The Lake House
Imogen Heap - Hide and SeekWhere are we
What the hell is going on
The dust has only just began to fall
Crop circles in the carpet， sinking， feeling
Spin me around again and rub my eyes
This can’t be happening
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines?
All those years they were here first
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasue moments hung before
The takeover， the sweeping insensitivity of this
Still life
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
Oh， you won’t catch me around here
Blood and tears they were here first
Hmm what you say
Oh that you only meant well，
well of course you did
Hmm what you say
Hmm that it’s all for the best， of course it is
Hmm what you sayThat it’s just what we need， you decided this
Hmm what you say
What did she say
Ransom notes keep falling at your mouth
Mid-sweet talk， newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling no i don’t believe you
You don’t care a bit you don’t care a bit
You don’t care a bit....

The Lake House
| Feeling that it's time for a change in her life, Dr. Kate Forster leaves the suburban Illinois locale where she completed her residency and takes a job at a busy Chicago hospital. One thing she is reluctant to leave behind is the uniquely beautiful house she's been renting--a spacious and artfully designed refuge with large windows that overlook a placid lake. It's a place in which she felt her true self. |
It is a winter morning in 2006. On her way to the city, Kate leaves a note in the mailbox for house's next tenant, asking him to forward her mail and noting that the inexplicable painted paw prints he might notice by the front door were there when she moved in. But when the next tenant arrives, he sees a much different picture. Alex Wyler, a talented but frustrated architect working at a nearby construction site, finds the lake house badly neglected: dusty, dirty and overgrown with weeds. And no sign of paw prints anywhere.
| The house has special meaning for Alex. In a happier time it was built by his estranged father, a renowned architect who allowed his professional acclaim to grow at the expense of his family life. Alex feels a sense of peace here now and commits to restoring the property to its original beauty. |
As Kate and Alex continue to correspond through the lake house's mailbox they confirm that they are, incredibly, impossibly, living two years apart, and each at a time in their lives when they are struggling with past disappointments and trying to make a new start. Sharing this unusual bond, they reveal more of themselves to one another with each passing week--their secrets, their doubts and dreams, until they find themselves falling in love. Determined to bridge the distance between them at last and unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary connection, they tempt fate by arranging to meet. But, by trying to join their two separate worlds, they could risk losing each other forever.
