Imogen Heap - Canvas

[@kamalbhaizan]

It's been like 10 years since i discovered her music.A lot happened with me between this period. Highschool, heartbreaks, intoxication, college, work. Life has become complicated and confusing. But the feeling I derive from listening to her songs, is, still the same.

[@IMissMrKitty]

Well said! I feel the same way.

[@chicoreyes8777]

Amen brother 👍

[@sanjaychaupal5072]

You speak my heart... pretty much similar story , fan from india

[@Bethanalice]

I'm the 69th like HAHAHAH

[@ZeranZeran]

Me too stranger.

[@itowedin]

Her vocal melodies are unrivaled. What a forward thinking approach to vocal layering.

[@Adam-rg2hu]

Wow a comment 15 years ago, i was 10 at the moment, Hope that you are alive and well and if not, i Hope that life treated you well my Friend

[@jmallon24]

Couldn't ask for more of an original artist like Imogen Heap.

[@sacredstarlight9446]

Imogen heap is not only an artist but she is a gift to the human soul I swear she taps into something I honestly can't describe her music is melancholic uplifting

[@requiemmariano]

Imogen, im a heavy metal and hard rock fan...but the first time i´ve heard your music, i fell in love.. so deep and peacefull.. it´s like a trip..now im a big fan of yours! greetings from Argentina!

[@bobinchainz]

requiemmariano same here for me man....but open the door to good music buddy. Don’t let metal and rock be the only thing ya listen to. There are some amazing artists out there

[@jmpsthrufyre]

I was born a rock metl ed But Imogen transcends. Insanely talented (and driven.) God bless her. Cheers

[@kvlen5767]

@@gabrielantos4144 agreed. ive been mostly listening to R&b/soul, Rap, and metal. Ive been trying to figure out what makes me love those genres and for the most part a lot of it is based on stuff like this.

[@robmagee791]

imogen is metal \m/. The music that pierces our souls is metal.

[@L1239-z8l]

[@SkoloT]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded

[@MoonrockLagoon]

I agree!

[@katmusswoodwind]

Imogen's usical imagery just takes me to places I'd never thought I'd go - I have so much to do right now but can't move because I don't want to miss anything!

[@TheTimefritter]

I asked my brother to buy me Ellipse for my birthday... that must have been 2010. I listened to all the songs on that. They became the soundtrack of my early love and loss... Its a dark, overcast day today and for some reason I absolutely had to listen to this song. I pulled it up on KZbin and put on my headphones... Its just as beautiful as I remember it. It takes me back to the nights I would stay back at work and take the metro home. Its cold and empty. Funny how music brings back memories and emotions. Thank you, Immi for all the music you gave us. Love from Dubai.

[@pancakeyart]

this song makes me peaceful and I especially like listening to it when its raining or snowing :)

[@palmskrymme]

or when having orange spice tea with cayenne pepper in it

[@amberredfield]

There are certain songs in life that just connect and become part of you. Ones that you would play for someone if they asked “tell me about yourself”. This is one of those, along with other greats like Thickets by Patrick Wolf, and Glorious by MUSE. This song has been part of me ever since it was released. And the cinematography really seals it for me (as an artist and backpacker, mountaineer).

[@Bjokac]

For the first time in 15 years, I'm seriously considering buying a CD.

[@kidchiko9435]

im right with you there

[@elaustraliano]

She's one of the best artists around.

[@adamhanly5250]

go vinyl

[@mjrsnafu]

CDs are still there when the internet goes down and they're so much better than vinyl, except if you're rich and want to display your wealth

[@arunpai1515]

Wow Vinyl forever : CD ok if one buys from authentic source who pays the artist Vinyl can not be replicated easily

[@CurtisCameron]

Back again to binge on Immy. I hadn’t revisited this song for some time, but it gets stuck in my head randomly a lot. She’s an incredible artist.

[@LawTzuTao]

Found Imogen Heap via Pandora. Heard Let Go from the Frou Frou album, and been a fan ever since. She easily goes in my top 5 greatest artists of alive today.

[@LDixon007]

Who are the other 4? My faves beside her are Sigur Ros, Efterklang, Moby, and M83.

[@l.tamarapizarroarancibia9282]

Leonard Dixon .

[@TheJackal1229]

I recommend Olafur Arnalds and Arnor Dan if you guys like Sigur Ros.

[@trauermusik]

I can not even believe how good this song is.

[@animetrashamvs]

This song is medicine for my insomnia. Bless you Imogen Heap 💗🙏🏾

[@CurtisCameron]

I listen to this when I'm overthinking, it's one of my go to calm down songs.

[@animetrashamvs]

Same here, it’s audio therapy 🙏🏾

[@terepadillacuellar4238]

Imogen Heap's voice is so magical ✨

[@oddlang687]

I will be doing this from now on. How had this not occurred to me before?

[@KiteAppeared]

God, such a haunting and pretty track.

@@jonathanzimmer8143 thank you for correcting, i've always wondered if they were right.

replying to boost this, let's get this higher!

[@CelticProgeny]

The more you LOOK the less you see.

[@dolnimgalad]

“I just can’t find the strength to HAUL you up and keep you taut”. The lyrical metaphor is about “canvas”, not “a canvas”, as in a sail, that you “pull up” or “haul up” to keep it taut. The video is gorgeous but the imagery misdirects. The lyrics are about sail canvas, not a paint canvas.

[@bengybogs]

Just Classic Imogen. Thank you for the years of inspiring, genuine and artistic gift.

[@christopherscarpino8994]

Such a solid mixing of the music's mood with the dramatic landscape photography.

[@timeoffire450]

I love the way this one video and song go hand in hand in that they build slowly upward, rising to a swell through the veil of mystery; the whole time you're just along for the ride, wondering where exactly it's going to take you. It's beautiful!

[@sippitsparingly]

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.

[@euo5166]

Absolutely exhilarating, a fresh breath of air. I knew Canvas would be amazing, and it even exceeded my expectations. The video is a work of art in itself. Thank you so much for sharing, Immi. ♥

[@smidgeonpigeon8243]

You're the artist I've listened to for the longest and your unique sound is such an inspiration to me as an artist. THANK YOU!

[@toxi87]

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

[@raindropsandfeathers2245]

Those epic piano notes at the end... I love it.

Shit, that long? This song will always remain one of my favourite pieces of music ever, up there with Coldplay - Strawberry Swing and Kishi Bashi - Once Upon a Lucid Dream.

[@Mrnickstr89]

Yep. What’s also mind boggling is that the 10th anniversary of Ellipse being released is about 6 or so weeks away.

[@glowdeer_6693]

even 11 years

[@panagea2007]

Imogen's music is what you get when you don't interfere with an artist's production, and just let them do their own thing.

[@rand0mplaces]

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

[@AmpleChances]

There are moments in your life that you'll never forget. Your concert in NYC in December of 09 being one of mine. To see your reaction when you found out you were nominated for two Grammys, phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your gift!

[@shre2927]

This is so, so perfect in every which way.

[@YourmagotHAX]

Each song has it's own personal touch of some kind of emotion. and depending on which emotion you want to indulge deeper, or fight, you can choose between most of her works.

[@Skyline10789]

totally agree. i've been listening to the instrumentals more and more to appreciate just how intricate the tracks really are, i guess that would be why she included them on the album.

[@knobowski]

Her finest masterpiece

[@ManifestPanda]

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.

[@ThreeDaysGraceFan40]

Loving this song..... Ever since I listened to her song headlock on another artist's Pandora that i played, I fell in love with Imogen's music to this day!

[@chioj36]

The piano chords at 1:00 send me into an unknown dimension of my childhood every time

[@Graylord12]

You just sent me into a spiral of chills bruh

[@Dank951]

It does. She is so talented with this kind of music. Imogen is one of my idols. Hide and seek, canvas, and first train home are thee best songs she's ever produced, all her songs are good but those 3 seem to always play in my mind daily :)

[@VickHushpuppy215]

I was obsessed with her music as a kid in the late 90s early 200s then when I heard lil b sampling her music I got hype and start listening daily again lol

[@JenipherI]

I'm truly in love with this song. It's those kinds of songs you have to keep listening to over and over again!

[@Mazumune]

Lovely music... this is a song you can have going whilst curled up on the fire or reading a book, or generally going on in the background. Gorgeous, I love the piano intro especially

[@123maximumride]

I love Imogen heap so much and I also love Divergent so yeah this is amazing I hope they use her soundtrack for the movie

People mainly expect from the artist based on previous work. Try to follow were the artist goes, and you may be just right there with them enjoying the moment... Next year you will find yourself somewhere else. That's what evolving artist does. Imogen Heap is just that artist. Wonderful trip!

[@FrancisPelletier]

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

[@ciaracummings7027]

I remember listening to this song while I sat outside in single-digit temps and heavy lake-effect snow ( I lived in Buford,GA a few hundred feet from Lake Lanier) and I was going through a *bad*/abusive relationship at the time. The whole experience of meditating and this song's depth (in music and lyrics) and how much it touched my soul brought me back to my center-place and helped me grip on to a normal reality again, away from him ; I might even say it was a damn-near religious experience. I suppose I'm back here to relive that experience and find my center again...I definitely need it more than ever now.

[@SilverLightningXV]

Genuinely love the feeling I get when listening to her music

[@Alas_Earwaxx]

First time i hear this and i love it. It's so soothing like most of her music. Love it.

[@spunduckypinkie]

Imogene Heap moves me & helps me cope with lifes tragedies....

[@3Dartist247]

Art brought me to KZbin. Music keeps bringing me back. This video is both and more. The imagery is starkly beautiful, the lyrics are poetry, and the songwriting and performance are inspired. Imogen is my Muse. I hope I will live up to her inspiration after too long away from my own art.

[@MHchloekoolkat]

this makes me feel so good that I always listen to this song at night helps me sleep too so beautiful

Use a magnet or array of them different shapes polygon magnets Place behind canvas mix iron or magnetite mix with paint thin paint. Use droplets let them fall onto the canvas. It will adhere to the interference patterns of the field. You can also run sound through the canvas to make shapes. No one's thought of this. Could make you famous

@ArkadyRenkovich I found the vBlog I was thinking of. It is vBlog 29, where Imogen explains the idea behind 'Canvas' from about 1m30s onwards. The artist who painted on black canvases is Barnaby Hosking, who is a friend of Tom Kelly who filmed the video for Canvas.
