The first Aussie vocalist I heard who dared to sing in an accent even anywhere close to Australian. She made a brave choice, and she frikkin' nailed it. I saw her at Falls in the morning in a tent, before she made it big, and she was amazing. It's no surprise she exploded.
Grae Hall you clearly haven’t listened to much Aussie music, plenty of great (international) Australian vocalists have sung with their accents. Many more local acts, I mean if you listen to local music they pretty much all have Aussie accents.
Came here around 2AM in Mongolia, having just listened to the Axis of Awesome 4 Chord Song for the 1,000,000th time. I had no idea that Scar was an original song until tonight (every time I've seen the 4 Chords video in the past it lacked a key to the included songs). I genuinely thought the closing tune was a creation of those blokes. Sorry, Missy Higgins. You made something beautiful; something I've loved for a decade without knowing you made it. Consider me a new and enduring fan.
Axis four cord shit is worst ever not one song sounds the same at all. Only 10 chords you can play anyway so 4 are gonna be close. They're retards Missy Higgins is a global superstar there's a difference
What a throwback - this song has aged so well. I can't think of many Aussie artists brave enough to sing with the accent but she did it brilliantly here. Loved this tune as a kid, only now paying attention to the lyrics and they are awfully relatable.
Honestly i never realised she sung with an accent when i used to listen to the song and its so true about the lyrics. I used to sing it on singstar hahaha i think we still have a ps2 with the dvds
Still one of my favorite artists. She writes/makes such beautiful and meaningful music. I appreciate her craft more and more the older and wiser I get.
I remember listening to this album on repeat when I was like 7 years old now i'm 14 just recently found her again, this song has a special place in my heart x
well this was a major number 1 hit in australia in 2004...it should climb higher with the 10 year anniversary. either way, she deserves way more views in general.
I fucking hated Missy Higgins back when I was 10, but nowadays I find myself enjoying this song. Funny how time changes your opinion on music, isn't it?
I knew this song for ages and now that she just recently did a front act for Ed’s Divide tour here in Perth made it a nostalgic experience hearing her sing this live ❤️
@@DDK4411 nah he’s a beast. not many people can say they were in the heavyweight division of the UFC flatlining people. What’s he’s accomplished is amazing for so little time training. You sound a major hater and like you’re jealous you could never accomplish as much.
Oh Missy. I'm glad you're getting more fans, but for what it's worth there were a ton of us who loved you long before Axis of Awesome and Norwegian Recycling.
It's sad that there are so many bad relationships that leave people so hurt. I always try my best to keep my partner safe from others, myself, and themselves.
I Love the hidden message I'm my opinion it's that she won't stop trying to say her message of being yourself and just nonchalantly fixing the piano mid line. Like I'm not gonna let this get in my way and just calmly fix it
This song was my absolute jam 5 years ago❤️ lol I didn't realize she is Australian until I noticed her ascent, and I'm Australian lol Axis of Awesome brought me here.
+pompom45 I remember going into a budget clothing store looking for a new shirt and pair of shoes and heard Missy Higgins their PA system and nearly dropped my shit.
This is the woman who taught me how to sing. Some of the best singing techniques and tricks are ones I have picked up from Missy Higgins - she's brilliant.
@ 1:35, Shape-sorter issues. This feature is held in the Limbic System, which is responsible for processing chemicals before reaching the cortex, above the Corpus Callosum. It is similar to a shape sorter, as different chemicals need to fit into each other. This area of the brain has the ability to mix different chemicals. This area of the brain is also responsible for many diseases, most of which we observe as social diseases, but are due to faulty limbic systems. The most common issue's are breathing obstructions, or genetic upheaval, such as childhood molestation. If it is genetic upheaval, the specific area is when new Genetics are born in this area, which will result in scar tissue, and most likely permanent damage to the limbic system, which is visibly noticeable by viewing the spacing of eye sockets in some severe cases. Other issues can be genetic abnormalities, or other genetic issues dealing with hormones, mostly likely due to diet or other substance intake (dietary, drug, etc.). So this line, particularly for her dialogue, about her girlfriend, fits the science: Limbic Shape-sorter issues. Now, firstly is that a genetic response from the environment? Or was a forced, unwilled upheaval or obstruction? What is the population, and what is their diet, both social diet and other intakes, etc. This artist definitely put this into a lyric, and freely did so. This is about the only thing that is absolutely clear in the video, as most of the camera angles seem to deviate from moments during @ 0:21 to 0:26, she is not clear in video quality, or editing, but her lyrics are: Had boyfriend>Shape Sorting Issues>Failed Boyfriend>Had Girlfriend>Persisted Shape Sorting Issues>?Ending result?: Same Set (Word #7896), Different Shaped Donut? P.S. The word "scar", comes from the word Score, and School.
Australian memories back in 2004. I used to work Sydney townhall 2 $ shop. We always listen radio and this song was playing over and over. Great memory.
intensive live use, changes in humidity within the place the piano was left, constant moving of the piano, kids playing around it. any number of things could have happened to it. shit it could have just gotten old. or in the most likely case for this, they fabricated it to look like that.
This song was playing on the radio so much back then it pissed me off ... recent years I got a massive respect for her. I think once u get okay with pleasant music, it grows on you ... btw Higgins is my age & she's kinda cute. Or more than :P
He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note That said "use these down to your bones" And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him I thought "this one knows better than I do" A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle He tried to cut me so I'd fit And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar? So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea And she told me don't trust them, trust me Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, looked at my insides clicking her tongue and said "This will all have to come undone" A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle She tried to cut me so I'd fit And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar? And I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine ''cause I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same? And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar? Could you leave me with a scar?
Bloody brilliant. Miss my piano; upright pedal player, Hamilton, 1916. It's at my Nanny house and she turns 100 this year and never played anyways but I need about 6 large Men (or 3 and Dewey lol). And OMG we could use it for a wall and a ladder to the loft lol!
Totally on point about how those in the music industry try to strip you of your individuality & mold you into a clone. Missy has done a great job at resisting the allure of being transformed into a bimbo who uses sex to sell her music, she's retained her integrity & done it using the power of her incredible music & beautiful voice.. a true talent.
Love this song. It's fun and positive, but it has more of an edge and honesty than most personal positivity songs you hear like Firework, Scars to Your Beautiful, and Perfect.
Why are you searching? Agree, the comment dates are odd. Did you see the vid of Missy at the Lilith Fair? Like a triangle, trying to squeeze through a circle.
The thing with Missy Higgins is her lyrics are the strong point of her songs. Some of the best songs in the world are three or four chord tricks. I haven't seen the Axis of Awesome thing, but the reason these songs stick with people aren't necessarily the music, the lyrics, like in this song, might be awesome :)

"Coz I'm a little bit tired of fearing I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys" Possibly the most relatable lyric I have ever heard.

I went to prep school with Jordan from the Axis in the early 90's .. an older kid very good at rugby & only tackled him once haha

She is even better live 😍😍😍
Missy Higgins is Australia's K.D. Lang...

Still one of my favourite artists. Saw her at Sandstone last year for my Mum's final concert before she died. She had the best day ever.
Still one of my favorite artists. She writes/makes such beautiful and meaningful music. I appreciate her craft more and more the older and wiser I get.
This song brings me back to the early-mid 2000s when the world seemed more idealistic and I was just a kid with none of the worries of the world.
Stop watching TV news ..the world is fine
The passage of time's slippery, isn't it?
Sure it is.
Just ask the people of Ukraine.@@ACDZ123
i love the way she says 'bones' so australian. makes me proud
❤❤❤
Shouts to Bam Bam for putting us onto a fookin banger!!!
I remember singing this when i was like 5
never gets old always reminds me of home when I'm abroad :)
She wrote her first hit song as a school assignment ..... when she was 15 .... in a day. Oodles of talent in her little finger. An amazing Melburnian!
How do you know this? Amazing if it's true.
the piano solo in this video is so much more emotional and variable to the recorded version!! I love it!
One of the best Aussie songs ever ❤
I sang and played Scar at one of my first public performances. You're one of my inspirations, Missy. Thank you.
I remember listening to this album on repeat when I was like 7 years old now i'm 14 just recently found her again, this song has a special place in my heart x
Now your 19 bout time to rewatch
Axis of Awesome brought me here.
This brought me to Axis of Awesome.
Matrilwood For me, both ways.

Oh Missy. I'm glad you're getting more fans, but for what it's worth there were a ton of us who loved you long before Axis of Awesome and Norwegian Recycling.
My first ever favorite song 17 years ago as a 7 year-old, and now arguably my favorite tune of all time!
Thx for sharing..this one is mine..ua-cam.com/video/GMU2dpjIcto/v-deo.html
The most awesome band that does medleys of songs in just 4 chords.
It's sad that there are so many bad relationships that leave people so hurt. I always try my best to keep my partner safe from others, myself, and themselves.
Usrinam tell that to my ex 😂
:c sorry you've gone through it too...
Thank you for being wise and empathetic
Why does this only have 3 million views?😭
I Love the hidden message I'm my opinion it's that she won't stop trying to say her message of being yourself and just nonchalantly fixing the piano mid line. Like I'm not gonna let this get in my way and just calmly fix it
Phenomenal. I saw missy in concert afew weeks ago and was floored the entire time.
I've listened to this song ever since I was 5 now I'm 13 she's one of my all time inspirations
We'll not exactly 5 can't remember how old I was to be honest
Same.... :) she was my favourite
23 now aren't u
Does Missy ever tour in the UK-she’s needed!
catchy tune, strong voice, lyrics I can relate to... YUP, I think I shall have to find and listen to more of her songs. I like it! :)
my scares are of plenty, none from and all soothed by Missy, thanks my friend
This song was my absolute jam 5 years ago❤️
thank you. This is my reminder all the good times I had in Australia.
This song was my absolute jam 5 years ago❤️
lol I didn't realize she is Australian until I noticed her ascent, and I'm Australian lol
Axis of Awesome brought me here.
On a nostalgia binge and had to make a stop here on my journey through the sites of my mind.
Same, just passing through. Started with Cold Chisel, might listen to a bit of Eskimo Joe next.
I had this song stuck in my head all day, I love it!!
I wasn't sure about how this song was going to sound at first, but then the piano came in, and I knew i'd love it!
singstar nostalgia baby
YES OMG
This was my shit
I used to think no one could sing as sweetly as Joni Mitchel, just goes to show we live to be proven wrong.
This song really speaks to me. It just doesn't get old. The lyrics continue to resonate. I can't stop listening to it!
babe, PREACH!
One of my favorite songs is 10 Days of Missy Higgins since Sydney, 2004 ...
never gets old always reminds me of home when I'm abroad :)
+pompom45 I remember going into a budget clothing store looking for a new shirt and pair of shoes and heard Missy Higgins their PA system and nearly dropped my shit.

I only just realized that she brought out a new album last year
Just supported Ed Sheeren, and played headlined
Blue Mountains Music festival last weekend!
No, not this time, my kids saw her and loved her :)
Awesome song. Glad I made it here.
My parents grew me up on this for years as a kid❤️
She should be significantly more famous than many of the folks that are.
8 years old and Axis of Awesome is still doing its job from 7 years ago. Dammit that song is good.
such a cool chick.what a songwriter from this part of the world.bless u missy
I love this woman's music!
I remember this song, being unable to find it for years, and finding it just now... Needless to say, hearing it after so long is rather cathartic.
who came from axis of awesome?

got here because im Australian, Aussie pride, you go Missy Higgins
Who's here in 2024? 🙋♀️
Australian memories back in 2004. I used to work Sydney townhall 2 $ shop. We always listen radio and this song was playing over and over. Great memory.
I hope people in the USA listen to Missy Higgins and other Australian artists for inspiration. No wonder she has Warner Bros. No contest.
How does all that even happen to a piano? What was it used for target practice?
intensive live use, changes in humidity within the place the piano was left, constant moving of the piano, kids playing around it. any number of things could have happened to it. shit it could have just gotten old. or in the most likely case for this, they fabricated it to look like that.
Good point, But really it looks like someone took a baseball bat and bashed holes in it.
But I guess that can go under "kids playing around it"
More like;
Studio: We need a beat up old piano
Prop Director: *Pulls out baseball bat and hits it on ground in an overly theatrical manner* ON IT!
you did read my comment all the way through right? because that was literally the last thing I listed as the more than likely answer.
LOVE LOVE LOVE... Thank you, Missy. This one could be my anthem.
I always like a song better once I find out that they're Australian. So yeah. I like this song now

And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and
spoke like the sea

her tongue and said
