I remember growing up loving both artists so much. I remember thinking how amazing they would sound together and then literally the next day i discoverd this song. I was so shocked and became obsessed with this song.
Потрясающая песня о запретной любви Вот уже сколько лет не перестаёт будоражить 💔 Amazing song about borbidden love. Keeps touching my heart for so many years
а можете обьяснить смысл песни? почему по итогу девушка костюме умирает? я подумала.что здесь о чем- то связанным с трансгендерностью.а не запретной любовью .но мне интересно послушать вас
@@doriflowers6434 сам Крис давал комментарии по поводу клипа. Что клип о невозможности любви между братом и сестрой, например. Он об инцесте. При прослушивании песни у меня конечно таких спуцифических ассоциаций не возникало, но просто о невозможных , несбыточных отношениях
To me, this song represents every person's deepest secrets and/or feelings. In my opinion, the secret friend is a symbol of a person's guilt or secret that they hide behind bars. It may even represent the deepest desires or fears that are generally not acceptable in "normal" society. Just my opinion :3
My secret friend Oh, take me to the river My secret friend So we can swim forever You have loved, you were not alone You have braved the weather When the storm cut you to the bone There was always shelter My secret friend I'll take you to the river My secret friend So we can swim forever In your skin to die a little death This time there's no code word When everyday frays in hollow ends Dream sweet love subversive My secret friend Oh, take me to the river My secret friend So we can swim forever Break my deepest promise Break my deepest promise Break my deepest Break my deepest promise Break my deepest promise Break my deepest Break my deepest promise Break my deepest promise Break my deepest My secret friend Oh, take me to the river My secret friend So we can swim forever
Ever since this song came out, the context to my secret friend was death. It was sad because I don’t believe sewerslide is the answer, it’s just sad I’m back here with the same feelings 10 years later… but I’m also glad to know… my secret friend is technically always there for me so I should push forward and I will always be happy to invite my secret friend into my life when it comes.
IMHO this is Immy's best collaboration out of the others I know (Blue October, Temposhark, John Hopkins). Here, her voice really stands out and I think she's right in her element. The song's intriguing, misterious, pure art. The video, marvelous, excellent work by Chris Corner.
OMG. I just discovered this. I never heard of IAMX before. And now I watched all the videos and i´m so mesmerized.. .And then i saw there is a concert in my near on the 8th and I dont know anything about IAMX... And i never went to a concert but I´d love to see the show.
Swapping gender (swapping minds?) No gender, no swapping. No society directives. No artificial patterns Fluidity. Freedom. My secret friend (is my own individuality). "So we can swim forever".
i cant lie, i always thought it was a metaphor of being trans and suffering from dysphoria, and how complicated one's identity can get, and how one may just suffer from their own self hatred, given how the people around them wont accept them for their identity. i also thought of just gender in general, such as non-binary, genderfluid, etc. but i get it tho. while i may stick to my original idea, i can see that this song may be interpreted differently, even if there is an official explanation for it. songs a banger.
how can everything in this video (including Imogen, she's a goddess) be so DARN BEAUTIFUL AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING I'M REWATCHING IT FOR LIKE 1228272837 TIME AND I THINK I WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP ANYTIME SOON HELPME
I never thought I'd be able to watch a music video over and over again but this is really awesome. I love the oddness of it. Very original and artistic.
This video is perfect and powerfull in so many ways I can't describe it... I LOVE so much this song, so languid, mysterious, yet so inviting to listen it over and over... Chris & Immi did an AMAZING AMAZING job!!!
I think I have watched this video 20 times tonight and I still cannot get over how extrememly amazing it is... IAMX u r great.... Imogen... I Love Your Voice. And you did excellent in this video I hope you know that... Chris so did you. This is byfar my most fav music vid ever!!!!!!!!
that awkward moment when you didn't pay any attention to the "random asian businessman," so you didn't realise it was imogen until about half way into the video 😅
Just saw IAMX in Austin TX. Best show ever. They played this song and my heart jumped out of my chest. He didn't even need Imogen, which surprised the hell out of me! I truly love her part. CC I love your art, it makes me weep. Thank you always. xxxxXXxxxx
and i love how they switch genders it's kind of like them embracing and acknowledging their androgynous beings. lovely and creative. ORDINARY IS SOO OVERRATED. they are here to make unique something to embrace
Disturbingly beautiful!!! Makes me feel/think a lot of different things. But that's the goal with IAMX, always open for interpretation!!!! Amazing imagery, highly artistic....I have to say I'm very impressed with Chris's attempt at directing on this vid!!! Did not disappoint!!!!
I remember when this video first came out. I couldn't get over how amazing this video is. Three and a half years later, and I still think the exact same. I love those two, they are just so damn good together.
You know a piece of film is beautiful if every single second and frame could be its own stand-alone piece of art. Chris Corner definitely has a director's eye.
One of the most beautiful things I´ve ever heard. I think this stuff can be metaphor too. About our lives, about our desires, which we want to fulfil. Other song says: "Too far gone to see the light". But thanks IAMX. In his music is something special, something which gives me hope :-)
I'm just gonna call them Chris and Heap for understanding. I see this video like the room is in Heaps head, and in that "closed" door is Chris, talking to Heap all the time, tempting her to go to the river with him. And Heap who looks to be a stressed out worker, goes insane of the stress and Chris´s tempting, so she breakes the door to the room where Chris is and gives in to his tempting, and drowns herself. That's one of my versions.

Fun fact about the lyrics: the phrase 'to die a little death' probably alludes to the French expression 'la petite mort' - meaning orgasm.
kinda jealous of how adrodgynous they both are. amazing voices
How can she be so handsome?!
It's like two halves of the same soul singing to each other. A metaphysical relationship.
Beautiful.

Each one of them alone is amazing - but TOGETHER! - I don't know if I can handle it!
This song is a freakinf nuclear bomb of amazing
Her scream, his spin, the harlequin androgyny; I wouldn't mind seeing this movie length and it's great as is.
I remember growing up loving both artists so much. I remember thinking how amazing they would sound together and then literally the next day i discoverd this song. I was so shocked and became obsessed with this song.
Their voices compliment each other so perfectly.
they should make an album together, it would be epic!
Their voices are absolutely perfect together.
Man, Chris looks so good in a dress, and Imogen looks so good in a suit 😍
Their voices sound so haunting together, I love it. I had an Iamx phase when I was in middle school lol
This song is haunting... and it makes me think of someone grappling with a serious addiction and who is still denying it....
She looks like she could be a grim reaper and thats amazing,

Уже который год влюблена в эту песню и только сейчас руки дошли до клипа. И Божемой!!! Я влюбилась ещё сильнее, если такое вообще возможно♥♥♥
There's a problem... The song ends...

My two favourite artists working together, this is absolutely fantastic
My secret friend
Oh, take me to the river
My secret friend
So we can swim forever
You have loved, you were not alone
You have braved the weather
When the storm cut you to the bone
There was always shelter
My secret friend
I'll take you to the river
My secret friend
So we can swim forever
In your skin to die a little death
This time there's no code word
When everyday frays in hollow ends
Dream sweet love subversive
My secret friend
Oh, take me to the river
My secret friend
So we can swim forever
Break my deepest promise
Break my deepest promise
Break my deepest
Break my deepest promise
Break my deepest promise
Break my deepest
Break my deepest promise
Break my deepest promise
Break my deepest
My secret friend
Oh, take me to the river
My secret friend
So we can swim forever
Two of my favorite artists working together. I'm dying.
I loved when she threw that chair and the sound of her shout came in the middle of the song. great touch.
аааа, это офигенно, почему я не слышала и не видела этого раньше?...

100000 points for knowing who tf temposhark are! My favourite band when considering quality: popularity ratio
I love that short segment where they're singing to each other through the "fence"
This is the first I've heard this.. Holy shit, my mind has blown. lol What a dream pairing of artists.
God this video still hits after all these years
I never really noticed the resemblance, but they could pass for each other!!
how did I just find this song?!?!?!?!?! its amazing omg, excuse me as I become obsessed
How did I miss this for, like, 5 years?
Dylan Cutler haha five years ago i was nine :3 i didnt really care about music then :P
OMG. I just discovered this. I never heard of IAMX before.
And now I watched all the videos and i´m so mesmerized..

First IAMX song I heard. Still love it. And IAMX. Didnt really start listen to Imogen heap as much though.
If I were her, I'd dress like that pretty much everyday. She looks so good in a suit and glasses! 😍
I WAS SEARCHING FOR IT FOR MY LIFE
There are no words for how much I love this video. One of my greatest wishes is that they'll collaborate again someday.
This is more real to me than the world out there.. Thank you Mr. X
imogen is super attractive here. she also reminds me of brendon urie... hehe?
Частенько слушаю перед сном
Heap makes a freakishly attractive male 0//-//0
there is no music video better than this, it's absolutely fantastic and amazing. the way they look, sing and move...
Damn...Ive been an imogen heap fan since i was a teenager and I never heard this until now
Imogen resembles my dream man in this video. Imogen is so awesome!
i love how she just seems to loom over Chris! haha Chris is hilarious!

Is it wrong I think she's very attractive dressed as a male?
Glad I'm not the only one
It's not :)
when I first saw this clip I thought she was a hot dude lol xD I didn't know who Imogen Heap was at the time lol xD
You are not alone

Я тут снова. 22год...

They should really do more music together.
Two amazing artists, with stunning voices. Absolutely beautiful.
