10 years on and I still find myself coming back to this masterpiece.

[@mitchm4166]

Me too!.... fking perfection

[@craigj7747]

As much as i love the original, i have listened to this probably a conservative 995 times!

[@nicholedemon5476]

Looked up this song cuz wentworth 🖤beautiful

[@hoopabergo]

Heart's a Mess is my all time favorite song. Missy Higgins is a fantastic singer. This is fucking sensational.

[@annecarroll4888]

This song totally rocks. It always reminds me of my Mum. Sadly taken from me this year

[@richtofen4888]

Anne Carroll much love

[@ericroe4761]

jaw dropping performance. Honestly blown away by Missy's control and dynamicism - it's hard to believe it's just a piano and her voice.. what a powerful cover.

[@bijankhadembashi1016]

Well said, especially during the chorus she captured the original so well

[@markfish8403]

I’m listening right before my karaoke performance for perspective, she’s supreme. Always listen to a cover of the song you are covering!

[@killroyoneal]

Beautiful, thrilled to see someone take on on of Gotye's songs that isn't "Somebody That I Used To Know"

[@bottleshopjoshwh]

This is still without a doubt one of my favourite Like A Versions of all time.

[@timmmychanga]

Amen

[@jasondenys6776]

Vote for it in the hottest 100 LAV! :)

[@IamtheWV17]

This is a wonderful example of how if you combine a beautiful song and a wonderful artist you basically cannot go wrong.... The true embodiment of what covering others work really is.

[@pjdorf]

Sure, I'm 8 years late to this party, but its still raging as far as I can tell. This is a really enjoyable performance, she is fully committed to it - stepping it up over and over again. Definitely one of may favourite covers of all time.

[@Liverino]

The piano work is gorgeous

Every now and then I came back to hear this song. Absolutely loved what Missy did with this song. So emotional, so touching. Thank you Missy!

[@WendyKay84]

The minimalist approach to this performance is perfect. I LOVE Gotye's original, but Missy's interpretation is just as beautiful.

[@ameliap.4894]

no how many times she sings the same song, she puts such a raw inner piece of her self from within like it had been sung for the very first time. She has nailed this cover on the head. Her ability is sky high

[@jaxstar8484]

When I heard that on the radio it nearly bought tears to my eyes. I havent heard anything as stunning for a very long time. The sound quality is amazing too!

[@jeffimsheroky]

Missy should sing the next Bond song

[@KittyRoseCupCakes]

Yesssss

[@sokaris8497]

She did a song in her recent tour playing alongside the Symphony Orchestra.. and I just though, oh my god why is this not a Bond song. Can't remember for the life of me what it was.. :(

[@sokaris8497]

annnnd... it was Confide in Me.. a Kylie Minogue cover :) If that's not a bond song.. honestly.

[@urbanpermie6307]

I really thought Sia's song Kill And Run was the most obvious Bond song choice ever, but they used it in Great Gadsby in the credits role

[@sventhehuman1253]

Start a petition. The next movie's coming up.

[@tinylittleanj2]

Oh, I still love this version so much!! Missy is amazing!!

[@sarahootp]

THIS WOMAN !!!! I cried over the perfection of her voice...

[@GremlinGrub]

Aussies are truly amazing in the music business :D So proud of Missy :')

[@kunti2]

You are not wrong. This is a masterpiece.

[@KrisSanford10]

No matter how many times I watch this, I am still amazed. Just perfection

[@latentcomic]

Still stunning. I see why the girls cried when he forgot to sing this at one of his concerts. Piercing lyrics. Wow Missy, you own it.

[@jdraper10]

This is unreal, when I thought I couldn't love her more, I watch this. I will be playing this on repeat for a while. Perfection.

[@TimmyStaunton]

aaaaaaaand now I'm in love with Missy Higgin's as if I wasn't already.

[@Boweavel]

wow.. that song touched her heart.. and her version touched mine (as did his version) but gee.. missy giving it some real heartfelt emotions.. LOVE IT

[@lukejones8179]

Lost count of how many times i have watched this and it never fails to grab my complete attention and mesmorise me

[@FnVRGaming]

Bloody amazing

[@highlonesomebluegrass8286]

She feels what she sings, I felt it listening to her sing and it fits with what’s going on in my life right now so it got me good.

[@whatnahify]

[@lizkane3889]

I love this song more and more every time I hear it!!

[@skyydancerdreams]

I’ve always loved this song…she just made me love her singing it…amazing.

[@Brodzzzzz]

I watched MIssy Higgins at the Fremantle Save The Kimberly Concert... ( WHILE I WAS HIGH ) and seriously.. Almost cried because it was so beautiful.. Her voice and melody's.. Got me good

[@TheThreeAndNine]

Geez, so much emotion, she was incredible! I wasn't expecting that, to be honest.

[@arthurathanassiou3948]

She puts so much emotion into her singing .. a great piece of work .. love it ... love it ..

[@woahmandy1]

i love female singers that have voices like this. so soothing

[@adelaidegrahame9208]

Incredibly captivating. Simply beautiful.

[@benjames9929]

This is just so amazing, I've listened to this so many times. Absolutely amazing Missy!! Probably the best like a version I've heard!!

[@skellingtonluvr]

I really love the way she does the chorus.

[@jaysonlitton1973]

Goyte's Heart's a Mess caught my heart on release and it brings back great memories now. Missy not only makes it her own, but makes me appreciate the original as much as she obviously does. I can't imagine a better cover.

[@lauraprovost2959]

5 years later and I still can't get enough of this. Amazing 😍😍😍

[@ScottOrKaze]

Her voice is just something to adore

[@huehnerfickers]

Now that's a cover! Great in it's own right without taking away from the original.

[@MrIzzyG]

I have always loved this song and Missy has made me love it even more! Brilliant!

[@garethde-witt6433]

Wow first I’ve seen and heard this, goosebumps 😳

[@tyronbeard3624]

Faaark!! Goose bumps and tears... AMAZING!!

[@huntervalleyhinterlands]

If Higgins and Goyte did a song together, it would by far be one of my favourite songs :)

[@brinleyduggan9805]

What if it was a dub step cover of hey brother by Aviici?

[@HoyaSaxaSD]

Objection, calls for speculation.

[@LeTeash]

Speechless...Missy has done it AGAIN! Love this woman xxx

[@brentdicocco5811]

Gote

[@larissamurtagh3270]

Wow..... Irrevocably heartbroken... slowly making my way through the journey and onto second act as Missy so eloquently puts in one of her newer songs, but this just sings to my soul. She has a crystle ball to my life I swear it's bloody uncanny 🧡💫

Great taste Missy. Hearts a Mess is where my appreciation for Gotye all started. From the stunning Gossip Girl scene 2009. This interpretation took that emotional rollercoaster to 11.
