A Weekend of Missy Higgins

This weekend I went to the concert of my favorite female artist, Missy Higgins, at La Zona Rosa in Austin, Texas. Missy Higgins is one of the top female artists in Australia and is currently touring in the U.S. This concert was by far the most amazing musical event I have been to in years, if not during my whole life. It was interesting to literally watch her songs touch people in the audience to the point that the people were crying. One of the many things that make Missy Higgin’s music so special is that she not only sings in the most beautiful voice while playing both guitar and keyboard, but she also writes her own lyrics as well. Her music is so intelligent, with such depth and insight into the world around us all.

Thus, below, I have decided to share two videos of her singing two different songs that I absolutely love. The first song is, “The Sound of White,” which is apparently (according to what I have heard, examined, and read online) a song she wrote for a close friend of hers that passed away and it is absolutely beautiful, haunting. The second song, “Nightminds,” is – according to myself and many of her fans – about being there for a loved one with bipolar disorder and getting through its highs and lows together. Be sure to listen closely to the words in these songs, as the stories they tell are most beautiful.
