Missy Higgins - Scar (Video)

[@sueburn536]

"Coz I'm a little bit tired of fearing I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys" Possibly the most relatable lyric I have ever heard.

[@peprmintbtlr3290]

Love this line but the opening one is also the best insult I've ever hear

[@BrenMurphy1]

she's a genius.

[@keithtaylor2177]

Came here around 2AM in Mongolia, having just listened to the Axis of Awesome 4 Chord Song for the 1,000,000th time. I had no idea that Scar was an original song until tonight (every time I've seen the 4 Chords video in the past it lacked a key to the included songs). I genuinely thought the closing tune was a creation of those blokes. Sorry, Missy Higgins. You made something beautiful; something I've loved for a decade without knowing you made it. Consider me a new and enduring fan.

[@LukeSherwood]

Axis four cord shit is worst ever not one song sounds the same at all. Only 10 chords you can play anyway so 4 are gonna be close. They're retards Missy Higgins is a global superstar there's a difference

[@potterj09]

I went to prep school with Jordan from the Axis in the early 90's .. an older kid very good at rugby & only tackled him once haha

[@GraeHall]

The first Aussie vocalist I heard who dared to sing in an accent even anywhere close to Australian. She made a brave choice, and she frikkin' nailed it. I saw her at Falls in the morning in a tent, before she made it big, and she was amazing. It's no surprise she exploded.

[@emilchandran546]

Grae Hall you clearly haven’t listened to much Aussie music, plenty of great (international) Australian vocalists have sung with their accents. Many more local acts, I mean if you listen to local music they pretty much all have Aussie accents.

[@Baskerville22]

Ever heard of Slim Dusty ?

[@michaelellis8726]

She wrote her first hit song as a school assignment ..... when she was 15 .... in a day. Oodles of talent in her little finger. An amazing Melburnian!

[@OogaBoogaOog]

How do you know this? Amazing if it's true.

[@Paperbagman555]

What a throwback - this song has aged so well. I can't think of many Aussie artists brave enough to sing with the accent but she did it brilliantly here. Loved this tune as a kid, only now paying attention to the lyrics and they are awfully relatable.

LYRICS: He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note That said "use these down to your bones" And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him I thought "this one knows better than I do" A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle He tried to cut me so I'd fit And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar? So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea And she told me don't trust them, trust me Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, looked at my insides clicking her tongue and said "This will all have to come undone" A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle She tried to cut me so I'd fit And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar? And I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine ''cause I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same? And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home? Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone? And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more? And so that I do remember to never go that far, Could you leave me with a scar? Could you leave me with a scar?

[@justincarrel7930]

I Love the hidden message I'm my opinion it's that she won't stop trying to say her message of being yourself and just nonchalantly fixing the piano mid line. Like I'm not gonna let this get in my way and just calmly fix it

[@MTKTube]

intensive live use, changes in humidity within the place the piano was left, constant moving of the piano, kids playing around it. any number of things could have happened to it. shit it could have just gotten old. or in the most likely case for this, they fabricated it to look like that.
