Adult Leisure - Kiss Me Like You Miss Her
“Kiss Me Like You Miss Her” turns frustration into a soaring rush — the kind of song that makes you feel young, hopeful, and fully alive for three glorious minutes.
When was the last time a new song made me feel this excited? Adult Leisure's “Kiss Me Like You Miss Her” did exactly that. The track instantly transported me back to younger days when everything still seemed wide open. There’s a touch of Simple Minds in the sweep, a flash of U2 at their most anthemic, yet the sound is fully present-day — confident, expansive, and utterly exhilarating. Adult Leisure, the Bristol band behind it, deliver the kind of song that makes you want to turn the volume up and run straight into the night.
Asked about the song’s inspiration, Adult Leisure says:
"It's easy to get blindsided and almost complacent with music that tackles social commentary. However, we've all had, or still have, ongoing experiences of the damage austerity has caused. We wanted our chance to express that anger. We saw a way to create a story drawn from personal and everyday experiences. Life still isn't good, and our way of dealing with it is through music - this is our petulance and frustration in a song.
Having to choose between eating a hot meal or putting £10 on the gas meter takes its toll. We've seen it up close in recent memory. It's so important for these subjects to remain in conversation."
It’s a powerful reminder that beneath the song’s soaring energy lies something very real — frustration, anger, and lived experience. Adult Leisure channel all of it into a track that feels both urgent and life-affirming at once. Let it carry you away for a few minutes, and maybe imagine hearing it live in Brighton next year.
