  • This version sucks ass, Barbara sings it brings tears to my eyes, this lady brings blood to my ears

  • the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.....

  • Makes me want to don a fedora and swing between lampposts.

  • Only Regina could make domestic abuse sound so beautiful.

  • Boardwalk Empire brought me here, Great Song.

  • I can't stop listening to this! It sounds amazing! Barbra has a different sound than this, making them very hard to compare. I think you both sound amaizing!

  • @TheKeyWithMe your right; regina does a good job giving the song a new flavor.

  • Μπράβο ρε Εν Λευκώ με τις κομματάρες σου!

  • I bet Regi would have made it big in any time period. I'm super glad she decided to do it in ours!

  • Now I wanna start watching this Boardwalk Empire o_o

    Thanks regina ^^ love u

  • Regina Spektor's voice/songs always seem to make me feel something I rarely feel with other artists. She's so talented and it's so effortless. She doesn't need to even try it just seems to flow. I want to see her live!

    Love this style of music and I love BE!

  • Love it, though I'll always love Barbra Streisand's My Man better than any other version...

  • perfect picture for a perfect song.

  • such a beautifly timless voice

  • AHH <3

  • Brilliant! She captures the style of the period perfectly!

  • It's good, but for me the definitive version is the one by Billy Holiday. It breaks my heart.

  • @Jewhater119 wooooow. you are a horrible person. jew hater? using the f word? grow up and start treating people with respect.

  • @QtEeAngelAndi you need to grow the fuck up and realize that everyone hates each other, and its been that way as long as humans have been around. why do you give a shit if i use the "f" word over 100,000 people die everyday but you treat the word fuck like its something horrific. Fuck the jews and long live capitalism

  • @Jewhater119 grow up and realize you live in a world with haters and lovers but more importantly the idea that nobody cares about your opinion unless you do something that benefits other people, otherwise your as good as a bag of hot air. So you can try to be the next hitler, but nobody will value your existence unless you do something about it. Please, stop typing and act on your beliefs, this way you'll be thrown in jail to rot where you belong and the internet will be a nicer place.

  • @ice9willENDusall your right no one gives a shit about my opinion, but nobody gives a shit about yours either. now go kill yourself and make my world a nicer place

  • man I love regina! this is so different from her usual style of singing, and just as amazing!

  • Regina Spektor has the nicest eyebrows I've ever seen.

  • @Grymhett And her eyelashes catch her sweat

  • @Grymhett RIGHT!! I was just looking at her picture and saying "damn, I wish I had her eyebrows."

  • powerful stuff...

  • what a depressing song :(

  • eck

  • Love it, I believe the original was Fanny Brice. Regina does a lovely job of it. 

  •  a great version of this song. sophie tucker sang it in 1929 from a movie called honky tonk

  • Beautiful song

    i love her!!!!! <3

  • Reginaaa you love your man, and i love you! youre amazing.

  • she's such a classic beauty

  • She sounds just soo good

    Perfect song in boardwalk empire

  • Fanny Brice?!

  • BOARDWALK EMPIRE classic !

  • Surely, some people were meant to be born into a more graceful time than this...Regina, you are one of them.

  • shes so beautifulll

  • Looks like 1 person doesn't have an appreciation for talent.

  • I as in this sort of surgery and I got through with it thanks to numbing and this song because it was on my head the whole time (: thanks so much Regina for helping me

  • I just went from a Sophie Tucker video of "One of these days" and "My Yiddishe Mamma" to this Spektor video. I love Regina, this is i a style that suits her extremely well. But then again, she'd be good in the 20's,40's, 60',s or 2050. She's amazing, and the fact that her voice seems to span eras of music is a testament to talent.

  • I'm gonna marry that girl one day...

  • @jacobrodgers1912 No you're not.

  • this would be so in in the 1930s

  • I dont listen to her newer stuff that much, not that its bad, everything she does is amazing, but I'm in a old regina phase... but I cant stop listening to this... its so beautiful

  • wow!

    Everything from her pronunciation to her vabrato (sp?) are altered to suit the era. Regina's really something special, the way she can so completely apply herself to a piece.

    Still, she maintains her distinctive style, but that does nothing to compromise the whole of the performance.

    Love this gal, i really do!

  • @peachtable966 i think shes a angel a gift from heaven

  • She's Amazing!!! 

  • i bet this'll be on the new album!

  • Amy Winehouse singing this song, it would be the most

  • @xalederatos ohhh you're so right.

  • I don't particularly like Regina Spektor, but this cover is fantastic.

  • @hongkongaton ...?!?!?! how could you not like regina, i mean if you don't like her thats ok but why??

  • this is such a role model song for young girls ... I think you raise a girl on this and "As Long as He Needs Me," from Oliver ...

  • @maddymud thats a joke right?

  • @brolltitch -- ---- tee-hee. yes. of course.

  • Mon homme!

    

  • Which episode?

  • @pissedllama It plays during the credits of "A Dangerous Maid", which is episode 3 of season 2.

  • @mekrystle Thanks friend!

  • perfect!

  • I hate that man! lol I love Regina!

  • @kate8771

    That's exactly how I feel!! Who the hell would beat Regina Spektor?

  • Eine ausgezeichneter Soundtrack aus US-amerikanische Fernsehserie "Boardwalk Empire"

    Прекрасный саундтрек из сериала "Подпольная империя"

  • Who is the original version done by? You should put that info in the description for all the other curious folk as well.

  • @Greensky02 fanny brice, alice faye, peggy lee, barbra streisand.

  • I like this better then the one with the empire logo because I love seeing her beautiful face. Adds to the feel classical, beautiful feel it gives off.

  • question to regina fans: this is the 150th song of her I know:)

    does anyone know more songs??

  • Funny, 'cause it seems so recent that I was thinking, "How could Boardwalk Empire get more flawless?"

    So they used Regina Spektor singing a song that's been done by so many greats I can't even ;asfkldj;as/

    WELL PLAYED, BOARDWALK EMPIRE.

    But how will you top yourself NEXT?

  • @citrinestone They're using St. Vincent too! But I haven't heard it yet.

  • There you are!!! Brava!!! Wowee! I'm so happy! :))xx

  • dayam. regina spektor is a fucking baus. great rendition of a classic.

  • Why I always like non-original versions of old songs like these? Nice and beautiful. :)

  • spectacular! xo

  • When i heard this song at the end of this week's episode i instantly KNEW it was regina

  • I love her no matter what she sings! Now if only i could figure out how to get this song without having to but the whole sound track :/

  • Just finished the last episode of "Boardwalk Empire" and heard this song. Just recognized incredible Regina even though she doesn't sound like herself in this song. Brilliant, as always:)

  • @sineglaski I think it sounds very much like Regina - or one of her many voice characteristics... :)

  • Correction: "in last night's episode" :)

  • Just heard this inmost nights episode of "BOARDWALK EMPIRE" and loved it. There is and always will be a market for music that has the sound of days gone by, thank goodness!

  • No one can touch barbara streisands version of this song but i still like simplicity of this remake.

  • Just heard this song during the end credits of tonight's episode of Boardwalk Empire and had to find out who sang it.

  • @KaceS2K Me too. Did it take you long to find it?

  • Wow she sings it SO beautiful! Dare I say better then the original?

  • she is one of the most amazing musicians of our time. take that, lady gaga.

  • @dreca102 Im desperately trying to thumb up this comment a million time over. My favorite artist of ALL time!

  • @dreca102 Maybe you should watch her duet with Tony Bennet... And I really hate it when people try to justify their comments with colloquialisms about Lady Gaga (because she is a classically trained prodigy), when they should really make them about other females singers like Ke$ha and such.

    And she will take that.

  • Love her! Love the song! Love the show!

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH $ UPLOADING I LOVE YOU!

  • this deserves more views. spread the word

  • i took this picture!

    

  • @ohshervin you wut??

  • Everything Regina touches turns to gold, this included. I would love to hear her sing a mid-tempo "I'm in the Mood for Love" with this same type of instrument backing.

  • @271tixe - I totally disagree on the instrumental. She is wonderful and the song is wonderful but the instrumental needs updating and DeFalco Music Factory can do it and still keep the charm but increase the profitability by targeting 2011's demographics. Please see Willie J - I'm a Gangster - Boardwalk Empire.

  • What episode was this in?

  • @tarjay35 what episode? of what show?

  • @alicepotter777 Ummm, the title says it's from the Boardwalk Empire soundtrak and it also says that in the description....

  • I want to play the tuba part in this! Xxx

  • wooooow‼ simplemente ♥♥ INCREIBLE♥♥

  • My favoutite Ella's music performed by my sweet lovely Regina! Me so happy =D

  • A brilliant twist to an already brilliant song. BLOODY BRILLIANT!

  • Amazing~ as always O:

  • It's Regina Spektor, so of course it's great. 

  • Incredible! <3

  • best birthday present ever.

    P.S: its my birthday today

  • @Happy Birthday...
