|
| |
| Grabada durante las sesiones 2001-2002 demos y regrabada como B-side en el single de Bring Me To life Australia, y fue colocada como bonus track en [[Anywhere But Home]] (el track puedes ser escuchada durante los créditos finales del DVD). Fue lanzado como radio single en Europa y América del Sur.

|
| |
| De acuerdo a [http://exodusevanescence.com Exodus Evanescence], aquí esta la explicación detrás de loshere is the explanation behind the layers of vocals in Missing:
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>Throughout the verses there is a looped background vocal of Amy whispering "can you stop the fire? please.. please.. please.." and "you can't stop the fire" on the LEFT audio channel plus "can you stand to fight her" and "you won't say the words" on the RIGHT audio channel. But on the later version of the song there is only "please... please..." on the LEFT audio channel and all the other lines on the RIGHT audio channel.</blockquote>

|
| |
| === Fallen Outtake ===
| |
| '' <small>'''Left audio channel:'''</small> Please, please, please''<br>
| |
| '' <small>'''Right audio channel:'''</small> Can you stop the fire? Can you stand to fight her? You can't stop the fire. You won't say the words''<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Please, please forgive me<br>
| |
| But I won't be home again<br>
| |
| Maybe someday you'll look up<br>
| |
| And barely conscious you'll say to no one<br>
| |
| Isn't something missing?<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| You won't cry for my absence, I know<br>
| |
| You forgot me long ago<br>
| |
| Am I that unimportant?<br>
| |
| Am I so insignificant?<br>
| |
| Isn't something missing?<br>
| |
| Isn't someone missing me?<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Even though I'm the sacrifice<br>
| |
| You won't try for me, not now<br>
| |
| Though I'd die to know you love me<br>
| |
| I'm all alone<br>
| |
| Isn't someone missing me?<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| '' <small>'''Left audio channel:'''</small> Please, please, please''<br>
| |
| '' <small>'''Right audio channel:'''</small> Can you stop the fire? Can you stand to fight her? You can't stop the fire. You won't say the words''<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Please, please forgive me<br>
| |
| But I won't be home again<br>
| |
| I know what you do to yourself<br>
| |
| I breathe deep and cry out<br>
| |
| Isn't something missing?<br>
| |
| Isn't someone missing me?<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| Even though I'm the sacrifice<br>
| |
| You won't try for me, not now<br>
| |
| Though I'd die to know you love me<br>
| |
| I'm all alone<br>
| |
| Isn't someone missing me?<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| And if I bleed, I'll bleed<br>
| |
| Knowing you don't care<br>
| |
| And if I sleep just to dream of you<br>
| |
| I'll wake without you there<br>
| |
| Isn't something missing?<br>
| |
| Isn't something...<br>
| |
|
| |
| Even though I'm the sacrifice<br>
| |
| You won't try for me, not now<br>
| |
| Though I'd die to know you love me<br>

| I'm all alone<br>
| |
| Isn't something missing me?<br>

| == International Promotional Single ==
| |
|
| |
| With the release of [[Anywhere But Home]], the bonus track, Missing, was released internationally to radio stations for airplay and not released for public sale (though it quickly found its way on eBay). The single had elaborate artwork that made the disc highly collectable. It is rumored that only a few thousand of them exist.
| |
|
| |
| Internationally, two formal instances of the single exist in addition to an Australian and Spanish press release. Both the Euro and Brazilian items (below) were scanned using the exact same equipment and are un-edited:
