Lyrics

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

Tiny Human

Written as a commission, to make a song that may scientifically help make babies happier! All a bit odd but was fun to do. Scout was integral to the making of the song of course! There's a little making of doc arriving soon for an insight. For now, here are the lyrics. I've decided to officially release Tiny Human on the same day (as I never actually released it anywhere other than on my website and put the video on YouTube). I like the idea that these two songs, one of the trials of early motherhood and the other, a song to sing with your little one for better times go together. Almost like an old fashioned A and B side. You can decide what would be the A or the B side! Here are the lyrics. Inspired by Scout as she LOVED transport and learned how to say helicopter when she was staying in London with us, as I composed the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play music. Hope you and any little ones you may have or know LOVE it and that it has the intended effect.

Lyrics 

Bring bring on the bicycle 
Beep beep in the car
Ping ping a submarine 
phew phew helicopter
A choo choo train an aeroplane 
Or whee down the slide

I just adore 'dore 'dore you every day more 
Wherever we are

So up in the sky
And deep in the ocean 
Through valleys and hills 
Away we go

Bring bring on the bicycle 
Beep beep in the car
Ping ping a submarine 
Phew phew helicopter
A choo choo train an aeroplane 
A rocket to the stars! 

There’s a dance dance dance going on in my heart
Wherever we are

So up in the sky
And deep in the ocean 
Through valleys and hills 
Away we go

You oo oo little monkey who’s staying up late
Who purrs like a cat when they get their own way
Who then turns into a lion and let’s out a 
ROAR!!!

I love love love you every day more
Whatever’s in store

Wooo up in the sky
And deep in the ocean 
Through valleys and hills 
Away we go

Glittering Cloud (Locusts)

Self-produced, independent, engaged, she blurs the boundaries between pure art form and creative entrepreneurship. Heap has always communicated and collaborated with her loyal following (currently she has over 2.2m twitter followers alone) both on and offline in pioneering ways. This has included fans contributing sounds, words and ideas through her inventive Listening Chair project for example or taking on a whole city in China for her song Xizi She Knows.

Her graceful tunes such as signature track Hide & Seek populate movies and TV shows, accompany dance and theatre performances and more recently, have been sampled by a whole new generation of young rappers and producers. On the more commercial end and being an 'artistąs artist', Heap has penned songs for and with Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Mika and Josh Groban among others.

Her Mimu Gloves project a cutting edge experimental gestural music ware developed initially for Imogen’s studio and stage work was premiered at TEDU Global 2011 and since has attracted worldwide interest from the New Scientist, BBC tv and radio, Wired, Dezeen, Mashable.. the list goes on. Now Heap can be found collaborating and supporting new Mimu glovers' who range from pop starlet Ariana Grande to the the leading UK charity working in music, disability and technology, Drake Music. Other technology projects have included a generative and reactive music jogging app, explorations in 3D sound with leading engineers and technologists and Arboreal Lightning, a sound and movement reactive LED tree spanning over 1.5km!

In August 2014 Imogen curated and headlined a 4 day festival of contemporary classical music with heavy leanings in technology, bursting with installations to inspire at London’s iconic Roundhouse Camden.

Heap’s albums have been nominated 4 times for Grammys winning her one for engineering, an Ivor Novello award, The Pioneer award in 2015 from the Artist and Manager awards and recently another Grammy for her contribution to Taylor Swift’s album 1989.

Imogen has now added to her roles. Mum, as her little girl Scout was born in November 2014 on her living room floor. True to form of Imogen’s creative character to draw from and experiment with whatever may be going on around her at the time, Scout is the percussionist on Tiny Human, the first song after her birth.

To release Tiny Human, Imogen started to think on how the music industry could be improved in the wake of blockchain technology and smart contracts. So in her spare time, Imogen’s been speaking and meeting up mostly about what she calls ‘Mycelia’ - A foundation from which to create, champion and maintain the ethical, technological and commercial standards required to run a fair trade music industry.

Heap has recently produced the music for the Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, theatre production. J.K Rowling's next story in the series has opened at the Palace Theatre in London’s West End, May 2016.

In 2017, you may see Imogen in a town near you as she’s planning her much awaited next World Tour!
