Imogen Heap-Say Goodnight and GoImogen Heap is an amazing pop artist, with beautiful electro-pop ballads of love and life, and this song, especially (along with "Hide and Seek") blends the rush of her voice and electronica instrumentation, a testimonial to the power of that love who just can't take the hint...the swirling delight, the dizzying spin of emotions--"why'd you have to be so cute/it's impossible to ignore you"--the cling of Imogen's voice, the rise and fall of the verses, with those dancing bells and keyboards balancing the vocals, flashing her smooth and cute in a grown girl kind of way, and then that bridge, the fantasy, the daydreams, rushing and powering together to the fall and rise of the instrumentals, leading again and again to that beautiful chorus and guitar solo, so fitting to express the confusion, the anticipation, and love of the song.
