      Vocal cords are fickle instruments. Just a gust of cold air, or a bit of dehydration, humidity, the time of day, even some paracetamol will totally change the way they react. And, of course, the effect of ageing.
      She handles it well though. It’a a beautiful song and she’s a great artist. It’s always very hard to hit that one note that takes 100% to get just right. Some days you just can’t muster more than 95.

Music should be imperfect and I really admire the artists who embrace that.

      I can understand where artists come from when they want people to love all their work and not just one song.
      But I feel like if I was an artist, I’d love my one BIG song with the whole crowd cause sometimes you gotta respect what built you instead of what you built. That one big song is for the crowd and artists who don’t play their one big song are kinda selfish
      A lot of metal bands will give of playing their old shit and leave the fans high and dry when really we all want that banger off the first album :)

      @Robert Kim .: If they have similar neural networks / consciousness to us, they'll be saddened the beautiful, curious, massive-potential-for-good talking monkeys seemed to have one deity, projected from small mobile devices and flat screens all monkeys stared at their entire lives...(and which must not have had the foresight to shepherd its human flock to realize unending consumption always meets nature's law of species die-off after critical mass). And they'll be elated that the brilliant blue-green mudball of spaceship Earth was not nearly destroyed by the monkeys in their too-late realization of the connected-ness we all share with stardust and potential and each other. This is a natural park in the cosmos park system. I hope we actualize our realizations before sci-fi movie plots like my wall-of-text is spewing are just a bio on our stardust tombstone. Spiral on and in... :)

    One of my all-time favorites. Imgogen Heap is a most creative artist/inventor. Ariana Grande worked with her to learn to use her musical gloves to perform this song live in a charmingly sweet performance.
    I saw Imogen live in a small theater and requested Hide & Seek. She complied but said it wasn’t as good without the electronics. Though I agreed I had to say, “Sorry, loved it!” On the way out I ran smack face-to-face into the stunning Daryl Hannah and I couldn’t even stop I was still so moved by Imogen’s performance. A true polymath. I love her.
