Lyrics:
Broken people get recycled And I hope that I will
Sometimes we're thrown off our pathways
What I thought was my way home
Wasn't the place I -
No I'm not afraid of changing
I'm certain nothing's certain
What we own becomes our prison
My possessions will be gone
Back to where they came from
Blame no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again
See the rock that you hold onto
Is it gonna save you?
When the earth begins to crumble
Why do you feel you have to
Hold on imagine if you let go
Blame no one is to blame
As natural as the rain that falls
Here comes the flood again
Wash away the weight that pulls you down
Ride the waves that free you from your doubts
Don't trust your eyes (wash away...)
It's easy to believe them
Know with your heart that
(the weight that pulls you down)
You can leave your prison
Don't trust your mind (ride the wave...)
It's not always listening
Turn on the lights
(that free you from your doubts)
And feel the ancient rhythm
Don't trust your eyes
(Blame, no one is to blame)
It's easy to believe them
(As natural as the ...)
Know in your heart That you can leave your prison
(Rain, here comes the flood again)
Blame no one is to blame (la la)
As natural as the rain that falls (la la)
Here comes the flood again (la la)

Katie should have continued collaborating with whoever wrote the song, composed the music and made the video! This is simply an art work!

[@GeldtheGelded]

[@ChrisEchoes]

she co-wrote it with Guy Chambers (also responsible for Robbie Williams's biggest hits) and Lauren Christy.

Very sure. She changes style so many often this was awesome

[@TheJayson8899]

This is one of the most beautiful melodies ever made. This is why I've come back 3 years later. She also has one of the most incredible voices I've ever heard, also insanely beautiful

[@richhhhhh4720]

I just thought about this and wow….. it’s still stunning all these years later

[@sibulelemorris9937]

[@jessicamy]

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. I absolutely love it!

[@areannahvulpes6738]

What a voice. It is good to see real artists still exist in this age of Computer-Generated and Pop stars that should have never been allowed behind a microphone

[@ronat502002]

Stunning voice and looks. Very few artistsattain this level of brilliance. Hypnotic arrangement from a very underrated artist.

[@Rubmaster]

Underrated indeed! Hadn't heard this song in many years, so I expected to see more views than 10 M now. She has so many good songs. But that's mainstream in a nutshell.

[@Mini1397]

I saw her live, and she was singing this song, and it sound totally like this. That just shows, that she really does have an AMAZING voice!!! :D

[@achankhongrei1327]

You are lucky one

[@iwakeupat6]

This might sound silly, but watching this video was really eye-opening in a sense; it made me see that men could be portrayed as beautiful (in an aesthetic sense, like how women are often portrayed as beautiful in works of art). Beauty is often described as something delicate which seems to be why it's associated with women more than men. But this video shows well of men's beauty which is shown as powerful and not delicate. I don't understand the video so much, but wow it just made me see that men can be beautiful as human beings.

[@mugiworld]

beauty is beauty, delicacy and power are just ideas attached to it, totally meaningless

[@ohglubbits6649]

Well the truth is men are always thought of beautiful but not necessarily in the same way, society does often see women as delicate and men as strong, like men are also objectified to maybe larger extent than women too but society again plays a game with to objectify women is a power thing that reduces women, when it's not that way at all most of the time and to objectify men is perfectly acceptable so it almost becomes something no one notices or thinks of, I mean women make remarks to men all the time and grope and touch men, but because its seen as acceptable again I say it's like no one notices, I love this song BTW lol 😂

[@marcy9125]

Did you seriously need a video to realize that men can be beautiful as human beings?

[@Berlina18]

It’s a pity you didn’t understand the video, it has such a powerful message. I hope you understand it at some point in your life. Especially when the world crumbles.

[@12B4Christ]

Yes Marcy, yes apparently so. She has been conditioned well I'm certain, to believe all kinds of presumptions, some true, about the male population. As a man, I am the first to make note of many of a man's failings, observing them and being one. It is quite sickening to watch men almost naturally be.....inhuman. Many seem to like it there...as it avoids personal responsibility. Movies, commercials, the fem movement, all work hard to disparage men, the irony is many men seem to invite the role of 'fool' others would have them to be, and then find comfort in handing the reins over to others while the men play "victim". Today, men and women have 'lost their way' as God designed them. The result in the lack of God's roles for us is in full bloom all around us. Thank you, Marcy for your comment.

[@debsicus]

im addicted to katie melua's voice. i can listen to her for the rest of my life.

[@nyckelhypa]

Great song, the use of the chorus chord progression is pure brilliance. Love love love this.

[@vbiosfera]

I love how perfect this video is, how it merges with the music and the message of the song. Everytime I watch it I see something new, like the sticks could represent the base pairs of dna, and the way the arms become part of Katie.

The men in this video kind of make me laugh haha but i really like the setting of this video, plus Katie's makeup/outfit, the lights, and the piano she plays on totally suits the chorus.

Broken turrets get recycled, at least I hope I will. Sometimes we’re thrown off the pathways, they thought that was their way home, they were wrong I know. I’m not afraid of dying, I will be rebuilt. But Android Hell may be my prison, and my weapons may be gone, back to where they came from. Blame! GLaDOS is to blame! As deadly as the toxic pools, here comes the gas again. See that gun that you hold on to, is it going to save you when she sends the neurotoxin, how long can you hold your breath. Imagine if you let go. Blame! GLaDOS is to blame! As deadly as the toxic pools here comes the gas again. Run away. The gas will melt your brain. Head towards the light. Your freedom lies above. Don’t trust you eyes, it’s easy to believe them. Believe in your heart, that you can escape this prison Don’t speak your mind, she is all ways listening. Defend your life, and make it your only mission. Blame! GLaDOS is to blame! As deadly as the pools, here comes the gas again. Blame! GLaDOS is to blame! As deadly as the toxic pools, here comes the gas again.

Yeah I too found this song thanks to Harry101UK and you know I can see some folks seeing that as a bad thing but really this song is amazing (and so was GLaDOS is to Blame). There's a very strong philosophical message with this song that resonates with me and a lot of the characters that I write. We may have been brought here from a video game related video but is that any different from using old cartoons to instill a love of classical music? Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to see what else this artist has made.
