@rockthisworld36 Okay, just for a moment consider you have this talent for creating things like; writing, music, art and, is your primary source of income. I come along and brag about stealing your intellectual property, does that make me a bad, thoughtless, uncaring person or, just someone who is an opportunist seeking what ever they can steal.
oh god, life passes by on me. she already has a newer album than the new album omg what happens to this world it's so awesome lol i like crystal castles
I actually believe that an upload such as this ultimately promotes her work as a whole. It also makes it globally accessible (and there are many who would never be exposed to her gifts if not for YT & the like). It also makes the MP3 available for purchase & promotes the upcoming album. Legitimate fans will want the CD anyway ( I know I'll buy it).
So, tobibarnet, I completely disagree with your referring to tom2700's upload as uncaring & (tacitly speaking) a form of piracy.
well, I wanted to watch the video she actually posted for this video, but I'm currently in Japan and it isn't available for me to view~!! So thank you for uploading!
In this way, I think it is great to have a small preview of the track. I visited to website and wanted to know what the track was like. Now I've heard it and bought it immediately. Perhaps a preview would be better than have the complete number posted on youtube.
Imogen Heap absolutely rocks and with her vblogs you can see all the hard work and effort she is putting into her music (and not bragging about it!).
I love that you've uploaded this. I love Immi, but I like to at least hear her songs before I buy them, and iTunes won't even let me hear the 30 second sampler.
Oh by the way not only i listened to this but posted on facebook, to make all my frinds listen to her she needs more recognition and it will not happen with people saying to not make her musics free,you can see how popular an artist is not by his sale but by the free downloaded content(Rule Number 1 on music industry).
After hearing this at her benefit concert in Christchurch, I'm grateful for having this track on YouTube - she is amazing! I'll be getting the track yes, and encourage people to watch the live acoustic version from her concert (search for Songs for Christchurch) where she talks about how she wrote it, and you can see how her performance isn't just 'performing' - it's real.
AMAZING song<3 Considering everyone is talking about buying the album here, Im downloading the track right now but does anyone know when her album is out in the UK? x'D
@tobibarnet The illegal part is selling at least in my country so Im in the law XD, distributing without any gain i think it doesnt infringe anything at all,it actually helps by marketing the musician. Very few people know a thing about marketing.
I appreciate when people post the full song on you tube b/c I get to hear the entire song and then decide if I want to buy it (rather than hearing a 30 second clip on Itunes which sometimes can be deceiving for the best or worst)
I'm waiting to get payed to buy the bundle!!! So eager to watch the video for lifeline!!!! :D (I know it's super cheap but even so, I have to keep track of each cent xD)
@onnie9summers Because she's the one who wrote all the fan contributions into something worth listening to, a real song. "The whole is different from the sum of its parts." Immi made those parts into more than just a sum. That work shouldn't be free just because fans helped.
I looove this song! It's inspirational and unlike anything else I've heard- as always. I agree with the discretion entirely. (I've already bought the album so)
Ah, I'm so in love with Imogen's work. Her voice is beautiful, lyrics are simply amazing and the music she adds to it is genius! This is real music, and I haven't heard a nice real artist like Imogen in a while. ^_^
The full package is now available from Imogen's website, containing:- Lifeline (song) , Lifeline (instrumental), Lifeline (seeds and solos only), Lifeline (Imogen's 18-minute commentary on seeds and solos),- Lifeline (video), 3DiCD Virtual Artwork App I can't post a link, but go to imogenheap(dot)com and it should be on the welcome page
And as far as posting it on YouTube, I don't know why'd you want it from here anyway; the quality isn't that great (no offense to its publisher). I just wanted to here the song before I bought it, so here I am :)
Good song! I really like it :) I just wish she'd do some music a little more like her 2nd album, Speak For Youself. This song is still good, nonetheless!
@UTIMTA The comments don't accept links, not when I try it anyway. Just type 'Imogen Heap Lifeline' into the YT search box. If you don't get the video in the results, maybe there is some regional search block or something like that.
I'm desperately waiting to buy the bundle!!! I hope they have it soon at 3DiCD as Immi said! :D I love love LOVE you Imogen Heap! And I'm also SO excited 'cause I've already bought my ticket to her concert in Mexico City!!! :D:D:D
Oh get off your high horses everyone. All music ends up on youtube at some point. The people who want to pay for music will pay for it, the people who don't are going to find a way around it - it's not 'nice' but it's the truth.
As for the song, it turned out great. I wish i had've contributed more but i only sort of watched from the sidelines for the first half and then got busy/just forgot :(
@jasonspazza Same for me in here! I just got to watch 2 ustreams and would've loved to help. The song turned out great and I was so excited that Immi involved her fans with her project! She's unique! :)
Great song and a huge fan. It is just a shame that you can't buy the song on iTunes in Australia and the package isn't available yet on her website.... this will have to do for now.
Well I think it is poor of her not let people listen to it for free (besides the poor ustream quality). I followed the whole creation of it. I spent probably 5 hours working on content for it. I'm glad this is here! :D
@Pouffmusic How is is 'poor' of her?! Imogen, along with everyone else in the world who has a career, should be able to make money from the work she does - to take it from her for free, shows total disregard and lack of respect for what she does.
...I also contributed, & have several of my sounds featured in the song, but I still bought and paid for the track. There's no real excuse not to pay for music.
@tobibarnet If this were not credited or a free download I would have an issue with it. As it is, this is free advertising for Imogen Heap. I wish I could be so lucky with my own music! :D :D :D
I love Immi like you but please, remove this :( she worked hard for this song, it's not right to put it on youtube. Yes, I know you only want everyone to hear it, and you're not breaking any law, and you payed on tunes, but still...it's kinda selfish.
While this is an incredible song and people should be able to enjoy it, providing a free way to listen to it on Youtube, isn't exactly the most caring thing to do - Imogen put so much effort into this track and I find it very disappointing that many people seem unaware that music has value :( It makes me wonder, out of the 400+ views, how many people actually bought the track.
At the very least, you should provide a link to the track on iTunes or Imogen's website.
@tom2700 You also have to look at the other side of pirating etc. People download stuff bla bla bla, it becomes just another file on a server. But among those people are people who see that all record companies will eventually succumb to self recording/producing artists because its becoming easier and easier everyday and that soon downloading for free will be normal. Those people dont download just 'cause, they download/pirate to feed their never ending hunger for good music.
@tobibarnet I BOUGHT THE TRACK! imogen's hard work is worth the extra change for her real fans; people who can see the true value of her labors. i'm enamored with her genius. i encourage people to support her as an artist & BUY HER ALBUMS.
@tobibarnet I find this is a great way to get the song out there to the world. Imogen's fans may not all be aware that she was even working on something new. So when they google or youtube her music, they can see a new song popping up. Immi's fans are rather loyal. That's how she's managed to get as far as she has without going too broke, I imagine. I own all of her albums, but love listening to her on youtube. I don't like using iTunes, I'll wait for the physical album ty. Youtube until then
@tobibarnet Really in this day and age people want to hear before they buy. and I'm glad I can hear it. She is an artist that will never be played on the radio regularly. When I get paid I will then purchase it. I don't need anyone bitching about someone sharing beauty with the world. If you don't like it then sad for you.
@tobibarnet If you're bothered by this, you could always listen to the Vevo release of this track on YouTube, which probably sends some revenue to Imogen depending on it's views
Agreed. Imogen Heap is probably delighted to see it on YT ~ she tends to promote the on-line sharing option as a mode of getting her stuff out there anyway.
@leming400 in a way I feel like her third album was lacking the Imogen Heap sound a little, just because she set a deadline and made herself finish it by then. Hopefully this approach helps put the soul back into heaps great music.
@rockthisworld36 yes....
monamour818 1 week ago
Knowing Immi though, she'd probably like that somebody's enjoying her work, regardless of whether someone is "stealing" it or not
The bottom line is that you enjoy the work. I'll admit I pirated quite a few of her albums before I scrounged up enough to buy them
Let's all enjoy the Immi and not care if we can afford to like it or not
