What do you have to steer? A car? A scooter? A go kart? Well, I cannot steer since I am legally blind and my mom does not allow me to get a scooter for the rest of my life. Feels sad to listen to this song since it reminds me that I can't drive a car or scooter, therefore I can't steer!
She has had many, and I have followed her from the beginning, but I still think this is Missy's best song. Amazingly uplifting and heartfelt. And that bass line!
If I could sum up the beauty of Australia for people in one perfect and pristine moment it would be this song when it plays at the start of Tomorrow When the War Began with that beautiful footage of country a town and rolling hills. No clue why but it always brings a tear to my eye and reminds me how lucky where are in this country. What a song, what an artist. Love Missy
It was hearing this song at the beginning of that movie that bought me here. And even though I’ve never been to Australia, Ive seen plenty of videos and pictures. You have a beautiful country and I hope top visit someday.
I absolutely love TWTWB. When I graduated primary school my teacher gifted me the whole book series signed by John Marsden. We only had the first two books in our library (downside of rural town living) and I would borrow them at least once a month through years 5 and 6. Pretty sure my name was the only one on the borrower card for year 6. She was legit the best teacher and I'm sure every one of her students would agree. She took the time to get to know all of her students RiP Ms Koopa - yes. That was her actual name.
So many good memories, working as a flight attendant, this was our boarding music, flying all over Australia in 2005!! Love this song, so meaningful, thanks Missy x
I stumbled across this song recently, it was on the intro of some random late night film, and I instantly fell in love. I had never even heard of missy Higgins. This song is so beautifully happy and uplifting.
Feel it falling off like clothing Taste it rolling on your tongue See the lights above you glowing Oh, and breathe them deep into your lungs It was always simple, not hidden hard You've been pulling at the strings Playing puppeteer for kings And you've had enough But the search ends here Where the night is totally clear And your heart is fierce So now you finally know That you control where you go You can steer So hold this feeling like a new born Of freedom surging through your veins You have opened up a new door So bring on the wind, the fire and the rain It was always simple, not hidden hard You've been played at a game Called remembering your name And you stuffed it up But the search ends here Where the night is totally clear And your heart is fierce So now you finally know That you control where you go You can steer, oh So now you finally know That you control where you go You can steer 'cause you've been listening for answers Oh, but the city screams and all your dreams go unheard But the search ends here Where the night is totally clear And your heart is fierce So now you finally know That you control where you go You can steer, oh Yeah, get out of the box and step into the clear, oh 'cause now you finally know you can steer Songwriters: Melissa Higgins
I get this song !! I dont know if many people do or not but definitely is talking about taking control of your life (stear - control) i love it .... its so hard to control what's going on sometimes in ya life and if you lurn how to stear you can control you're life 👍 love missy for this!!
I got to Audition with this song for Queensland's Creative Generation 2018. Have been singing it ever since and I always get it requested! I also sang it at the 2018 Brisbane Lord Mayor's Christmas Carols Thanks Missy for your wonderful melodies and lyrics!
Fausto Intilla What's wrong with Madonna and Lady Gaga? Sure, you or I don't like it, but it's not bad. Just like what ever you enjoy and don't let other peoples taste get you down.
I love her soulfulness. And, she let her accent carry over. Maybe that's stupid, but as an American, I'm glad to hear a song in English with some flavor.Bottom line, though, is, this song is remarkably, and yet simply, AWESOME. Go, Missy!
Because you all have an accent to us, along with different parts of our country. And as for that needless "u" we removed it when we broke away from you our colonial oppressors, grrr !!!!!!!
I have visited the US every other year in the past decade and no natural American has ever picked up that I am faking an American accent. EVER (MIN, MA, NY, CA). I do it just so they don't ask me to repeat something or spaz out at my AU accent. That said, every single American imitation of the AUS or UK accents I have ever heard has been terribly embarrassing, let alone passable. I think this probably has to do with media exposure. Being an aussie, we get exposed to lots of different accents through TV and movies, meaning most can imitate the accents easily.
I love you missy Higgins!!!!!! I played this song in my guitar concert!! Who the F is the single dislike...this song is perfect, whats to dislike? i dont know about you guys but breaking rust brought me here
Agreed, she is wonderful live- wonderful concert, just how they should be, focusing on the talent of the performer and not the spectacle of who can spend most money.
I love you missy Higgins!!!!!! I played this song in my guitar concert!! she kind of reminds me of the girl who played in hard candy Tomorrow when the war began brought me here
I don't know what it is, but this song always bring a tear to my eye, every single time. Whether it opens something inside me about the mistakes I've made in life, or how it speaks to me about finding what I want, it always brings things to the surface that are deep within. Missy Higgins's music has a way of working into the soul and touching the places where the innermost emotions are.
this song is ace i have it on a hoodie to prove so :) plus I decided to sing this in my gig because the lyrics mean so much to me so thankyou to Missy for being so true and pure to herself and sharing her wonderful gift with the world :)
She's so beautiful, I'm in love ❤️ truly an inspirational song I like it Breaking rust I love you missy Higgins!!!!!! I played this song in my guitar concert!!
truly an inspirational song I like it Breaking rust tomorrow when the war began??????? I love you missy Higgins!!!!!! I played this song in my guitar concert!!
One of my Sensei's, who was way more versed in capoeira than I ever was, used to say to me that the best capoeira is break dance. He was saying this in regards to me and some of my other fellow students that we needed to loosen up. That fighting isn't rigid. To be strong and effective, it doesn't have to be. My training partner was a slightly different style than me. I was categorized as wind, very evasive, stick and run, and my training partner, Wolf, was characterized as water. So, both of us were being taught capoeira as a way to break us out of our own habits. I wish I could have learned to be as smooth as this guy in the ring. I bow to the prince.
I wish I could steer where I am going! I always get put in a different direction! Such an positive inspiration though! Steer my career without other people putting me down? that's a dream!
i uhm, im a guy that listens to german rap, german hip hop, atzen music and i come to this and i really like this. this is relaxing rather to a hard beat or heavy bass you just have the crystals of a guitar
i dont know about you guys but breaking rust brought me here tomorrow when the war began??????? Who the F is the single dislike...this song is perfect, whats to dislike?
Australia is definitely NOT lacking in musical talent.
just missing studios that are taken seriously else this would not have been recorded in a studio in LA
Yeah The Wiggles
No it’s not thank to yt, I was introduce to Missy, powderfinger and Peter murry
I love this song. This artist is underrated. This album that this song comes off of is really good. Each song is wonderful.
I will check out the album then thanks
'Your heart is fierce' lyric gives me a lump in my throat every time. Made my life better for it
Yeah that and 'you can steer' are so simple words yet they hit so hard.
goosebumps
What do you have to steer? A car? A scooter? A go kart? Well, I cannot steer since I am legally blind and my mom does not allow me to get a scooter for the rest of my life. Feels sad to listen to this song since it reminds me that I can't drive a car or scooter, therefore I can't steer!
I know it hurts not to be able to do something and it's also your mom's fault for not let you buy a scooter.
Just why does it have to be you but not others? So sad for you!
I heard this in the supermarket today. Takes me back to good times.
13 years later and I’ve finally found it 😭😭😭
Literally me right now!
She has had many, and I have followed her from the beginning, but I still think this is Missy's best song. Amazingly uplifting and heartfelt. And that bass line!

Toscalily spot on, good movie that one
It was hearing this song at the beginning of that movie that bought me here. And even though I’ve never been to Australia, Ive seen plenty of videos and pictures. You have a beautiful country and I hope top visit someday.
YES
Your so right that movies opening encapsulates Australia perfectly. what a song. so damn good!!!
I absolutely love TWTWB.

RiP Ms Koopa - yes. That was her actual name.
This song makes me cry every time. Brings back so many memories 😭
Same here!
Breaking phase?
Ditto
Ditto, every single time.
it was always simple 😭😭
So many good memories, working as a flight attendant, this was our boarding music, flying all over Australia in 2005!! Love this song, so meaningful, thanks Missy x
The song got released in 2007 though...
You were able to board everyone in 3 minutes and 47 seconds?
I stumbled across this song recently, it was on the intro of some random late night film, and I instantly fell in love. I had never even heard of missy Higgins. This song is so beautifully happy and uplifting.
Feel it falling off like clothing
Taste it rolling on your tongue
See the lights above you glowing
Oh, and breathe them deep into your lungs
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been pulling at the strings
Playing puppeteer for kings
And you've had enough
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
That you control where you go
You can steer
So hold this feeling like a new born
Of freedom surging through your veins
You have opened up a new door
So bring on the wind, the fire and the rain
It was always simple, not hidden hard
You've been played at a game
Called remembering your name
And you stuffed it up
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
That you control where you go
You can steer, oh
So now you finally know
That you control where you go
You can steer
'cause you've been listening for answers
Oh, but the city screams and all your dreams go unheard
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
That you control where you go
You can steer, oh
Yeah, get out of the box and step into the clear, oh
'cause now you finally know you can steer

I love Missy Higgins... she gets to my soul.
My favourite song from Missy Higgins ❤️❤️
For the future female generations of my family: Songs like this guided your ancestors. Trust in the lyrics and love of our family name. Love you.
I love you missy Higgins!!!!!! I played this song in my guitar concert!!
Who ever wrote the screen play for this video is a genius, and thanks for choosing all my favourite parts of Sydney.
This song is a marker of a truly happy time for me. Much needed right now.
Such an inspiring song. A perfect anthem for Heck yes I made it through!
What great range Missy has. She can sing happy songs like this just as well as she can sing emotional songs like "Where I Stood".
I get this song !! I dont know if many people do or not but definitely is talking about taking control of your life (stear - control) i love it .... its so hard to control what's going on sometimes in ya life and if you lurn how to stear you can control you're life 👍 love missy for this!!
Irony at its finest: an everlasting smile.

I love her soulfulness. And, she let her accent carry over. Maybe that's stupid, but as an American, I'm glad to hear a song in English with some flavor.Bottom line, though, is, this song is remarkably, and yet simply, AWESOME. Go, Missy!
+KidIndigo1 Why do you yanks think everybody else has an accent ! And by the way flavour is written like this.
Because you all have an accent to us, along with different parts of our country. And as for that needless "u" we removed it when we broke away from you our colonial oppressors, grrr !!!!!!!
she's Australian, not English
Go listen to lilly allen she has the best accent when she sings.

Thank you missy your music is amazing 😘
Great song, thank you for posting
New in Town brought me here. Love this song 😍
One of my Sensei's, who was way more versed in capoeira than I ever was, used to say to me that the best capoeira is break dance. He was saying this in regards to me and some of my other fellow students that we needed to loosen up. That fighting isn't rigid. To be strong and effective, it doesn't have to be. My training partner was a slightly different style than me. I was categorized as wind, very evasive, stick and run, and my training partner, Wolf, was characterized as water. So, both of us were being taught capoeira as a way to break us out of our own habits. I wish I could have learned to be as smooth as this guy in the ring. I bow to the prince.
I cried 😭 such a deep song 🎶
I wish I could steer where I am going! I always get put in a different direction! Such an positive inspiration though! Steer my career without other people putting me down? that's a dream!
Steer what? A scooter? A remote control toy car? You steer what?
was in a bad mood all day, and surprisingly this was the song that turned it around. definatly not my usual go to feel good song. 😂
Estou apaixonado!
truly an inspirational song I like it
