The Reviews about Hide And Seek (page 14/ 86)
------ performed by Imogen Heap


I think she's the affair... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/19/08

I think hes had a wife and kids all along, the trains and sewing machines... They were here first...

Only I think she didnt know about them, and hes now leaving her...

Moving out of the life she thought they were building...



And an error: | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/19/08

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?

The last line = What did SHE say, makes me even more sure about the wife and kids thing...



I'm not sure I agree | Reviewer: THAT GUY | 12/17/08

My friend thinks its about a relationship problem between two people. I don't believe this though. I think the song is about all different parts of history, including the Great despression, the revolution, and an assasination.



the song | Reviewer: gcell | 12/11/08

i think the song its about one person in a duel because his or her beloved one leted her or him saying "Mmm that you only meant well", "that it's all for the best?", "that it's just what we need"... and she or him answers being sacrastic. and claims "you dont care a bit" because of her or his suffering AND it says trains and sewing "they were here first" because maybe thouse things remind her or him the beloved one and it cant belive thouse things make her sad.



If I lived then. . . | Reviewer: Duckster | 12/12/08

When I listened to this particular song carefully, and really listened to the words, I knew that Imogen Heap was alluding to something much bigger. I believe that this song is talking about either the Native Americans or the Holocaust. Because she is an English artist, the Holocaust as a theme would be a better choice. As much as it might sound like Heap is talking about the U.S side of the globe, she probably isn’t. We Americans think that everything revolves around us, good or bad. “This can't be happening, when busy streets amass with people would stop to hold their heads heavy.” This makes me think of all the people being forced from their homes and sent to walk to the Ghettos. They probably stopped to pray and ask God why that was happening. The “trains and sewing machines” allude to how the Jews were rounded up, put on trains, and sent to sew uniforms for the Nazi army. The “oily marks” on walls where “pleasure moment hung before the takeover” hint to the amount of time that the Jewish family lived in a home. Long enough for the pictures to make a mark, and how they were just ripped from their lives. “Blood and Tears” are self-explanatory. The singer is then speaking as the persecuted, and lashes out at their tormentors, “mmm watcha say?...that you only meant well?...that it’s all for the best?...that it’s just what we need?” The German Government, under Adolf Hitler, tricked the Jewish victims into believing that they were doing what was best for them, obviously this was not true.

Woo Hoo Lee!!



To Whoever | Reviewer: Dan | 12/8/08

I do agree with the 8th grader to a certain degree. The fact is that many musicians simply want to bring joy to listeners. I've seen so many interviews where the artist mentions how the song should be interpreted however the audience pleases, even if it wasn't the artist's meaning.

This song does have a deep meaning. I remember thinking I knew what this song was about, but then I grew up and truly learned what love and loss was. However; even when I was younger this song affected me greatly for different reasons. In the end, the artist has done their job by creating something that speaks to you. Maybe in a few years this song will mean something different. Who knows.



wrong | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/6/08

this song is about kidnapping and therefore it is a sad sad sad song. it makes me want to break down sobbing whenever i hearz it. Also, after three months of searching for her only child she stopped going to work and as a result had to mortgage her home...now she lives with the animals, in the wild. she also cut up all her carpet to make clothing from it. She also used it to line her tree house, which is in the wild.



pretty song | Reviewer: foinkle | 12/5/08

It feels like flipping through a newspaper and just reading the first few words of each story, plopping the best words together, playing with their harmonies and meanings and their rhyming, all strung together in a surprising, wonderful way, that melt in the mouth of your brain and leave at least 5 distinct aftertastes that each taste great, all the way to the end of the song. It's a pretty song. A pretty, pretty song.



offended | Reviewer: B. | 12/6/08

King Lovett:

because you are an eighth grader you do not yet understand both the pain and the greatness of relationships or the trials of life. Once you have been through a true trial you will understand. Music puts harmonies AND words AND emotions to the feelings we ourselves are not capable of expressing. When I was a sophomore, a student at my school was stabbed to death. This beautiful song helped me make sense of such a brutal act. It helped me mourn in a time that I was not ready to get over what had happened. So don't tell me I like it because of the way it sounds- I do - but I LOVE it because of the sheer honesty of the lyrics, the way I can relate to it, and the way it put words and a feeling to something I could never explain.



meaning | Reviewer: Chris | 12/6/08

I agree that this song can mean anything to anybody, of course, but It seems pretty obvious to me she's singing about the end of a relationship - an ending that ended with her significant other being unfaithful.

"crop circles in the carpet"
"oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover"

No idea about the trains and sewing machines, though.
