Speaker 3: We were just talking off air when I said everybody

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: has a Missy Higgins story. Quite often, your music represents

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: such a moment in time for so many people, and

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 3: that must be really touching to know that you've been

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: part of, I suppose their environment and their life at

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 3: a special moment in time.

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: It is. It's so nice.

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 4: I've just finished forty shows across Australia world and I

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 4: could really feel it every night because I played the

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,319
Speaker 4: first half, I played my new album, the second half,

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 4: I played the entire of the Sound of White and

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: I could just I can only see all the little

22
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 4: memories and.

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: Stories floating around in the air while people are listening

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: to them so cool.

25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: Well, can I give you mind? Missy. A couple of

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: weeks ago, I celebrated twenty years at Nova. Oh wow,

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: and my first day on air American Rosso. This is

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: down in Adelaide when we first started Nova. American Rosso

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: introduced us as the Breakfast Show and Missy Higgins played

30
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: scar for us in the studio.

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: Oh wow, was that your first day? That was my

32
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: first day on the Job's amazing.

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: At this company. So it's sound of White, I mean

34
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: it is. It affected so many people around Australia and

35
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: it's got it just all the records. It freaks me

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: out that it's been twenty years. How do you look

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: back at that album.

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: I've got such a fondness for that album now. I

39
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: think I kind of rebelled from it for a little

40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 4: bit in my twenties, because you know, as you do

41
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: with everything that you created or said when you were

42
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: a teenager, you're like, oh my god, so embarrassing.

43
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm not that first anymore.

44
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: But now I appreciate it so much because I now

45
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: realized that it was an important album for people. I

46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 4: had no idea, And twenty years later, there's so many

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: people telling me these amazing stories and telling me how

48
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 4: much that album meant to them, and telling me that

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: they still remember where they were when they heard a

50
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: certain song, And yeah, I had no idea of the

51
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: impact that it made.

52
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: So I'm just so grateful for it.

53
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 5: I guess you're talking about it being important to other people,

54
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 5: but even though it may not be who you are anymore,

55
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 5: and it was so many years ago, it is also

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 5: still an element of who you were and kind of

57
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 5: who you are.

58
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Is it still a piece? It's a piece, and yeah,

59
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: you it is.

60
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess if you can imagine you had

61
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 4: your teenage diaries published and hundreds of thousands of people

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 4: bought it and still have it in their homes. It

63
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 4: kind of doesn't feel like my story anymore. But I

64
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: look back on it fondly and I think, well, what

65
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: a beautiful kind of snapshot into that was.

66
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: I think, well deserved. But I would love to hear

67
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: your thoughts. How do you feel personally about your induction

68
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: into the Area Hall of Fame. I mean, it's an

69
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: amazing honor.

70
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels incredible, Missy.

71
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: When you talk about the sound of White and you

72
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: go back to sort of twenty years ago, and those

73
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: were your personal diaries. Since then, though, you've been a

74
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 3: lot more open about talking about personal things and your

75
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: story as well, So that must have been another brave

76
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: step to go, you know what. Like, I've listened to

77
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: you on the Imperfect with You and the guys, and

78
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: I love that you're able to say, well, that's something

79
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: I'm prepared to share now, and it's not just in

80
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: the song.

81
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think for a long time in my twenties,

82
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: I was very guarded because it was an adjustment coming

83
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: into the public eye, and you know, suddenly everybody wanted

84
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: to know all about me and my personal life, and

85
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: we talk about it and gossip about it, and you know,

86
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: that's quite a thing to get used to, especially when

87
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: you're like, you know, you're young, and you're like an

88
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: introverted person and the only reason you started making music

89
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: was to try and kind of work through some difficult

90
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: teenaged angsty stuff in your bedroom. And then all of

91
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: a sudden, you know, everybody knows who you are, and

92
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: everyone's asking stuff that about stuff that's private. But I

93
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: think as I grew up and as I got older,

94
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 4: I just became more comfortable with the idea of sharing

95
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 4: personal stuff because I realized that it's actually helpful to

96
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 4: other people, and I realized that it's ultimately what connects

97
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: me with other people. It's what connects people to my

98
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: music because they can relate to me.

99
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: The new album, The Second Act is out now and

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,200
