Music Obsession entry #1: PSYCHOBABBLE

A good friend introduced me to the music of Frou Frou a few years back. I was going thru a stupidly shallow heartache and he thought the song "Hear Me Out" would make me feel better. Ha! Made me feel worse. I was the slow motion accident Imogen Heap was singing about.

But it also did start my long obsession with Imogen Heap and her music. Fast forward to the present and I still find Imogen's haunting voice unwinding and nerve-wracking all at once. Her beautiful lyrics only heighten emotions that normally lie dormant in a sensible lass like me, somehow driving me forward without having the need to commit suicide along the way. Does that make sense?

I love running with her voice in my ears.

This particular song embodies everything that I love about her craft. I mean, what genius mind can come up with the line,"If love is surrender, then whose war is it anyway?"

I swear, I'll watch her live someday.
==============================================
How did you get this number?
I can't get my head round you
Of course you're not coming over
Snap out of it, you're not making any sense

You couldn't be more wrong, darling
I never gave out these signs
You misunderstood, no meaning
Snap out of it, I'm not falling for this one

If love is surrender
Then whose war is it anyway?

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come in any closer
'Cause I don't know how long I can hold my heart in two

If you think that it's so damn easy
Then what do you need me for?
Just look at the state of you, babe
Snap out of it, you're not listening to this

And just for once could you
Let me finish a sentence?

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come in any closer
'Cause I don't know how long I can hold my heart in two
Make no sudden movements
And no one need get hurt
You're making me nervous
If you know what's good for me, why would I be leaving you?

Now I've had it up to here
Don't ever try that again
Why are you so quiet so suddenly?
Go on, I bet you're just dying to try me

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come in any closer
'Cause I don't know how long I can hold my heart in two
Make no sudden movements
And no one need get hurt
You're making me nervous
If you know what's good for me, why would I be leaving you?

So what do we do now?
