  • I'm reading "Lord of the Flies" to this. It makes the book, and the music, come alive so much more... Highly recommended to anyone reading the book or listening to this song, combine the two.

  • what style of music would this be?

  • Great vocals, lyrics, and melody. This is one of Imogen's top songs.

  • beautiful music as always I listen to many kinds of music and I always love how different hers is just like Frou Frou...wish more people would open their minds to different styles and see what they are missing.

  • mah fav :x

  • "How gay why don't you fags listen to real music like Lil b?" Says the troll.

  • Beyond beautiful. It hurts to watch this. Reminds me of my internal struggles, the mountains we all must face and the beauty when we reach the peaks.

  • So fantastic, and it doesn't matter what anyone else says as long as you can feel the music flowing through your soul the ignorance of others doesn't matter -3

  • CYNTHIA MOTTA, IF YOU EVER SEE THIS COMMENT, YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I WILL NEVER FORGET MY LIFE IN DENVER AND I WISHED YOU HAVE LET ME STAYED!!! i WAS ABOUT TO HAVE A LIFE!!!! please do not reply to this comment.

  • Stop arguing and listen to the wonderful music.

  • Imogen makes MAGIC out of everything...WOW

  • @sumanisgreat Imogen IS magic! :)

  • @OrangeKlawHammer  Grow up.

  • @DavidB5501 please oh exalted one...show me how...you are truly an inspiration to us all.

  • @OrangeKlawHammer Come on.... Lets make these ridiculous rumours stop.

  • Fun fact: Canvas is latin for cannabis, all canvas and most things made before the 1930's were made out of hemp. Not that it has anything to do with Imogen besides the song title but i don't think many people know what canvas actually is. So in a way, pot not only creatively inspired a lot of art throughout history, but also made the best material to put the art on.

  • What famous (or infamous) person would you love to have dinner with? Imogene Heap is right up there.

  • Literally can't breathe during and after this whole video

  • i know just like skylar grey they arent recognized for their own only through mainstream

  • Oh my god, this video is gorgeous...absolutely amazing.

  • Sarah B. :) you know..

  • I pray that my kids and the younger generations will be exposed to the beauty that is imogen heap . There is no way you can recreate this or try and copy she her self is in a league of her own.and I say thank you imogen for this lovely work of art

  • if this song doesn't give you goosebumps you might want to check for a pulse

  • Bellissima!!!

  • does this remind anyone else of "the ground beneath her feet"? x

  • I can't even count how many times I've listened to this song today.

  • the function of music is to release us from the tranny of concious thought

  • There is something about this song that speaks deeply to my soul....

  • DEFINITIVAMENTE ES INCREIBLE.

  • I wonder if i could use this song for my showreel :D hmmm ?

  • Imogen is unbelievably good!

    her music is so perfectly done, the lyrics the melodies EVERYTHING!

  • Imogen Heap rocks!!

  • I wonder where this was filmed.

  • @Jenckles reminds me Iceland. *-*

  • @Jenckles Somewhere in Canada - either Newfoundland or Nova Scotia, I think.

  • @Jenckles My home province of Newfoundland, this is the beauty I've been blessed to grow up in.

  • It sounds like she's had a lot of Irish influence in this album, :3 I love it and I love Imogen Heap<33

  • These songs are just so beautiful..There's no one else out there who makes it as special and unique as Imogen does. She lets the music truly flow and she directs it all herself.. Her music is truly amazing. -3

    For anyone who dises her music they need to rethink what they believe about her and consider how much time and energy she puts into it..so if u don't like her you should to reconsider and if you dislike her music because you just don't like the style then that's your opinion..

  • makes you want to dance in the snow naked and leave footprints in the rain x]

  • @keepthebeat4110 As beautiful as the song is...being someone who comes from Canada (where it gets to be minus 54 C in the winter) there is nothing on earth that would make me want to dance naked in the snow. But I can agree with you on the rain bit. :)

  • @keepthebeat4110 and catch a cold

  • @keepthebeat4110 i know EXACTLY how you feel right now. i found myself staring out the window at the rain for most of the song. being lost in some kind of thoughtless pondering.

  • gangster rap and noizecore are NOT music

  • The best part is in 0:00 - 5:04

  • ear sex

  • this song has had 435,865 views and only 31 dislikes. it's like sex in your ears this song

  • just amazing. i love all your music. <3

  • fucking beautiful<33

  • it so annoying! why must she only be recognised through mainstream music... why cant she be recognised just for her own music, not for jason derulo's crappy shit mix thingo. She is amazing! and an inspiration!

  • Imogen Heap you are an inspiration. I'm so happy that there exists such amazing artists like you out there. You're the best.

    xo~S~

  • cant wait for the NZ tour

    

  • Damn, this is like every Genre of music wrapped into one. It's a very diverse song, if you will.

  • When I hear her works, I want to jump into an abyss and completely forget myself, wrapped in a cloak of darkness.

    I'd like to know why on her video's, there is always a comment where someone is swearing and degrading her. I hope that you all realize that she is a gift to our world. you can choose to not to accept or embrace the gift, but that does not mean that you can be rude and obnoxious when you are posting comments. leave her songs alone and leave you nasty trash talk somewhere else.

  • i have officially fallen in love with this song

    it pulls at my heartstrings. especially the wonderful vocal instrument!

  • well this canvas was really a masterpiece.. both the audio n the vid..

  • /watch?v=gz0RAPmp8DQ 

  • i can't find proper lyrics anywhere, all sites seem to guess, and pretty badly too.

    I love the instrumental, and for as far as i can understand the lyrics they are deep and beautifully put too. Instant favourite <3

  • I like the constant use of contrast in the video, and there is one thing I love even more than that, and thats the song!

  • I've been listening to this over. and over. and over. It's sooo amazing! And I usually listen to metal.

  • I love this video and this song, it is amazing in every possible way.

  • Proud to see how beautiful my backyard looks in this video...well done Immi and company!

  • ....and labrador.

  • newfoundland.

  • I just can't find the strength

    to pull you up and keep you tall!

    Only a genius can write such things.

    Much respect to you Imogen.

  • Just a hunch, but I bet Imogen was, or is influenced by George Winston,,,just a little. Love her style..

  • @RiddleMeThis99 -Gasp!- I'm soooo doing that!

  • this song is just so beautiful, it deserved a great music video. the song and the video suit each other, and it's great to watch.

  • hu can hate something like this... i mean comeon, listen to it.

    beautiful and relaxing from the beginning to the ending :)

  • You make yin and yang music effortlessly! No easy task, but somehow u do it!

  • Last CD I spent money on. Still can't figure that one out!

  • I think I broke the replay button...

  • I don't know what's more beautiful, her vocals or the imagery in this video. Such a great combination. It literally takes my breath away every time I watch it. 

  • Thumbs up if you just saw the la roux-in for the kill and saw first comment about "skrillex"

  • @Faisal4242 you really knew Skrillex before even hearing of Imogen Heap ? I suggest you to go to a disc store and buy everything you see.

  • Comment removed

  • this is a beautiful song, regardless of what you others may believe. it was well put together. it takes a musical genious to do something like this and do i well.

  • Just beautiful. 

  • Quite possibly one of the best music videos I have ever seen...

  • Guys, knock it off.

    All music is music.

    It is ALL beautiful.

    Just because you may prefer one type over another does NOT make it better.

    This music, IS beautiful. ALL music is beautiful.

    So shut your lips, and leave it alone.

  • @magicalmagzta  :) <3 i like your sass

  • why thank you, @GoddessFea.

    And in case I have accidentally offended anybody with that comment, I apologize for offending, but not for posting it. I will never apologize for my opinion, and will never expect anybody to apologize for theirs. I just know that all music is beautiful, and if somebody has a negative opinion about it, they should keep quiet, and listen to something else.

  • @magicalmagzta Not Ke$ha. Not even close...

  • this music is relaxing i go to sleep everytime i listen to this style of music.

  • wow. im also learning to play the violin, and the violin in this song with imogen's voice is amazing!

  • I just came back from science camp, and during a very long hike, there was 10 minutes of silence and we got to sit in an area with the trees. since i just discovered this beautiful song, it makes me want to be there with the silence, the river, and the redwood trees

  • This is just simply stunning. O.o

  • I love this song. : o

  • I USED 2 GANG BANG AND SELL CRACK ON THA STREETZ. NOW I LISTEN TO THIS SHYT ALL DAY N KNIT SWEATERS SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG

  • @EATYOCHICKEN rofl

  • @EATYOCHICKEN you are very funny!

  • This was a beautifully shot video, as well as an emotionally beautiful song. Most things from Imogen Heap are beautiful and very serene though. This proves to be one of my favorite songs from her.

  • All of her songs make me feel like im orgasming and dieing at the same time. And i love it.

  • Watching the video, I kept thinking wouldn't it have been easier to have just brought a camera along instead of treading all that snow with a heavy and awkward painter's ansel?

  • great!!!!!

  • Reminds me of Sade somehow

  • Comment removed

  • stunning

  • i didnt want it to end:(

  • 28 people need their ears cleaned out, this is awesome!

  • please...who don't like this song must have some ear problem -.-'''

    I just <3 it! *-*

  • Amazing video and song. The first snow landed last night. <3

  • This song is one of my favorites :)

  • For those wondering, this was film in NewFoundLand, Canada.

  • Absolutely gorgeous...just simply gorgeous. Reminds me of someone I know. ;)

  • Absolutely beautiful! Placing you in the perfect dream world!

  • High,wide and beautiful...........

  • This is my favorite song of the Ellipse album. xD <333 Love it.

  • This is probably my FAVORITE  video from her! Absolutely STUNNING!!! Her voice sounds amazing and this ladies and gentlemen is what REAL music sounds like... 1 more week till I FINALLY see her in Norwich ^_^

  • This is absolutely my FAVORITE video!!!! Absolutely STUNNING!!!! This ladies and gentlemen is what REAL music sounds like.... 1 more week till I see her in Norwich :D

  • Even people who dont like this music have to agree that it calls out those heavier emotions

    Im sure some of the people dont like her music just because they dont want to be confronted with those feelings

    People that like it like to feel the emotions these songs call out, i think thats the essence of art.

    Since art is often misunderstood by most, it might explain whys shes not mega popular.

    But thats a good thing.

    Unlike most, she lives up to the label "music artist".

  • Comment removed

  • when i see all those long reactions it just takes my courage away to write something to. so i'll keep it short. this woman makes you remember to love the small things in live like the coulore of you shoe laces ore the smiles off the ones you love. she shows that music is not only rythmics wil a melody + some vocal notes but feelings composed in breaktrues of the voice and convidense of the message in the lips. shit. it's not short. well wattever. hope somebody can do something with what i wrote.

  • When I listen to metal, or rap or anything heavy, i can ride to work in 10 mins. When listening to imogen heap it takes me 20 mins, at least!

  • I hate how Imogen Heap always leaves me craving for more.

    Youtube needs an automatic replay button. >__>

  • @Alex65150 youtuberepeat com after you put that in, add the "watch?" part to the URL.

    Or just add the word "repeat" after youtube in the URL

  • @Alex65150 Lol if youtube made a replay button youd sstill have to press it ahaha

  • @Alex65150

    Thats when you make a playlist of every song you love, then keep it going on replay :) That's what i do :)

  • @Alex65150 so true! she is a woonderful singer

  • @Alex65150

    lol they have one............ its called the replay button at the end of the sonq........ ;)

  • @mizbabybear672 its not automatic though : o

  • @Alex65150 If you put the word repeat in front of the ".com" it will put the video on repeat, you know. :D

  • @Alex65150 endlessyoutube com

  • oh wow.

    i just love this song <3

  • i can't get over this song. when i listen to this i feel like i can make something beautiful.

  • I'm not even gonna start talking about the wonders this girl does... what I love about music, arts, etc. is that through them and through the sharing of thoughts and emotions of the viewers and listeners I stop being so depressed about what this world is becoming and what people are going towards. It's just wonderful to read people's comments about their deepest emotions, about the universe of their souls! To see that people do still care about deep reflections... thank you all for sharing!

  • absolutely love this song. i listen to it around 5:00 in the morning before i go to work. very beautiful. may i ask, does anyone have a clue as to what the person in this video is carrying? i'm not sure whether it is a canvas or...?

  • this makes me feel free

  • as i listen to this song ...nothing else matters ...

  • this is REAL music people and she is a real goddess!

  • Great Tune - I don´t understand why the MI removed the other sources from YouTube! Mark Etenson´s Re-Paint is the Best! I´ll take my car and drive through Mexico ;)

  • I love This.

    But why is everyone saying rap is shit? Yeah half the rap artist out there are terrible because they sing about bullshit.

    But the good ones, They have fucking talent and you can't deny it. So don't say rap is shit because i doubt you could spit out that many words as fast as they do and get it right.

  • Brilliant. 20 out of 10.

  • @batmanpronz Congratulations for not being an idiot! *quotes you* Also, props for not giving two shits about "cuss words." You're one of the awesomest people ever!

  • Wow

  • this is pretty mean (nz slang for great)

  • that what i call music !!!!!!!

  • phenomenal. saw her in boston. talent like no other. made up a song with chords/beat from audience participation-on line the following day (purchases went to a local charity) Heard she did a different song at each venue/different charity. Social good while making beautiful music-thanks Imogen.

    plus she is cool!

  • maybe the best song of Ellipse...

  • I don't think i've heard a bad song by her.

  • @foxish282 because a bad song by her simply doesnt exist

  • Imogen heap is the new Enya

  • Comment removed

  • One word "Awesome"!

  • I am...in loveee..with this video, i can't explain the feeling. It really inspired me actually, and the song itself is just as beautiful. Falling more and more in love with her songs <3

  • Absolutely beautiful, the music surrounds you and lifts you up and swirls your soul around, leaving you empty but full.

  • @toxi87 i know exactly what you mean. those emotions with no feeling, those sounds with no noise, those breaths with no air.

  • @toxi87 had any shrooms?

  • @toxi87 Well said. It's exactly what I would've had in mind.. You said it. :)

  • amazing.

  • In February when the snow came down in the UK - I went for a walk in the woods near my house listening to this whilst it was still coming down. Don't think I've ever enjoyed a walk more in my life. :-)

  • I used to be a fan of rap. Now i'm on this tip. This is what i have been missing; real music.

  • @illegalleopard88 dont diss rap. the two types of music are equal

  • @turbozed20 did i diss rap?? no...all i said is that i wasn't a fan anymore. now gtfo before i diss you.

  • @illegalleopard88 and you also became gay in the process?

  • @donfaltoso and how are you making any sense?? where did you even come from?

  • @illegalleopard88 good for you! I'm glad you decided to ditch that garbage for real music. Don't listen to the ignorant cave people who tell you otherwise.Rap is the lowest form of entertainment. I've listened to many rap "artists" and each one sounds shittier than the next. It just goes to show that the average listener has next to no taste in music. I mean, Lady Gaga's "music" gets hundreds of millions of views, for God's sake. That nasty she-man can't sing for shit, and she looks like ass.

  • @batmanpronz

    Jesus, every damn time, why is it absolutely necessary to bash Gaga when you listen to music you love?

    If you search her live, she can sing, her music is just shit because they add all this unneeded shit to her songs. It's saddening.

    Really, search speechless, when it's just her and her piano it's magic, I'm disappointed she chose to sing pop. She really could do better.

  • @kaijurajinx I totally agree- that very same live performance of Speechless made me change completely my opinion about her. And yeah, I'm one of the few that adore Imogen Heap AND lady Gaga and I see no reason why people always have to find a reason to insult each other around here...

  • @drebosyche

    totally. *highfives* stay cool brah.

    For instance, I dislike Selena Gomez. However, I'm aware, to say how much she sucks in ever Disney related singers comments is unnecessary.

    I can be a little monster, and an Imogen fan all at the same timez.. :D

  • @kaijurajinx Just because someone can sing doesn't mean they can produce good music. Yes, she is talented, but her songs are absolute shit in terms of melodic substance. "Speechless" is a tribute to her talent as an artist, no doubt, but the song is just garbage. Her songs are as insipid as her image is disgusting. I'll be the first to admit that Imogen doesn't even come close to Gaga in terms of ability to sing, but her masterful use of technology puts her music leagues above Gaga's.

  • @batmanpronz

    Which is why I -just- said her music is shit because they add all the unneeded stuff. "Speechless" was for her father, meant to persuade him to get heart surgery. Her image is disgusting? What image? Is it so uncommon for a blond to be bisexual, unnecessarily explicit, dress weird, and have less than religious views? No it's not. Like at all.

    I like Imogen's sound better yes, but Gaga is talented, and I'm just wondering why it's necessary to bash her in every comment section

  • @illegalleopard88 QUITE THE INTERESTING switch of taste, my good man. Amazing how unorthodox and obscure forms of depth in emotion can create such change in people, right? Good to see your appreciation from this viewpoint too. it means you,ve opened your eyes to to more than what is on the surface of human emotion.
