        Silverchair were an Australian rock band, which formed in 1992 as Innocent Criminals in Newcastle, New South Wales, with Ben Gillies on drums, Daniel Johns on vocals and guitars, and Chris Joannou on bass guitar. The group got their big break in mid-1994 when they won a national demo competition conducted by SBS TV show Nomad and ABC radio station, Triple J. The band was signed by Murmur, and were successful in Australia and internationally. Silverchair have sold over six million albums worldwide.

         Silverchair won more ARIA Music Awards than any other artist in history with 21 wins from 49 nominations. They also received six APRA Awards, with Johns winning three songwriting awards in 2008. All five of their studio albums debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart: Frogstomp(1995), Freak Show(1997), Neon Ballroom(1999), Diorama (2002), and Young Modern (2007). Three singles reached number-one on the related ARIA Singles Chart: "Tomorrow" (1994), "Freak" (1997), and "Straight Lines" (2007).

       Silverchair's alternative rock sound evolved throughout their career, differing styles on specific albums growing more ambitious over the years, from grunge on their debut to more recent work displaying orchestral and art rock influences. The songwriting and singing of Johns had evolved steadily while the band had developed an increased element of complexity.

         In 2003, following the release of Diorama, the band announced a hiatus, during which time members recorded with side projects the Dissociatives, the Mess Hall, and Tambalane. Silverchair reunited at the 2005 Wave Aid concerts. In 2007, they released their fifth album, Young Modern, and played the Across the Great Divide tour with contemporaries Powderfinger. In May 2011, Silverchair announced an indefinite hiatus.

          "Miss You Love" is a song by the Australian rock band Silverchair. It was released as the third single from their 1999 album Neon Ballroom. AllMusic critic Jason Anderson called the song a weepy ballad reminiscent of Goo Goo Dolls.

Millionaire say

Got a big shot deal

And thrown it all away, but

But I'm not too sure

How I'm supposed to feel

Or what I'm supposed to say, but

 

I'm not, not sure, not too sure how it feels

To handle every day

And I miss you, love

 

Make room for the pray

'Cause I'm coming in

With what I wanna say, but

It's gonna hurt

And I love the pain

A breeding ground for hate, but

 

I'm not, not sure, not too sure how it feels

To handle everyday

Like the one that just passed

In the crowds of all the people

 

Remember today

I've no respect for you

And I miss you love

And I miss you love

 

I love the way you love

But I hate the way

I'm supposed to love you back and

It's just a fad

Part of the, teen, teenage angst brigade

 

I'm not, not sure, not too sure how it feels

To handle everyday

Like the one that just past

In the crowds of all the people

 

Remember today

I've no respect for you

And I miss you love

And I miss you love

 

Remember today

I've no respect for you

And I miss you love

And I miss you

 

I love the way you love

But I hate the way

I'm supposed to love you back.
