"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. [1]
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, although 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.
The song is played on a B Major scale.
The song also 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"
This song is frequently covered by Ex-Blink member Tom Delonge's band Angels And Airwaves. Tom has reportedly cried during playings of this song.
