Vermilion-based singer-songwriter Adrienne Levay returns with a tender offering in her folk-pop single โDo You Miss Me?โ which captures the fragile space between friendship and something deeper. Known for her honest storytelling, Levay leans into vulnerability here and draws from lived experience to reflect on the intimacy, hesitation, and the silence between two people who might want more.
โDo You Miss Me?โ opens softly with Levay singing warmly in her thick, emotive voice, tinged with uncertainty. Soft melodies swirl about before the drums drop and pulse steadily. It builds gradually into a subtle fullness that lets us sit with the questions instead of chasing the answers. Toward the end, a male voice joins hers on the chorus, with a soulful counterpoint that softens the solitude and gives it company with the soulfulness and the desired cathartic unity, imagined through music.
She sings, โI like it when you say my name, I love to make you laugh. Tomorrow Iโll be leavinโ, pour another glass,โ hinting at the fleeting moments that push for possibility amidst small gestures that feel bigger in hindsight. She keeps asking, โDo you miss me when Iโm gone? Is it different from now on?โ emphasizing that the space for uncertainty has emboldened alongside their enlarging physical distance. And when she sings, โYou can bring a horse to water, but you canโt make them drink,โ it conveys her wisdom and emotional maturity, showing that she knows that desire canโt force reciprocation.
โDo You Miss Me?โ encapsulates the tension amidst becoming lovers in its short timeframe. In doing so, Levay creates something tender and universally resonant.
