Catie Offerman has unveiled her latest creation, “Sound Of Missing You.” Penned collaboratively with Justin Ebach and Josh Thompson, the song transcends genres, weaving a narrative of lonesome honky-tonk vibes that resonate with listeners on a profound level.
Offerman, a native of Texas, draws inspiration from her roots, infusing the track with the raw emotions and memories associated with the Lone Star State’s iconic dancehalls. “Sound Of Missing You” encapsulates the bittersweet essence of honky-tonk, capturing not only the joyous moments but also the melancholy that often accompanies them.
In a statement, Offerman shared her insights into the genesis of the song. She reminisced about the day of its creation, recounting a conversation with co-writer Justin Ebach. “I was transported back to every dancehall in Texas, reflecting on every shattered romance,” Offerman revealed. The poignant lyrics and soul-stirring melody underscore the authenticity of her musical journey.
The process of Sound Of Missing You
The unique inspiration behind the song emerged from a conversation with Ebach, who found the idea while observing his dog, Gnocchi. According to Offerman, Justin’s wife, Jeanine, remarked that Gnocchi’s whining was akin to the sound of missing someone—a sentiment that instantly resonated and evolved into the song’s captivating title.
Reflecting on the collaborative process, Offerman expressed gratitude for being part of the creative session. “I remember distinctly the day we wrote it and Justin telling me he had this idea inspired by his dog, Gnocchi. His dog would whine for him and his wife, Jeanine, said ‘that’s the sound of him missing you,’ which of course is an amazing song title! I’m so grateful I was on the writing calendar that day!”
