Missing | The xx
Yep…I’m still loving this album…and so much of it has to do with the beats.
Missing begins with this gentle pounding…that’s familiar…and then you hear:
my heart is beating in a different way
This song is so interesting. It’s starts off so slow. It asks these questions in this somber way. But at the point where you feel it makes a statement…the point where it feels the lowest…the point where he says and now there’s no hope for you and me…it shifts.
It gets more intense. It gets stronger. It’s like it becomes more confident although it’s saying the same thing.
But then more questions come. Questions that bring everything to a pause. Questions that bring everything you came to terms with into question. The questions that really matter. The questions that sometimes only matter. Because in the end they are the questions that resonate with your core so strongly that everything else can’t be heard. And they leave you back where you started.
