Oh my god I can’t believe I actually found this song. My older sister downloaded it onto my screenless MP3 player when I was 10 or 11 and I never knew the name of the song or band. It has been about 12 years since then, that MP3 player is gone, my sister lives in a different city and I know this song now. Edit: just thought I'd let you all know, my sister moved back to our home town to get her master's degree and we spend almost every day together now. Don't forget the connections that made you and seek out the ones that still bring you joy

It seems like ages ago, but when I was going thru one of the worst times in my life and wasn't sure if I could continue on with all the death, money problems, and general chaos in my life, this song somehow seemed to settle my anxiety and made me feel that things weren't going to remain as bad. Things aren't super spectacular as of now, but they're a lot better, and this song still seems to help.

This song hits the heart so intensely. I didn’t know I needed to hear this song again until now. It’s changed my mindset and saved me from the dark side of myself.

Love the sound of this woman's voice. Such exquisite soundscapes she paints with her harmonies. Instantly identifiable and immensely enjoyable.

This song was always something I’d listen to a few years ago when I was in a bad place and considering taking my life... it till this day still makes me cry like a baby

This song helped me through my first friend breakup at 14, when i realized who i thought was my best friend was a bully and i needed to cut myself off from her, which was such a scary thing to do for me. How crazy to return to this songs so many years later and see how it helped so many other people through those tough adolescent years. Thanks Imogen for watching over all of us outcasts 💜

This is one of my favorite songs and the the emotion put into this is amazing as always of course. Love you Immy!♥️♥️

Ahh what a pleasant morning surprise. I love all of your music. Fantastic song!

Thank you for this incredible song. It's helped me thru a lot of dark times. Please do not ever stop creating. You're truly inspirational

Still love this song - the first Imogen song I ever heard 💕

I wish I could meet you sometime. You are so much like Nik Kershaw. An Awesome element of England and yet, unknown in the US. I Live in Kansas. I know the band Kansas. I am unsure If you have ever heard of them. I have played here and about in the U.S. for 30+ years... I think you are the most. The overwhelming Artist. Ironically, you and Nik never caught on here. But I listen to you both forever. DO NOT STOP. The American audience just needs to wake up. This current "hit makers" will die soon. They don't speak like you. Truly from your Heart. I truly Envy you. CJ

Simply beautiful

love this
