Invisible (Alison Moyet song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Invisible", by Alison Moyet, is a song specifically written by Lamont Dozier (of the songwriting team Holland/Dozier/Holland.)

The track was lifted from her Alf album, released in 1984.

The song reached #21 on the UK Top 40 charts. "Invisible" is also Moyet's most successful American single, reaching #31 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1985 and becoming the only U.S. Top 40 hit of her career (solo or with Yazoo) thus far.

In the video Ms. Moyet is seen at a party where she surrounded my friends, whom all appear to have partners of various forms. There is also a couple on the sofa, is this the man she feels invisible from? (in an interview on JACKfm Oxfordshire's Breakfast Show The Morning Glory, when read this, Alison laughed her head off and said what a load of rubbish! December 1,2007) She is often seen singing alone outside, or in what appears to be a cupboard.

At points the video pans on a what seems to be a silver rhombus with the letter 'i' in the middle.

The lyrics are about being in love with someone who continues to cheat and lie, despite proclaiming their 'invisible' love for Alison Moyet.

Or another opinion is that she is the mistress of a man, who when with his wife/partner, treats her as if she is invisible _"I feel like I've been had, and I'm boiling mad." Hence her feelings at never being able to get in contact with this man and providing him with alibis. The lyrics tell the frustrations and anger of being in this situation very accurately.
