'I Miss You' from Colette Kavanagh is a dreamy must-listen

'I Miss You' is the latest music video from Calverstown singer-songwriter Colette Kavanagh, and it's well worth repeated plays, writes Brian Byrne.

A dreamy and romantic work about the vulnerability of letting love into your life and then missing it when you do, the song has a soothing quality that quite likely will hit a lot of the right notes among listeners in that space.

The production quality of the video is a real treat, directed and shot by Shane Serrano of film and video production company Crude, edited by him along with Philip Shanahan.

"I write from my heart and only when I feel a need to write about some particular emotion I'm feeling at that time," Colette says on the grace notes with 'I Miss You'. "Trying to understand life and all that goes with it, especially the feelings of being alone, even when everyone is around."

Colette is originally from Blessington, and grew up in a very musical family where Sunday afternoons were spent singing around her father's piano. An aunt was taught opera singing by the great Ronnie Dunne, and an uncle was in the Cadets Showband with Eileen Reid, so it's not hard to see where Colette's talent came from.

Her musical influences range from Johnny Mathis to Roy Orbison, Julie London to The Carpenters, Johnny Cash to Enya and Nora Jones to James Blunt and more. She has been writing and recording her own material since 2007 and is getting very successful airplay on internet and traditional radio stations on both sides of the Atlantic.

With a little one in Scoil Bhride, Colette is strongly connected to Kilcullen.
