For does who didnt know the meaning of this song read this. Heap has been reluctant to say exactly what inspired this song, but most of what she's said indicates that she wrote this song about the separation of her parents when she was 12 and her father finding a new wife. "Crop circles in the carpet" means the furniture has been moved out and all that is left are crop circle imprints. "Oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before" means photos have been taken down. All signs that someone is moving out of the home. Heap has called the images "a collection of childhood memories." >> This is an a cappella song that Heap came up with after her computer died on her. With no computer to work on, she decided to try a piece of equipment she hadn't yet used to work on a song: a harmonizer. She used the processing device hooked up to her keyboard to come up with a melody, which happened very quickly around 2 a.m. She recorded a rough demo, which she faithfully recreated in the studio. In 2005, this was used in a climactic scene from the season 2 finale ("The Dearly Beloved") of The O.C. when the character Marissa shoots Trey, who is trying to kill Ryan. In 2007, the song was used in a Saturday Night Live digital short with Shia LaBeouf that parodied the scene. In 2009, Jason DeRulo sampled this song for his debut single "Whatcha Say." It topped the UK chart and reached #3 in the UK, earning Heap a nice little sum.
This should be top comment not meme shit although i love AND hate the jason derulo song Don’t mean to gatekeep, but this song got me through my parents disowning me for being gay and a many suicidal moments all before 🎵Jason DeRulooooo🎵… but good god was his sample fresh asf👌🏽 I appreciated it later but at first i was pissed lol I hope she’s sitting high on the hog with those top ten royalty checks! Hell yes!
Thank you for providing this!!! Found this back when I was in middle school and as an adult it’s been in my head lately. I watched Ariana Grande sing it and was floored she knew it! Sorry for my word vomit. 🙃 Again, thank you! This is a beautiful bit of knowledge.
‘That you only meant well?/Well of course you did.’ Just a devastatingly effective song. Those two lines alone are so charged with emotion. Accusation, hurt, and just a little bit of understanding. It’s so raw.
i never realized how powerful the meme part of this song is. like theres passion and anger in the lyrics and the tone and we just never noticed bc of its meme status
This is like auto-tune, singing in front of an electric fan, recording an audio from a device through a microphone, and having a cold at the same time. I love it.
This actual song, I never knew outside of the few lyrics that are a meme and included in Jason DeRulos' song. But now, my best friend showed it to me and told me about how much it means to him as a child who experienced a divorce. I don't have any experiences, but nevertheless, his showing me what this song means to him has caused me to perceive this song in a different way.
I hate how the song got popular for the "mm watcha say part". I wish it was well known for the entire piece itself, rather than just that part. This is a beautiful and amazing song and Imogen is my queen
You know, looking at it objectively, the hook at 2:55 is musically one of the best parts of this song, but because it got sampled and memed so much, I feel like it's my least favorite part. It's like when you say a word so many times that it doesn't even sound like a word any more; I've heard the hook so many times that it doesn't feel like it belongs in this song
this song would have an amazing remake to this day. the hook would sound very different most likely and the anger in it would probably more expressed. it really is beautiful but.. feels so dumb now
This song is about a kid's perspective going through a divorce? "Oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before (Family photos)" "Crop circles forming in the carpet (Furniture being moved)
For some reason I thought it was about a person who was murdered and was a ghost in their old house where the murder happened...like a murder suicide where a lover killed her and then took their own life. Now she sees where the old furniture has already been moved out, etc. She's bitter when perhaps she hears someone will move in soon, even though it only just happened. (They were here first...as in her things...she...was here first) I'm probably the only person who thinks that lmao.
edit: yeah the jason derulo actually stole the part lol nvm Dipsticks Had a life. Art. If you didn’t know there is a song called watcha say that uses the mm watcha say part. It’s buy Jason derelict Edit: I meant Jason derulo but it put derelict lmao.
I love the different meanings people have for this song, some say the Holocaust(my personal favorite), abusive families/relationships, and it really shows how good this song is.
Idk where the Holocaust thing came from, Heap themself said its more to do with parents splitting when you're young so people have taken it way out of context to apply basically genocide to it
I did not expect this song to be THAT meme. It sounded so sad, so touching and heartbreaking and BAM - you give me THIS? "mmh, what you say-" Of ALL things existing, I did NOT expect THIS to come!
This song is a lot prettier when you know what it's about. Imogen wrote this when her parents got divorced and her family was being torn apart. Most of the imagery describes what an empty house looks like when you're moving out and remembering the fun times you've had and seeing it all dissapear in front of you. Sad, but beautiful.
Thank you. Yes, it is. People are free to interpret it however they wish, but that is exactly what she was writing about. It's a relief when the author actually informs people because it grounds things for those who simply wish to understand what inspired the lyrics.
This song is about the Holocaust. The bridge is about the general Holocaust. "Hide and seek." Meaning, hiding from the Nazis. "Trains and sewing machines." Meaning, the trains used to transport the people to concentration camps and the sewing machines women were often forced to work with, until they died from malnutrition, starving, or execution. "All those years they were here first." Meaning, that the Jewish religion was there before Hitler. The Chorus is mostly about Hitler. She uses a lot of sarcasm in it. Basically she means that she can't believe that Hitler did this and claimed that it was for the best. The first and third verses are about when the Jewish people first arrived at the camps and their houses had been ransacked. "The dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet." Meaning, the empty houses. "Oily marks appear on walls, where pleasure moments hung before." Meaning, the items gone.
ohmygod you are brilliant in a metaphorical person but I just couldn't get this song I just thought this song was related to war-ish and I'm guess I'm right 🙈
The lyrics in this song can be up for interpretation, because we all have different experiences. Ik the songs lyrics were originally meant to be about a kids perspective having divorced parents. But personally, this song leaves me reminiscing over old memories that made me happy before. I reminisce about being with my family, who at times it feels like they hate me. But this song always brings me back to before all the mistakes and arguments and confusion.
Expresses immense pain, helplessness, stress & anxiety with a desperate yearn for hope & optimism most kids between 6 & 13 feel as their parents divorce or split up..
when i first heard this song i didnt know english, and i used to fall asleep to it, sounded like my mother singing. Now i know english. What a bitter song. still beautiful tho
I'll never stop loving this song. The harmonies gave me ASMR-like stimulation long before I had any idea what ASMR was. Such a beautiful song that has helped me through some really difficult times (and overall is so very underrated). Definitely one of my favorites.
I was born in 2001, and I grew up in the wild west of CZcams and later formative years of the internet in general. For so long this song has been a meaningless meme, but now: It's a masterpiece. This song deserves more recognition as one of the greats...big only it didn't get sampled
You know what's funny, when I discovered the meme, i went to look for the full song. One of my substitute teachers players played the song and said the name of it and I recognized it. I was smirking the whole time as I waited for the meme part to begin. When it did, my whole class was like "OH MY G-SIR!!! SIR WHY!?" and I was just smiling to myself
Me in beginning of video:Man, this looks interesting, it's so cool. Why haven't I heard of this before? Me at 2:55 : WAIT WHAT?!!!! THIS IS WHERE THAT CAME FROM?!!!!! OMG X,D
+I sold my soul to tumblr No, I came for the whole song. The _entire_ song is good. Jason Derulo soiled this song, making everyone only care about the bridge. Pisses me off. Heck, some people think Derulo is the original artist of that bit. Sickening.
I normally never comment twice, but uh. This song is really good?? Like it makes me wanna cry kinda good? Idk why??? The tunes it hits and ugh-- it just, reminds me of when I was younger, and still a little kid. Before all these problems hit. An oblivious little kid with an amazing life. All smiles and laughter. Full of love and genuine emotion. Yes, the kid who started therapy for anger and anxiety in only 1st grade, but the kid who had 90% happy on the little emotion pie chart she made. The kid who loved her friends and family to such an high extent that she never considered they could ever do something wrong. The kid who openly shared emotions with her parents and wanted to be with her friends every chance she got. The auto toned sounding voice reminds me of my Grandad's keyboard/piano. He played it constantly, and still does to this day. He let me and my siblings press the keys and make little songs. It was one of the keyboards that came with sound effect noises if you switched it to a certain setting. One of them was the "Mmm, what you say". This song just, somehow reminds me of those days. The days when I knew I had anxiety and just considered it as a part of me, not a problem that could lead me to where I am today. Idk. Thanks for reading.
IKR! "When ur pizza falls on ground" "When food is too hot" "Lolzor auto tune" "Mememememe" "Skip to 99:99 for the best the other part is trash" Srsly fucking hate all this.
I feel like it's not stated enough how good this sounds despite lacking a backtrack of virtually any sort. All there is, is vocals with some kind of synthesizer over them.
I discovered this song very shortly after it was released, and I fell in love with Imogen Heap. I'm beyond annoyed with the fact it was bastardized by Jason DeRulo, and then later turned into a meme. People have no idea what they're missing out on by having this song completely ruined for them. It's such a beautiful and heartwrenching song, and despite everything I will always love it.
im twelve now and when I was younger my dad and I listed to this very often. and today this song just came up in my brain. and this song meant a lot for me. fantastic song. I was like 4 to 5 years old. I'm like crying.
After reading a bunch of comments I am struck with appreciation for the fact that I’m too old to know about any meme status to this song and just get to appreciate the fuck out of it

God, a capella is an underrated genre. I love these kind of songs.
Metal Sonic? [Adrian] same and i’m happy because i’m in color guard and this is the song the band is going to play for marching season
This TECHNICALLY isn't a capella, as Imogen is using a keyboard to vocode her voice.
However, its still a damn good song.
Recommendations?
?
I actually think the fact that this isn't an a capella song is part of what makes it so special.
i never realized how powerful the meme part of this song is. like theres passion and anger in the lyrics and the tone and we just never noticed bc of its meme status
That's what I liked about that part before it became a meme.

It’s about divorce

This is like auto-tune, singing in front of an electric fan, recording an audio from a device through a microphone, and having a cold at the same time.

it's called a vocoder !
To do the effect she used synth kind of things and layered her voice.

Most of the imagery describes what an empty house looks like when you're moving out and remembering the fun times you've had and seeing it all dissapear in front of you. Sad, but beautiful.
The "mm whacha say" part and what comes after that describes the custody battle between the parents.

You know what's funny, when I discovered the meme, i went to look for the full song. One of my substitute teachers players played the song and said the name of it and I recognized it. I was smirking the whole time as I waited for the meme part to begin. When it did, my whole class was like "OH MY G-SIR!!! SIR WHY!?" and I was just smiling to myself
I want this playing at my funeral, and the "mmm whatcha say" part to hit as my coffin is lowered in my grave.

Studio director: how much auto tune do you want?
Imogen heap: *yes*
Bandanit I know this is a joke but it’s not auto tuned.
Its not autotune its vocoder fx
Me in beginning of video:Man, this looks interesting, it's so cool. Why haven't I heard of this before?

Sam Parenti HAHAHAAHAHA SO ACCURATE

This song actually reminds me of the feeling of dissociation...
This song is so incredibly far beyond and above any stupid meme.

Thank you bro, we are all sick, you saved 2 precious minutes of my time in wich I could be watching porn or sleeping.

No, I came for the whole song. The _entire_ song is good. Jason Derulo soiled this song, making everyone only care about the bridge. Pisses me off. Heck, some people think Derulo is the original artist of that bit. Sickening.
Imogen Heap - Hide And Seek
Jason Derulo - Whatcha say
Yeah really shows his song is built around the sample of this song.
There are two different types of people.

I normally never comment twice, but uh. This song is really good?? Like it makes me wanna cry kinda good? Idk why??? The tunes it hits and ugh-- it just, reminds me of when I was younger, and still a little kid. Before all these problems hit. An oblivious little kid with an amazing life. All smiles and laughter. Full of love and genuine emotion. Yes, the kid who started therapy for anger and anxiety in only 1st grade, but the kid who had 90% happy on the little emotion pie chart she made. The kid who loved her friends and family to such an high extent that she never considered they could ever do something wrong. The kid who openly shared emotions with her parents and wanted to be with her friends every chance she got.
The auto toned sounding voice reminds me of my Grandad's keyboard/piano. He played it constantly, and still does to this day. He let me and my siblings press the keys and make little songs. It was one of the keyboards that came with sound effect noises if you switched it to a certain setting. One of them was the "Mmm, what you say".
This song just, somehow reminds me of those days. The days when I knew I had anxiety and just considered it as a part of me, not a problem that could lead me to where I am today. Idk. Thanks for reading.
Same here
Man it's amazing how memes can introduce people to great bangers such as this one.
My thoughts with this and "Can you feel my heart"
Bizarre song with with one of the catchiest hooks sitting in the middle of it- which makes it even stranger
“Mr.Stark, I don’t feel so good....”
*fades away*
Mmmm watchu say
"Mr stark you don't look so good"
"If i hear one more pop culture reference out of you"
I DON'T SAY ANYTHING IM CHOKING ON MY SOBS
This is the saddest song iv ever heard , it scares me to a very deep level
Ever have a song hit you in the soul? Makes you feel alive.

Srsly fucking hate all this.
Oh my god same here
Same, it really pisses me off
+EverythingIsMacabre LOL SNL RUINED THSI SONG!! #PISSD #NOFUNALLOWED #RAZORBLADES
Just ignore the comments :v
I feel like it's not stated enough how good this sounds despite lacking a backtrack of virtually any sort. All there is, is vocals with some kind of synthesizer over them.
True
listen to nctrn - stay

I discovered this song very shortly after it was released, and I fell in love with Imogen Heap. I'm beyond annoyed with the fact it was bastardized by Jason DeRulo, and then later turned into a meme. People have no idea what they're missing out on by having this song completely ruined for them. It's such a beautiful and heartwrenching song, and despite everything I will always love it.
Agreed e
I mean that was the only good part of the song
I have always unironically loved this song, it´s very fun to harmonize with.
im twelve now and when I was younger my dad and I listed to this very often. and today this song just came up in my brain. and this song meant a lot for me. fantastic song. I was like 4 to 5 years old. I'm like crying.
Mr Welbert dang
i know
Hey I am a year late however, I was nine when I heard this song, it is deep in my memory
Have you seen snl mmm whatcha say?
Same my my mom I think would play this a lot but I was 3 I don't know
Her voice is beautiful, I hate how people turned this into a meme.
Ikr?
true. I still love this song and just ignore the memes so they don't ruin it for me.
+Benetikov Family wait meme?? what meme?
Zarria Bleu The, "Mmm, watch'cha say, you only meant well?" is a meme.
I like the deep ones that have this song
After reading a bunch of comments I am struck with appreciation for the fact that I’m too old to know about any meme status to this song and just get to appreciate the fuck out of it
