A Capella (Something's Missing)
Brandy · Human [2008]
Clap!
I'm feeling such a vacancy, I don't feel whole (oh, oh)
Wish I can put my finger on it but I don't know what it is
I looked in every place I could see
Trying to find the missing part of me
I can't explain this feeling (feeling)
Feels like I'm on a long journey going in circles
And I ain't even going nowhere
I'm lost in the middle of nowhere
Something is missing
Can't somebody help me?
Something is missing
I'm missing a part of me
Something is missing
Show me what it is
Show me what's missing
Missing
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Boom, clap! (x4)
Clap!
I'm in a dark room in a bad position
I'm looking for the light to restore my vision (vision)
'Cause I'm walking blind, I keep falling down, I can't find my way
I can't explain this feeling
Feels like I'm on a long journey going in circles
And I ain't even going nowhere
I'm lost in the middle of nowhere
Something is missing
Can't somebody help me?
Something is missing
I'm missing a part of me
Something is missing
Show me what it is
Show me what's missing
Missing
Feels like I'm leaving something behind
Can't think straight, something's on my mind
Can't pay attention, 'cause I'm all so broke
Can't find the words, 'cause they all been spoke
The answer's gonna be right in my face (oh, oh)
What I gotta do to fill this empty space? Ohh
Feels like I'm on a long journey going in circles (circles)
And I ain't even going nowhere
I'm lost in the middle of nowhere
Something is missing
Can't somebody help me?
Something is missing
I'm missing a part of me
Something is missing (oh)
Show me what it is
Show me what it is
Feels like I'm on a long journey going in circles
And I ain't even going nowhere
I'm lost in the middle of nowhere
Something is missing
Can't somebody help me?
Something is missing
I'm missing a part of me
Something is missing
Show me what it is
Show me what's missing
A Capella (Something's Missing)
Brandy's 2008 album Human marked a significant shift in her vocal approach, blending R&B with experimental production techniques. A Capella (Something's Missing) stands out within this collection as a showcase of her raw vocal power, stripping away instrumental layers to highlight her signature melisma and emotional delivery. The track reflects the introspective mood of the Human era, where Brandy explored themes of vulnerability and authenticity through minimalist arrangements. As part of a discography that spans decades of R&B innovation, this recording demonstrates her ability to command attention through voice alone. The song fits alongside other notable works from the period, reinforcing her reputation for technical precision and soulful expression without relying on complex backing tracks.
