Revision as of 20:16, 7 June 2007
General Information
Written by A. Lee, B. Moody, and D. Hodges
Recorded during the 2001-2002 demos and revamped as a B-side on the Australian Bring Me To Life Commercial Single and later released as a bonus track on the CD portion of Anywhere But Home (the track can also be heard during the ending credits of the live performance). Has been internationally released as a radio single in Europe and South America.
According to Exodus Evanescence, here is the explanation behind the layers of vocals in Missing:
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.

Lyrics
Fallen Outtake
Left audio channel: Please, please, please
Right audio channel: Can you stop the fire? Can you stand to fight her? You can't stop the fire. You won't say the words
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And barely conscious you'll say to no one
Isn't something missing?
You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
Left audio channel: Please, please, please
Right audio channel: Can you stop the fire? Can you stand to fight her? You can't stop the fire. You won't say the words
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed
Knowing you don't care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing me?
Isn't someone missing me?
Left audio channel: Please, please, please
Right audio channel: Can you stop the fire? Can you stand to fight her? You can't stop the fire. You won't say the words
Demo Version
Left audio channel: Can you stop the fire? You can't stop the fire
Right audio channel: Can you stand to fight her? You won't say the words
Both audio channels: Please, please, please [1]
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And barely conscious you'll say to no one
Isn't something missing?
You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You wont try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You wont try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?
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 instances of the single exist. Both items (below) were scanned using the exact same equipment and are un-edited:
European Version
Status: Out of Print
Label: Wind-Up/Epic
Cat.no: SAMPCS 14591 1
This version features a photo of the band (By Pamela Littky) in the insert and very little text on the spine.
Front Cover (HQ)
Back Artwork/Disc (HQ)
Brazilian Version
Status: Out of Print
Label: Sony Music Group/Epic
Cat.no: 2 900351
This version features abridged lyrics in english and Portuguese track information on the insert. The front cover image is slightly darker and zoomed smaller than on the European version. The words "Música inédita" also appear in the lower right corner.
