The Reviews about Hide And Seek (page 16/ 86)
------ performed by Imogen Heap


like a love song | Reviewer: sunangel | 11/17/08

There was once I had a fight with my girlfriend, I played this song, with Tiesto's Remix.
This was my translation


"where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling"
(What happened to our relationship...
Imagining a recently abandoned house, starting to get the dust falling and landing on the carpet...
Looking at the dust, slowly falling)

"spin me round again
and rub my eyes,
this can't be happening
when busy streets amass with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy"
(Wake me up, be conscious, why this arguement happened)

"hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first"
(We have been a long time on our relationship, playing childish and fun games before)

"oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life"
(The same old spot that we have always been, we made alot of memories there)

I sang and cried, even I was a boy, but not a sissy, but it seriously makes me calm and conscious whenever something sad happens on our relationship.

Power of Music



Blown AWAY | Reviewer: waX | 11/17/08

This song is @#$^ amazing, Lauren Anderson did something similar but not quite as deep in the 80's (i think) called Superman.

This just touches me in so many spaces, It totally encapsulates my recent break up and my boyfriend's moving out... everything from the pictures on the wall thats no longer there to the "you decided this" and this is for the best.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL.



Song chosen for My Essay. | Reviewer: Jessica | 11/14/08

I'd have to say I love this song.
Our grade 9 english class just read a book "Speak", and we're told to do a essay on the title's significance. We also had to choose a song to go with our essay explaining the main character's feelings. The character is really alone, and see the world in different ways. The summer before school she got raped when her and another boy got drunk, he was a senior and said to be a real pig. The book is about her learning to "Speak", and I think Hide and Seek really go with the book. Espeically the lines "spin me round again and rub my eyes,this can't be happening" resembles the rape in her mind, and "You don't care a bit x3" tells how the boy sleeps with many women and really does not care. Just wanted to say that, and wonder if anyone has read that book, or agrees? :)
Thanks.

cool | Reviewer: Georgia | 10/24/08

Unbelievable | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/13/08


I think the genius of this song is in the music and all the angles it takes. So many surprises the first few times you hear it. I think you can dig too deep looking for a chain of thought. She's amazing. I'm blown away. Try singing with it. Fun.



Funeral | Reviewer: Shelby | 10/13/08

This song was played at my friends funeral. She killed herself, and it really seemed to fit with that theme. Especially this part:

Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmmm that it's all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say?
Mmmm that it's just what we need
you decided this
whatcha say?
Mmmm what did you say?

Im not necessarily saying its about suicide but merely agreeing with whoever said that Imogen Heap intentionally made it an ambiguous song because it can mean a different thing to different people depending on the individuals situation.

Its a very beautiful song. One of my favourites.



Obvious what the song's about... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/10/08

The song is definitely about moving and "trains and sewing machines all those years they were here first" simply means the children in her family played with trains and her mother or grandmother sewed. She came back to her childhood home, and trains and sewing machines, which were there first for years, have been replaced with someone else's new furniture. "Spin me 'round again" is referring probably to peoples' tendancy to spin small children playfully. I think you have to be stupid not to get this part:

"oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life"

She is talking, literally, about a still life painting. A photograph of her happy family has been replaced by a cold, meaningless oil painting.

"Blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first" is again talking about how she hurt and cried and loved in this home and now it's no longer connected to her.

From the bridge of the song onward it seems as though this song must be about vulnerability. Be it the vulnerability of breaking up with someone or losing a friend ("you don't care a bit" or "what did she/you say" or "Mmm, whatcha say, that it's all for the best), or the vulnerability of a childhood home and memories lost.



this song sucks | Reviewer: jj | 9/29/08

this song is so homo. i heard it when they played it on the Oc and the SNL parodies of it were amazing. you guys this song is meaningful are clearly wrong, you have no life and it is one of the worst songs of this generation. it reminds me of gunshots.

seek and find | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/27/08

this is the one of the best songs i've ever heard. it's very simple but still so deep. i don't think you really understand first what all the lyrics means, like many of you says. i agree. i've heard this song many many times, but i didn't really focus on the lyrics in the beginning, but when i read all the comments here i see many things in the song that is so simple in a way but you have to really look to 'see' them. this song have helped me through some lonely moments.
