Vansire - That I Miss You (Lyrics)

"There's a charming discrepancy between the polished production of Vansire's groovy synth-pop track "That I Miss You" and the DIY goofiness of the video that accompanies it. Tight hooks flow like tides beneath lightly modulated vocals as the duo, Josh Augustin and Sam Winemiller, dance in loosely choreographed deadpan across their hometown of Rochester, MN in matching NASA t-shirts. It's an endearing tableau, but the playful tone and summery melodies belie a more thoughtful undercurrent.

Originally inspired by a nonsensical phrase ("like a Lichtenstein," which Augustin latched onto simply for its alliterative qualities), "That I Miss You" evolved into a meditation on the nature of art and commodification. "Any attempt to make art about relationships or love is, to a certain extent, a stylization of a personal experience for an audience," Augustin explained, going on to say that the track is something of a summation of his mental state since the release of their recent LP Angel Youth. "The original intention was light lyrical fare about a college friend of mine who just transferred, but it ended up being more about the nature of art in general."

That said, the song never collapses beneath the weight of its own navel-gazing. By couching those ruminations in lighthearted (if somewhat bittersweet) pop and garnishing it with some self-deprecating dance moves, Vansire strike a balance that feels substantial and easily digestible at the same time. "That I Miss You" is an infectiously catchy and accessible track, but there's plenty to unpack on subsequent listens." - THRDCOAST, Will Shenton, July 17 2018

Headed west now
From the blighted plain
It's kind of gorgeous in a georgic way
Staring outside
Watching every change

I think it's just a type of way to explain
How I miss you
How I hope you're fine
That I've been sad
Tracing Lichtenstein with my eyes closed
On the phone at night
Always bummed out
Cause the world's not right
At this time

At the drive-thru
With the headlights on
And now I'm feeling like I'm Roquentin
In a streetcar
Near Corrine Marchand
I'll go Michel Legrand and set it to song

How I miss you
How I hope you're fine
That I've been sad
Tracing Lichtenstein with my eyes closed
On the phone at night
Always bummed out

Back in New York
In the August sun
Wandering Greenpoint
While the L still runs
And I run back
To a different day
In the meantime
You can dance, you can hit replay
