I spent a good portion of today annoyed. I've been annoyed by lots of different things, some important, some not important. Non of these things really matter, not in the long run any way. They just seem important at the time.

I've said it time and time again and will probably continue to do so, but I love how listening to music can change your mood. There's nothing else like it as far as I'm concerned...you put on an album you love and it can lift all types of doom and gloom and makes things seem so much better in just a few short minutes.

Right now, and for the last few minutes I've been listening to the instrumental version of Imogen Heap's 'Speak For Yourself' album - I'm fortunate to have this as it's not really widely available. It's a truly beautiful album...and whilst a BIG part of the album is Immi's wonderful voice, it's also an amazing piece of music without her voice. So many intricacies that you just don't notice on the normal version because of the layers of vocals that hide things. 'Just For Now' is a masterpiece, and the strings and orchestral parts throughout the album are nothing short of stunning. I've known this for a long time, but Immi is a genius. She's also one of the kindest people I know to.

Today I received an email via her website from dance tutor - one of the tutor's young students has recently been killed in a car crash - the student was apparently a big fan of Imogen's and performed several dance routines to her songs. The tutor emailed us asking if there was any way she could get hold of an instrumental version of the song 'The Moment I Said It'....apparently this song was a favourite of the student, and her family had asked that a video of the student's solo be played at the recital to honour her, with the instrumental version of the song as the music.

Now, Imogen has had a bit of a rough ride in the past few days, but despite all of what she's had going on personally, she still responded very quickly and asked me to send the track. Whilst this may not seem like a big deal, it's just another little example of what a special and caring kind of person Immi is. Someone I'm glad to call a friend. Bless you Immi x
