Where's My Love

SYML, the solo project of Brian Fennell, is known for creating hauntingly beautiful music that often delves into themes of love, loss, and longing. 'Where's My Love' is no exception, with its poignant lyrics and emotive melody that tug at the heartstrings. The song's narrative revolves around the search for a missing love, one that seems to have vanished without a trace, leaving behind a void filled with uncertainty and fear.

The opening lines, 'Cold bones, yeah, that’s my love / She hides away, like a ghost,' immediately set a somber tone, suggesting a love that is both absent and elusive. The metaphor of 'cold bones' conveys a deep sense of loneliness and the chilling realization that the warmth of love is no longer present. The repeated question, 'Does she know that we bleed the same?' speaks to a fundamental human desire for empathy and understanding within a relationship. It's a plea for the loved one to recognize their shared humanity and the pain that comes with separation.

As the song progresses, the lyrics oscillate between hope and despair. The refrain 'Did she run away? Did she run away? I don’t know' captures the confusion and helplessness felt when a loved one disappears. The protagonist clings to the possibility of their return, yet is tormented by not knowing the reason for their absence. The lines 'If you bled, I'll bleed the same / If you’re scared, I'm on my way' show a willingness to share in the loved one's suffering and to provide comfort, reinforcing the depth of the connection they seek to reestablish. 'Where's My Love' is a powerful exploration of the human condition, the fear of abandonment, and the enduring hope for reunion.
