I read you,
And god I'm good at it, I'm so spot on,
Chord shapes in air,
Go press that dissonance, if you dare,
And you breathin' in,
Finesse an innocent, from her partying.

And I'm high enough from all the waiting,
To ride a wave on your inhaling,
And I'm high enough from all the waiting,
To ride a wave on your inhaling,
'Cause I love you, no?
Can't help but love, you know.

What part of no,
Don't you understand? I've told you before,
So just get off my case,
This isn't happening, stop this now,
And I, where was I?
I have to be somewhere,
Now where did I put it?

And I'm high enough from all the waiting,
To ride a wave on your inhaling,
And I'm high enough from all the waiting,
To ride a wave on your inhaling,
'Cause I love you, no?
Can't help but love, you know.

Is this it? Is it?
Is this it? Yeah,
Is it? No,
Is this it? No,
Is this it? No,
Is this it? No,
Is this it? Yes,
Hello we're back,
And we're taking calls,
Now what was the question?

And I'm high enough from all the waiting,
To ride a wave on your inhaling,
And I'm high enough from all the waiting,
To ride a wave on your inhaling,
And I'm high enough from all the waiting,
To ride a wave on your inhaling,
And I'm high enough from all the waiting,
To ride a wave on your inhaling.
'Cause I love you, no?
Can't help but love, you know,
'Cause I love you, no?
Can't help but love, you know,
'Cause I love you, no?
Can't help but love, you know.

Great sound. I saw her In London's Shepherds Bush Empire back about 15(!) years ago! She was solo and did a great show as a electronic multi instrumental artist. Everything she did on stage was improvised and sounded really fantastic. She messed up once but just laughed it off.
Love the production of this track. Listen with headphones or with good speakers.

When she says "Yes...", such a well controlled tension in a song that, if you listened to it superfically, you might think it plodded.

Love Imogen Heap (solo). Was aware of her prior involvement with Frou Frou ..... but not heard before.
I think I can feel album purchase coming on!!
Posted 15 years ago by highwindows    [ Reply ]
You live in NC and heard this on the radio? I haven't listened to the radio in years but couldn't imagine any of the shite stations around here (Raleigh/Durham area) even playing something like this.

With that said, I bought this CD, was a bit disappointed

I feel as if I had this song on repeat it would take me hours to even realize it. Rather than getting sick of it, I find myself liking it more every time I hear it.

Very interesting piece. Great bass sound, tasty indeed! I hope to be corrected, but from vague memory, Van Halen was a surfboard manufacturer in the 70's, either in Hawaii or SoCal.

Man, I just love this song. I was really worried that the poppiness of this album (and her latest solo joint) would wear off on me, but they surely haven't. In fact, I love this album and the solo action even more now.

When did Dido join a band? Oh well, still kicks ass. The rest of the album sort of drifts off and goes much more Didoish. But this song is good.

Hey, that sounds like simon gallup (the Cure) on bass. This is definitely a solid CD. This one and 'Hear Me Out' are favorites. And it's: "to ride a wave on your inhaling" don't worry, I originally thought it was "ride away while your in heaven" then I saw the lyrics.

When I first heard this song on the CD I could swear she was saying, "I'm so spra-vone," when in fact she's saying, "I'm so spot on." Very amusing to me, and my wife now tells me that I'm so spra-vone. I love this song, and the rest of the disc.
