Imogen is so quirky, down to earth, creative, and highly intelligent. I love her!

[@Lethallime1234]

How is she quirky

[@ZacAttackk]

@@Lethallime1234 quirky doesn't mean a negative thing, it just means having a unique energy around you that strikes you as different- as they said, in a creative and intelligent sort of way!

[@gutsofmud]

She reminds me of someone who thinks faster than she can talk. Not a bad thing.

[@Atomic_Killjoy]

I love listening to her explain stuff. She gets lost in thought and starts rambling. I can really relate 😊

[@MrMikkyn]

I do the exact same thing. I can relate to your statement

[@oksanavodka]

so do I and I never understood why some people hate it lol..to me it's just part of explaining

[@fl00d69]

Unequivocally, without question, peerless, and my favourite female artist of all time.

[@chrisbryan2333]

Well said

[@vicetube]

Bjork is a peer

[@fl00d69]

@@vicetube I'm a huge fan of both, but I don't hear any Bjork in Imogen.

[@vicetube]

@@fl00d69 Sorry for the lack of clarity. They do have different sonic signatures, true. Bjork is a peer in caliber.

[@fl00d69]

@@vicetube Maybe in terms of general success and uh... 'innovation'. I concede. But guess who I've clocked more hours listening to by far...? 😁

Imogen is a legend and hero to all her loving fans. She inspires me to never be afraid to reach out into the abstract, and make something of it.

[@rael1999]

My brother bought me Hide and Seek back in the day for my Birthday. Blew my mind. Always great to hear music that's got a different angle. Iconic album it came off for me. Can believe it's 18 years ago.

[@Yee-pt5xp]

Imogen is a music legend

[@bw6138]

Imogen Heap and Trent Reznor needs to collaborate.

[@MrMikkyn]

Oooh that would be ethereal and spooky

[@SlyHikari03]

That would be super cool.

[@BTBAM819]

A collab with Steven Wilson would be dope too!!

[@lucy4666]

​@@BTBAM819omg I'd love that! I'm sure steven loves imogens work so who knows, maybe that'll happen someday.

[@ryanjoyce88]

she is just straight up a brilliant woman, and i love getting to watch her raw mind process in real time her own thinking process and explain in her own words why her music is so great.

[@editsdump1284]

i am genuinely in love w the human being that Imogen is

[@piccolothegreat22]

we live in the imogen heap universe

[@3rdworld-witch527]

she's the best vocalist ever

[@redryder8622]

She is a true artist and so true to herself. An inspiration.

[@Chucanelli]

The part about the breath (around 3:00) is a big part of what makes the track so, well, breathtaking. The whole track feels like a wall of desperate churning - until the end. I think that’s what makes the end so compelling, it’s precise, simple, delicate straight-ahead, total whiplash after the swelling intensity of everything that came before.

[@FoRillzItsAlley]

I’m so grateful this interview happened & was uploaded- thank you! I love getting a chance to look into the artists mind, the how & why of their true intention. We as fans imagine up so much and paint songs with our own memories, but it’s invaluable to hear where our faves truly came from ❤️

[@kimshivers8009]

I've never been a big fan of electronic / computer flavored tunes but have always loved Laurie Anderson's music.... and now Imogen Heap's!

[@nmikara]

her zach braff show version is my ultimate favorite version, maybe even better than the studio version

[@aiye4444]

Wonderful 💖 now I’m gonna listen to the song again to hear the train, cooking, and ice cream van

[@svenpoletka5236]

I love how matter of fact she is about it, just like the song! Edit: Would love to hear a major version too

[@suzannezoubeck5216]

Great interview (she's always thoughtful and worth listening to). What a loverly (inside and out), intelligent woman and an amazing artist. Glad I finally learned of her existence (maybe a year ago or so). ❤☮🌎

[@casey2173]

This is an awesome song and awesome interview. Thank you.

[@goodergirlmorgado7061]

I have always loved her since I was 18 this is such a 2013 vibe ❤️

[@Fl0xtpvnk]

I've loved hide and seek since my hs (thx Mr O!) teacher played this in the background during a class. It's nice to watch this ages later and see how Imogen is and her personality. She's great. 😊

[@INFPinSA]

Thank you for this! Brilliant.

[@OurNewestMember]

What an interesting af background to an interesting af song!

[@stephenmccoy261]

what an amazing look in to the mind of a genius!

[@BTBAM819]

Such a great artist. Imogen's voice and melodies comfort me, sadden me and move me all together like no other artist does. One of the best musicians of the century. Truly remarkable work❤

[@kodyjohnsen6715]

great video, genius artist

[@crinanthethane9386]

Into the mind of genius….much love & respect!

[@FlatlandMando]

Quite an interview...guy steps back & "she's a gusher"! All good stuff. Only recently I picked up a dvd of Jeff Beck at Ronnie's place which is the first time I saw/ heard Imogen...( KNOCKED OUT!) by her. She did My Blanket & Rollin' & Tumblin' & could not believe how well her material was supported by Jeff Beck's beautiful guitar work. Watched her sequences over & over.😂😊

[@daveknight957]

The intelligent mind is never bored.

[@jenniefeyen544]

Imogen is really special ❤

[@finalshade14]

I appreciate this

[@amandahamblin1208]

She has a speech pattern and tone that remind me of Stevie Nicks.

[@TruellySmooveTV]

i just love her

[@Jsarson1976]

She is a legend and has created some amazing songs in her career.

[@alex_harnar_618]

She looks a lot like this actress named: ‘Sally Hawkins’ she portrayed Ms. Mary Brown in the Paddington movies.

[@teflonpan115]

So this song was kind of an accident. How ironic.

[@Tj-qb8nd]

i felt bad about her pc blowing up can you imagine the hits that died with it?

[@stutzbearcat5624]

This is freaking awesome!!! Imogen (4what it's worth) I LOVE THE LONG HAIR! 🙂 And the live versions I've heard are fantastic! Whose that kid who keeps popping on to the screen???

[@tracylf5409]

She's had long hair for a while-- she just wears it up. The "kid" is the interviewer.

[@Flowilty]

@@tracylf5409 his comically bad editing was that confusing for some I suppose!

[@iain2080]

@@Flowilty it's a zoom call ffs whoevers mic is making the most noise shows up on the screen, nothing to do with editing

[@liamstanderjunk]

i want to see her and Jacob Collier collab

[@kartelindosarana]

I like her.. no.. I adore her, really

[@dumpsta-divrr365]

I love her

[@virginiaordaya]

It’s so interesting that the lyrics include “trains (and sewing machines)… they were here first” bc a train actually would intrude on her recording and she must have accepted it like “well the train track was here first” 😂 I don’t know if that’s true but I like to imagine it is.

To figure out all the harmonies despite the fact that you were using a harmony engine.

She looks deeply depressed. She needs Jesus. God bless her.

[@Ble33334]

Huh?

[@damaracarpenter8316]

She's 46 years old and presumably hasn't had any cosmetic procedures done. You're just not used to seeing a celebrity embrace natural aging.
