Melody (you’re the only one who saves me) – portrait of Missy Higgins by Kate Tucker
I admit, I had slightly forgotten about Missy Higgins except for the odd song on Mix 101.1 till June when I saw the Archibald Prize at TarraWarra museum in June. Her portrait by Kate Tucker was a standout in the gallery. The same artist was originally commissioned for the cover of Missy's come back album ' The Ol' Razzle Dazzle' release in June this year. After taking a break from the music industry for a couple of years, it had been 5 years since her last album.
When my friend from Prime7 asked me to go with her to a Missy Higgins concert, I was a 'hell yes!' I had forgotten how much I loved the stories told in her songs & lets be honest, a few belt it out loud sing along songs. I brought my sister with me, who was even tearing up! She played songs from all 3 albums, playing 'The Special Two' & 'Where I stood' on the grand piano with no back up besides the acoustics from the Palais theatre. Spine tinglingly good.
