In an interview, KT Tunstall explained the meaning of “Invisible Empire” (2013) : “This song is […] about creating a reality that is only based on what you want to see, not what’s real. It’ll either come crashing down, or you’ll want to set it alight yourself to find the truth. It’s about the idea that IF YOU TRY AND CONTROL LIFE, YOU KILL IT, but if you let it flow in its own way, it can flourish.” 💙🎶💜
KT Tunstall, like a fewer other artists, do not get the recognition they deserve. every song is a masterpiece and the videos are simple but effective. no need to be half naked.just pure talent
I don't really understand what this song is about - English is not my first language and I just love some of the lines, but I haven't analyzed the lyrics - but I feel it. It makes me cry, but it makes me feel safe and strong at the same time. It's been my favorite safe/strong/sad song for years.
It's disappointing that she became a sort of underdog, with her faithful followers but without solid back up from sponsors, hence flowing under the radar. I love her voice, like velvet to my hears. Cheers from Italy KT
I primarily know KT Tunstall for her earlier stuff, Not sure if before this I'd heard _anything_ not off her first and maybe second album, But this is honestly really nice!
Look at KT's back catalogue - listen to what she's doing now - how is there such a mismatch between her talent, her consistently wonderful music, and her fame? Come on, humans, don't let yourselves down
Every time i listen to that album i feel calm, energized and ready to paint. My best paintings are the those where I was listen to this specific album. I feel connected to myself in a way any other album nor artist can make me feel. I really hope you come to Brasil someday, I would do anything to see you sing live. I love you, KT.
I cant wait to see KT singing live. It would be a dream come true if she ever come to Brasil i would do ANYTHING just to see her. I really hope she can get a place in one of those festivals!
ANOTHER TRULY STELLAR performance from the ALWAYS VERSATILE and FOREVER BRILLIANT ARTIST, MUSICIAN and COMPOSER that is KT TUNSTALL --- LOVE ❤️ Evelyn O'Connor
Why doesn't this have more views? Though I do then feel more privileged to be part of the blessed people who have watched and heard this... keep rocking KT, and I'll see you in Belfast - 31st Oct :)
I started to listen to he album Eye to the telescope and I liked it. I started to listen to the newest album and it really amazed me. Wow. This is music. And when I'm grown-up, I'm gonna bring real music to the people, just like she does. Straight from the heart.
I love the conflicting themes: the video is like a cross between Game of Thrones & Lady Gaga while the song is like a slice of apple pie & heaven. Glad to see KT Tunstall is back.
...sounds lovely bit like Nora Jones - piano harmonies end section delicate just enough like her voice - lay on the couch in the dark played it loud three times after a *t day at work - mellow - nice! All good thanks KT
I certainly can not believe this was clear back in 2013 and i hwvent found it how strange the album i was introduced to was with all very good songs suddenly i see cherry tree i believe...cant remember thee album exactly right now .. missed out on seeing her at the palms in lasvegas one year lol but it was a Valentine present 🎁 being i won the tickets around then but misplaced my id 🆔 and was to honest to take sisters as some do lol ..i tried but was not alowed to enter befuz ..so i sent my sister in to be my presence wi5h in hope it was as said was ..thank you for your lovely shine .
Invisible Empire KT Tunstall I thought the candle was gonna go out The wind was blowing and the door was open But the candle never went out, never went out The wave found its way to the shore I thought it was a ripple and nothing more But the wave found its way all the way to the shore Oh, I wanna burn this house I know, I wanna jump into the fire Oh, I've got to tear them down The pinnacles of my invisible empire I know the gamble never works twice All the distractions of the table and the weighted dice But the thrill of it feels so nice, you'd do it all again But I look to the chips and lose I'm standing on the platform with my neck in the noose And I know it's not my time, it's not my time Oh, I wanna burn this house I know, I wanna jump into the fire Oh, I've got to tear them down The pinnacles of my invisible empire And if I do all the things I do Well, I tell myself that I'm staying true I'll never stop, you know I'll never stop You know I'll never think about it Put an end to all this time That I would spend with it on my mind You know it never stopped, you know it never stopped You know I always wondered about it I wondered about the wonder Oh, I wear a rusting crown I know this dynasty is falling The crowd shouts for another round. I see the ruin The spectacular diamonds buried, icebergs, the minarets, and the marketplaces The signal fires of my invisible empire
Cause we only got so much time in this world (Yeah!) So rewind it to your high school dance to the night before If you think you're promised tomorrow (prom is tomorrow) Nah thats one of the dopest lyrics ever..

I agree. She's amazing!
This album is still my favorite KT record ever. It's so personal and introspective. The music is just so beautiful and gets me every time I hear it
Less than 3 more days!

Probably our corrupt government
Ten letters, one love = KT Tunstall

Cheers from Italy KT
She doesn't think it's a shame she can be true to herself artistically because of it ❤🤘

Sweet KT! I'm waiting for a video to "Old man song". Come to Brazil, dear, we miss u very very very much! :*
Terrific musician, amazing singer and performer, but a seriously underrated songwriter. This one in particular is a thing of wonder.
8 years!!! FML! how the hell did that happen?
SHE IS BACK
Look at KT's back catalogue - listen to what she's doing now - how is there such a mismatch between her talent, her consistently wonderful music, and her fame? Come on, humans, don't let yourselves down
This song gets more and more beautiful every time I listen
Love you KT

Always loved her. I recall hearing Black Horse and a Cherry Tree on the radio and rushing to get the CD. Glad to hear her again.
Beautiful !
Her best music video yet, fitting for one of her most lovely songs. I love it!
Why doesn't this have more views? Though I do then feel more privileged to be part of the blessed people who have watched and heard this... keep rocking KT, and I'll see you in Belfast - 31st Oct :)
I think KT Tunstall is one of the most unique and compelling singer/songwriters of the nu century. This song is beautiful .. and so is she.
I started to listen to he album Eye to the telescope and I liked it. I started to listen to the newest album and it really amazed me. Wow. This is music. And when I'm grown-up, I'm gonna bring real music to the people, just like she does. Straight from the heart.

Such a MASTERPIECE! I love this song and music video so much!!! Love you KT!
I love this song, I feel it in my heart
KT, you are no underdog, your the true music maker who makes this world a better place.
She's ace!!
KT Tunstal just killed my boss!
This is actually one of the best music videos I've seen in a long time.
America needs help recognizing the timbre of an ancient voice.
misfitstattoo are you smelling it yet?
I think it's the most beautiful KT's clip.❤ And makes me remember Xena: Warrior Princess kkkkk
my precious little valkyrie
Ha, off Clash royale
Favourite Colour: Black & KT Tunstall Amazing job
...sounds lovely bit like Nora Jones - piano harmonies end section delicate just enough like her voice - lay on the couch in the dark played it loud three times after a *t day at work - mellow - nice! All good thanks KT
Everything looks good in slow motion, especially horses and beautiful women.
I certainly can not believe this was clear back in 2013 and i hwvent found it how strange the album i was introduced to was with all very good songs suddenly i see cherry tree i believe...cant remember thee album exactly right now .. missed out on seeing her at the palms in lasvegas one year lol but it was a Valentine present 🎁 being i won the tickets around then but misplaced my id 🆔 and was to honest to take sisters as some do lol ..i tried but was not alowed to enter befuz ..so i sent my sister in to be my presence wi5h in hope it was as said was ..thank you for your lovely shine .
KT in chainmail brandishing a longsword - I just had a nerdgasm.
My new favourite song! :D
The song is amazing, one of my favorites ever, but the video is kinda awesome as well.....she even had a horse and everything....
KT as a blue-eyed blondie! i just loved it!
PHUCKING beautiful, girl. tough, gutsy, beautiful, majestic, tender....
LOVE this
She is so underrated... She has awesome videos and I could question her videos better than some of Katy Perry's videos.
Glad to see they are back!
Love this.. enchantingly wonderful!
What a nice tune, sweet voice
I really enjoy the texture in your voice. I bet if KT and pink and jewel harmonized together it would be a amazing song. Your amazing Talent !
Not seen this one before. Not at all what I expected. I love it!
(I bet she had a hell of a time filming this though)
Probably
I listen to this song so much. I love her artistry
Stunning new album - beautifully produced, gently crafted, a soul laid bare, wonderful
I love her. ❤
Still kinda amazes me she isn't more "popular"...
Que bueno el video! Lo estaba esperando. Esta cancion es hermosa. Grande kt! !
Invisible Empire
KT Tunstall
I thought the candle was gonna go out
The wind was blowing and the door was open
But the candle never went out, never went out
The wave found its way to the shore
I thought it was a ripple and nothing more
But the wave found its way all the way to the shore
Oh, I wanna burn this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
Oh, I've got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
I know the gamble never works twice
All the distractions of the table and the weighted dice
But the thrill of it feels so nice, you'd do it all again
But I look to the chips and lose
I'm standing on the platform with my neck in the noose
And I know it's not my time, it's not my time
Oh, I wanna burn this house
I know, I wanna jump into the fire
Oh, I've got to tear them down
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
And if I do all the things I do
Well, I tell myself that I'm staying true
I'll never stop, you know I'll never stop
You know I'll never think about it
Put an end to all this time
That I would spend with it on my mind
You know it never stopped, you know it never stopped
You know I always wondered about it
I wondered about the wonder
Oh, I wear a rusting crown
I know this dynasty is falling
The crowd shouts for another round. I see the ruin
The spectacular diamonds buried, icebergs, the minarets, and the marketplaces
The signal fires of my invisible empire
Thank you!
The imagery in this is sensational!
This is so beautiful.
amazing Kt!!! Always one of my favorite singers
I love this Warrior women
Love the song and the video's allusion to The Game of Thrones.
"The wind was blowing and the door was open." That's gotta be the coolest song lyric ever.
Agreed
🤨
Cause we only got so much time in this world (Yeah!)
So rewind it to your high school dance to the night before
If you think you're promised tomorrow (prom is tomorrow)
Nah thats one of the dopest lyrics ever..
Especially if its winter
Love her mature sound, looking forward to her record.
I saw her live at Cambridge Folk Festival 2013, she was absolutely amazing, I love this...
Magnificent KT, I Love you!
