It sounds like 9/8, or some compound, three-count time.  Good song.

Yes!!  SynthPop is what makes RP so damn great.  I could listen to nothing but Imogen, Enya, Tori, Sinead, Annie, and Spandau Ballet *ALL DAY LONG* !!!!!

Nice.  I like.

But that near-continual click sounds like a CD skip.  Annoying, it is.

I need to further investigate Imogen. Every time I hear her on RP I stop and listen. Time to make a purchase.

She's just a genius of a songwriter and blessed with an angelic voice. Simply beautiful.

Nothing worse than being "almost painfully sensuous." Except perhaps being smashed over the head with a cloud of butterflies.

Love it! :-)

Love Imogen. She has such an amazing voice. like some others have mentioned here her performance at Ronnie Scotts with Jeff Beck make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. New Album soon I think/hope.........

Simply awesome. Tal Wilkenfeld's performance inspired my daughter to take up the bass... Go bunny go!!! You make your old dad proud.
 

Agreed, an amazing performance.
Haven't thought of Ronnie Scott much since he died, but there was a time when I saw him, if not regularly, several times with his quartet in Gerrard Street - first saw him in Frith Street too. And that was half a century ago.

The opening bit sounds a lot like Michael Hedges.

Reminds me of Enya (without the accent), but less annoyingly slickly over-produced. This has quite a bit more organic texture to it.

I am grateful to RP for introducing me to so many artists/songs I never would have found on my own.  My iPod is filling up.   And that's a good thing.  {#Heartkiss}

Yes, she did!  Very fun show, really personable performer, especially for such a high-tech style, I think.

I find Imogen Heap's songs captivating, I became aware of her through RP somewhere back in 2001. Always good.

Damn! The second time I hear this and I think to myself, "really, gotta buy that Florence and The Machine "Lungs" album, only to realize it's someone else.   Yet another CD that I'll probably be forced to put out cash for!!

I'm hearing straight 3/4 too. Imogen mixes it up by coming in on the 2 occasionally. Really well laid out. I'm gradually falling in love with this woman's brain...

I would say definitely 3/4, but I think there might have been some odd non-3/4 measures thrown in here and there to switch things up.  (2/4?  4/4?  Didn't start listening soon enough to figure it out)

 
Yup. Straight (3/4) waltz time (123 123 123).
