About The Song
Margo – “I Still Miss Someone”: A Tender, Timeless Ballad of Love and Longing
With her trademark emotional depth and gentle sincerity, Margo O’Donnell delivers a deeply moving rendition of the classic song “I Still Miss Someone.” Originally penned by Johnny Cash and Roy Cash Jr., this melancholic ballad has been interpreted by many over the years — but in Margo’s hands, it becomes a soft, sorrowful whisper from the heart, steeped in Irish sentimentality and grace.
From the very first lines, Margo’s voice conveys a quiet ache — not dramatic, but deeply human. Her interpretation captures the essence of the song: the enduring presence of someone who is gone, and the quiet, everyday moments that bring their memory rushing back.
“At my door the leaves are falling / A cold wild wind has come…
Sweethearts walk by together / And I still miss someone…”
There’s no overproduction in this version — just a gentle guitar, perhaps a touch of soft piano or strings, and Margo’s heartfelt vocals, which glide through the melody like a breeze through autumn leaves. Her delivery is restrained yet powerful, drawing out the deep longing and wistful reflection that make this song resonate across generations.
For those who’ve lost someone — whether to distance, time, or the final goodbye — Margo’s version of “I Still Miss Someone” offers both comfort and companionship. She doesn’t just sing about missing someone — she sings with those who miss someone. It’s a quiet solidarity, a musical embrace.
Listeners familiar with Margo’s vast catalogue of traditional Irish and country songs will recognize the way she blends storytelling with emotional truth. This rendition is no exception — a masterclass in how less can be more, and how honesty in performance touches the soul.
Whether you’re playing it alone on a reflective evening or sharing it with someone who understands, “I Still Miss Someone” by Margo is a beautiful reminder that love, even when it’s gone from sight, leaves a light that never truly fades.
Let this song speak softly to your heart — and remember, you’re not alone in remembering.
