Randy Newman - 03 I Miss You (Jazz Open 06)

[watro1]

The moment anyone here can pour their guts out into a song and be able to compose something, then sing it in front of sold out crowds and make a brilliant career out of it...then you can try at a 'non specific' and useless comment. Maybe and only then will it carry any weight, although even then you'd just come off looking jealous.

[rayzbom68]

does anybody know where to find out how to play this song on the piano?

[johndecicco]

Was the piano tuned downward for this performance? It sounds it.

[jbfanthx138]

What a great song.

[tayloreh]

I always thought when he said 'before I quit', he was talking about music, especially considering 'I'm Dead (But I Don't Know It)' from that album, but I think its about quitting on the ex-wife he's singing to, which is also unfortunate of course.

[Lumpalo12]

Imiss my big bro Rodney Kurz . R.I.P love Kenny.

[Salhyrium]

1:55 Holy f*ck do you hear ambulance signal at the background? It's a coincidence, but with lyrics "I miss you" it's very moving...

[Saintdonnaface]

I am always speechless when I hear this song! I love you Randy!

[neiloracleob]

Good song! Try also Jasper Steverlincks' version... He has an amazing voice! So beautiful

[movezoo]

1 person has never been missed by anyone

[ruiner06]

Me and my girlfriend of 3 months just broke up, this song is getting to me like crazy.

[Whiter00m]

This guy gets to me like noooo other.

[seedogreed]

My only one, I gave my life, but with failures too, no one is without em, I will love you

[bonniekilty]

Beautiful goosebumps. Thank you Randy. I love you. x

[Stollmw]

How does an artist who loathes composing a love song, compose one honest love song before he ends his career? Here you go. The verse containing "'I'd sell my soul and your souls for a song " is Newman taking a jab at himself.

[MattJZ]

the fucking master

[cochiseontherun]

Ich haue jetzt mal einige Randy Newman-songs raus, das muss jetzt sein. Egal was ihr denkt! HA!

[Royos2]

This is his most beautiful song....just wonderful

[ProductionsfromJJ]

I like it.... ' I'm sorry, but i do...  '

[nientje81]

This is one of the most amazing songs ever. It's so real...I can feel his love and pain for his ex-wife. The lyrics are funny too in a way: 'It's a little late, twenty years or so.'

[jeremybiggs]

wow. i promised myself i wouldnt cry. go randy!!

[peterkohlmetzmoller]

seems like he hears the siren at 2.30 - and the plays the fourth-interval... great little detail!

[doowopsounds]

who is hearing who? maybe the siren was ordered right to this place and it fits!!!! i like those details, good ear man!!! btw what a great song, randy is such a terrific songwriter, love him!!!

[peterkohlmetzmoller]

@doowopsounds - yeah, he is a fantastic guy!

[lukassnakeman]

my favorite thing by him was "I love L.A."

[georiakkk]

adeus pollyn amazing jazz song!!!!!! CHECK IT OUT

[Breahun]

Onhuur...

[forwodians]

It is true

[EEPEEYEEP]

Doesn't anybody here, all the people who think this song is so beautiful, notice that he sings "I'd sell my soul and your souls for a song / So I'll pour my heart out." Does that not smack of cynicism?

Has everyone forgotten that Newman is a satirist, first and foremost?

[TLHobo]

it is more self-reflecting on the speaker, seems an over all apologetic song.

[pianonoten]

yes, but it's more. Good music.

[PeterZeeke]

@TLHobo

nah, its about a writer writing a oversentimental song that will will sell in bucket loads

"I'd sell my soul and your soul for a song"

great song, but I think Randy is still writing from a characters point of view

[gordieandchris]

Randy Newman is my god

[evaboon1980]

This one always gets me in tears, just love Randy, my mom always played his songs when I was a child

[ZiggyStardust35]

He's so cute when he plays hehe!

[judje1977]

jasper stevelinck sings this song also. But i like that version more.

[qc43]

Such an emotional song from a musical genius.

[jon1carlo]

It's hard to believe that there was a time that music could be emotional without being "emo." Sigh. I think that's called "having soul" as opposed to "getting wasted and whining."

[Reesew91]

he said first wife when I was married to my second

[goshou]

When I saw him in concert a year or so ago, he introduced this song as, "This is a love song I wrote for my second wife while I was with my third." Really funny, but it's a sad, touching song.

[goshou]

Oh, say, now I'm watching these in order it turns out that he does say that, only in the last video and I increased the numbers by one... but I could have sworn it was second and third when I saw him....

[NovaPlanet]

Isn't Randy just amazing!

I'm also a lucky owner of this complete concert. ;)

[Hoboscouts]

[NovaPlanet]
