Invisible is a song written by Kira Leyden and Jeff Andrea, members of the Ohio-based unsigned alternative rock/pop band Jaded Era, and recorded for the band's second album Invisible (2003). It was covered by pop rock singer Ashlee Simpson for the re-release of her second album I Am Me, and was released as the album's third single in 2006 (see Invisible (Ashlee Simpson song)).
Andrea wrote the song's riff when he was seventeen years old and recorded it on a cassette tape, while Leyden said she wrote its lyrics on her hands during a lonely day at college; after completing the song together, they commented "There was always something special about it". Leyden has frequently said "everyone has felt completely invisible once in their lifetime, and sometimes it's just you against the world", and that the song's lyrics paralleled the band's status as independent and unsigned. Leyden and Andrea have also called it "the cornerstone for this band and where we come from", and it was produced by Tim Patalan.
Jaded Era wrote to their fans on their MySpace internet blog that it wasn't an "easy" decision to allow Simpson to re-record the song, but it "was a decision we all made to help Jaded Era get out there as much as possible, so others can love us as much as you! ... We are really flattered by how much faith everyone has in this song ... we appreciate Ashlee putting it out there."
The music video for Jaded Era's version of "Invisible" was directed by Dave Greene and members of the band, and produced on a US$300 budget. It comprises footage of the band performing the song intercut with black-and-white clips of a homeless man, a bullied school student, a hitch-hiker and a drug addict.
"Invisible" is a song performed by Ashlee Simpson, released as a single in the summer of 2006. The track was originally recorded by the band Jaded Era; to date, it is the first single by Simpson that she did not co-write. Although it was said that the song would be included on a re-released version of Simpson's 2005 platinum album I Am Me, this did not occur.
"Invisible" is a song by English electronic music group Tilt, which reached the UK top 20 charts when released in 1999. The song was co-written by Dominique Atkins, from Grace fame, who also provided the vocals.
"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.
