Lung of love, leaves me breathless,
Tongue of fool, lap me in enmity,
Four walled secret lies among the Hessian,
And a flicker of the future,
Could've saved the cindered sister,
And I'm motioning still, they stand inside me,
And moments until, the one I leave.

Colourless I kiss her cold forehead, I feel life,
Loose it in a minute and the ones to come feel too far to care,
And I'm motioning still they stand inside me,
And moments until the one I leave.

People concertina to my private magic lantern move for me,
With the senses all inclusive,
In the theatre of triggered memories.

I'm motioning still they stand inside me,
And moments until the one I leave,
I'm motioning still they stand inside me,
And moments until the one I leave,
The moments until the one I leave,
The one I leave,
The one I leave,
The one I leave,
Motioning still,
The one I leave.

For how low she gets singing "Could've saved the cindered sister..."

Love me some Alto II.

 Welll...... you should be hearing Imogen Heap.

I saw her recently supporting Josh Groban - just her and a piano.  The set was amateur to say the least, with uncertainty and forgotten lyrics at points.  No tech, which I think is her strong point, and the audience weren't convinced.  I think she was a late stand-in, but nonetheless, we'd all paid a lot of money.

I just love this song. Imogen is so creative. This song makes me float.

                  A Fisher With Checkered Career

           Fitting a seaman cap is what we do as a living
                  Here we go feeting in a nasty weather
     Instate of leftovers on table  there'd be some washed up debris
     By chance a woman with frou frou came to rescue with a buoy.

First heard this band on RP and was initially attracted by Guy Sigworth's production and arrangements. Heap's vocals were just sort of "there" for me.

As many know but some do not, Frou Frou put out this album and then nothing since. Look for Imogen Heap (the female singer) as she has released a few CDs after the Frou Frou CD "Details" released in late 2002.

Funny, I can see where some might find that annoying, but I really like that in her voice, I like the cranberries but in much smaller doses.

Nope. It's Imogen Heap (English, not Irish).

one of my favourite artists, one of my favourite albums, and one of my favourite tracks on the album. Kudos for the good taste of both Bill and the uploader. A solid 9 from me. BTW, anyone who hasn't heard the solo albums, do so immediately. Hide & Seek from Speak for Yourself is captivating

Imogen has this incredible, unique voice - I hear her in context to Frou Frou - and she totally dominates the effort. I like her solo work just as much. She rocks.

Yes it does, she has an amazing voice and "Let go" is a really good hit, and so is this :) Much love for Frou Frou. deanofox wrote:

Feels very French. Frou Frou have a lot of soul. The manipulation of the backing and vocals only became apparent after many listens. This added to the enjoyment rather than detracting from it.

My version of Details ended up with a big scratch on it making this song skip like crazy. Son of a bitch! Awesome song, though... so sweetly layered.

Does the same for me. I don't understand why, either. I typically despise BritCheese, but for some reason Frou Frou pushes my buttons in a positive way. It probably helps that Imogen strikes me as an exceptionally lovely creature, but I'm not quite shallow enough to give a pass to pop-crap for that reason alone. There's more to it that I haven't yet been able to put my finger on.

And I wasn't sorry! I bought this instead of the revolting 5th album by Weezer on Tuesday, May 10. Made me feel a lot better about giving up on one of my favorite bands.
