When Did Your Heart Go Missing? by Rooney

Main reason why I try to gamble on unfamiliar artists is because I just love the feeling of being surprised when encountering good catchy songs such as this. I have a copy of Rooney's first album but it never really grew on me and it didn't have any song that I would consider as somewhat significant (at least in this life of mine)

But lo and behold, I grabbed a copy of Paste Magazine from Bookstore for 130 pesos (it's quite hefty as they can go for as low as 50 pesos) and had a chance of listening to this song.

It has somewhat of an 80's feel (where they using synths?!?). I have an allegiance with this kind of love songs, wherein it's somewhat melancholic, not sad. It doesn't have the feeling of surrender rather confidence that everything after this song is rocked out.

Solid bass line, steady drum parts, great danceable funky guitar riff and a story to tell that's the recipe.

Love don't come so easily
This doesn't have to end in tragedy
I have you and you have me
We're one in a million
Why can't you see?

I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing, yeah?

I meant every word I said
I never was lying when we tucked in bed
I'm retracing every step in my head
What did I miss back then?
I was so, so misled

I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?

I don't understand
How could you forget what we had,
It's so wrong

I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?

Yeah!

Things were so good
We had a little dream
A little dream together
Buy a house, settle down, do our thing
But you disappeared on me
And your heart, your heart went missin'
I don't know how to find it
I don't know where it is
I don't know where your heart went
It was here just the other day
Now it's gone
I'm gonna call the police
Call the investigator, the heart investigator
