🖤☁️ 'The Sound of White' turns 15 today ☁️🖤

I cannot believe it but it has been fifteen years since I released 'The Sound of White'! Then again, it feels like another lifetime ago that I wrote and recorded those songs, the first of which I wrote when I was fifteen years old myself.

So, on this special day, I wanted to write and tell you what you all mean to me. It’s been a gigantic personal journey for me over the last fifteen years. I’ve made so many mistakes, I’ve broken apart along every seam, been put back together by the things I least expected. I’ve felt connections with audiences so strongly that my entire body felt electrified and boundary-less and I’ve wanted to cry from happiness. I’ve ridden the wave of what it feels like to be in your twenties and learning un-pretty things about yourself every day, I’ve taken risks, I’ve been careful, I’ve crawled away from the light and come running back to it.

And all through that, you’ve been there. Without you I’m a lone voice singing to a bedroom wall. At the risk of sounding like Jerry McGuire, you complete the story, every time. So thank you isn’t enough but here it is anyway: Thank you! Thank you!

And to also mark this day, here is a live version of me singing 'Any Day Now' at The Palais in Melbourne from the On A Clear Night Tour.

I read your intro and cried. My soulmate Tina and I loved your Sound Of White. I lost her to brain cancer in 2011. We saw you live way back in Rockhampton, long before she was diagnosed. There is some music that brings waves of emotions back, and your music from 15 years ago does that. Thank you for the memories even though I'm now a blubbering wreck.

What a lovely love letter to your fans. Thank you.

The Sound of White and, specifically, Any Day Now were life-saving for me. I imagine that you, as an artist, would dream that putting your vulnerability out in the world through music could help just one person...and that would make it all worth it. Well, you've helped me countless times. And I know you've helped tens of thousands of other people. Thank you for putting into words and music what the human experience is like so we can all find someone to relate to and get through one more day...closer to our own "any day now."

Such a big part of my life. No one else can touch my hear like Missy does.

I have loved you since the days where you sang my pain for me, in 'Stand Where I stood' .... some of the hardest days of my whole life. I was 18 then . I am 29 years old now. I sang that song in pain from a man I loved with my whole heart then...believe it or not... even though I was so young. Anyways..this song is perfection...I hope your sadness in your heart has waned Missy...or , like me, you've just learned to find "little bits of happiness" here and there instead. I wish you an amazing life, a better life from here on out... God Bless You <3 xoxoxo

I've loved watching you grow in your music and with your family. Thank you for being vulnerable and for giving me a sense of connection when I felt I no longer had it... Mostly connection to myself. It might sound self-indulgent but for me it has been freeing, and a release. Your songwriting is raw and captivating. From Going North to Watering Hole to Cemetery... I'll always be a fan of your music. Still can't believe I met you in Atlanta in 2012. I cringe and fill up with joy simultaneously when I think of that moment. I was very awkward (& frankly, unwell) and you were very kind. Thank you for that! Good luck to you and your future endeavors, Missy. <3

I would have been at this show <3 I can't believe it's been 15 years. The Sound of White album was there for me at such a difficult time of my life, it made me feel I had a home when I wasn't accepted in my own for being gay. Thank you Missy Xx
