Regina Spektor -- Music Box

[DJMdalia]

l love how people laughed at the soap thing :) Beautiful song

[aaronbenvenuti14]

i love the how simple yet so complex her music is at the same time like no one else would ever think to write somethign like this

[matheusnews]

who knows what keyboard it's?

[psychedelikk64]

@matheusnews Yamaha

[almirasecret]

she sounds EXACTLY the same. I LOVE HER!! so unique!

[YuukiTakaya]

shes amazing live.......

[xpf15]

There is no one out there like Regina spektor and that's why I love her.

[iheartjustinbieber59]

I love regina spektor! she is amazing!

[lemon4girl]

LOVE her voice

[lordygirl]

very cool! i love regina!! <3333

[ADreamAsLovely]

and its like her puke is yearning to get out, soap + body = not good

[Leapage]

drinking dishwashing soap makes you throw up.

[holohulolo]

quirky and i love it

[orangelily]

because she just drank soapy water.... idk it would make me want to throw up

[sashickgirl1]

i think its pretty good

[fudge1monkey]

a good explanation! i think it makes the song, she always does quirky stuff its so good.

[funbunny8]

Why does she act like she's puking towards the end?

[violasinger]

wouldn't you if you just ate soap?

[funbunny8]

HAHA! I never realized that was why:)

[aibcomeback]

i like this song. I love how the people in the audience are laughing. Its a very cute comedic song

[rockinae19]

ilove regina wuhooo!

eccentric-ishly cool!

[genliyin]

so artistic and creative

[GeorgiaLiverpool]

this is such a weird but brilliant song!

[AgLoverSinceBirth4]

Haha so true

[Ajtheweird1]

I think the reason she does that choking thing is because shes singing about how they want to sing another melody like after that her voice changes as if the melody is finally changing. So thats my thought.

[chuchubunny323]

I'm pretty sure it's not chokingmore like... puking. If you read the lyrics, it says "I feel MORTALITY surround me " after she takes a gulp of the water. Basically meaning, she's getting sick from drinking the soapy water. But that's just what I think. *shrugs*

[Ajtheweird1]

I don't know... Maybe it means both?

[SatanisaBeaverShark]

I always thought it was because she drank the soapy water.

[Alsenoth]

Lol. No. MORTALITY meaning you can die. It's not suicide, though. It's her tasting the water and realizing she shouldn't have. She's in a music box. Trying to taste the outside world, and realizing the music box is better, even if she is trapped.

[AnthonyMinsky]

I always think it has to do with getting stuck in the gears trying to get out. Whatever it means, I love it. And her completely.

[fibbingcats]

she has an incredible voice

i luv her :)

[DawnlessSkys]

A genius song, really. She makes what can be depressing or dramatic into such happy-go-lucky art. Brilliance.

[NationStates44]

This song really kicks

[paigerr4971]

she's amazing live!

[KhakiUnderwear]

I LOVE HER <3

[luvergyal83]

brilliant! simply brilliant.

[lloplop]

my god i love this woman!!!!!!!

[valnerdface]

Agreed. <333

[Mojotone18]

Why does she do that thing with her voice?

I like her music.. I just don't get the throwing up sound between the last notes...

[AuraLune]

Read the lyrics carefully.

[emelilla]

what do you mean? What do you think of the lyrics? :) I just love that she isn't afraid to make it sound ugly...she does whatever she wants to. That's the best thing about her, I think..

[AuraLune]

I'm just saying I think it's like she's choking or drowning. Because in the song it says she takes a gulp of soap water.

[emelilla]

yeah, that's smart... the sounds are kind of "oh my, that tastes disgusting"... hehe. thanks.

[emmatastic]

she is "choking" on the bubbles from the soap

[RanuuQ]

I thought it was that she was in the music box, and wanted to sing another tune, but when she tried, she was yanked back to the melody of the music box.

I'll take the choking, though xD

[rickypaulgriffin]

what day was that?

[golucky11]

one of my favorite singers. she's like from russia but ya know i love her, she is like the bestest singer

[SarahXMalpe]

Waooo I loveee her!! She's soo good live!! Even better than the cd!

[theotherjessica]

she is great live! I wanna see one of her concerts

[Grof142007]

I love this song

[thestrokes225]

so amazing. enough said.

[ashanator1]

i love this song (:

shes amazing

[letssharpenpencils]

sounds pretty. :)

[duvy1234]

Yes this is my favorite song of hers! She is so quirky and original! I love her talent and she is a true artist! I am so sick of people doing that amazingly crude noise of "Whoo" at concerts. I am quite sure it simply interrupts and irritates the singers and performers. I implore everyone to stop.

[bobbydigital82]

how big are her boobs

[cheifdanceswithgravy]

large. ahaha

[heyslutface]

shes freaken awesome!

[crazysillystupid]

what album is this song on

[turnip1987]

I think it's on her 'Begin To Hope' limited edition one.

[crazysillystupid]

thanx

[Lindzeey]

suuper cool song!!!!!!

LOVE IT!!

[mbred06]

"It tastes like soap but it doesn't really tastes like soap." lmao

[tatermitts]

Who started that obnoxious ritual of screaming, "Woo!" at shows? It's like being in the ape habitat at the zoo.

[brittly14]

hahahahaha

[luisatot11]

LOL

[aintnocover06]

i love this song so much.

the lyrics are just genius

[Hunterfrag]

Genial reginas

[delorean88mph2003]

I will die happy if Geddy Lee gets to jam with Regina live. :)

[invaderzim1414]

hahaha

i remember the first time i saw her performing this life i thought she was seriously gonna throw up!

i was like how embarassing!

but then i learned it was part of the song

hehe

love this song!

:o]

[honestlyyesno]

What do you mean???

[generalnazor]

You don't hear music like this much any more!

[DairMeeTwo]

she sounds good live

that's not usual for singers these days

i love htis songg

[ablindleader]

has anyone felt her song is like a mixture of opposite

listen the beginning very long gracious notes with soft sound

then she goes stacatto (sorry if i spelt it wrong) and she sings with lots of forte

so maybe the songs about how she has a new style shes wants to get out but it just cant becuase shes split ?

[TiptheJester]

Could it be because humans usually have attraction to contrasts?

[TiptheJester]

Could it be because humans usually have attraction to contrasts?

[TiptheJester]

lol, that vomiting effect is because of the dishsoap gulp she had before. What a great song. :D

[seansacco]

OMG!!!!!!!!! i am in love w/ this song!!!!! ya it sux tht her face isnt visible! anyway if u want 2 c another cool song by her type in fidelity and click on the 1st 1!!!!! that is the coolest song eva!

[merlinsorangetabby]

It's not a puking sound. Have you never stuck your finger onto the little spindle in a music box? Slow it down? It slows down and stretches the song.

[eamonnoneill]

im addicted to this song!

how come she can write such brilliant music out of the simplest concepts!?

She's a genious.

[abolishtheweak8]

did she fart in the beginning

[eligarf]

that was the piano bench.

[indymind89]

and its the greatest voyage in the history of plastic! lol

[shesamisfitbaby]

she has the most amazing voice ever

[akinoyeshua]

damn so happy to see a vid for this but *sniffle her face is not visible but yay regina spektor

[xanaprincessx]

shes awesome. i try to qo to most of her live shows cuz theyre ahmazin

[Urseh]

okay. i like her voice & her quirky style, but you've gotta be really f*cking insane to drink dishsoap water. or dumb to even sing abt it in yr lyrics.

[manco82]

Regina sometimes sounds better live then the studio recording.

[orangecow965]

Really, I heard that she doesn't have a very good live show... She does sound good, though....

[Yablonya28]

She has wonderful live shows. You haven't been to one I guess

[orangecow965]

No, I've been trying to. At Bonnaroo, her shows were EXACTLY at the same time as the other people that I really love. I didn't go to hers. I wanted to though...

[Yablonya28]

Oh man, Bonnaroo was fucking insane! She kicks much ass :)

[orangecow965]

I'm DEFINITELY going to hers next year!

[raffadizzle]

aw man, i dunno who told you that, but i had a whole new respect for her after i saw her live. she's amazing live!

[orangecow965]

My brother told me, but then again, that's my fault for believing him....

[ScireFlamma]

Well, I literally heard her at a concert and can give you information provided by a primary source: She was an amazing live show that is incredible; her voice is spectacular, and her piano-work is lovely.

[radiosfx]

Australian Melanie Horsnell is the singer of the J C Penney TV Commercial and song "How can it be" as part of "Forever Thursday" she is in New York now

[cheaok8]

i love this song! i like the commercial, wow she sounds just like her music!

[giotaurus]

beautiful!

i looove this song ever since i saw it in the macy's commercial

[purpleflash777]

Now...SHE IS a musician!!! :D

[Livvybolivvy]

She sounds just as good live.

Unlike most artists today...

She's fabulous.

:]

[TeelDPX77]

she sounds that good live b/c she's sitting still...just like she was when she in the studio lol.... consider that many artists are dancing to fast choreography when they perfrorm, not still in a studio....nothing against her..i love her voice,,just thought u should have a lil more common sense about live performances before u put her over other artists

[Livvybolivvy]

Well.

I wasn't trying to put her over other artists.

I mean, I was comparing her to artists like P!ATD and ones who are standing up singing.

I know that the are dancing..etc. and I get that they are short of breath or tired.

I just don't see how the music industry is putting new artists up such as Ashley Tisdale who have hardly any talent.

[toastnuances]

Actually, when Jack "Only Son" Dishel beatboxes "Hotel Song" she does a lot of moving around and still sounds perfect. Better than the record because you see heeer.

[imamuppet]

Ho yeas, went to her concert last night and they did that version of it. Freakin' awesome, the entire concert was better than the recorded songs IMO. <3

[morrowindz]

you know, the ones that are dancing almost always lip sync... and are not what I would call musicians to begin with.

[SiriusPotterFan]

Not trying to argue, but I think they would be called ENTERTAINERS.

She's a musician, yes, but you don't have to trash talk people who lip sync. They also have to save their voice, which is another reason why.

[morrowindz]

not trash talking them, but in terms of music they are simply not on par with musicians, like at all. they are as performers of course, and i have nothing against them for it, but i want to be precise.

[SiriusPotterFan]

Yes, that's true of course, but all I'm saying is that some people, such as, say Celine Dion, are wonderful musicians, but have to lip sync to save their voice at times. I think if you tried it, you'd find it quite hard to sing every day, like Broadway performers. If you've noticed, they slowly get worse because of how demanding it is.

[orangecow965]

Sometimes, they lips sync their own voice because they are dancing, and it's INCREDIBLY hard to sing and be in tune when you are moving around.

[ablindleader]

your stupid most artist dont have th range she has she has amazing range ur just ignorant

[LaHolly]

What I love about this is that she sounds just as great LIVE as she does in the studio. Truly a voice for our times.

[n8phin]

I love her style. Call me weird, but I think this is what Radiohead would sound like if they were happy. And female.

[LaHolly]

Ok, that comment was definitely weird.

But funny.

;-)

[sesshomaruneopetluv]

i love her tunes. D:

[silentjoe18]

i thought that was her.

[ugotitbabe000]

Holy Bizet's Carmen's Habanera!

[Sanqmarine]

Yeah, I heard I on the JCpenney commercial and knew it was her! nice song :)

[Chickorita07]

jc penny has great taste in music!

[NeverisaPromise7]

Regina is the best, her voice is so unique, and perfect for her.

[roxxiexotic892]

is she trying to do the kinda like crooked vocal cords on purpose?

[jonbo321]

I first heard this for the JC Penney commercial and I knew that it had to be Regina Spektor. Only she can control her voice this well.

[roxxiexotic892]

yea!

[Silvermagick]

Yea, I heard it immediatly and knew it had to be the lovely Regina.

[Alana0412]

This is the most awesome song ever! Her voice is amazing!!!

[Chexmix51212]

i love this song. "life inside a music box ain't easy" is so clever. This is my happy music : )

[SlyHobbit]

"The greatest voyage in the history of plastic"

[jayobear]

haha...jc penney.

[xsarahpie]

i love this song. :] its my favorite by regina!

[potterlove]

I love her. I love this songggg

[laurenlikespie]

god

i freakin LOVE this song

i just had an eargasm.

[xxSucker4Acousticxx8]

lol...eargasm. funny stuff. =)

[brn2dance]

her voice is amazing

[ShesSoSmooth]

Love.

[lailala7]

this is an interesting song... i love regina though

[pipay54]

It tastes like soap but it doesn't really taste like soap

[fuzzykitten8]

amazing

amazing

amazing

[zipmexicana]

awesome performance.

[najee45]

this is like ear drugs....oh god im o-d-ing ,i cant feel my ear lobes!!!!!!!!

[Sfielicious]

Whaaa love it!!

it makes me happy!!

that sound

it's a sound that rest in your head!

X

[LarissaEMa]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! this song.. its so freaking cool!! I find she's kinda a mix of Imogen Heap and Alaniss Morissette! Regina Spektor is soo way cool!

[QueenAzooga]

I love this song, and the end just makes it better. It is supposed to go like that because as the lyrics said, "But then I feel mortality surround me". And then these people are stuck inside a music box and they are doomed to life there. So it does fit the song...

[hollyophobia]

I realize the song is supposed to sound like that. I have the album. I think shes brilliant, and I said it was unique, I understand her lyrics and her, and I don't think she would appreciate you calling anyone a "retarddddd"

[omfgmatty]

i don't think she would appreciate you saying her song bugs you.

[Takoon]

*rofl* I love this song to death! It's definitely my favorite. It just shows how totally weird and awesome she is. ^.^

[BeccaIsAwesome2010]

I loveeeeee her lyrics.

amazing.

[hollyophobia]

i would like this song better if the lyrics wernt so weird...and it sounds like shes gonna puke on the piano at the end, but i guess thats her originality. I love regina, but this song bugs me...i like the begining though (russian-esque)

[shailanicole]

SHE DOES the puking sound because it is supposed to represent her dying from drinking so much soapy water. This song is about how when she was a young girl and she was made fun of by her family when she sang as she was doing the dishes. "Everyone inside the mechanism is yearning to get out."

Theres nothing WEIRD about that...its how she feels. You cant tell someone you'd like their song better if THEIR lyrics were different. Otherwise its not there song

people like you piss me OFF

[merlinsorangetabby]

I don't think that's what she was going for. My comment above is what I think.

[ganimead]

Perhaps,...OR it could be what I said..Given the fact she explains it in one of her videos.

[merlinsorangetabby]

What video is that? Can you share the link?

[ablindleader]

wwhat did you say

[mannamanahdududu]

one of my many favorites! well done!

[tk2151]

i agree....we couldn't see her play the guitar we were right begind the speaker but we did get to meet the dresden dolls

[killerofangel]

that's a cowinkidink..i went to a Panic! at the disco concert and the dresden dolls play there!! they were awesumness!!

[runningforamsterdam]

this was such a good concert!
