This is my live solo-acoustic cover of Missy Higgins' masterpiece, Night Minds. I find the lyrics and melody of this song to be heavenly cathartic each and every time I express it. She is such a master of conveying powerful messages with unfettered simplicity. I encourage you to explore her work if you have not already done so.
Cover tunes can be difficult for singer/songwriters to deliver authentically as we are so accustomed to expressing our own material. It's not so much that it's difficult to connect to other people's songs in terms of listening to them and feeling them and enjoying them, but when it comes to actually PERFORMING them yourself...well...it has to be something that's so visceral, you could have conceivably written it yourself, lest you feel like you're being untruthful. This song hits home on such a personal level. I hope you enjoy it.
