Aldous Harding - Imagining My Man Lyrics






I'm going to answer, protecting
It can be so hard to forgive
It's not what I thought, and it's not what I pictured
When I was imagining my man
You are so nervous all of the time, living the classics
I know that imagining my man
Imagining, imagining my man

All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
You were right, love takes time, hey, hey

You have this dream, apparently I'm not done
I leave and it's dreadful
If you get there
Be honest, respectful

All my life (hey!) I never tried to stay
You were right, love takes time, hey, hey

I hope one dream will get that when we're
Lucky to be given the chance
I do not have the answer
But I don't have the wish to go back

All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
You were right (yes!), love takes time, hey, hey
All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
You were right, love takes time, hey, hey

    I'm going to answer, protecting
    It can be so hard to forgive
    It's not what I thought, and it's not what I pictured
    When I was imagining my man
    You are so nervous all of the time, living the classics
    I know that imagining my man
    Imagining, imagining my man
    All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
    You were right, love takes time, hey, hey
    You have this dream, apparently I'm not done
    I leave and it's dreadful
    If you get there
    Be honest, respectful
    All my life (hey!) I never tried to stay
    You were right, love takes time, hey, hey
    I hope one dream will get that when we're
    Lucky to be given the chance

    All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
    You were right (yes!), love takes time, hey, hey
    All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
    You were right, love takes time, hey, hey

    I'm going to answer, protective
    It can be so hard to forgive
    It's not what I thought, and it's not what I pictured
    When I was imagining my man

    All my life (hey!) I never tried to stay
    You were right, love takes time, hey, hey

    You have this dream,
    apparently I'm not done
    I leave and it's dreadful
    If you get there
    Be honest, respectful

    All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
    You were right, love takes time, hey, hey

    I hope one dream will get that when we're
    Lucky to be given the chance
    I do not have the answer
    But I don't have the wish to go back

    All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
    You were right (yes!), love takes time, hey, hey
    All my life (hey!) I've had to fight to stay
    You were right, love takes time, hey, hey

  23. M.... ....

    The woman is a genius.

    wish those kids weren't screaming

  29. P.... W....

    Is this someone who has been non-stop sober for their entire life?


    There seem to be some Self Analysis angles missing...🤨

    P.... W....

    Listen to I'm so sorry, to quote, "this songs about being an alcoholic"

    But sure bro she should probably try some drugs to get deeper and more woke, wow thanks for your amazing advice

    P.... W....

    I'm currently in rehab and this song and video resonates so much with my journey to recovery. it's definitely a relative and subjective thing you've said.

  30. M.... S....

    Ah Aldous’ earlier, hatless works

  31. P.... G....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Px_Giv6RAY

  39. O.... ....

    I watch this and can only think WIFE 💘

  40. A.... T....

    Perfect song and perfect video. Love it.

  41. C.... C....

    If anything was ever lost in translation.

  42. A.... L....

    exquisite

  43. b.... k....

    seems to love her candy!

  44. N.... S....

    Simply one of my absolute favorite people at this point. With or without music.

  45. P.... M....

    Kiwi girl done good!

  46. Y.... ....

    Это магия какая-то! Просто чудесно!

  47. D.... S....

    She's such a natural beauty...get that makeup off!

    D.... S....

    She can wear it if she wants

  48. A.... C....

    You were right love takes time.
    Says it all . Great line

  49. e.... ....

    Oh my God...I am in love.

  50. D.... J....

    I never thought I could fall in love with a person based on how sensually they bit into a piece of chocolate.

    D.... J....

    Sponsored by Ferrero, thats why ;)

  51. T.... T....

    Why does she always do different voices? It's like she's impersonating someone else

    T.... T....

    Tat Tvam Asi I like it. Gives her a great vocal range and exploration of moods, feelings, styles, worlds, etc.

    T.... T....

    It's called vocal range...

    T.... T....

    @Cellar Door Vocal range is not the same as affect.

  52. f.... ....

    I like how she doesn't just sing, it's almost as if she invents a new language for each song... and she has already perfected singing in each of those languages.

  53. l.... ....

    I don't think she's of this planet

  54. C.... H....

    Play this at my funeral...next week...

  55. S.... W....

    PJ Harvey and Fleet Foxes' lovechild is Aldous. Such beauty all around.

    S.... W....

    I Definitely see a Pj Harvey influence in most her videos and songs from the music, dancing and awkward facial expressions...beautifully strange!

  56. i.... l....

    Something about her reminds me of Nina Simone. Dangerously close to madness but still somehow able to give the comfort of an ever loving mother

    i.... l....

    Or Hope Sandoval perhaps

    i.... l....

    Well said

  57. i.... l....

    One of those songs that can make you spontaneously burst into tears

  58. F.... C....

    Mobile Legends

  59. �.... ....

    you were right love takes time

  60. Y.... _....

    Reminds of indie music from 2007 like something special was about to happen, it sounds like being a young adult new to the city.

  61. Y.... _....

    I'm so in love with her voice and song writing

  62. J.... N....

    This is so fantastic i had to watch this four time a row. Is it raw chocolate you are enjoying in the cab?

  63. g.... ....

    The musicians are obviously quality also. Her music does help me feel less agitated i.e. more relaxed & this is good. She seems as though there would be few dull moments such as with the cowgirl vid. There is a wonderful uniqueness for sure.

  64. L.... B....

    I believe Ivo would have approved of this 4AD signing. When I come across an act like this I almost cry. In the 80’s and 90’s I knew I could buy anything on 4AD, and not be disappointed. Since Ivo left; not so much.

    L.... B....

    Aldous, The National, The Breeders (yes!), Scott Walker, big thief, pixx, Velvet Negroni (the new AR Kane?) and, maybe, Grimes are the true heirs of the great 4AD past, specially The National, Big Thief and Aldous Harding. There is a lot trash on 4AD these days (us girls, turn yards, liima, etc). I really don't know what to think about Holly Herndon (an oddity, that's for sure). 4AD is really big today. Almost all of its releases goes to UK official charts (and, sometimes, us charts). 4AD and Matador and XL are under the same umbrella today (Beggar's Group). So, in practical terms, Adele, underground American acts and Aldous Harding are all in the same boat. A rich one. 4AD is now a very lucrative business. The days of the artsy fartsy (like Robin Guthrie from Cocteau Twins said a certain time) are definitely in the past. We don't have Factory and Creation anymore. And BMG is considered indie in UK. VERY different times, anyway...

  65. a.... a....

    🌹So graceful person !!! 🌹gifted 🌹

  66. o.... ....

    Goddamn. She’s so good

  67. j.... ....

    I mean holy shit !!!! THIS woman is just really SOMETHING !!! (!)

  68. T.... K....

    Love the song... also made me dig up this oldie; for some reason they click together for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD3QSxDIDjw

  69. C.... .....

    This is art.

  70. S.... L....

    When you've loved Blackstar from Bowie

  71. W.... K....

    Fabulous

  72. n.... ....

    She’s beautiful

  73. T.... N....

    For me, this is the 'real' lady gaga, in the sense of the whole mindset and persona. Her strange and beguiling personality becomes obsessive to the viewer /listener. She is NEVER 'obvious' or apparent. I could never follow 'that' lady, but can, with Aldous. I adore this track and must buy this album.

  74. L.... D....

    Which of my 50 playlists do I file this in???

  75. F.... R....

    Well, somebody had to outweird Kate Bush after all these years. And the Barrel vid looks like a Kate McKinnon SNL parody.

  76. M.... d....

    Es maravillosa, qué voz, qué belleza tan pura.

  77. R.... ....

    who shot this? and where was this shot? this is all very haunting.

    R.... ....

    Shot in Auckland, NZ

    R.... ....

    Auckland, New Zealand

  78. R.... D....

    I want to stick my dick in her mouth

  79. E.... T....

    Not sure what´s more beautiful..she or her voice....love her at all

  80. c.... ....

    A cpl years later, and she's in my top 3 female singers of all time.
    Love me some Aldous. ;)

  81. A.... l....

    I hope this isn't an insult but for some reason I think of pip proud. Even though you're not really similar it's just the style maybe? Love this song. And no disrespect to pip either it has its place.♡

  82. M.... K....

    One of the best artists that occured this decade. What a voice! Bravo 🙌

  83. P.... S....

    The worlds most interesting woman...

  84. J.... S....

    damn I was so curious to know where she was headed...

  85. P.... B....

    Does Aldous have a Cindy Sherman thing?

  86. M.... E....

    I love how she makes me feel several emotions almost neutral thru her music

  87. D.... 8....

    Christ she is the spitting image of an ex-girlfriend of mine. This makes me feel weird.

  88. F.... B....

    Got an emotional tone and quality like Antony and the Johnsons

  89. J.... T....

    killing me slowly

  90. G.... M....

    What a wonderful voice full of emotion. Great low key video showing you at your best. Please, more of the same.

  91. J.... ....

    Richard Hawley anyone..Im quickly becoming a big fan Aldous.

  92. N.... M....

    I dunno how I'm not bored by watching you in a car eating chocolate for 4 minutes straight.

  93. P.... B....

    chanelling Nico

  94. S.... B....

    Two things: what is the barrel? booze? delivery shoot (as in birth canal)? Please help.
    My take was that she is the reincarnation of Sylvia Plath, PRESENTLY married to Leonard Cohen in deep soul communion...

    S.... B....

    so many birth canals in a barrel filled with peaches?
