It’s Sunday December 19, 2021 Our prompt from Jim Adams for Song Lyric Sunday is : lyrics associated with electronic communication devices (pagers, iPhone, Android, fax machine, computer, TV) suggested by Amy Braun, ai welove music aisasami.
Okay Everyone, yes everyone know I am totally enamoured with Imogen Heap. Over the years her music has delighted and inspired me, she even gave me encouragement whilst I was relearning to walk. Yes she answered an email I sent her.
Anyway I digress, back to the prompt, the song I have chosen is Me the Machine by Immie. The song is all about Immie being one with her computer, her gloves and music!
A blip in the algorithm
A break in the clouds
Soft circuits, jumping
Soft circuits, jumping
The pin codes of happiness
Access denied
I’m switching to manual, switching to manualOh, share a scent of that sweet summer breeze
A love for a squeeze
How can you teach me these things
Me, the machine can dreamAn acquaintance with benefits
A work in progress
Downloading romance, downloading romance
Relationship asterisk
This footnote’s in plain text
Marking your words, marking your wordsStage one, initialize moments of time
To wine and dine with neurons that know how to love
Oh me, the machine can dreamI can’t do everything
And I’ll get over it
I can’t do everything
And I’ll get over it
I don’t wanna be everything!
I just want to feel
A part of itOh, share a scent in a sweet summer breeze
A laugh or a squeeze
How can you teach me these things
Me the machine, me the machine (can dream)
Me, the machine can dream
Me, the machine can dreamSource: LyricFind
I shall let Immie tell you how the song was written, made and performed and all about her gloves.
This video is how the gloves have moved on!
Of there has to be a bonus track and that is Telephone by the glorious Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce. Words in video.
“Telephone” is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga for her third EP, The Fame Monster (2009), the reissue of her debut studio album The Fame (2008). The song features American singer BeyoncΓ©. The song was written by Gaga, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Lazonate Franklin and BeyoncΓ©. Inspired by her fear of suffocation, Gaga explained that the lyrics preferring relaxing on the dance floor to answering her lover’s phone call are a metaphor, the phone calling her representing the fear of not having worked hard enough to succeed. With the track succeeding her fifth single from The Fame, “Paparazzi“, the duet additionally embodies a fear of being suffocated and trapped by the media. Originally, Gaga wrote the song for Britney Spears, who recorded a demo. Musically, “Telephone” consists of an expanded bridge, verse-rap and a sampled voice of an operator announcing that the phone line is unreachable. BeyoncΓ© appears in the middle of the song, singing the verses in a rapid-fire way, accompanied by double beats. The song received positive reviews from critics who frequently noted “Telephone” as a stand-out track from The Fame Monster. It was Grammy-nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals in 2011. “Telephone” charted in a number of countries due to digital sales following the album’s release, namely in the United States, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and Hungary. The song was particularly successful in Europe where it reached the top of the charts in Belgium, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Norway and the United Kingdom. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the single sold 7.4 million digital copies worldwide in 2010 alone, making it one of Gaga’s best-selling singles.
Happy Sunday Everyone π

I hope I can come back later to watch all of the video from Imogen on how they made the vid – I like the behind the scenes stuff – and we get so more of them today –
and did not ever hear the Telephone song before from Gaga and it had a nice ring to it (ha)

Willow do you have your own Mi.Mu Gloves? I love the Gaga Beyonce duo Telephone although I think they could have made a better video.
Dec 19, 2021 @ 13:14:57

No I don’t have my own Mi Mu Gloves I wish I did ππ

Wow Willow. What a great choice and you gave us a bonus when there was enough bonuses just in Imogen Heap. I shared the frustrations and fears of those collaborators during the making of Me The Machine. What a determined and driven lady!

I imagine that a derivative of those gloves would be really useful and instructive for many on the autistic spectrum.
Dec 19, 2021 @ 20:19:49
They are an amazing tool and no doubt have many uses apart from music

Sensory rooms for those living with dementia….the list is endless. I wish I could fund the developments.
Dec 19, 2021 @ 20:55:56
That’s an amazing idea Peter…. I wonder if she has thought of that π
Dec 19, 2021 @ 20:59:56
I imagine her mind is constantly thinking of new innovations.
Dec 19, 2021 @ 21:03:46
It’s just amazing really
