Missy Higgins is a singer/songwriter from Melbourne.
Her music is unadorned and unforgettable. It's the reason
she's recently been the special on national tours by both
John Butler Trio and Pete Murray.
Missy Higgins was thrust into the limelight in mid-2001
while still at high school. She won the Triple J
"Unearthed" demo competition and her song "All For
Believing" became one of the station's most requested
tracks. Missy soon signed a recording deal with local label
Eleven: a music company (through Virgin/EMI). However,
instead of rushing to release a CD she chose to spend the
following year backpacking around Europe and writing lots
more music.
While she was off doing that, a live recording she'd made
for Triple J found it's way to Los Angeles tastemaker More...
Review about Missy Higgins A different idea... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
So try this on for size:
Rather than just another relationship song, imagine that she is a mother singing to the child she has put up for adoption, and that the "she who dares to stand where I stood" is referring to the woman who would become the child's new mother. No matter what interpretation, it's a heartbreaking song, and a fitting anthem to an infinite number of people's situations.

------ About the song They Weren't There performed by Missy Higgins
I'm singing this song for my music performance at school, and to have had the opportunity to read all of these different views on this song, has helped me to understand and connect with it on a level I couldn't have imagined possible. I was debating with myself as to whether or not I should sing it, because I'm not sure if I have the ability to draw people into a song the way she does, with such simple, yet powerful technique, but I think that now that I understand it more, it will help me to deliver it (hopefully).
The fact that some of you obviously know what you're talking about is awesome, too. Thanks for your insight.
Wish me luck.
:)

------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
I'm trying to believe that the woman is just scared about something going wrong. I think that she has been reunited with an old lover, and is falling very deeply back in love with him. She is scared that the problems that originally separated the two are going to come back again to haunt her. She is very cautious and is trying to lead with her head instead of following her heart. If she threw those worries away, she would be back with the love of her life.

------ About the song They Weren't There performed by Missy Higgins
I think it's about a girl so blinded by love that she didn't realise that the boy only wanted her for sex. And she couldn't refuse him, even though she got warned. And she's trying to tell the world that they don't know how she felt bacause 'they weren't there' in her place.
But anyhow, I think it's a beautiful song

------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
ok, To me it's about a girl that has forgotten who she is because that happens in a relationship. You move as one, but I don't think she was ready for all that yet, so she had to leave. Sometimes when you really love somebody you gotta let them go. I'm in love with my best friend but I know I couldn't be in a successful relationship right now. Maybe one day! Who ever he decices to be with has some big shoes to fill.!!

------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
This relates to me so well. I "had" three of thee best friends anyone could ask for. Than, of course...I had to fall in love with The handsome Jock, with the dreamy eyes. I've loved him for three years. THREE YEARS! And, my best friends knew about this! So, we are on and off for about two years, maybe? He breaks up with me. And, now one of those three best friends of mine, is going out with him. I told her, I still had feelings for him...She didn't care, and blew me off, and took my other two best friends, onto her side. We don't talk anymore, and everyone is saying I "lied" to her? I know I'm not the only one with these problems, but...I have a very tender heart. And, I don't take things too well...
I believe that this is a great song.. | Reviewer: Christian Clarence
------ About the song Scar performed by Missy Higgins
First, i didn't iknow that she is a lesbian.. All that i remember is i heard this song once and it never get out of my head and heart eversince..I tried to search foe this song and it took me a lil while but it was all worth it.. this particular song proves just what kind of a genius Missy is.. plus all this comments you guys posted here, its enough evidence that she is worth talkin bout and her music worth listening to.. Anyway,I always thought that this is a love song, that she was actually talkin bout a guy from her past and she just remebers its all with joy in her heart cause she jsut learned her lessons well.. (THAT IS BECAUSE I DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS SEXUALITY ISSUE)I will always believe that this is very obvious a love song.. " so that i do remember, to never go that far"--she meant not to fall in love again (at leats not yet) coz she shes scared of gettin scars, that simple.. And bout the girl who smelled like sugar? that was just another girl who's trying to give her some advice about love.. Well, again, this is really a love song..
fantastic song! | Reviewer: lew
------ About the song Sugar Cane performed by Missy Higgins
im a dancer and we danced to this song at a work shop at a dance competition and the teacher/ judge told us that the song was about her hiding from someone and not wanting to be near them and this related to missy because she was hiding from her fame because it came upon her so fast.
stunning lyrics | Reviewer: chloe
------ About the song Sugar Cane performed by Missy Higgins
the lyrics show a contrast between a child and adult, and how each of their lives differ. the child is scared and hiding in a corner, hiding from her fate or from reality perhaps. she has low self confidence and does not stand up to tell others who she really is. instead, the 'ballerina' lets others bring her down.
the second verse depicts the child grown up, in first person, rather than in third person as the first verse was. this proves that the woman is remembering herself as a child, so scared and alone. though the woman seems to have grown to lead an immoral life as an erotic dancer of some sort. she wanted to be able to help her younger self, though realises her childhood is the reason she has such a bad life now.

------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
I like this song but i think it means soemthing to different to me than most ppl, which is the awesoem thing about music, many diff interpretations. to me this song is about a girl who loves someone very much but realizes she needs to move on bc they both would be better off with someone else, even though she cant stand to think about it, they have been together so long that she lost who she was and it will be hard but very necessary to be on her own again.

Drowning | Reviewer: Marissa
------ About the song Drowning performed by Missy Higgins
This song is my lyrical song, i listen to it all the time and it will never get old. It's also the song i listened to when i lost my bestfriend. And also when me and my boyfriend broke up after 2 years. I think that this song is amazing and it explains so much about life. When I preformed in this dance at nationals, i got tears in my eyes. It always gets my teary-eyed. And thats what i love about it.

------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
I recently broke up with my boyfriend of 1 one year.. and this song completly describes how I feel. I'm very torn up inside but I know deep down that it needs to be done because my heart is telling me so. I'll always be a call away though. <3
This song says everything I can't | Reviewer: Greeley
------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
I'm friends with this guy and he is in love with me. I said that I liked him back, but then I got scared. I feel like this song describes how I need to move on and find out who I am outside of a relationship. It hurts terribly but I need to let him go so that someone can love him like he deserves.

------ About the song Katie performed by Missy Higgins
to me, this song is talking about depression and the mentality of someone that doesnt want to admit that they have a problem..
"Katie was a little girl who said "I'll find a way".
Katie was a little girl who said "it'll be ok"."
i think it means that she's trying to find a way out of it without medication or therapy and that even though she's not getting help for it it'll be okay. and then the line "I'm alive and I am free, but you see I have control over me." is like saying that she's still alive, and she's not being held down by anyone but she's in control over her emotions.
and shes just pushing everyone away because she doesnt want anyone to tell her what to do and shes constantly being asked if one day she'll just give up and give in to getting help.
but she "never was okay" so she just ended it by drowning. and she thought that because she'd pushed everyone away no one would care anymore.
but thats just me.
not so sure | Reviewer: heather
------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
I think, from the experience that I am going through now, that the song is about a girl who is becoming so involved with someone and she doesn't even know will be there forever with or for her. She's scared to take a risk on something thats unsure. She still wants to be with him, but knows since she's a coward, that there is someone out there brave enough to stand and stay where she stood and love him more since she's willing to take that risk.
What the song means to me | Reviewer: Jennifer
------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
This song is so about a girl that is in a relationship where she doesn't know who she is anymore. I am in a marriage where my husband and I fight all the time. We have been dancing around divorce for so long. I heard this song for the first time 2 days ago and I have been listening to it non stop since. I really believe this song has helped me realize that I need to divorce him. This song is my blessing...
amazing.. | Reviewer: Lauren

------ About the song Where I Stood performed by Missy Higgins
my 2 best friends are girls and are in love with each other, but one girl is younger and is masking their relationship by having another one with a boy simultaneously. she is hurting my other friend so much but she feels this is the only way to handle the situation because her family will not accept her lesbian relationship. she hurt our other friend many times, and this is her song for her- it describes them perfectly. she actually performed a dance solo to this song tonight and i knew it had to do with the two of them- so i looked up the lyrics and cried- i love this<3
