"I Miss You" is the second single from Blink-182's 2003 "Blink-182" album. It was released in February 2004. In the music video, they play at a haunted mansion. The video was also featured on their 2005 Greatest Hits album.

The song reached #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and peaked at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100. Although "All The Small Things" had more radio airplay, "I Miss You" sold more singles, having been certified platinum after selling over 200,000 copies (RIAA platinum single certification). Also, It was #3 in Argentina with a run of fifteen weeks, [ [http://www.top40argentina.com.ar/2004.htm Top 40 Argentina ] ] and #5 in the United Kingdom.

This song is frequently covered by ex-Blink member Tom DeLonge's band Angels & Airwaves.

Lyrics and production

The song is played on a B Major scale. Travis plays with one brush and one stick and his performance is looped.

The song features references to the 1993 cult film "The Nightmare Before Christmas", with "We can live like Jack and Sally" and "We'll have Halloween on Christmas". Travis Barker says that the line was directed towards his then girlfriend, Shanna Moakler [ [http://www.punkdisasters.com/?side=blink_discography_blink182_meanings PunkDisasters.com - The Stage is Set ] ] . The two would have a "Nightmare Before Christmas" themed wedding on October 30, 2004. [ http://www.whosdatedwho.com/when/?year=2004&type=23 Travis Barker's wedding date, retrieved (9/25/2008)]

Music video

The video directed by Jonas Åkerlund was shot in a house, and the band members were made to wear make-up to give a ghostly feel. It also features Mark Hoppus playing a double bass, inspired by Phil Thornalley of The Cure's use of one in the video for the band's 1983 single "The Lovecats". In the CDs booklet, Delonge states::"I'm a really big Cure fan and one day, I was listening to their song " [The] Lovecats", and I loved the idea of using a stand-up bass guitar and jazz brushes. So what we ended up doing was writing a song with all acoustic."As a result of this, Mark had to use superglue on his fingertips as his skin was shredding off due to the number of takes for the video. In the album notes he states that the song was written 'all acoustic' and there is footage of him playing an acoustic bass in the 'Cheetah' videos from when they were recording the album.
