This is VERY cool but not as cool as hearing the other part of your voice. Have you heard/listened to Richard Clapton? he's an Australian rocker who spent a lot of time in Berlin in the 70s. His gentler stuff is very similar vocally....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC40QqfcLfM
Your guitar playing is/was perfect for the track - and a nice bit of "woman tone" too.
Cool, lovely, emotive and a great testament to your love. Hi Ray, first of all thanks a lot for your kind words on the tune. Richard Clapton? Never heard of him before. Which turned out to be a pity because there wasn't one song among those I listened to after your recommendation that didn't appeal to me a lot. Can't really judge wether or not our voices have anything in common, but if that was so, that's really nothing I would complain about  Wishing you Merry Christmas and all the best for 2020, Stefan PS: After I had seen a couple of his videos I really had to make sure that my wigs collection was still complete...

Wonderful heartfelt lyrics, nice vocal, love your guitar work. Great song!
All the best to you and Maha for the holiday season, and looking forward to hearing what you come up with in 2020!
Hello Dave, thanks a lot for your warm comment - I always appreciate your judgement a lot, especially as I know that you're such a good guitarist. Wishing you and your loved ones very Happy Holidays and a flawless 2020 with a lot of creativity. Best regards, Stefan

Excellent listen.
Also wishing you the best in the New Year.

Hi Stefan,
This is a very nice, emotional sung Blues. You let me hear it some days before. Already then I liked it mutch, I only told you to shorten it with 2 minutes. You told me you couldn't, because you didn't know what to cut. And I was wrong, I can see. This story can't be shortened. Everything is in it's place. And the emotion is very well expressed by your vocals.
I think it won't be a bad idea if you do some more Bluessongs the coming year. As long as there is no more 'blues' in your life. At least I surely hope that will happen...
Hans Thank you so much, Hans, for your kind comment. And taking the time to stand the whole tune. Well, more blues songs ... I never start with the idea that I am going to write a certain kind of song. Unlike you I nearly always start with the lyrics (or at least some ideas on what the lyrics should be about) and in the course of completing them I get the idea to what kind of music I'd like to sing the lyrics along. On the other hand: You know we got plenty of reasons these days to moan another blues tune... ;-))) All the very best en tot straks, vriend, Stefan

Stefan,
Firstly this shows you are an excellent vocalist in this genre-timing and expression plus!
The lyrics have some clever/fun metaphors to keep the affection real... and to keep us wondering where the list of miss you`s will go next!
The guitar solos are as sweet as the song`s inspiration.
Robert
Thank you very much, Robert, I am really glad that you enjoyed the listen. Thanks for all the compliments, too. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a most happy New Year., Stefan

Love the guitar solo! The lyrics speak to the hearts of us who adore our wives. Such raw, honest emotion. Your singing is superb as always. Great work, Stefan! Oh boy, Scott - this really makes me blush, thank you so much. Yes, adoring - that's the appropriate term - glad that we're sharing that feeling. Happy Holidays and all the best to you and your adorable wife. Take care, Stefan

Hi Stefan and Maha, This is an exceptional song -- music, lyrics, arrangement, performance, mix. Everything about this is first class listening, first class entertainment and the whole thing shines brilliantly with tons of heavy-duty musical competence everywhere.  Bernhard's organ, Stefan's guitar work, BIAB's bits and pieces and Maha's mix all made me so glad that I know about this forum! I'd hate to miss out on something this brilliant! The 7 minutes just flew by! May 2020 bring lots of good things your way, Noel

Stephan, I wouldn't care if this tune was 20 minutes long! Sometimes it takes a while to properly express yourself! Great vocal with real feeling in it! Love the band you have assembled here! Clapton never asked for permission to extend a solo and you shouldn't either! Great tune! Thanks, Torrey Dear Torrey, you know how much I admire your songwriting and general musical abilities, so your comment has always a very special meaning to me. And this one is, again, so very kind - I am happy to read that you liked the tune. And had the patience to listen to the whole song. Thank you so much !!! Wishing you and yours Merry Christmas and a healthy, successful and Happy New Year. All the best, Stefan

Dani Dear Dani, thank you very much for yoor kind words. Since I wasn't a Forum member before 2018 I didn't know your wonderful "Widower's Blues', but I could easily find it and, yes, I definitely can relate to this heartfelt song. It must be the saddest thing to lose one's lived one. Wishing you Happy Holidays and all the best for 2020, Stefan

Thanks Hi beatmaster, thanks for your kind comment. As to the length: I always try to keep my stuff shorter than In-a-gada-da-vida, which took the complete side of an LP then ;-))). Merry Christmas and all the best, Stefan

Whenever I read 'Australia' these days those terrible wild fires which they report about over here in every news show, come to my mind. I do hope that you're not personally affected, but I know that so many of your country-fellowmen are. So my best wishes go to you, yours and all those: Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy 2020. Thanks again and take care, Stefan

This is an outstanding production by any measure we can think of.
And it's all built on love and talent.
The two of us have a long relationship that makes
this song even more special.
As we've oft said soul makes a song for us irrespective of the genre.
And this production just oozes soul and sincerity...particularly with
the vocal and guitar performance. And, man, what a write!
Your use of the drums, the back beat guitar and the horns all sounded excellent
making for a stellar band.
Kudos to Maha for a great mix and how cool to have a friend onboard
for the organ part!
Superb.
Best to y'all for the holidays and new year!
J&B

Stefan... The greatest gift us human beings were ever given, aside from the gift of life -- of living -- is our hearts, our alternately joyful, troubled, ecstatic, despairing, easily broken but endlessly repairable hearts, don't you agree? And, oh, sir, have you ever exposed yours to the listeners on this User's forum. If your song, Would I Miss You, could be judged 'too personal' for play on the forum, then it could only mean that none of us had ever experienced loving feelings as deeply as you have experienced your unimpeachable, unapologetic love for your wife, Ms. Maha. If Bobby 'Blue' Bland were alive today, I'm sure he'd want to 'cover' this lovely, intimate, sincere and bluesy torch song. I had no idea that you could play an electric guitar so soulfully. Listening to it was like having a front row seat in the interior space you call your soul. You coaxed that gee-tar into telling us what even your committed, imaginative, and sensitive lyrics couldn't express. What a change of venue this is! Kind of inevitable, actually, for a stone-serious, blues-rockin' musician such as yourself. Where there's fire, there's also water to cool down its heat so that it becomes a flickering warmth of the kind that makes you want to 'cozy up' to it with someone who you couldn't possibly live without. And now, I know there's as much to appreciate about you as a person as there is to revel about in your musicanship. The rest of the crew -- Mr. Bernhard ‘Ruppi’ Ruppersberg on the organ, and Ms. Maha in the studio refining the finished production -- you can take your bows, too, for helping to bring Stefan's heart so close to our view. Ms. Maha, you better keep this guy, 'cuz I think he's got even more to show and tell you about how he feels about...you  . LOREN

Deat Loren,
none of my friends would ever claim that they've ever
seen me completely speechless - to the contrary: IÄm afraid some of them have wished every now and then that I might shut up.
But this time I'm really running out of words which is the reason that it took a couple of days before I could reply to your wonderful comment.
I'm not far from turning 70 and I've made a lot of music in my life, music of different kinds and under different circumstances and, of course, I have got all kinds of feedback (not always as positive as I would have liked though...).
But I think I've never had such a wonderful reaction to a song of mine in all those years, so wonderful that I think that just saying 'Thank you' might not be enough. But what else could I say? I'm overwhelmed, flattered, excited and, yes, a bit proud, too, because I appreciate your opinion so much (as everybody on this forum does, I think!).
So thanks a lot, Loren, for the treat you made the new year begin with for Maha and me.
All the best to you,
Stefan

I'm still finding my way around here.
Glad I found you doing this great Blues song.
Great song structure, beautiful lyrics, well performed.
Your vocals remind me of somebody, I'm searching my my mind as to who it is.
It will come to me eventually but one thing for sure.........it's somebody good!
Enjoyed that!
