  • Love this song!!

  • love the way she writes her songs and how she composes her music. Even when you're down or if you're happy you can bet she's written a song that will have that emotion in it :) a very rare talent, and one she uses to her fullest capacity.

  • I am consistently unimpressed when a performer's "live" performance falls well below any online digital release. Technology can only compensate for lack of talent so much. The quality of the voice and music caught my attention, but every single live performance video I can find only serves to divulge the fact that the talent is perversely magnified surely for profit. A shame. A true shame.

  • @theoriginalksensei I could agree with you in many cases, but not with Immi. She makes live performances of her songs different, creative, and fun. Granted she's not perfect, but her voice live is still just as amazing as the studio recordings. My favorite example is her rendition of "Just for Now" for Indie 101 with Zach Braff; it and the original are so wonderful, yet stylistically different, and I love the way she can mold and create something entirely new from an already great song.

  • @theoriginalksensei Also, her talent isn't "perversely magnified" just to make money. If you dig a little deeper into her work, you'll be able to see the passion and love invested into her music.

  • @theoriginalksensei I agree that her live performances, for me at least, don't come close to the final releases. Though as I've learned, and if I remember correctly, she does her own edits. Lately she's even asked fans to send clips and samples of rythms, instrumentals, ect to use/get inspiration from to create new songs. If she's making the songs, AND doing the digital edits, then to me that's still all her. =P I guess that means her live performance is only only one part of a whole then, XD

  • @theoriginalksensei have you seen her live, or just watched live recordings?? I went to a show of hers in nashville and was blown away. of course it's not as "polished" as the albums, but it was amazing in it's own raw way. Recordings ive seen of her performances dont come close to experiencing it in person..

  • @theoriginalksensei The first live performance I saw from her was 'Just For Now' and I was blown away! Just her a keyboard and laptop. I actually LOVED that "version" of the song better than the album. Honestly, like many amazing talents she is better raw.

  • imogen heap,you are amazing.your the only artist that has music that THEY come up with and their managers just write up like nothing....you make me smile and cheer me up.i wish i personally knew you,but listening to your music makes me know something about you..everything about you is beautiful!!! your music,voice,looks,i love you SO much and i love your music!!!! thank you for making me happy :)

  • :D This song is the reason I listen to Immi! She is an amazing person! She deserves more recognition! This is probably one of my favorite songs by her, with Let Go and The Walk.

  • I LOVE DOING THE PART AT 2:14 :D

  • this is the best song on earth!!!! it makes you feel as if your floating on air or in heaven!

  • this song is love

  • how is 240p hq?

  • @SteveTwoTheO maybe he referred to the sound quality !!

  • Two people have no soul

  • @ceeerrl Two people simply cant relate to this song like we can :-) Either that or they just DONT understand music....

  • @ceeerrl Two people are gingers

  • @bigj123454321 My hair is naturally blonde, but it's turned a bit ginger after dying it brown, yet I love Imogen heap and have a soul. So watcha trying to say buddy?

  • I would leave crisp note footprints at the bankside (I love her lyrics)

  • When I hear this song, I just get happy and start to dance. Even if I'm having a bad day. Simple as that.

  • Comment removed

  • Yet again, another great and uplifting track from Imogen. An extremely gifted talent. Her music is very very interesting to listen to. One of the very few artists to uplift her listeners. She's lovely!

  • I LOVE the ambient sounds, its beautiful! The groups really talented!!!!

  • Do what you want, just how you like. I think that speaks for the goal of humanity itself. We don't REALLY want friends and partners, we just want to do what God would have us do as INDIVIDUALS. A beautiful theme from a beautiful song and woman.

  • @birdsandbugs1 No, that is a horrible idea. Putting your words in God's mouth and then ignoring everyone else's needs and desires is actually the definition of the worst kind of asshole.

  • @hymnofashes

    aaaamen lmao

  • @birdsandbugs1 So you're saying my best friend, the person I put my every heart and soul into for, I don't actually care about? Someone told me I should be friends with her ? ¬.' If I take the bullet for her for the hell of it, and don't care, I'll be rather surprised. Besides, gods words are human words. god can't speak lmao.

  • my fav song by her yet!!

  • love it love it deep down to the core

  • Not comparing them, but afraid to say this due to the risk of being flamed. I love both Imogen Heap and Owl City because they both have emotional music that can relate to everyday things, similar in some ways but yes they are to very different artists. But Love them both.

  • she is a musical goddess she is beautiful

  • i love the vioin in the song, it might even be a cello! My FAvoRItE <3

  • i don't know why but everytime i listen to her music, my hair would stand.

  • I'm Pakistani, and this song strikes such a familiar chord in my heart. Reminds me of home. Great song, probably one of my favorite from the albm.

  • @BreakneckWalrus YES! You hear iit!! How awesome is it that she diid that. ii LOvE those vocals that she does wiith hiim :)

  • so amazing and unlike what everyone else is doing, most now have auto-tunes but imogen heap has real instruments, and thought into their music... SO AMESOME! <3

  • you guys love awesome music like imogen heap check out these other new artist and songs you will love artist 1 mesh-song friends like these artist 2 good natured-song body is a machine/kingdom artist 3 work of art-song why do I?/cover me artist 4 fireflight-song you decide/unbreakable artist 5 skillet-song rebirthing artist 6 la roux-song bullet proof/i'm not your toy artist 8 elizabeth south-song someday/have faith artist 9 imogen heap-headlock/tidal artist 10 lights-songs savior/second go
  • does anybody know where she is from

  • @ymca1234smallmac london :3

  • Comment removed

  • Ellipse was a KILLER album. This song was one of the best.

  • @Qwentry101 OMG YEAH!!!

  • this is SO goooooood!!!!!

  • I always seem to find her new albums by accident. I walk along and then for some random reason glance over at the CD section. (I rarely ever buy CDs.) Sitting on the shelf would be her new CD and of course I buy it :D It these happy little treasures that can turn a bad day to beauty. <3

  • That's it! Now I've gotta buy the Ellipse CD, this one's too good not to. Haven't heard a bad track yet. Nice!

  • I severely love this woman..

  • whoa that beginning is like going on an amazing roller coaster, and falling off but not caring... that was awesome!

  • man, if only more artists could be more like imogen heap... ooozing with talent and originality...

  • she's so creative..

  • and srry by my english ;)

  • she makes me cry, her song is beautiful and i havent cried in 3 years lol may god bless her even more than she already is with her awesome voice and creativity

  • @ben401334 Especially around 2:10 till about 2:30 i juss get ssso0o moved by her...

  • i love you

  • i love imogen heap :D does anyone know what this song is about?

  • @lucygirleen It's a girl saying "Can't you feel the chemistry in the air between me and you? We're both tidal (meaning emotions rushing like an ocean tide). Give in to it. Pleeeease give in". Very clever songwriting.

  • she does all the sounds by herself

  • I juss wanna say THANK YOU to the FANS! You guys understand what she's tryna say in her music. From Headlock, The walk, Sweet Religion, down to Let Go and Tidal. Everything has a meaning in her music, even the little bits and breaths she throws in there. Im proud to be a part of a group that truly KNOWS music...Go Imogen Heap, YOU ROCK!

  • @HeartSociety I agree! I may be young but i can tell, Imogen heap deserves so much praise.Shes so inspiring; her voice, her instrument playing. I don't know what I would have done if I never heard her music. So much heart and soul into each song; That's why this album toke so long to make, because she makes sure every song is perfect and has care all the way through it. And I agree, This generation doesn't know music until they have heard her lovely enchanting voice :) Immi, Your amazing.

  • Beautiful song with definite Indian influence in background vocals... pure awesomeness :)

  • it actually took a long time to perfect this song and wow, she did a perfect job.

  • I'd love to comment on how much I love this song and every other single by Imogen Heap, but nothing I say will do her justice. I would seriously be stuck for what to listen to if I couldn't listen to her. There's no question about it; she's a pure genius.

  • I don't know if it's just me but I see most her songs have a very..Final Fantasy game mood. I could play 1 of those games with carefully selected tracks from her albums and I'd love it...

  • @Camanchy

    I heard she used an actual gameboy sound in this song. (0:31) or something like it.

    Her music doesn't remind me of games though, (well except Swoon which reminds me of Pokemon but only because I played it for days while listening to that song nonstop hah!).

    Like ArivainHlaenddare said, they remind me more of those times when you wake up from a sweet dream and the day is an easygoing blissful sunny comforting morning and you feel like everyone is at peace and love is in abundance.

  • Probably my favorite song on the album.

  • imogens just so rare, shes amazing

  • i think it is one of her smartest and nicest songs (the modulated vocal and the quiter third chorus - hey, nice) except the ending which sounds too rock-wannabe to me.

  • I ending is my favorite part, lol...

  • This song is like a dream to me. I love it.

  • @Vithehumanoid

    I think a lot of her songs feel like dreams. It's great to listen to her music early in the morning, especially when waking up.

  • This is one of the best song I've heard in years - Imogen is such a huge talent. Please marry me Imogen...

  • this song makes me flyyyyyyyy

    well, not literally 'flyyyy' to the sky,

    but my mind DOES really flllyyyyyyy !!

    i'm just soo excited,

    I am an indonesian,

    and she'll very soon come to held a concert here!

    I have to admit, although in past one, two years ago i've dfinitely heard about her, but it's AFTER I bought her Ellipse album two days ago, that I really, really KNOW & started to really appreciate how vast, wide, very-talented & super creative, imaginative person she is!

  • i cant stop listening to this song!

  • Me either!

  • CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HER TOMORROW IN LEEDS! EEEPS! n_n

  • i love her so much. she's my inspiration. she's so talented!

  • the raga chorus in the middle has added flavor to the song... so did the Indian flute and strings....

  • grammy :D

    strange that I love every song equally o_O

  • i absolutely love this song. i recorded a cover of it and would love if you'd stop by and let me know what you think. thanks!

    go immi!!

  • OMG this cd is so addictive. Its like a drug I cant get enough of it. this cd made me love imogen heap sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooo much more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OMGGGGGGGGGGG

    there is a sort of indian touch to it!!!!!!! I LOVE IT.

    i love her. marchhhhhhhh see her live <3

  • @niknetball

    WHERE? :)

  • @niknetball ik!!!

  • I love her music. It is so fresh and uplifting. Like a sunny day, a field of flowers, sun dresses...You get the picture.

    if I'm having a bad day, this woman's brilliant talent can always perk me up and put me in a better mood.

  • yup,..that's the power of what great music & talent can really do! :)

  • @beautifulxface It isnt music for bad days, sad ppl and etc.! I love to listen this during walk with my dog or just when im relaxin or doin anything, it always makes me feel better. Its not for bad days, atleast not for sad and depressed ppl.

  • @JSMRAP correction it isnt ONLY music for bad days, sad ppl and etc but it really does bring me up now and then when i am sad and on bad days

  • By far my favorite song on this entire album. :D

  • she is by far my favorite female artist and i love her voice sooo much!

    i miss the frou frou days

  • @deadlikejulio Me too and same here!

  • by far the best song on the album. i'm absolutely in love with it!

  • I think its adorable that people nickname Imogen Heap Immy :).

    I loveee this song!! God, I hope I get this CD for Christmas

  • @maplesyrup234 It was a family thing. People didnt come up with it. They just compfortable calling her by it.

  • seriously, Im cryting..Idk, i juss really love immi..Her lyrics just drive me insane. I connect with every vocal and I know exactly why she wrote the song. I feel like she's singing only to me..Not alwayys about me but uuuggghhh I LOVE YOU IMMI. Been following since IMegaphone...

  • god! this music inspires me so much! X3 i love it!

  • I want to buy the CD!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You know something is good when people still want to buy the CD despite the ability to download it online for free.

  • Yeah! Imogen is amazing!!!!

    We should all support her by buying her CDs, otherwise she will never be motivated to produce all this wonderful and beautifiul songs!!!!!!

    Support Imogen Heap!!!!

  • We should all support the artist we love most!!!!

    Otherwise they will not make this amazing music and the world will be bleak!!!

    Support Imogen Heap, I know I will . . .

    Can't wait for my CD to arrive!!!!

  • @DonnaaPinciotti i know, totally true. i just bought justin beebers even though youtube has all his videos anyway. BAY-BEH Bay_BEH......

  • @joeglimmix ...sorry, what? ...did you burn it after you bought it? please tell me you're being sarcastic...the guy was referring to "good music"...Justin 'beeber' is only good music in the "good for summoning demons" sense...and believe me, put one o' them fuckers on during a seance, shit goes down. So yes thank you, I'll listen to Imogen Heap for now instead of demonizing 8 year-olds trying to subvert the popular music culture.

  • @ripstick91 Are you serious about that? The seance thing and mainstream music, I mean.

  • @ripstick91 justin bieber loves imogen heap.

    deal with it

    theyre both fantastic singers.

  • @DonnaaPinciotti i bought it on cd cause i couldnt wait(i moved and i had for my stuff to be delivered, including my comp that has itunes) the downloaded it on my ipod !!!!!

  • @DonnaaPinciotti Yeah, I bought all her albums even though I had the choice to download the songs.

    That proves how great she is ;)

  • @DonnaaPinciotti i hate illegal downloads xD

    It annoys me that people DL imogens music even though you can get it on her OHP for about £5....

    THat's like 1 hour minimum wage -_-

  • @SleepyFroggy: TImes 91,000

  • @blkmarket666 Yeah, maybe if they bought it she could do a date in the west midlands with the cash...

  • Most of the noises are reversed, lol XD, makes it so cool.

  • This song put me into an abstract state of mind.

  • Aren't all states of mind abstract?

  • Yeah you're right.

    I guess what I was trying to say is that this song puts me in my own mind. Isolating myself from the physical world. Something like that.

  • i completely understand and agree with you it brings me to this kind of fantasy art -esque world inside my self. ah i love it &hearts;

  • My favorite song of the Ellipse's album. Just a beautiful sound and an amazing song!

  • According to Immi, it's her favorite song on the album as well. :)

  • LOL if you stare at it long enough it does look like its moving :P

  • I love this song. Uhm..ok so is it just me or does her mouth in that picture move slightly throughout the vid? Its tripping me out LOL. Maybe im just going insane :P

  • just you

  • @missasweets Guess it's just some kind of illusion or something XD I don't see it :P

  • The beginning is beautiful. I love this song. I feel like I'm in a different world when I hear it.

  • The whole song is beautiful!! XD

  • same here :D

  • I like songs like this from her..

  • amazing instrumentals at the beginning(:

  • I know It got my attention.

    o:

  • omgoodness yes, so great for driving, i hit the gears crazy sometimes, and sometimes i just cruise. and this best song on track i listen several times ina row

  • awesome song for driving :]

  • i love imogen heap AND miley cyrus :D . i loveee every type of music! Imogen heap's new album is amazing !

  • This song reminds me so much of her songs in Frou Frou.

  • it's so sad that MIA's videos get so many more than Imogen's. The two don't even belong in the same category. One is a true artist, and the other could better serve society by jumping off of a roof.

  • SO true!

  • But then again it's even MORE sad that all the dumb songs like party in the usa (XP) get even MORE views!! Seriously, at least Imogen HAS real talent.

  • yeah it's sad, but what to do..

    sometimes, that's just how the world works..

    it has beenmy own experiences in observation, that these "mainstream" people/audience usually can't really understand, and differentiate between what's REAL talents & what's the mimick/copycat, or good-looking only artists.

  • WWOOOO im finally buying a car on Sat and im stilll decidin on wht song should be the first song i play in my car. Headlock or Tidal....eeerrrrr idk wht to do??? I LOVE BOTH!!!

  • Tidal

  • hahahah yeah i got my car yesterday and i ended up playing 'The Walk'....lol, Speak for Yourself is my favorite album...

  • tidal.. no doubt... its perfect for driving

  • hahahaha i know...u should see me in my car...hahah even first train home is a good 1...and lets not even get into how i almost got into an accident jammin to loose ends,,,,

  • Tidal. Definitely. It's so much more cheery.

  • haha 'Bad Body Double' is fun....

  • I have a song named "Tidal" too.

    guess we're song twins now.

    I love IMMI

  • I agree! And the beats she creates are amazing. It's just how she makes her songs sound catchy and ethereal at the same time.

  • I'm so stoked - just got 4 tix for the SF show. Can't believe how cheap they were. I'm surprised Immi isn't famous, cuz she's practically the best thing since the Beatles, but I ain't complaining!

    Really, has this much skill and talent EVER come out of a woman of such wonderful character in this modern age?

    Often, at the end of a Heap song, I'm floored, speechless, jaw dropped, huge sigh....which used to happen to me as a kid listening to Hendrix or Floyd.

    THANK YOU I LOVE YOU IMMI!!!!!!!!!

  • ME TOOOO. welll not in sf but if i still lived in cali i would. but i found tickets for her show ON MY BIRTHDAY. it'll b the best present everrrrrr...

  • she needs to do a collab with anamanaguchi... id die of happiness..

  • craziest thing just happened to me. im listening to this song because it was sugested on a kate havnevik song. so anyway it reminds me of some song ive heard befor (mind you ive never heard of this artist) so i go find the song i thot i heard which was from the holiday when amanda and jude laws character meet at a litttle bar. so that songs called let go. i listen to that and i see that imogen heap also sings that song 2.. crazy no wonder her voice reminded me off the song

  • she also sings another song in the holiday called goodnight and go, listen to that, its amazing and so is the song hide and seek by her. listen to that. you may recognize it from the new song whatcha say by jason derulo but trust me this original version is way btr

  • going to see her for the first time on my b'day. greatest gift ever!!!!

  • Love love LOVEEE this song!

    Especially the last 50 seconds.

  • She's a brilliant, tallented woman.

    I admire her so much for her bravery and her outstanding work. (:

    Keep it on, Immy!

  • possibly my favorite off the album. luckily i got the one with the instrumental and the original. YEAH IMMI

  • One of my favorite off the incredible new album! :) Wish I were half as talented as Imogen

  • i love how her mind works.

  • reallly good song loveing the violin

  • you mean the instrument at the beginning and with middle bits and at the end? i play violin and to my ear that sounds a bit more like a cello maybe a viola

  • she made all this herself...

    you gotta give her huge amounts of credit!

    No matter how hard people try to compare her to other female artists...they wont be able to!

    She is BRAVE and in a totally different league to any artists; male or female!

    Luv u Immi !

  • well said, well said :)

  • I've been raving about Immi all over youtube. You are so right. My friends don't believe me when I say she's the best thing since The Beatles. (They didn't have classical training on 4 instruments plus voice. She will prove to be one of the great ones, in the history of ALL music. She could sing opera, write symphonies (like Cumulus) or whatever she wants, cuz she's THAT skilled and veratile and THAT running over with musical ideas.

    She's creating her own genre of music.

  • Actually, I believe Cumulus was composed by someone else, but she played all the instruments.

  • Any idea who DID compose it? To my ear, it so sounds like her, especially the ending.

  • i love the very end.

    the last bit is the best.

  • Wow, no matter what anyone says, she has one of the most haunting, unique, gorgeous voices I've ever come across in my life.

    No matter where I go her voice sticks in my head because it's so haunting.

    Their lyrics mean so much, yet nothing at all.

    Make you feel confused, yet happy.

    Lifts your spirit, yet lulls you to sleep.

    Nothing compares to her amazing voice <3

    Thank you for sharing your gift!

  • i love all her songs! this album rocks!!!

  • You know why I dont get? All these totally underrated musicians that make their own music and are so unique are in the shadows of people like Hannah Montana and Britney Spears?

    Imogen Heap is the perfect example of raw talent.

  • it is not over now... i trust imogens star will rise earlier or later.

  • Have you heard that chart topping excuse for a song that samples Imogen's 'mmm whatcha say' (I forget the name of the song that put it in since it is trash haha). She gets continuous exposure.

    Her 'Bad Body Double' was just in the latest episode of Heroes.

  • yeah,..i know, it's sad, but what to do..

    sometimes, that's just how the world works..

    it has been my own experiences in observation, that these "mainstream" people/audience usually *can't* really understand, and differentiate between what's REAL talents & what's the mimick/copycat, or good-looking only artists.

  • @nikiwonoto :

    Everything in this world is an opinion. If someone likes something you think is "mimick/copycat" or "only good looking", it doesn't mean that they are talentless. Not everyone can copy talent and be good at it--isn't that in itself a form of talent?

    Everyone works hard at what they do, mainstream or otherwise. Everyone has an opinion, and everyone likes something. Everyone is unique. As long as people are creating, and people are loving the results, why can't we all be happy?

  • she is absolutely brilliant.

  • This is by far my favorite on the album.

  • Yay! I'm so glad I finally found this song!

    I've only heard this about 2-3 times, but it's already one of my favorites from Imogen.

    xx

  • I was the opposite--- heard the clip and couldnt wait to buy the CD so i could listen to it. best song on the album--- shes so genius
