James Arthur warms our hearts with his new single “Quite miss home”.
The song serves as the latest single from his third studio album “You”, which was released last month.
The track, produced by Ryan Daly & busbee, has a beautiful and emotional music video shot in London and Ireland.
In the clip, directed by Stevie Russell (Kodaline, Dean Lewis), we can see James sitting down at the piano with the intent to tell a story.
About it, the 31 year old artist said: “This song is inspired by being away from home a lot and the little nuances that make home what it is to me and other people I observe in my life. My sister’s fiancé works away a lot of the year and she misses him like crazy! However her OCD for cleaning still makes sure he takes his shoes off at the door, that’s when he knows he’s home”.
“Quite miss home” is the seventh single taken from “You” after “Naked“, “Empty space“, “Falling like the stars“, “Treehouse”, “Finally feel good” and the title track “You”.
Lyrics:
I’m in the kitchen while you smoke outside
You’re careful not to let the smoke inside
I always tell you it’s poison
But I know it helps you take the edge off the day
We get a drink before it’s closing time
The one on high street with the blinking sign
All of these memories feel poignant
I won’t be there to see the snow melt away
Oh, yeah I’ve been gone on business
I’ve gotta make some money
I really feel the distance
And I quite miss home
And I miss you telling me
To leave my shoes at the door
‘Cos you just swept the floor and the dirt drives you crazy
Yeah I quite miss home
‘Cos it feels like poetry
When the rain falls down on the window
While you’re in my arms and we’re watching the TV
Yeah I quite miss home
Yeah I quite miss home
I smell you cooking from the living room
And then I tell you that I love your food
I know it doesn’t come easy
But you know it reminds me where I’m from
Oh, I’m in another city
I got nobody with me
And it just hit me
That I quite miss home
And I miss you telling me
To leave my shoes at the door
‘Cos you just swept the floor and the dirt drives you crazy
Yeah I quite miss home
‘Cos it feels like poetry
And the rain falls down on the window
While you’re in my arms and we’re watching the TV
Yeah I quite miss home
Yeah I quite miss home
And I quite miss home
Yeah I missed you telling me
To leave my shoes at the door
‘Cos you just swept the floor and the dirt drives you crazy
Oh I just miss home
‘Cos it feels like poetry
As the rain falls down on the window
While you’re in my arms and we’re watching the TV
Oh I miss home, yeah I quite miss home
Oh I miss home, yeah I quite miss home
