| Imogen Heap – Can't Take It In Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I only discovered this song by chance when I was looking for more of Imogen's songs on Spotify. I enjoyed both Narnia films - particularly the second one that started (after the London tube scenes) with the children arriving at Cathedral Cove on New Zealand's North Island. This song for me evokes memories of when I first discovered New Zealand which, apart from my home of England, is by far my favourite place on this planet. I do wonder whether Imogen has been to New Zealand and seen the places where the first Narnia film was shot - at a place (aptly) called Paradise, which is a tiny, tiny hamlet of 3 or 4 houses just outside a small village called Glenorchy near Queenstown (which is itself my favourite area in New Zealand). I cannot help but think that Imogen would have had that film location in mind when she wrote this song. Whenever I get the chance to go there, I too have that "Oh empty my heart" feeling; the sun's shining, the sky is a vivid and piercing blue, the Dart river rushes and gurgles past, the ancient ancient forest grows up either side of the valley and the mountains - oh, the mountains! |
