THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SONG I DIDN'T QUITE GET EeT. BUT NOW I'VE GOT EeT AND I MUST SAY I LIKE EeT A LOT. EeT IS VERY, VERY, GOOD. DON'T CHEW THINK? WRITTING THIS HAS MADE ME VERY,VERY, HUNGRY SO PLEASE EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO GET SOMETHING TO EeT. (ENJOY)
She speaks the truth about everything she sings. It's beautiful. And her voice makes everything sound so elegant, but really it's very simple. You can't do any better than Regina Spektor.♥
@SirSmokeify Thank you for pointing that out to me. Glad to see I'm the only person who's comment you're going to take offense to, despite the fact that I was not the only person to take offence at his comment on this video.
You know the irony of this song? I'm sitting here, jamming my earphones into my ears so that I can't think, and listening to her saying, "Spent half of your life trying to fall behind, using your headphones to drown out your mind." That's exactly what I'm doing.
The eet represents the enter button on old type writers. Since you can't erase with type writers, I think she saying that some actions you can't take back. Hence, the enter button 'eet.'
@momoshurnette actually in rusia ,which is where she is from, eet is Eastern European Television... my music teacher told us that in rusia they can watch watever they want...like PBS in America.. Its run by the government so that is wat it means it also means Eastern European Time but that has nothing to do with it..just to let you know
@LuvPink16 eet is a key that was on typewriters. im not sure what it was used for, but thats not what you asked. basically, it comes from a key on the typewriter. if you look at the official video, youll see that its a typewriter, and shes hitting the "Eet" key.
eet is the return key on a typewriter but since you cannot erase what youve writen on a typewriter nither can you erase life. Someone else wrote something like this already but I wanted to clarify. Bueatiful singer and artist. I am enchanted.
i can't believe they used it on 90210! Regina isn't all that popular or well known and ive know this song for a month or two then i heard it on 90210 and remebered it immediatly
@horsegirl551 i carnt belive they used it on 90210 either i use to love this song then gradually forgot about it but noww its straight back on my ipod :)
@smilevryday123 eet just contributes to the theme of the song that losing someone or losing your way throws everything off balance. She lost the beat of the song and therefore beat just becomes "eet"
Herd this at my local garden store and I was all sarcastic like "this is my song " I shazamed it on my phone , found it , downloaded it , and fell in love!!!!! I was mad cuz it wasn't on my playlist today and was so bored at skool singing the first line " it's like forgeting , the words to your favorite song " and It really happened ... I forgot them and I just love it !!!
I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about. This MP3 is directly from the CD that I bought. The quality is just fine on my computer and I haven't gotten any other complaints concerning quality. If this quality isn't good for you, I am sure you can find one of better quality on youtube. Thank you.
@HillOfFlowers I can kinda see where they're getting it. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's "Shitty", but Youtube tends to compress songs and decrease the quality of them a bit and I can kinda hear that here. I listen to music constantly though, so it takes someone pretty in love with music to actually hear the audio difference =P
@ItsUrFavoriteGuy do u think it could be your headphones? If you dont have good headphones it can effect the quality of the song you hear cus this song is actually pretty good quality :) Or you might have a computer where the sound thingy is set to "Speech" and you need to change it to "Music." We had to do that on my tv :) x
I think saying "eet" is almost like saying "oops" or "my mistake"...It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song. I'm probably wrong, but it would make sense. It also could be a play on words as most say. I just remember hearing someone say "eet" in place of "Oops" lol
I think she uses eet as she says "it's like forgetting the words to your favourite song" so she says eet in order to remember if the word was feet, sweet, etc. But can be not! that is up to you =) I'm just giving ideas! =D
@nicciallie Fireflies and Owl City in general is a pretty dry cut copy of The Postal Service which is a project consisting of Ben Gibbard from Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy from Dntel. I highly recommend you listening to The Postal Service if you like fireflies.
