20 years on, and still one of the most powerful and well-written songs in Australian music.

... Time stops when Missy is in the Room. Is any one else left speechless and full of emotion? 💕

The way this woman, a genuine, empathic and highly aware soul articulates her thoughts and feelings is truly a work of art.

When I moved from England to Australia I left everything behind. My career my family. I felt lost for a long time..and Missys album kept me going she holds a special place in my heart. I've seen her live twice and hopefully more

Missy, you are a National Treasure. Part of so many lives, including mine.

[jessiepink]

I remember playing this song over and over when I lost my girlfriend 😢
Rip Michelle babe I'll always love you 😭

5days after a breakup and YouTube recommends this 😔❤ such an unrated artist ❤

I discovered this song within weeks of my first partner and i moving on with our lives. It painted every emotion no one could see.

This has always been my go to Post-breakup song to listen to, but this version is something else entirely, and I'm sad that I'm only finding it just now! This one feels so much more intimate and "accepting" of everything.

[luvovmuzik]

I like this live performance and vocal even more than the album version.

[bobjanson]

The voice has deepened but the emotion is stronger than ever. I was late to find her music but enjoy it daily. Thanks for such a gift

[stephenamos]

This song is so gorgeous and timeless, just like Missy Higgins!
From the album that inspired me to get into singing and music. Very special indeed.

The Special Two is my favourite song because it is the reason I started singing and playing piano. It holds such emotion and memory for people everywhere.

Ahhh back to 2004 with one of the songs I loved to sing driving to and from work, belting it out while thinking of my then partner. So in love and didn't realise it until it ended. Sweet memories and another page in the book of life experiences. Thank you for sharing your work, Missy. Wishing you and yours all the best. Love from the Gold Coast~♡♡

I broke my mirror because of this song, and broke in tears 😭 the special girl 🧡

[hughmahony]

I sing this song to my 4 month old girl to get her to sleep. It inspires me to bring her up correctly, give her every opportunity under the sun and love her no matter who she becomes! Missy you’re the best!

[ashla]

As always .... am swept away to that timeless moment of beauty and truth Missy
