The tenth track in my All-Time Top 25 Tunes is number seventeen, ‘The Special Two’ by Missy Higgins.
You can stream the track and official video for it here.
I find the heavily-accented tones of Australian singer/songwriter Missy Higgins are as delightful to listen to as they are distinctive.
But aside from her voice, the stories she tells – despite usually focussing on the less sunnier side of life – are beautifully-woven tales of failed love, broken romance or human frailties.
All of Missy Higgins’ songs are emotional insights to the human condition. All of them are poignant. All of them are set against surprising melodic depths. All of them are gorgeous.
If I could have just one Missy Higgins track in my Top 25 it would be this.
It is beautiful, and the story is as poignant to me as the song might be to you.
