100 Days of Happy, Day #5

[brightly_lit]

And for my regular day of happy today, I'ma talk about the amazing Imogen Heap. She has tons of great albums. She's always been an ethereal singer with an incredible voice, but as a songwriter, arranger, producer, her albums just keep getting better. Her latest, Sparks, absolutely blows my mind and literally makes me weep with the joy of knowing something this brilliant is allowed to exist in this world.

Here's the song I've been jamming to lately the most, of so many on this album. I'll embed it for easy access, but beware actually watching the video--I don't know about you, but a bad video can easily ruin a song for me, and the otherworldly quality of her music seems antithetical to the video medium unless it's made with tremendous care. So maybe you'll just want to do like me and only listen.

Ooh, thank you--I love that one! (And until I saw the comments on that video, I didn't realize that song had been sampled for an apparently far more popular song!)

Did you not? See I did, which is shocking 'cause I usually retain NO info in this messy head of mine ;)

Wow, I don't think I've heard this one much; it's BEAUTIFUL. And on the video (which must have cost tens of dollars to make!)... actually, it looks like SPN fanart to me! Especially that first scene-- Sam and Dean in the Impala was my first thought. They even have shippy moments and monsters to fight.

As I've told you, I love the way you love things. It makes it all so much MORE. <3 <3

Now you're startin to hear it!

YES, TENS OF DOLLARS. Tell you the truth, I couldn't bring myself to watch more than a few seconds of it, because what I did see appeared to have taken, yes, tens of dollars, and tens of minutes! Eh, I can never stand the video. It's all about the song!

Aw, thank you, bb. <3

She has a beautiful voice with a haunting quality that I love, I'm not that familiar with her songs but will be looking her work up now, thanks!

I really can't recommend her enough. I'm not crazy about her first album, but all the rest are EXCELLENT, and god, what a voice!
