Today, British Blues Award winner Dani Wilde releases a new single, “I Miss The World.” Featuring her brother, celebrated blues harp player Will Wilde, the video finds the two performing in the studio.
Amid bleak newspaper headlines, there are endless summers, blue skies, and green grass as far as the eye can see conjured by the expressive harmonica and her signature blues-meets-gospel vocals in this original composition. The nostalgic lyrics recall life before the internet, and a time when you could let your kids play outside with the neighborhood kids until sundown with nary a care in the world.
It’s a response to all the scary stuff going on in the world right now, especially the war in Ukraine. It’s looking back and wanting to give my two young children, and all of the world’s children, the safe childhood I was lucky enough to experience.
