------ performed by Imogen Heap
OMG | Reviewer: Peter | 10/10/09
Absolute garbage. Makes little to no sense and sounds she sounds like shes dying. If you want to hear something good check out the hip-hop version of this song by Jason DeRulo; its way way better :)
LOST LOVE | Reviewer: Sonya Davis | 10/7/09
OMG people you read in to stuff to deep .. JEZZ.. OK this song is not as deep as you want to make it out to be .. She is talking about loseing a lover ..It is an amazing song and she has just used lots of metafores...
actually | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/7/09
I just read on wikipaedia that the song includes sounds of her and her boyfriend eating dinner, (the sound like rain in the background is a frying pan) makes me suspect that it is indeed about a break up....
it means whatever you want it to mean | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/3/09
i think that songs mean something different to everyone. everyones ideas are quite correct bec. thats what they take from it. immediately i thought break up song. that they had a life together..crop circles in the carpet...you know when you move, and you look at the carpet where your things used to be, the furniture makes markings, usually with dust. if you remove a picture from the wall , it leaves lines, and mess where the pictures used to be. and then the chorus at first, sounds like he chose to leave, and basically decided thats what they needed, he decided for her. but, the rest of the song doesnt quite fit with it. but i recently went through this, which is why it meant that to me. but i think the other analyzations are spot on. either way. that is exactly why poetry is wonderful. its not black and white, its that grey area where anything is possible.where it means whatever it wants to mean to the ears listening or the eyes reading. we are all fighting such different battles, looking to relate to anything that confirms how we feel. its all okay. thats what makes each one of us so beautiful. if we found out what she really meant, then the song might not be quite as personal. great song, great sound, great lyrics, great artist. and it seems, to me we all can appreciate that.
im confused | Reviewer: danielle | 9/30/09
Comming from a poets point of view, I say you can NEVER EVER EVeR find out what this master peice means unless you see or read an interview from the writer HERSELF.. but I think whoever thought of the whole holocost thing is wat this peice of work is about needs 2 know EVEEEEEEERRRTHING about the holocost bcuz this poem is SOOOO abstract and SOOOOO genius, that it cud mean ANYTHING or EVERYTHING. But I DO know that this song is not a song, I BELIEVE that is was a poem then LATER ON got an melody attatchd 2 it... and I think that sum1 HAS 2 do a interview with Imogen Heap so she can HOPEFULLY SOLVE THIS MYSTERY! :-D
Something more then what happened awhile ago. something happening NOW. | Reviewer: emma kidd | 9/27/09
I just heard that this song was for human trafficking.
if you look at the lyrics and think of that. Things make more sense rather then the holocaust. Yeah, the holocaust was really really bad, but it also happened a long time ago. Human trafficking is alive and well in our very age. Kids (with no exaggeration) young as 5 are being sold into.
Industry and Technology vs. Love and Human Kindness | Reviewer: Kathy | 9/26/09
Though I agree with both the Native American and Holocaust interpretations of this song, my interpretation is much broader. I think she is referring to how the importance of industry and technology have taken away from the sensitivity of life; we now put too much emphasis on industry (trains, ect.) and technology (sewing machines, ect.) and don't seem to notice what was here first (blood and tears [hearts]). I think she is pointing out the lack of human kindness that relying on such things has brought about. We are no longer relying on our hearts to find answers, we are relying on machines. She also points out that the makers of industry deny responsibility by claiming to have meant well by providing what was needed. Her argument to that claim is to point out "ransom notes", or the cost for everything and that they try to make it sound good with advertising that speaks no feeling. Her reply to the industrial and technological world and to the advertising that sells it is, "No, I don't believe you, you don't care a bit."
First American Indians and now the Holocaust?? | Reviewer: NO | 9/24/09
I invite anybody buying into the "Holocaust" theory to read previous posts about the supposed meaning of this song. For about two pages it was the popular belief that American Indians were in fact the subject matter, specifically the European takeover. At least the controversy over the meaning of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" has some basis; that song is ambiguous in many ways. This song isn't.
The American Indian argument used some very convincing interpretations following one or two specific lines [oily marks, they were here first, etc.). Strangely, the "Holocaust" argument uses many of the exact same lines in support.
It's about a breakup, look at her other music and ask yourself what's more likely: that a contemporary British artist who has no outspokenly political music would write about WWII or the even more distant American Indian OR that Imogen Heap wrote about the same topic as just about every other solo artist for the past 100 years--love.
Fine, interpret poetry however you want, Imogen meant this song to be a breakup, but if it makes you feel better to include some piece of history in our pop culture, more power to you.
awesome | Reviewer: JURGEN KUBIRSKE | 9/21/09
Its really quite sad that some people use this review area to insult peoples viewpoints and thoughts...i agree that everyone may experience the songs lyrics differently and that is exactly as it SHOULD be! The more ive been listening to the song, and thats been A LOT recently, the more i really do start to see and hear the connections that are being made to the Holocaust. I hav no idea if i spelt that right. Haha. But either way. Its a great piece of poetry. If u hav an open mind and like relaxing music this is def a song that should be considered. Great job emogen heap. Hats off
Woah | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/20/09
i totally thought this was a love song or break up song, too.
the "crop circles in the carpet" made me think of pacing.
and "oily marks appear on walls," was like being pressed up against the wall during "pleasure moments"or something.
but after reading the actual lyrics and these reviews, the nazi/jews interpretation completely makes sense.
it makes this song a lot deeper and poetic than i thought it was,
and it also makes "Watcha Say" a lot more random.
