Mark Seymour Debuts ‘The Whole World Is Dreaming’ With Missy Higgins

Mark Seymour has a new song with Missy Higgins. ‘The Whole World Is Dreaming’ was recorded live in an empty theatre at The Forum in Melbourne during the 2020 lockdown.

“It is our great pleasure to announce the release of a new single,” Mark said in a statement.

“’The Whole World is Dreaming’ featuring the voice of Missy Higgins.. recorded live to video from the Forum theatre during the 2020 Lockdown..

“There were moments last year when many of us believed we might never live again. So we seized the opportunity to document the band performing the whole of the ‘Slow Dawn’ album live.

“Missy lifted the mood to a new level. What a voice she has. ‘Sometimes a song can travel from the end of one life to the beginning of another, a lullaby to sing a child to sleep, or a hymn for the dying.’

“The Whole World Is Dreaming’ is a shape changer. One of those songs you can carry ‘round for years.”

Mark Seymour will head back out with Hunters & Collectors for Red Hot Summer in 2022.

The Red Hot Summer shows features:

Hunters & Collectors
James Reyne
The Living End
The Angels
Baby Animals
Killing Heidi
Boom Crash Opera

Red Hot Summer is returning with Hunters & Collectors to take care of “unfinished business”.
