Daylight Robbery

Friday, December 19, 2008
I heard this song while I was in this songwriting phase. I kept thinking about a chorus that not only gets you everytime but also utters some phrase for ultimate relief. I had Hard Gay crying out, "Hooooo!" in my head for almost the rest of the car trip.

This song came from one of my mom's albums for driving. Imogen Heap's soft and serene voice was perfect for cruising and the album consists of almost every genre available. From RnB to epic pop. It wasn't until I heard Track no.7 'Daylight Robbery' when it finally caught my attention. It came as a surprise when the chorus came, I never thought a voice so small and simple could be so powerful in its own way. To get the idea, here's the live version below. It still has the same intensifying tune that catches you whenever you feel down. Just say, "Ha-oooo!"



Daylight Robbery by Imogen Heap
Don't mind me,
Just cruising by,
by the girl with the balloon,
Good it looks like we're the only ones around,
Caught on CCTV,
Heading towards the city lights,
winking diamonds at me,
arms stretched out now,

Ha-oooooooooo, it gets me everytime

Sexy baby,
Happiness and silhouettes,
revolving in the deep water,
indigo its high tide,
night sky,
Pleasure moment,
thinking big
thinking positive
and itching to get on with it,
its all stops out

excess is the new moderation
get all dressed up to the power of ten
raise glasses on repeat,
again, again, again, again, again, again

ha-ooooo it gets me everytime

oh, wade in the sonic joy,
Pleasure in the wave and synchronise,
sway in the sonic joy,

ha-oooooo it gets me everytime

everytime, it gets me right here
