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you deny it
I was the only one for you
Everyone knows it
'cause we couldn't hide it
Nobody else got close its true
My love was stronger then you think
Well, I hope you know that I miss you
And I wonder where you've been
And I wonder who you've seen
And I hope that he's a friend
Do I miss you? (yeah)
Do I miss you? (yeah)
And I wonder where you been
And I hope you're with a friend
Everyone knows it
So don't you deny it
We had it all made down for two
Everyone knows it
'cause we couldn't hide it
I was the sea and the sky for you
All of a sudden the wind just changed direction
That big black cloud came rolling in
Well, I hope you know that I miss you
And I wonder where you've been
And I wonder who you've seen
And I hope that he's a friend
Do I miss you? (yeah)
Do I miss you? (yeah) Yes I do
And I wonder who you've seen
And I hope that he's a friend
The Feeling's song "Miss You" is a heartfelt declaration of love and longing for someone who has left. The lyrics speak of a love that was so strong that nobody else could come close to it, yet despite this, something happened that caused the relationship to fall apart. The verses seem to confront the person who left, with lines such as "Everyone knows it" and "Don't you deny it," suggesting that everyone around them knew the strength of their love.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more introspective, with the singer questioning whether they truly miss their former partner or if it's simply a feeling of loneliness. The chorus repeats the title phrase, "Well, I hope you know that I miss you," while adding a note of uncertainty with the follow-up lines, "And I wonder where you've been / And I wonder who you've seen / And I hope that he's a friend." The final verse brings a melancholic feeling to the song, with the imagery of a storm brewing and the singer expressing their unshakeable desire for their loved one to return.
Overall, "Miss You" is an emotional and relatable song that explores the complexities of modern relationships and the pain of lost love.

Everyone knows it
Our love was no secret, it was obvious to everyone
Can you deny it
It's impossible for you to pretend that our love didn't happen
I was the only one for you
Out of everyone in the world, I was the only one you truly loved
'cause we couldn't hide it
We couldn't hide the fact that we were in love
Nobody else got close its true
No one else had the connection that we shared
My love was stronger then you think
My love for you was stronger than you realized
Much stronger now I've had a dream
I have come to realize just how strong my love is for you
Well, I hope you know that I miss you
I want you to know that I'm still thinking of you and longing for you
And I wonder where you've been
I'm curious about your whereabouts and what you've been up to

So don't you deny it
There's no point in pretending that our love didn't exist
We had it all made down for two
Our love was perfect, and it was meant to be just the two of us
I was the sea and the sky for you
I was everything to you, like the vastness of the sea and the infinite expanse of the sky
All of a sudden the wind just changed direction
Something happened unexpectedly and our situation took a turn for the worse
That big black cloud came rolling in
Our happiness was overshadowed by a dark and ominous presence
Do I miss you? (yeah) Yes I do
I miss you more than words can express
