Heap, Imogen - Tidal Lyrics






Before electric light,
You paddled through the soup of darkness as a crocodile,
Cherry picking in the river,
I would leave crisp note footprints at the Bankside

Watch it closely you will see it begin to move
Watch it closely you see it begin to flicker

[Chorus]
While we're here, let's see what happens
What we got, got to loose (what we got to loose)
While we're tidal and flexed on a full moon
It'd be a sure, sure shame to not to

In every wonder what you are
I've blurted everything I know just for a piece of it
Flash frozen, patchworked and fallow
I sprung up in hearts and arrow superhighways

Watch it closely you will see it begin to move
Watch it closely you see it begin to flicker

[Chorus]

Do what you feel just how you like
Nobody has to know [x2]

Watch, watch...watch...watch, watch...
What we got to loose...

[Chorus]

Do it for England
Do it for love
Do it for us
Do it for goodness sake
Do it for all the times
We wished we had

Do what you want, just how you like
Nobody has to know [x2]

    She's a damn genius! Gorgeous song! Imogen Heap = 🏆

  17. D.... M....

    My estranged sister Cynthia introduce me to her and this album nearly 7 1/2 years ago but now we don't talk each other anymore and she now just distance herself from me and my family. I'll always remember her by imogen heap's ellipse album

  18. S.... F....

    Why does this song make me think of Ghost in The Shell ?

  19. Q.... H....

    ellipse is a masterpiece. earth and canvas are two of my favorites but there are tracks like 2-1 and tidal with worlds of their own. as much as I love imogen heap's music, I miss Guy Sigsworth's gifted production.

  20. d.... m....

    Jay Z loves this song

    d.... m....

    did he sample it? or did he tell so?

    d.... m....

    Really wish Immi had put out a music video for this song. Can't begin to imagine what kind of euphoric bombastic brilliance she would have come up with.

    The outro of this song is pretty much my favourite of any song ever.

    This song is perfect, somehow live it's even better. Unreal. What a beautiful artist.

    D.... B....

    I cocanuld tell, I watched a video live of her performing in the Royal Albert Hall, this is wicked!!! Imogen is definitely "Heap"'

  39. N.... S....

    thanks to o.c California I got to know this wonderful artist

  40. y.... a....

    just disovered Imogen Heap ! what an amazing artist!!!

  41. N.... T....

    Imogen Heap, you are amazing!

  42. M.... ....

    Dang, my comments pretty old. But yeah, I a bit infatuated with her and her music (a little weird), so I wrote that comment. I apologize, didn't really realize that when I wrote the comment, didn't mean to offend.

  43. L.... l....

    "the only person who has music that THEY come up with"
    please.
    Check your facts before you diss.
    Lots of artists write up their music without a manager.
    Thank you.

  44. r.... g....

    "while we're here lets see what happens, what we got got got to looooooooose" i love this song ><

  45. 3.... ....

    What can I add that hasn't already been said? You are all right, except for a naysayer. Maybe just that you should do it for yourself, above all. "Do it for England, do it for love...Do it for us, do it for goodness sake...Do it for all the times, we wished we had...Do what you want, just how you like...Nobody has to know...." Wonderful!

  46. H.... D....

    So beautiful, is the first time that I listen this song and this artist, and I love that song!
    I'm thinking to make a remix of this song!

  47. S.... B....

    That would be true if she wasn't a fucking horrible musician.

  48. W.... ....

    Youtube recommendation system brought me here. Thank God it did.

  49. l.... ....

    I am so in love <3

  50. X.... G....

    Have you ever seen her live performances of Just For Now, Goodnight and Go, OR even First Train Home? I was floored by her live performances, yes her voice is different than on a recording, but still beautiful and still amazing! She has been producing her own music since she was sixteen (If I Were a Butterfly) for the music, not the profit, have you seen her vlogs, her entire series on the making of Ellipse? Have you seen how she produces her music? Research before you start talking down!

  51. F.... C....

    mikadry sconti fino all 50%

  52. N.... R....

    Let's all agree to disagree.

  53. S.... ....

    You have a good point, there is enough hate on the internet as it is. But sometimes it's just infuriating to think that there are little bubblegum pop singers with no real talent that get more recognition than some one like Imogen heap.

  54. A.... A....

    I absolutely love this song

  55. L.... H....

    Why can't people like you take a compliment like it was meant to be instead of blowing it out of porportion?

  56. T.... ....

    Like if Lil B The Based God Brought you Here. Task Force reporting in, Protect Lil B at all costs.

  57. S.... B....

    ariana bought me here

  58. I.... ....

    Who the fuck is Ariana?
    I brought myself here.

  59. R.... L....

    Thumbs up if Imogen heap brought you here :/

  60. T.... ....

  62. S.... B....

  63. P.... G....

  64. K.... ....

    Ariana Grande Sent me :D

  65. J.... S....

    Ariana bought me here. just like the rest of y'all.

  66. S.... A....

    I'm here because of Ariana Grande :)

  67. V.... D....

    Like if Ariana brought you here!

  68. A.... G....

    WOW! <3

  69. j.... ....

    Agreed @Ankit Ojha I love the deeper background vocals in the second chorus. Adds such a sensual touch to the music... Chills down the spine!

  70. A.... O....

    Notice the Gameboy-MIDI Background scores, Indian semi-classical vocals and Indian flutes in the background! Noticing them will make you love this track even more. And the amazing pads. and the layers of strings. And Heap's passionate singing. Okay, everything about this song is just perfect.

  71. T.... S....

    - great piece!

  72. W.... ....

    Amazing artist! If she would work on some strictly instrumental tracks simply for the sake of the beauty of sound I bet even Armin Van Buuren and Armada Music would applaud!

  73. L.... ....

    3:25 jest MOJE!

  74. E.... ....

    I'm sorry I think you commented on the wrong video.

  75. T.... B....

    I love her voice....

  76. a.... o....

    No she doesn't @powerpeanutpixar

  77. H.... ....

    @PowerPeanutPixar no, she doesn't.

  78. A.... ....

    Imogen Heap es la Julieta Venegas británica

  79. C.... G....

    Imogen is amazing live. But she uses technology to manipulate her voice, to take something beautiful and make it perfect.

  80. A.... ....

    I'm so eager to click on her related videos to see what other good songs she has but I'm wayyy too amazed by this song to click away haha

  81. J.... A....

    I am aware of this and I did do my research before posting. Guy Sigsworth did the music and production for Frou Frou, not the singing though. When I said "Imogen Heap Is Frou Frou" I simply meant that she was the main and only singer for both and not just a "Related Music Artist" as animeartistlord123 seems to believe.

  82. R.... J....

    not only Imogen Heap is Frou Frou.
    Frou Frou was a duo band consisting of Imogen Heap and Guy Sigsworth. look it up on wiki ok? :)

  83. J.... A....

    Imogen Heap is Frou Frou...

  84. M.... M....

    The beginning of the instrumental was sampled in Travis Porter's "10 Bottles"

  85. I.... ....

    "while we're here, let's see what happens"<3

  86. T.... ....

    such a beautiful song from imogen and one of my favorites from her ellipse album.

  87. h.... ....

    i love this song so much so beautiful in every way.

  88. S.... ....

    Ths is euphoria music for us super sexy gals over 40. So fantantic.....

  89. R.... J....

    it reminds me of The Sims music sometimes :D

  90. M.... ....

    why the hell does this have such little views......

  91. b.... ....

    She is blessed lolz!!!

  92. b.... ....

    Lov3 It!!!

  93. I.... G....

    ciary.

  94. S.... N....

    @theoriginalksensei The first live performance I saw from her was 'Just For Now' and I was blown away! Just her a keyboard and laptop. I actually LOVED that "version" of the song better than the album. Honestly, like many amazing talents she is better raw.

  95. O.... N....

    @theoriginalksensei I agree that her live performances, for me at least, don't come close to the final releases. Though as I've learned, and if I remember correctly, she does her own edits. Lately she's even asked fans to send clips and samples of rythms, instrumentals, ect to use/get inspiration from to create new songs. If she's making the songs, AND doing the digital edits, then to me that's still all her. =P I guess that means her live performance is only only one part of a whole then, XD

  96. S.... L....

    love the way she writes her songs and how she composes her music. Even when you're down or if you're happy you can bet she's written a song that will have that emotion in it :) a very rare talent, and one she uses to her fullest capacity.

  97. t.... ....

    I am consistently unimpressed when a performer's "live" performance falls well below any online digital release. Technology can only compensate for lack of talent so much. The quality of the voice and music caught my attention, but every single live performance video I can find only serves to divulge the fact that the talent is perversely magnified surely for profit. A shame. A true shame.
