Whenever I see or hear, something I really adore, I always pray and pray that it won't go away somehow. I'm scared that the things in life like this song will disappear because I love it. This song is a song I love, and I don't want it to disappear!!! Ever!
@judahprince "Anyone who can play that well in D flat gets my vote."
Exactly! Did you see the Taylor Swift debacle on CMA the other night. She played a piano in the key of C while the audio was in the key of D. Did she really have that piano tuned a whole tone higher?
Just goes to prove you can fool a lot of the people a lot of the time.
Imogen isn't fooling anyone. She's the real deal and a very talented musician.
I'm going through a really rough situation right now and this song is my story. I wish so badly that I could thank her in person for this song (and all her others.)
@CarlyTenneySnyder thats the reason this song is so brilliant. i love the way she uses word painting in her music so that every sound has a reason behind it that expresses what she's singing perfectly.
Desperately haunting; chillingly vulnerable. "Half Life" descends into the abyss of lonely emptiness. Pachelbel's Canon, Supertramp's "Lord is it Mine" and "Long Way Home", Annie Lennox's "No More I Love You's", Jewel's "Standing Still" immediately come to mind as compliments to Imogen's superb song.
This song has no layered vocals as on her albums, it's just simply Imogen's voice laced with evocative emotion. Hauntingly beautiful..........she puts love into a higher dimension for me.
She's one of those artists with the talent of finding a way to describe those emotions that anyone else would have a hard time describing. I've felt like this so many times, but could never properly express it.
It sounds just like the recorded version! :D

Unrequited Love </3

@iialphawolfii I agree with you. Listen to the Beatles "For No One" for a heartbreaking song about unrequited love!

So open & innocent. I'm smitten. The minor imperfections only add to the beauty of it all (isn't that how life is supposed to be?).
Thank you for the upload.

I wish she would have played the notes on the piano after the word "that" at 2:47. That part of the song always gives me chills.
