LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Carry You’ - Missy Higgins

Taken from the brand new hit TV series ‘Upright’, our LCM featured track today is the beautiful ‘Carry You’ written by Tim Minchin. It features one of our favourite Australian vocalists Missy Higgins.

I hadn’t seen Upright before Tim asked me if I wanted to record a song for it, but I was a big fan of Tim’s work so I knew it would be good. When he played me 'Carry You' on the piano I instantly felt how beautiful and universal it was and how I might make it my own.

Sarah Belkner (who plays keyboard for both of us) did an incredible job of wrapping it in some classy, understated production, and I love how it turned out in the studio with her.

After I watched the series (which blew me away, it was so good) I finally understood how multi-dimensional the song is and it made me love it even more. When I sang it in the studio, I felt the ache of regret and the longing for connection through the lyrics, which is something any of us can relate to I think.

I’m so happy to be a part of this project, it’s Aussie TV at its absolute best.
