Hide And Seek - Imogen Heap Lyrics

[ChuckTestas]

2:52

You're welcome

[DeDeCrazyMeh]

some of yall folks neeed to stop youtube thuggin

[xXxBritterCritterxXx]

@darklightundead haha well at least that's closer to my native american idea than it being about a divorce :)

[xXxBritterCritterxXx]

@Ramen86861 Really?! Some told me it was about the Native Americans so I believed them cause it kind of makes sense. Ya know since the whites "decided" to push them off their land even though "they were there first". But I guess I was wrong. Haha :D

[darklightundead]

@xXxBritterCritterxXx and Ramen86861 ur both wrong its about the Holocaust.

[TheInsanePurpleKind]

@darklightundead In an interview I heard she said that it was about a divorce.

[darklightundead]

@TheInsanePurpleKind well, I've heard all three theory's-(Holocaust, Divorce, and Native Americans)-and for me it seems like the Holocaust one fits the best not the divorce one.

[TheInsanePurpleKind]

@darklightundead Well it can be whatever you would like it to be about, and yes I do agree it is the about holocaust, I was only stating I heard it was about a divorce(:

[thatsjustwhoweare]

Haha my boyfriend told me to listen to listen to this song and now its 'our' song ha I really like it! :)

[Ramen86861]

Continued- just wanting to hide until someone finds him when everything blows over. I know because I went through the exact same thing when I was little and Imogen said it was about her parents divorce in an interview cuz people thought it was the holocaust

[Ramen86861]

Its about a kid going through a divorce. Crushed dreams. Trains and Sewing machines are the desire to travel and create. Taken furniture and paintings off the wall are the crop circles and oily marks. The kid can't understand why they're divorcing and the mother can't explain it "mm that you only meant well, well of course you did, etc." All through this the kid doesn't want to face reality and just play hide and seek forever

[Kaleighofficially]

Very Nice Job!!

I Love This Song!!! :D

[HannahAndSadie]

i still don't think jason derulo should have used this song in his.

[disneygymnast101]

20 likes and my best friend and i will do a cover of this song

[Sailormoonlovers101]

this is how i felt when i was pushed by a boyfriend of mine into the river we fought a bit and he finally got mad and pushed me into he river i was drowning i was just seeing myself float to the bottom of the river it was lies that he loved me is when i found out later he loved me for my beauty but not my state of mind i hate him now they send him to jail for almost Killing me

[MissusSmo]

My interpretation of this song is that she is a mother, perhaps one going through a nasty divorce or just single and struggling. Child services (or the estranged husband) has just come for her children. They are gone, and the mother is left alone, watching the dust collect around the house, watching her children's toys left still. She remembers hide-and-seek, and relives it through this song, hoping it all to be a big game, and her beloved children are still there, but she knows they're gone.

[LadyLuck282]

personally, i prefer this version! well... actually, I'm not a fan of rap, but I'm not crazy about this song either. comparing only the "mmm whatcha say", i like this version better. it's slower and fuller.

[dani75264]

woahhh



[piglet2247]

i-3it!

[xFlyingThroughTimex]

My dog died on November 7th.. This song reminds me of our reactions along with hers. She was the best dog ever. Her name was Ollie, and she was a bordercollie at the age of 6..

R.I.P Ollie, 05-11

[AquaWolfie51]

@xFlyingThroughTimex Most people take animals forgranted, i am not one of those people either :3

[DorkyBelle]

this song makes me want to do a twisted dance and make it a musical number in a fucked up musical, which is awesome BTW! ♥♥♥♥ I love her voice she makes me feel like nothing can harm me♥ Beautiful♥

[mazxxxz]

best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!



[GirsCannibalCupcake]

[AvaSpencerWAEFM]

It makes me sad..... And amazed

[13paparazi]

imogen heap is good but ariana grande (osnapitzari) sings this on her channel and i think she kinda does it a little better than them in the begining until the hmm whatchya say to the end there equal but i think ariana is a litte better.

[funnyman1995103]

2:50= probably the most populare moment in this song

[AvaSpencerWAEFM]

SOOOOOOOOOO excited right now! I never knew Imogen sang this! I thought to hear this song, I'd have to buy Jason Derulo crap! Thank God for Imogen Heap! <3

[harryporkermovies]

[TavoQiqe]

I can't stop listening to this song

[Dylanloverize]

Shudnt it be Fall not form? the dust 

[Pcrazx]

Who thinks that Jason Derulo should have just left the verse he took, instead of changing the last line of it. <333

[mycomicsrock1568]

i love this part at 2:49

[mycomicsrock1568]

i love this part at 2:49

[Gingerkyokitty]

good stuff starts at 2:49.

[Dimthingy]

@Icecube1370 you spelled "apear" when it should be "appear"

[Icecube1370]

@Dimthingy Please understand that it's not that I don't know how to spell; it's that I had to sit in front of a computer for about 2 and a half hours typing and editing the whole video. If I want to fix it, I have to put a big ugly annotation box over it or re-upload an altered version. It's irritating to receive a comment that points out tiny flaws in something that requires this much time and effort, so please don't do it to someone else.

[Dimthingy]

@Icecube1370 I just wanted to point it out if you didn't see it already. Sorry for offending you.

[Icecube1370]

@Dimthingy It's not your fault, I'm a bit hot-headed when it comes to things like this. It's just I already had about the same comment some while ago and it just ticked me off. I shouldn't of posted anything back.

[Pcrazx]

@Icecube1370 it is "The dust has only just begun to **fall** " instead of **form**

[xXGrimReaperrXx]

@Icecube1370 Hihi i'm hot headed too XD

[BobTimeIsNow]

@Icecube1370 You spelled apere wrong

[SkateboarderTV]

@BobTimeIsNow So did you.

[tyler225905]

@Dimthingy 2:51

[gothbabii188]

im getting a baby sibling possibly and i think i'll use this as a lullaby some time cuz its so great :)))

[Courtnerz]

Makes me wanna cry lol its so beautiful and sad and pretty:)

[UnitedStatesofLizzie]

I love this song to death. It calms me down, along with a lot of Imogen's songs. :D

[TheDinosaursGoRawrXD]

Jason Derulo didn't steal it. I love both songs. But, Imogen Heap obviously let him use it, so he didn't steal it. Ya'll need to chill.

[XsoEmiXD]

when I heard that Jason Derulo stole that part for "watcha say" , I thought how unfair it was, this song is completely about a different thing and not just about a girlfriend or something while she's talking about a topic much deeper about life. It's unbelievable how much this song relates to me , and the song "whatcha say" I no loger respect becaue it's Imogen Heap's and he stole it.

[SingDanceCheer56]

tears and hearts cuz its sad u dont care a bit cuz they dont its alll for the best well thats what they said but no.. u decided this cuz they did.. u only meant well of course u did she is saying of course you did sarcasticallythats my explanation sorry its long..@MRiPwn3d

[SingDanceCheer56]

..also blood i think u know why... this cant be happening hold thier heads heavy cuz theyre sad..hide and seek because there hiding dont want to get found but they do sometimes...all those years they were here first because they were here just like everyone else then they just got ripped from their houses and killed..the takover the sweeping insensitivity of this. they tookover which is just insensitivity of the still life because now there dead.. and whatcha say u only meant well.. i think.next

[SingDanceCheer56]

It's about the holocoust (sorry if I spelled that wrong).because it says "where are we whats going on" they are taken away to consentration camps and their furniture is taken and the home is left to rot like crop circles in the carpet and oily marks appear on walls where there used to be pleasure moments but now its empty silent sad.then it says trains and sewing machines trains cuz there hidin and trying to get away and sewing machines because they have too make there own clothes..next comment

[chocolateface628]

@xXFalconXx Hey dats sooo clever!!

:) 

[FunnyLaughingOutLoud]

I love this song!!!

[kingdomjacko]

Stop bitching about Jason Derulo sampling this song,I prefer Hide and Seek, but I would've never have found it if it weren't for him and neither would alot of people.

[MRiPwn3d]

Does anybody know the meaning of the song? Or what their opinions of it? I'm speechless at the moment...

[xXFalcon99Xx]

@MRiPwn3d This song is about a couple who's relationship ended faster than they expected. And the guy left the lady's home, "Crop Circles In The Carpet" = Taken Furniture, "Oil Marks On The Walls" = Taken Picture Frames, This lady is just in so much denial and is very confused with what just happened. The guy said something to the lady before leaving, but the lady never heard what it was, and is trying to ask the guy "Whatcha Say?" But is unable to get through to him.

[chibigoth15]

@MRiPwn3d From what I read, it's based on one of the band mates parents divorcing.

[CollaborationSeries]

This song always makes me think about the person I like at the time. No matter who it is. Such a beautiful song.

[ihavevocaloid]

Forget about whatcha say! pretend that this song is the only one that exists! jason derulo should have made new words!

[ihavevocaloid]

2005 to July 2009 was so good! People then heard whatcha say by j.d. and really freaked out when they heard the imogen heap sample!

[luckyducky575]

evrywhere i go there is always hate comments why cant we just stay in peace stupid haterz!!! thats all im hating on :D

[EnragedScreams]

I don't get this song. But it's good.

Honestly, the only part I like about this song is when they start singing 'mmmm whatcha say' =D

[NiemaIna]

Jason Derulo is not a liar, because he never claimed the verses. He got permission&paid for them. Imogen even said so:

"Jason Derulo had my permission. Love or hate me for it - Hide and Seek has a life of it's own. I love it's madcap journey x."

So how about you all enjoy this song and stop being angry that he 'stole it'. Instead, critique how effectively he uses it compared to Imogen.

I love this song more but would rather not see all of her 'fans' complaining about her decision. ;)

Good video.

[EviTheFox]

@NiemaIna thx for clearing the that up, i thought he stole it too but i didnt hate him for it, but still now i know that he was given permission and paid for it! :D

[MrTinyMicro]

Jason Derulo needs to start being original, Imogen heaps' version is so much better then "Watcha Say". He's just another pop artist that randomly sprung out with something without even thinking of what people would think. I'm starting to hate society's 2011 artist. They need to start revealing more artist like imogene heap.

[MrTinyMicro]

@MrTinyMicro imogene*

[imlagginit]

ppl Jason Derulo paid money to put this in his song so stop complainin

[Huskypeter24]

screw jason derulo



[atixairbie7]

dude this makes me cry ..



[kitchsc]

2:49 dear sister

[LinaMusic4]

This song is nothing but gorgeous It always leaves me speechless

[LinaMusic4]

This song is nothing but speechless always leaves me speechless

[OneDropOfWaterTVLOL]

If he spelled wrong the right way then it would be right not wrong

[tapixt]

I love the harmonies in this song SO MUCH.

[TheAnshey]

who were the other vocals? they did an amzing job too!

[atixairbie7]

@TheAnshey its only one voice

[TheAnshey]

@atixairbie7 she must've then like used the chorus effect, right? or recorded her voice many times and played it together...

[atixairbie7]

@TheAnshey she uses a piano connected directly to effects

[GV511]

jason derulo anyone?

[AlanisLaughsAlot]

I love this song. It's soo hard to attempt to sing this song. It's too amazing.

[M4I5t0]

awesome!!!

[casarela11]

i like this song ^.^ tyvm degrassi lol

[AmeliaLidstrom]

this song is incredible. pure genius. I absolutely love it. it takes me to a different place. I have an a capella cover of this on my page...if you want you should check it out, it's totally worth your time. thanks a ton. peace

[cheeseball49]

Jason just had to ruin this. She sings this way better.

[Roselupin13]

Thumbs up if you think rappers shouldn't steal good songs and use them in their crap!

[iloveteentitansmore]

@Roselupin13 Did you ever stop and think Jason durelo actualy like the song?

[Roselupin13]

@iloveteentitansmore Yes, but did YOU ever stop and think that rappers need to use their own inspiration and not use other songs to be popular?

I know, hard concept.

[iloveteentitansmore]

@Roselupin13 Did YOU ever THINK it was his INSPIRATION!

[cherries976]

@Roselupin13 he didnt steal it he asked permission

[Danniel1397]

I remeber hearing this sing wayyyyyy before that jason derulo faggot ruined this song-_-

[MozzzyBit3]

[JordanAshley1997]

[isingstuff123]

[superspaz333]

This song is so sad i nearly cried

[TheAnshey]

love the song...but could have been better with a little guitar...JUST saying. anyone knows the meaning of this song?

[TheAnshey]

someone shud put some soft guitar to it...but AWESOME SONG!!!

[inhumanundead]

2 people just listened to the crappy Derulo version.

[TheDeadlysting]

imogen heap is awesome, and jason derulo ruined te cover.

i think the best part of this song is just the sound of the voice and the harmony =)

[Presto77777]

@TheDeadlysting its all autotuned its not his real voice idiot but it still sounds good i agree there.

[TheDeadlysting]

@Presto77777 lol first of all change he to she, and i can tell that, i'm not reatarted. . .are you?

[mewchara]

@mattstephens321 I wouldn't really say that...but i do believe Jason Derulo is a copier, even though he probably go permission by Imogen Heap to re-make that part of the song and make his own version.

[Minzey1213]

@mewchara Yeah, but Mr. Derulo got a lot more credit for it then they did...

[mewchara]

@Minzey1213 Yeah..which is bull crap because Imogen Heap...is WAYYY better...well thats what i think...

[Minzey1213]

@mewchara agreed.

[mewchara]

[PixieStickz00]

IMOGEN HEAP! FTTTWWW!!!!! x] x] Lve this soong <3

[purplehatboii]

@schmatzaaa technically he dint cover it. he used part of the song for his own, if he had covered it. then the song would be exactly the same. also he must have aske the record labels permission first other wise it wouldn't have been able to do it

[HMMcConnell]

this is the most annoying song ever...i hate how slow it is... XD good job tho lol

[VampireNekoAi]

My wifey Sarah let me listen to this.. and I cried. (It didn't help that I was feeling bad either.) It's beautiful. <3 I listen to it now and I think of her.
