Imogen Heap - “Hide and Seek”

Listen to this by yourself. This is occasionally nice to listen to during the daily commute-shuffle, but it’s just not the same song without undistracted exploration.

Easily one of the most calming, relaxing songs in my library, and yet also one of the most provocative, this song is worth listening to many times in many different emotional states. Each time I listen to this, I continually discover new color in the timbre of Heap’s voice, new levels of meaning and insight in the lyrics, and new feelings in myself.

Plus it’s just fun to pretend she’s using T-Pain’s autotuner.

Close your eyes and wait for goosebumps at 2:50.
