MISSY HIGGINS
I know there are posts about her in the AsS thread but its been about a month since we added her into the thread and I'm afraid that know one will be taking notice so I have decided to make a thread up just for her

Missy Higgins is a 21 year old Australian songwriter/musician/singer (as she has stated).
Here is the link to the other posts about her in the Australian singer/songwriter thread:
http://forums.nessaholics.com/viewtopic.php?t=2420&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=45
Missy won a radio competition when she was 17, the prize was a record deal.
Instead of recording it then and there, she instead chose to travel around Europe after leaving school and worked on her songwriting.
Her first EP was released November last year and was successful on many local radio stations but didnt really pick up in the mainstream charts.
But Missy's 2nd release SCAR EP was picked up by alot of major radio stations and music programs, with alot of hard work and touring Missy managed to nab herself a number one hit on the Australian music chart.

Her music and lyrics are heart felt and beautiful, so if you can PLEASE visit her super cool website http://www.missyhiggins.com
You can listen to some of her songs, watch her music videos, download wallpapers and AIM icons.

How is that for a sales pitch lol?
She really does rock guys, it might take a while to get used to her style and accent but she is Australian so thats how she sounds

Take care

i've been a fan since she won the triple J thing and have been waiting patiently for the new album. have the 2 EPs from iTunes. she's AMAZING.

Are you going to order her cd off her website Jessica?
You get a free live cd with it, I'm tossing up whether too. I would really like to but I am impatient and wanted to get it the day it comes out.
I was lucky enough to have gotten her 1st release in the mail this week because I ordered it from the site.
My favorite song is actually fastly becoming The Cactus that found the beat. What is yours?

For Scotty

NIGHTMINDS
Just lay it all down. Put your face into my neck and let it fall out.
I know
I know
I know.
I knew before you got home.
This world you're in now, it doesn't have to be alone, I'll get there somehow, 'cos
I know I know I know
when, even springtime feels cold.

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see,
so we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
And in our honesty, together we will rise,
out of our nightminds, and into the light
at the end of the fight...

You were blessed by a different kind of inner view: it's all magnified. The highs would make you fly, and the lows make you want to die.
And I was once there, hanging from that very ledge where you are standing.
So I know
I know
I know,
it's easier to let go.

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see, so we can both be there and we can both share the dark. And in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds and into the light at the end of the fight.

...and in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds and into the light... at the end of the fight...

This music is pretty good 8O. I could only find one song to stream on the site, but I will definitely look for more. I happened to click the link because I was updating the Other Musicians Thread and decided to check it out, and wow it is good.

Cool Brian :wink: Im very glad that you gave her a listen.
She writes some brilliant songs, yeh there is a new song on her website everyday. Song 9 off her cd is up today called The River so there is not many more to go but if u go to videos then there are a few you can watch.

Here are the lyrics to Katie that im posting here for my friend Ashlee.

KATIE
Katie was a little girl who said "I'll find a way".
Katie was a little girl who said "it'll be ok".
Till one day she found a little bit of something she used to drown.
She said "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me."

But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".

Katie was a little girl who never found the way.
Katie was a little girl who never was ok.
Cause one day she found a little bit of something she used to drown.
She said "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me."

But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".

She said "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me"...

But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".

And she said... "go".

Why do you put that in every post, whether it's relevant or not?

Just wondering... =) [/ot]

That's b/c I'm used to being able to use

on the DGF - without the frown!
I use it as an upward glance of admiration - without getting all fuzzy like

A wider choice of emoticons here would be so cool especially nice ones

Peace
