Imogen Heap – Tiny Human
I love Immie I am sure you have all grasped that. She kept me sane when I was in hospital after breaking my back, three operations, learning to walk, cope with pain and without being too dramatic learning to accept my limits and live.
Well here is truly beautiful song she has written about birth and motherhood since the birth of her beautiful baby girl Scout. Every mother and father will recognize the words, emotions and feelings expressed so beautifully in the song . The video reduces me to tears each time I watch………. tissues please.
Oh my tiny human
At 05:08 you break me apart again
The space-time continuum
Buckles and bends around your every twist and turn
I can barely remember life before
You came crashing in on one day
Crazy beautiful you
Blind me like the dawn
After ashes fell on Pompeii
Crazy beautiful you
A miracle, a mystery
And one short stop away
From joy to misery
When the night becomes day
I give you my every last ounce
You make a pin-cushion out of me
And you can thank me later, babe (if I’m alive)
How long can one live without sleep?
Still I can’t stand to imagine
Life without….
You came crashing in on one day
Crazy beautiful you
Blind me like the dawn
After ashes fell on Pompeii
Crazy bright beautiful you
Suddenly propelled
So many light years from bliss
And completely unprepared
How can anyone deserve this?
I’ve tried, I’ve tried all the tricks in the book, I’m at my wits end
Now look here what do you want from me!?
I can barely remember life before…
You came crashing in on one day
Crazy beautiful you
From the ashes of Pompeii
To fireworks and champagne
Crazy beautiful you
You little devil, you
Oh I love you so much
It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done
But you’re so worth it
Yes you are
Yes you are
You little devil, you
