Imogen Heap - Canvas

My favourite song of her while discography.

The production and mixing 👌👌👌👌👌👌

This is gonna be SO rad to paint to. I painted to "pictures of you" by the cure for like a year straight. Not just that 1 song, it was on a playlist. But still

Stunning.

I am so completely moved as an
Artist, and one who spent the
Best part of my life living in
Winters of snow and love.

It's a riddle can you guess it???
Slow heart dark wait down love black canvas
Revolve within, you understand
Fragile earth where cracks in the temperature
Keep it cool to give, you understand
Keep it cool to give, you understand
Slow heart dark wait down love black canvas
Revolve within, you understand
Fragile earth where cracks in the temperature
Keep it cool to give, you understand
'Cause I just can't find the strength to pull you up and keep you taut
No I just can't find the strength to hold you up and keep you taut
Hijacked lost track light fades another day left
Long shadows lure you in
The more you look the less you see
So close your eyes and start to breathe
Oh, suit yourself, this wasn't easy
Mm, suit yourself this wasn't easy
Oh, I just can't find the strength to pull you up and keep you taut
No, I just can't find the strength to hold you up and keep you taut
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Da-day-hay
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Da-dada-ho
'Cause I just can't find the strength
To keep you taut.

One of the greatest songs ever recorded

Incredible music!

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

O johnny o eye am tired of playing hide and seek with God

One of the very best tracks you ever did my sister I'm still trying to understand. I wrote a song based off this. I tried to learn it but did it wrong and my tune sort of wrote itself. The professions kept leading onto others. Brothers and sisters hold on.

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

I am here as someone mentioned this song in the comments of a London Grammar video.

“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.

A funny little tune but it yielded some great ideas. Ty. It's time to do the twist

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

My sister the weight of the world is on my back and eye eye eye don't even know why. Nothing's gonna change my world nothing

Slow heart dark wait down love black canvas
Revolve within, you understand
Fragile earth where cracks in the temperature
Keep it cool to give, you understand
Keep it cool to give, you understand
Slow heart dark wait down love black canvas
Revolve within, you understand
Fragile earth where cracks in the temperature
Keep it cool to give, you understand
