Some songs don’t need to shout to be heard. They don’t chase chart placements or viral trends. They simply exist—deep, moving, unforgettable.
“Missing You” by Soul II Soul is one of those rare tracks. A hidden gem from one of the most iconic UK collectives of the ’90s, this song quietly lingers in the background of their discography—but it’s arguably one of their most emotionally potent pieces.
From the moment the beat drops, you’re pulled into a warm, melancholic space. The rhythm is slow and deliberate. The vocals are raw and honest. And the lyrics—few as they are—say everything:
“Though I’m missing you…”
That’s it. That’s the whole mood. Longing, memory, love, loss—delivered with Soul II Soul’s signature blend of soul, simplicity, and sincerity.
This isn’t heartbreak for the radio. It’s heartbreak for the soul.
If you’ve never heard this track before, give yourself a few quiet minutes, throw on some headphones, and press play. Let it sink in. It might just be your new favorite late-night anthem.
Because sometimes, the greatest songs are the ones the world didn’t scream about. | Doug D. Sims
