All of them are poignant. All of them are set against surprising melodic depths. All of them are gorgeous.<\/p>\n<p>If I could have just one Missy Higgins track in my Top 25 it would be this.<\/p>\n<p>It is beautiful, and the story is as poignant to me as the song might be to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0tenth track in my All-Time Top 25 Tunes is number seventeen, &#8216;The Special Two&#8217; by Missy Higgins.
