I love first train home it's an awesome song. I enjoyed every song off the album. keep it up Imogen you can be one of the greatest ever!!!! Go Immi you know what whoever put a thumbs down i just think your moronic and need to open your eyes to new music. i want to act violent towards you for putting a thumbs down on this video.
Imogen, I love your music. I believe you are an INCREDIBLY talented woman. I enjoy how true and original your sounds are and have absolutely fallen in love with your music. That being said, as TLW91 stated, I as well did not care for either candidate. I guess what trubles me the most is when musicians, or artists for this matter, step out from that neutral realm. I wish I could just watch a movie or hear a song without worring about an artists political view. I respect you, and...I LOVE YOU!
Meh, don't worry about other's opinions about the president. We all have our own opinion. I wasn't really rooting for either president, but someone's got to take the job, right? You're an amazing artist! I love your music, God bless you and keep you. :D
oh Immi please come to Scotland! i have been waiting so long for you to come but you never do! please Imogen it would mean the world to me and my friends! your our idol! i love you because your so rare and unique unlike some common singers out there! oh please come to Scotland soon! i dont want to never see you! your song "Rake It In" is the best ive ever heard! especially when you scream in the middle of it! soo dramatic! btw that hairstyle is my fave one thats worn by you! love you Immi!
immi!! I am no computer programmer but I can build you a speardsheet to semi-reference program to keep track of the data. More of a Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Access type dealy. Lemme know!
I love the freedom and just "live for the moment" way of taking a simple melody and making it something on the spot... kinda like the improvising jazz musicians, only with your indie style! I love your work.
I had no idea that you did video blogs! I have been completely enamored with your music for years now and you've always been this anonymous person who is just lovely and talented... and I can't believe that suddenly I can see you like we're just having a chat or something.
Thanks for doing this :D I love it - you are much more real to me now.
I LOVE the charity idea. I think you'll find a lot of fans buying ALL the impromptu songs and helping charities worldwide.
Hi!!, I'm Very Intresting On Your Record!, Is A Pleasure To Meet You,For What I Have Seen By Now You Try Different Things That A Lot Of Mucisians Don't Do, I LIKE IT!!
PS;Sorry For My English,I Hope You Understand What I Just Said,Happy Birthday By The Way!!
Obama might send a feeling to change to the world,but Change isn't just a feeling for us republicans. I don't know. A can of worms that are precieved different to different people.
I'm a wedding photographer... when I'm staring blankly at 2000 wedding photos with no motivation to begin editing them, I open up your video blogs & re-watch them, or just leave them running in the background so I can listen to them while I work. You sharing the creative process always helps get me into the mood to produce beautiful art. So, you inspire me. Just wanted to let you in on that, and say thanks!
hey I'm going to school in the states for audio engineering and I was wondering if you could tell me the dynamic processing you use on your hide and seek song. I know there are two versions of them, but they are both so different. Also do you run things through outboard gear or plugins mostly?
have a very good year.that year i finished university, got a job, moved to a nice flat. I think i have never had that comfortable feeling in my stomach before, and ever since. Well it wasn't hangover I'm sure. We had these weak and greyish lights all around, it was way cold outside, noone was on the streets. typical hungarian emptyness on a day that itself is the emptiest of the year. It gives me chills. Just wanted to thank you for this. Waiting for my experience with the first train home....
Let me tell you a story. Two years ago, on new year's day i have been wandering through the Netz for new music. And i have been looking genre generators, and one of them offered you when i was looking for Björkish music. It was around 2 am, that was when I got up after a huge party. Me and my GF deceided to throw out our xmas tree. That was the first time in my life when I actually had a nice time doing this. I felt soo cozy with her, and i felt like i was going to..
You are seriously the most fascinatingly unique person I think I have ever seen. I absolutely adore your music and your creativity. You sure know how to brighten my day Imogen- thanks!
what a fantastic idea, the whole making a song on the spot thing. fans would love it i have no doubt. and the charity thing, will u ever stop being so brilliant?
Hi there Imogen. Loving what you're coming up with. Still following you and your work very closely. I think people get sick of listening to me talk about you lol!!
I thought I'd let you, and everyone who reads this know about a glass harmonica was invented in the 18th century. Not too sure about the dtails but here's a link to a YouTube video you might be interested in. I'm sure you've come across it before.
everytime i watch your videos i learn something new: this time it's the glass harmonica! i am still in love with your hang; i need to go get one of those
great job thinking about the charity; you are a role model! with your constant push for creativity and ... simply put, your joyfulness comes across even in a recording. can't wait for your album!
Imogen, you are so funny!!! This v-blog really cracked me up. Also, your striving for constant creativity is a wonderfully inspiring thing. You are fantastic! The charity idea is great too!!
Oh and because everyone else is commenting on politics why not me... I liked both McCain and Obama, I thought both were gentlemen who really did have their country's best at heart...opposed to the current one who seems to be more of a puppet put in place by corporations to promote their own self interest. I sad that on the same day California voted against same sex unions. The world's 7th largest economy just ratified discrimination and that saddens me.
Take your time with the album Imogen, we will wait eagerly, and we know it will be really great. we all love what we've heard so far so keep it up, and even if you fall behind again that's ok cause by the looks of it, it's almost all nearly done anyway!
Immi dear, you are just amazing a true pure heart and soul you have. Your idea with "Project M" and everything else is brilliant! This will be another tough challenge for you, but I know you will pull through and if I can do anything to help I will. Bless you sweet heart we love you!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Jesus!Immi could of had two babies during the course of this lenghthy creative errr...What would you call it?Burst?That's why I switched over to Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn as they seemingly fart out beautiful songs in their sleep.I love you Immi,but the world won't wait forever.XX
Concerning your reply,bethalexandrataylor.MIA:Sentence structure,two commas,one apostrophe,at least five capitalizations.What you do have is a nagging view that Immi and Jack are somehow unequal(Go Obama)As Immi says "Pay close attention,".Also Nataly Dawn taught me a song(or two).........So So Sorry from the British Education Society...Clifford
whereamigoingnow reply - actually the world would wait forever if people like you werent here. who the heck is Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte? they sound so old fashioned like from the '50s!
If you wind up somewhere even in the VICINITY of Canada, I am flying out off my rock to see you. Just saying.
I think I need this new album like I need water. Or oxygen. You're probably the happiest person to be playing music on the entire planet. Please don't ever stop what you do. Ever.
I think your idea of associating with charities and doing improv in each city is just plain awesome! You can be sure that I'll download (legally of course!) every single one of them!
I LOVE First Train Home, and I can say that it'll probably be one of my favorite off the album.
I am PRAYING for you to come to Montréal, it would be fantastic!
Keep up the good work, and good luck on finishing the album. It's gonna be, from everything I heard off of it, just bloody awesome! Can't wait!
I never heard it in Full, but i love it. It´s gonna be my favivorite of your songs. And I like all off your songs. You have to hurry to finisch the new Cd ;)
Immi, singing the words "God Bless America" is the kindest thing you could have done. Regardless of the obvious political differences seen in the previous posts, I hope the one thing we can agree on is that our country needs all the blessings we can get. I know your heart is in the right place. Keep up the good work, I love your music!
Hey Immi.. I have been listening all day long 'first train home', i mean all 15 seconds of it from 8:30-8:45. i really really don't think that i can wait. :)
Keep up, and feel free to express whatever you think, i beleive this made you who you are...
this video was awesome!!!! i loved your costume, the side note at the bottom of the screen saying "i meant next train home" and also how you were saying Obama during the song! I mean seriously u are so awesome it's crazy. And i admire your wonderful talent.. musical genius, you are(attempt at yoda's wisdom)
Macain was way to scary, and when Palin opened her mouth nothing came out, even scaryer. And yes we won this time i just hope people realize it will take time to get out of the mess the republican party put our country and the world in. I pray the people will be patiant and give this man a chance. This also saya alot about how far weve come in America. Now i hope we get to my people next the native americans. keeping hope alive.
By the way everyone in America give it a rest, shes all about music not politics. Free country, so she chose Obama, way better then what you guys had before. Be happy and keep on saying no to war at the new president, peace.
Oh my god what a voice what a women, i think am in love. Please come back to London so i can hit on you lol. Super talent and an excellent idea, cant wait for your new stuff, love the way you use your voice with seriously good music.
Great idea for the improv songs/charity help! I'm sure the logistics can be figured out easily. As for politics and music; the two have always intertwined. World issues shape opinions and feelings that are expressed in art.
I am an American in London and ran in the pouring rain with the flu to get my vote to the post office (because I procrastinated). I laughed (and coughed) through the streets because I felt so good voting for Mr. Obama. So, I enjoyed this vlog! CD coming along beautifully!
They may also be able to send you snippets of sounds that they would like incorporated into the song then they could text you those sounds and you could do your jiggery pokery and incorpoate them with other people's sounds and suggestions. You can also ask people to record sounds of the town if they are going to see you and give you those sounds and that way it would be a true representation of the town you are playing in with the local town sounds making a local town song.
I love your ideas for audience input for shows. You could probably get people to text ideas to you from the crowd, that would be the easiest way to find out what people want. Put up a sign with a number they can text their suggestions to.
Although we dont share the same political views I still love you.
I did not vote for Obama and I am not even sure if I like him as a person, He still the President of the United States and that makes him my President. I am embarrassed by some Americans that think any different. Now it is my duty to pray for his protection and the protection of his family coupled with guidance and wisdom for our Nation.
P.S. - Isn't the Camden Opera House beautiful!? I played Lucientio in The Taming of the Shrew there two summers ago. Wow. I just realized we've stood on the same stage. Cool. Anyway, much love!
Hello dear Immi! Don't know if you'll read this, but if you do I'd like to thank you for your support of my country's next president. Yippee Obama! I realize though that a few (possibly many) of your viewers aren't as appreciative of that support. I doubt they'll be too hung up about it and if they are then it's really their problem anyway. I just want to reassure you that it's a good thing to be honest about your beliefs and values. This is YOUR "channel" of expression. Not mine. Not theirs.
I feel sorry for people who feel that all their favorite artists, artisans, and whatever must either conform to their political views or keep silent. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it doesn't make me any less appreciative of any artist if they choose to voice it.
Imogen, you're truely among the minority of talented artists. As an artist, your politics shouldn't suprise, but I prefer to be ignorant of that to enjoy art untarnished. I would love to have never watched this because now I fear I will always be distracted by your politics instead of being swept into your creativity. Change simply for the sake of change is never wise. Would you bring an unknown guest into your home just to create change?
Hey Immi! The improv sounds fantastic and a great way to get the creative juices going... and I TOTALLY could use a scream bag on occasion. :) Will you post any photos of the Heaper? :P That was great!
zomg Immi you started quite the debate lol! Anyways, everyone has a right to make their point, whether anyone agrees or not. It is how they deal with the reaction they get is what defines a part of their character. I'd say you are graceful :D
Grim Heaper is cool, Obama is probably gonna end up in loads of songs because you can rhyme it with many different words like drama, palaver, cadaver. Ops wait a minute, a step too far...
I think you're such a funny girl Immi! I do agree with you that Obama being elected is great stuff! Try not to scare the children with the Grim Heaper look! First train home is stuck in my head!
Everyone should check out her Twitter account... she highlights things that are mentioned in the blog BEFORE the blog is posted :)
And she's been mentioning "Swoon" quite a bit recently, which I HOPE is included in the next vblog because we haven't heard much of it... *HINT HINT, IMMI!
Hi imogen, i know this is really random, but i am a very random person. anyway, i think you should do a sort of enya/imogen song because that would be really cool and beautiful because you and enya are my favrat singers lol
aww another blog from the lovely imogen :) its so refreshing that an artist so aspiring still finds the time to keep her fans posted with the latest news on her career. keep them coming imogen. your my absolute idol :) and I know it's a long shot .. but any chance of coming to South Wales? I know a lot of people who would love to witness one of your amazing gigs, most of all me :D I would pay biggg money for you to get to Wales. please think on it :D love always, Rachel x
I think anyone who thinks Imogen wouldn't of favored Obama is kind of silly. Imogen conservative? LOL. Anyway, good luck on your new album imi, I hope everything pans out the way you like it.
A poor thing that this video is being bogged down by negative whining and are even being critical of Imogen for her plug. I voted for Obama, so hearing her say that was really great for me. I felt a huge amount of pride in America. I especially loved when she sang "OBAMA!" during the beat in her song. Thanks, Imogen, for the congratulations.
About 15 or 20 years ago went and saw these guys at the Commons at the University of Milwaukee. They had some reel to reels some keyboards and percussions and would make up stuff on the fly, looping it and just totally expressing themselves through there medium . It was great. If I ever got to see you perform live I would hope that it wouldn't sound like a reproduction of your cd's. Be an artist then a musician. Life is to shory to not express how you are feeling at the moment of a performance.
This country is still divided politically. Four years ago it was 51 percent for Bush. This time it was the same percent for Obama. Two and Four years from now we will see if the right choice was made.
It looks like the pillow's on fire in the backround lol

I sad that on the same day California voted against same sex unions. The world's 7th largest economy just ratified discrimination and that saddens me.

Take your time with the album Imogen, we will wait eagerly, and we know it will be really great. we all love what we've heard so far so keep it up, and even if you fall behind again that's ok cause by the looks of it, it's almost all nearly done anyway!

Immi dear, you are just amazing a true pure heart and soul you have. Your idea with "Project M" and everything else is brilliant! This will be another tough challenge for you, but I know you will pull through and if I can do anything to help I will. Bless you sweet heart we love you!

Concerning your reply,bethalexandrataylor.MIA:Sentence structure,two commas,one apostrophe,at least five capitalizations.What you do have is a nagging view that Immi and Jack are somehow unequal(Go Obama)As Immi says "Pay close attention,".Also Nataly Dawn taught me a song(or two).........So So Sorry from the British Education Society...Clifford
whereamigoingnow 3 years ago
noooo YOU pay close attention.
i was simply trying to say comments such as yours put pressure on Immi that she doesn't need. The album will be ready, when it's ready :)
and the rest of us can wait patiently because we know she is doing a fantastic job!
so just wait. gods sake... ¬¬

If you wind up somewhere even in the VICINITY of Canada, I am flying out off my rock to see you. Just saying.

I LOVE First Train Home, and I can say that it'll probably be one of my favorite off the album.
I am PRAYING for you to come to Montréal, it would be fantastic!
Keep up the good work, and good luck on finishing the album. It's gonna be, from everything I heard off of it, just bloody awesome! Can't wait!

Immi, singing the words "God Bless America" is the kindest thing you could have done. Regardless of the obvious political differences seen in the previous posts, I hope the one thing we can agree on is that our country needs all the blessings we can get. I know your heart is in the right place. Keep up the good work, I love your music!

Way too hilarious, at the crashing sound at the end, haha.
I'm jealous of your lovely outfits, and your soulskipping beats as usual.
The thing I anticipate the most (and have been) this year is your new album.
You're also giving me further inspiration to start my own music career.

Macain was way to scary, and when Palin opened her mouth nothing came out, even scaryer. And yes we won this time i just hope people realize it will take time to get out of the mess the republican party put our country and the world in. I pray the people will be patiant and give this man a chance. This also saya alot about how far weve come in America. Now i hope we get to my people next the native americans. keeping hope alive.

Great idea for the improv songs/charity help! I'm sure the logistics can be figured out easily. As for politics and music; the two have always intertwined. World issues shape opinions and feelings that are expressed in art.
I am an American in London and ran in the pouring rain with the flu to get my vote to the post office (because I procrastinated). I laughed (and coughed) through the streets because I felt so good voting for Mr. Obama. So, I enjoyed this vlog! CD coming along beautifully!

They may also be able to send you snippets of sounds that they would like incorporated into the song then they could text you those sounds and you could do your jiggery pokery and incorpoate them with other people's sounds and suggestions. You can also ask people to record sounds of the town if they are going to see you and give you those sounds and that way it would be a true representation of the town you are playing in with the local town sounds making a local town song.

I love your ideas for audience input for shows. You could probably get people to text ideas to you from the crowd, that would be the easiest way to find out what people want. Put up a sign with a number they can text their suggestions to.

Although we dont share the same political views I still love you.
I did not vote for Obama and I am not even sure if I like him as a person, He still the President of the United States and that makes him my President. I am embarrassed by some Americans that think any different. Now it is my duty to pray for his protection and the protection of his family coupled with guidance and wisdom for our Nation.

Hello dear Immi! Don't know if you'll read this, but if you do I'd like to thank you for your support of my country's next president. Yippee Obama! I realize though that a few (possibly many) of your viewers aren't as appreciative of that support. I doubt they'll be too hung up about it and if they are then it's really their problem anyway. I just want to reassure you that it's a good thing to be honest about your beliefs and values. This is YOUR "channel" of expression. Not mine. Not theirs.
RicketyRick8 3 years ago
I feel sorry for people who feel that all their favorite artists, artisans, and whatever must either conform to their political views or keep silent. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it doesn't make me any less appreciative of any artist if they choose to voice it.

Imogen, you're truely among the minority of talented artists. As an artist, your politics shouldn't suprise, but I prefer to be ignorant of that to enjoy art untarnished. I would love to have never watched this because now I fear I will always be distracted by your politics instead of being swept into your creativity. Change simply for the sake of change is never wise. Would you bring an unknown guest into your home just to create change?
ALWAYS have been proud of my country,

A poor thing that this video is being bogged down by negative whining and are even being critical of Imogen for her plug. I voted for Obama, so hearing her say that was really great for me. I felt a huge amount of pride in America. I especially loved when she sang "OBAMA!" during the beat in her song. Thanks, Imogen, for the congratulations.

About 15 or 20 years ago went and saw these guys at the Commons at the University of Milwaukee. They had some reel to reels some keyboards and percussions and would make up stuff on the fly, looping it and just totally expressing themselves through there medium . It was great. If I ever got to see you perform live I would hope that it wouldn't sound like a reproduction of your cd's. Be an artist then a musician. Life is to shory to not express how you are feeling at the moment of a performance.

We will have a year or 2 or depression under Obama then high inflation, but that is a result from Americans spending a lot more then they have.
