Missy Higgins – A Complicated Truth (Official Video)

How to make an 84 year man cry. Beautiful and moving song and performance. 😍

If only every child had a parent who could write a beautiful song to cover every emotional situation. Unbelievably beautiful song.

My husband moved out a year ago today. This video popped up on my feed and it completely floored me. Your songs have spoken to me at so many points in my life and this one really hit home. Our situation may be a little different but I know that feeling of trying to explain the unexplainable to a small person who just wants to understand and knowing that you cant give them the one thing they really want. Sending you love and solidarity. Thank you for sharing these pieces of you that speak so deeply to others.

Such a talented story teller. This is a beautiful thing to give your kids. Keep being wonderful. ❤

This one is heartbreakingly beautiful Missy ❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹

Had the chance to see her in Sydney just recently and this one had my friend and I holding back our tears, didn't work of course. It's such a beautiful song, I can't wait for the new album.

Beautiful, Missy Higgins, Brava.

I'll soon be having this conversation with my youngest daughter so this one really struck a nerve. Another fantastic song by one of the best song writers of the last 50 years

Oh missy.. you’ve made me cry. Beautiful 😭❤️

Missy that was so eloquently versed, and I'm sure she will understand and love your honesty more and more xx hugs from the UK ❤❤

Watched this in awe in Brisbane & with tears streaming missy. So beautiful & relatable. Thank you for sharing. My beautiful angels were 8 months & 3 yo when it happened. It’s been 2 years & what a wild ride. Soo amazing to see you returning home to yourself again missy! Thank you for 20 years of validating songs that help sooth the heartaches.

The trees are swaying out the window and you're not with me today You're with him and that's okay. That's okay. I hope you're running round in circles, hope you're laughing till you drop I hope you're feeling safe, I hope you're feeling loved The days are longer when you're not here, I've been staring at the sky Wondering what I used to do with all my time You're a universe of starlight bursting out of every seam And the house is so damn quiet when you leave You've been asking lots of questions lately, trying to figure out Why the endings in your books don't match ours And it breaks my heart trying to find some words you'll understand Cause baby nothing about this was in the plan All that I can tell you is a complicated truth I'll always love your daddy, cause together we made you From the moment I first met him I knew everything would change Your daddy woke my heart up in the kitchen that day He wore no metal armour, rode a vesper not a horse But I'd never felt so seen and so adored We loved each other's faulty parts, we kissed each other's wounds Till one day we were opening them too And I know your books don't end like that, I know it's hard to take A promise is a promise you say And all that I can tell you is a complicated truth I'll always love your daddy But now our love is something new Now I'm walking past your empty bedroom, turning off the lights And I'm hoping that he's tucked you in tight Cause I haven't had the answers lately Haven't known what to say When you ask me why love runs away And all that I can give you are these complicated truths Sometimes happiness is the hardest thing to choose But I'll always love your daddy, cause together we made you

Missy we have followed your journey from afar for over 20 years and this is a testament to your courage to never stop moving forward ❤

heartbreakingly beautiful missy, thank you for creating this

Thank you 🤗

Sending much love from Ireland ❤☘️

I was there in Frankston back in March and the Palais in May to hear this live and I have been waiting for you to release it. Just an amazing song with such true lyrics that resonate with so many. You are the soundtrack to our lives Missy and we are blessed to have you share your truth so beautifully with us, Thank you x

Just WOW, been listening to Chappell Roan a lot lately and she reminds me of so many great artists, one of which is Missy in terms or song construction & lyrical economy as well as vocal technique. Along with Vanessa & Delta, her songwriting just gets better with every year.

God, this album is going to be heartbreaking. Beautiful, as always, but heartbreaking.

Beautiful @missyhiggins. I miss seeing you live. I’ve shared this. I’ve bought your piano music, but can not afford to see you right now, but I’m cheering from the sidelines. I love you.
