Music Monday - Imogen Heap "Hide and Seek"

I spent all car ride to the coffeehouse trying to think of a song for Music Monday.  Should I go current, past?  Should I go singer songwriter, hard rock, country?  And then I walked into the shop and Imogen Heap "Hide and Seek" was playing.  Perfect!  Love it so much! I can't recall when I first heard Imogen Heap.  It was probably about five years ago or so.  I might have first heard her on the OC Soundtrack.  Or possibly The Last Kiss Soundtrack.  However I ran across it, I instantly loved her.  The voice.  So weird, yet amazing.  The style.  Even more weird, yet even more amazing.

Lyrics:

Where are we? What the hell is going on? The dust has only just begun to fall, Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling. Spin me round again and rub my eyes. This can't be happening. When busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek. Trains and sewing machines. All those years they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls Where pleasure moments hung before. The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life.

Hide and seek. Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here) Blood and tears, They were here first.

Mmm, what you say? Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did. Mmm, what you say? Mm, that it's all for the best? Because it is. Mmm, what you say? Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this. Mmm what you say? What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth. Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs. Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you. You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth. Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs. Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you. You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

Of course, the real music video is through Vevo and won't embed. But I found this great live performance!  Enjoy a quiet Music Monday...
