John Waite – The Artist

John Charles Waite (born 1952) is an English rock singer and musician. As a solo artist, he has released ten studio albums and is best known for the 1984 hit single “Missing You”, which reached the top ten on the UK singles chart. He was also the lead vocalist for the rock bands the Babys and Bad English.

Missing You – The Song

Missing You is a song co-written and recorded by English musician John Waite. It was released in June 1984 as the lead single from his second album, No Brakes (1984). It reached number one in the US as well as number nine on the UK Singles Chart. “Missing You” was the only record in 1984 to spend only a single week at the top of the Hot 100. The song was nominated for the 1985 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance Male. Waite re-recorded the song with country/bluegrass artist Alison Krauss which appeared on her album A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection, and released it to Country music radio in 2007.  In the verses/bridge, the singer describes how much he misses his ex-lover, while in the chorus, he lies to himself and vehemently denies missing them.

The Heart – The Shape

This record has been crafted into the silhouette of a heart. The heart shape and its meaning has evolved over hundreds of years. Nowadays it means love but before the 13th and 14th centuries it was generally drawn for decorative purposes. People at that time thought of our hearts as books of memory and believed feelings for the beloved were somehow written on your heart.
