Imogen Heap - Wait it out Live (Poptech)

Live performance @ Poptech 2008
Wait it out was the first song of the new album ELLIPSE writen by imogen.
This was the first time Imogen performed wait it out live.


LYRICS:
where do we go from here?
how do we carry on?
i can't get beyond the questions...

clambering for the scraps,
in the shatter of us collapsed.
it cuts me with every "could-have-been."

pain on pain on play, repeating.
with the back-up make-up life shift waiting.

everybody says,
that time heals everything.
but what of the wretched hollow?
the endless in-between?
are we just going to wait it out...?

there's nothing to see here now,
turning the sign around,
we're closed to the earth til further notice.
clambering for the scraps, clambering in the light.
we're closed to the earth til further...

all-in-one, only one street-level miracle.
i'll be an out-in-out, born-again from none more cynical.
where do we go from here?
how do we carry on?
i can't get beyond the questions...

clambering for the scraps,
in the shatter of us collapsed.
it cuts me with every "could-have-been."

pain on pain on play, repeating.
with the back-up make-up life shift waiting.

everybody says,
that time heals everything.
but what of the wretched hollow?
the endless in-between?

all-in-one, only one street-level miracle.
i'll be an out-in-out, born-again from none more cynical.

everybody says,
that time heals everything.
but what of the wretched hollow?
the endless in-between?
are we just going to wait it out...?

...and sit here cold?
we could be long gone by then,
and lackluster.
and dust will layer on old magazines.
fluorescent lighting sets the scene,
for all we could and should be being,
in the one life that we've got...

everybody says,
that time heals everything.
but what of the wretched hollow?
the endless in-between?

are we just going to wait it out?
just going to sweat it out?
just going to sweat it out?

wait it out.
everybody says,
that time heals everything.
but what of the wretched hollow?
the endless in-between?
are we just going to wait it out...?

...and sit here cold?
we could be long gone by then,
and lackluster.
and dust will layer on old magazines.
fluorescent lighting sets the scene,
for all we could and should be being,
in the one life that we've got...

everybody says,
that time heals everything.
but what of the wretched hollow?
the endless in-between?

are we just going to wait it out?
just going to sweat it out?
just going to sweat it out?

[EndlesslySheSaid13]

wow. And this was just with piano!! I am soo excited to hear the album version!!! Immi does it again! :D

[helloelmo18]

Her voice is so captivating

[Hahren]

@generalzard1940 really? I understood all of it, and I'm not even English :p

[PayShi]

@generalzard1940 Think it's mostly because of the audio.

[generalzard1940]

I understood ten percent of what she said.

[SaraMUSt]

<3<3<3 ThAnX for sharing!

[lalalablair]

danggg, the audience doesn't seem to fond of her in the beginning. O.o

[aeyana78]

Ok, I love immi, but you're right. She walks out with this crazy cool gizmo, takes it off and plays the regular old piano (which sounds GORGEOUS!) I kept waiting for her to start using the thing she set ON the piano. Shakes head. Teehee. I adore this song though.

[fendweller]

Audience sound a lovely lot at the start...NOT. Hear that tumbleweed rustling. Also, isn't this meant to showcase the gizmos, not just the piano?

[tstough]

Even with this rough mix, I'm glad to hear this. What a gem.
