Single of The Day: Imogen Heap - First Train Home

Oleh: welly - 04 Sep 2009

PhotobucketImogen Heap merupakan penyanyi asal Inggris yang juga mantan vocalis group Electronica, Frou Frou. Di tahun 2005, dia sempat di nominasikan 2 Grammy Awards utk album keduanya "Speak For Yourself" yang di tulis dan di produseri sendiri.

Di tahun ini, Imogen Heap merelease album ke-3nya "Ellipse" dengan single pertama 'First Train Home'. Dengan mengambil ranah musik electronica, nama Imogen Heap emang tidak asing lagi. Sayangnya secara penjualan, dua album pertamanya boleh dibilang tidak terlalu sukses secara komersil karena genre itu tadi. Tapi, di single terbaru ini sepertinya Imogen Heap sudah berusaha untuk menggabungkan unsur komersil yang dipadu dengan Electronic Pop yang di usungnya. Buktinya, single ini cukup sukses di sini dengan jadi jawara di beberapa Radio.

Lagu ini tercipta oleh Imogen Heap ketika dia di ajak temannya ke sebuah festival di Brighton, tapi karena terlalu ramai, dia jadi pengen pulang balik ke rumahnya dengan naik kereta... dan itu tersirat banget di dalam liriknya ini dan begitu juga Video Clipnya.

Lyrics:

(I've got to get on it) (3x)

Bodies disengaged, our mouths are fleshing over.

It's just an echo game, irises retreating

to ovals of white.

The urge to feel your face

And blood rushing to paint my handprint

A Frisbee one by one

Your vinyl on lamanent

Desperate for some kind of contact.

First train home, I've got to get on it (3x)

To Catch, to catch, catch catch catch.

First train home, I've got to get on it (3x)

First Train home

Temporal deadzone where clocks are barely breathing

Yet no one cares to notice for all the yelling

All night clamor to hold it together.

I want to play don't wait forms in the hideaway

I want to get on with getting on with things

I want to run in fields, paint the kitchen

And love someone

And I can't do any of that here, can I?

First train home, I've got to get on it (3x)

First Train home

So what? You've had one too many.

So what? I'm not that much fun to be with

So what? You've come silly hatter

So what? I didn't want to come here, anyway.

What matters you, doesn't matter, matter to me.

What matters to me, doesn't matter, matter to you.

What matters to you, doesn't matter, matter to them.

What matters to them, doesn't change anything.

Got to get on it first train home.

Got to get on it first train home

First train home I've got to get on it

(I've got to get on it)

To catch, to catch, catch-catch, catch.

(First train home)

First train home I've got to get on it

First train home.

(First train home)

To go, to go, to go

Get, get, get, get

Out, out, out, out

Now, now, now, now
