Silverchair's 1999 album Neon Ballroom gave up "Miss You Love" as its third single, and the song is a love song in disguise. Daniel Johns wrote the words and music on his own while wrestling with severe depression, and he wanted something listeners could hear as romantic even as the lyrics boiled with anger. Its real subject, as he explained it, is the inability to connect with anyone, to feel love anywhere outside his own family.
Nick Launay produced and recorded it, Kevin Shirley mixed it, and Robert Woolf sits in on piano. AllMusic's Jason Anderson heard a weepy ballad in the Goo Goo Dolls vein, and it climbed to number 17 in Australia and 43 in New Zealand. In 2000 it surfaced in the Australian film Looking for Alibrandi, though it was left off the soundtrack album.
