How Does The Song “The Special Two” By Missy Higgins Relate To Romeo And Julietplease Answer?

0

“The Special Two” is a song of apology regarding the relationship between Higgins and her sister Nicola. The song was written when Missy locked herself in her bedroom (the bungalow) at the back of her parents’ house with a bottle of wine (which Higgins changed into “whiskey” for the lyrics of the song for rhythmic purposes). At the time her room was covered with exotic material, posters and the smell of incense. She wrote most of it at her favorite time, the dead of night when there were no distractions, no one to catch up with, just her in her own little self-indulgent cocoon. The particular night she was feeling very sorry for herself, she hadn’t left the room in days and it was 4am. She occasionally crawled out for a piece of toast and to get some more wine, but she couldn’t function properly until the song was finished. It was a very dark few days for her as she had hurt her sister and wanted to apologise as she was unbelievably sorry that she had let both Nicola and herself down.
