Stories Behind the Songs: “Something’s Missing”
I began writing “Something’s Missing” in August 2005 but didn’t finish it until October. On recording the demo version I accidentally did a false ending, which John liked and recommended it be duplicated in the finished recording. The slightly strange echo guitar part appeared out of nowhere when I was trying to come up with a second guitar line.
When it came time for Katie to record her vocals for this song, John had not yet recorded his, so I laid down temporary vocals so she’d have something to sing with.
“Something’s Missing” was another of the Transposition songs on the set list when put together a short-lived performing version of Chameleon Red in 2008.
