"Suddenly I See"
Song

"Suddenly I See" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall and is featured on her debut album, Eye to the Telescope. It was released 29 August 2005 as the third single (second single in United States) from that album, charting at #12 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2005 in British music).

The song was Tunstall's highest charting in the UK, spending 26 weeks inside the Top 75 Singles. "Suddenly I See" won her an Ivor Novello Award in 2006 in the category of Best Song Musically and Lyrically. It is inspired by New York singer and poet Patti Smith, whose album cover for Horses also inspired Tunstall's album cover for Eye To The Telescope.

In the summer of 2006, "Suddenly I See" became popular in the United States after being featured prominently at the beginning of the movie The Devil Wears Prada. It was also the farewell music for female contestants eliminated from the television show So You Think You Can Dance, featured on the season finale of the MTV show The Hills, and the series premiere of Ugly Betty. This song is also notable because it has three different music videos, an animated one, a circus version, and the original one.

It features in the Torchwood episode Greeks Bearing Gifts.

Music Video

There are three different music videos, one for the USA, one animated, and one for the UK.

The US Version features Tunstall in different situations involving a circus in Romania. The video was filmed in Bucharest by the local production company, Domino Film - Catalin Neagu, and the casting was done by Standard Casting - Sorin Tarau. [citation needed]

The animated version features KT walking/driving around an animated fantasy world, and engages in activities such as walking up giant guitars and flying into space.
