Song Review: Bernard Shay Gomez – “Miss You”

A Heartfelt Reflection on Disconnection and Self-Rediscovery

With “Miss You”, Bernard Shay Gomez opens a deeply personal chapter in his evolving artistry offering a shimmering pop ballad that balances dreamy melancholy with cinematic uplift. At its core, the track is about longing: for people who feel far away, but also for a version of the self that feels increasingly out of reach.

Built on a delicate interplay of dreamy piano motifs and grooving, pulsating synths, the production creates an emotional landscape that ebbs and flows with quiet intensity. Shay’s warm, vulnerable vocals pull us into a story that unfolds between loneliness and hope, between the ache of the past and the possibility of renewal.

Lyrically, the track is layered and poetic. Lines like

“Sometimes I wonder if I’m just a hum / Buried deep in someone else’s song”

capture the subtle erosion of identity when life starts to feel like a supporting role in someone else’s story. Yet there’s no bitterness here. Instead, the song feels like a gentle reclaiming a way of putting words to emotional burnout, disconnection, and the slow return to oneself.

As the chorus opens with

“If we run to the edge / Maybe we won’t fall down”

we sense not only the fear of collapse, but the daring hope of flight. Shay doesn’t shy away from emotional complexity. He embraces it both musically and lyrically making “Miss You” feel honest, immediate, and achingly relatable.

What makes this even more compelling is Shay’s background: Born in Kolkata, raised across continents, trained in neuroscience, and active in theater he brings a rare depth and duality to his work. His songs are not just personal reflections, but bridges connecting inner struggle with shared experience.

“Miss You” is for anyone who’s ever felt lost in the noise of life, for anyone rebuilding a sense of self one verse at a time. It’s not just about mourning distance it’s about using that ache as a spark for something new.
