I've got alot of stuff going on at the moment and sometimes i get stressed about it. I'm sitting here writing, wondering if i'll ever be able to publish anything and i put on this song and it calms me down and makes me smile :) thanks Regina!
I love this acapella version, hearing it like this I imagine her speaking/singing this rythm/melody on a soap box in a small, chic, indie coffe shop on a Spoken Word night!
I love how all of her songs have a meaning, and how she is obviously not afraid to say what needs to be said. Furthermore, she has the amazing ability to step into a character's shoes and relate what they would feel. As a writer, I hope to someday master this as well as Regina does.
@ pinkie: He does want me to be happy. In many ways, submitting to him makes me happy. He does not force me to submit to him, nor does he abuse me. I have had my share of vanilla, egalitarian relationships and liked them, but I have decided of my own free will to try a D/s relationship and I like it even more.
This song is especially poignant for me. I'm 17 years old and I just entered into a D/s relationship as the sub. We're deeply in love, but I sometimes wonder if I'm missing out because Ill never experience freedom.
@LeighSabio If he loves you, really loves you he won't want you to be subordinate. He'll want you to be happy, he won't want you to feel like you're missing out on anything. Don't do something you'll regret. You should have someone who truely loves you, whether that's the guy you're dating or not...that's what you deserve and I'm sure you could get it.
its unbelievable how one night I wrote just a word on you tube and I found all Regina`s songs and it was like my life its retailed in her songs ... no no no I am not dreaming :)
my landlord knew margaret atwood, she used to live up the street from me. because regina sings about her, that someone makes me feel closer to regina haha. looove her.
such a great song. *-* and i LOVE it that there are no instruments. it's just more... heartwarming and closer. it's like she's sitting next to me singing, lala.:]
shes so talented. you say it needs music.....for one, music is anything with an intended beat... now tell me u werent bobbing your head to it when u listened. the "music" is in her head and shes awesome enough to share it with us
@rocktunes yeah she is! she sings about oedipus, samson and evin alludes to the little prince in baobabs. i'm not certain what literary work this song refers to. what is it? she's friggin' amazing!
That's an amazing idea! she's so pink. I love her... soo... much... seeing her in toronto on sept. 16th! so excited, except scared, Im definately going to be crying. Im a loser.
She's putting out this brand new album full of new songs and producing older ones and still there are ones like this still unreleased. I have a feeling she'll include all her material eventually. Boy I wonder how many albums that'll take. Especially with new ones all the time too. She should put out a double or a triple and name it only Regina Spektor in solid pink, and we'll all nickname it the Pink album. Huh?:) You with me folks? :) And pink goes good with cute and beautiful. Just an idea :)
You're a BRILLIANT and MAGICAL person. Just that sentence and your name are enough to make me want to marry you, regardless of gender. Evidently; I agree :D
I understand, personally I love this song, but about half of her stuff I really don't care for. Don't get me wrong, I'll give any of it a shot, I LOVE Regina Spektor! She is by far one of my favorit artists. It's also pretty dissapointing when I hear something from her that I don't fall in love with.
Thankyou for understanding . :) . im glad im not the only one . I was feeling pretty lonley for a sec there ... Your right . Regina spektor is soo awsome . but not all of her stuff is completly . Well , good . :( .
Well it's good to someone, just not all her stuff is fit for me. I mean, if something is good, wether you personally like it or not, you can't deny that it's good! There's quite a few bands that I give props to, even though I don't like to listen to their music. Happy music hunting!
I can see how you don't completely LOVE all of her songs, because she has such a large variety of styles. Unless you have the SAME EXACT taste in music that Regina does. I love almost all of her songs, but I see where you're coming from.
thankyou . i appreciate that you see where i am coming from . i never said i didn't like it . i just said that its was unusual , therefore it made me cringe a bit .
Don't feel upset that some people don't value your opinion - that will always happen. You are entitled to think some of her songs are horrible, and to give your opinion - after all, there is something called freedom of speech. You did not in any way harm anyone by saying this, so I don't think you deserved the thumbs down at all.
does anybody know this song of her that used to be on youtube, with a kinda homemade video with a pretty girl in it.. (not regina).. i can remember very little about it, but i remember finding it a wonderful song.. i forgot the title and i can't find it anywhere.. her voice has very much vibration and she sings a lot of strange words.. can anybody please tell me the name of the song?
true music: The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.
i figured out how everyone who smokes can quit.....first....put out that smoke.....then when ya feel like another.....listen to a song by Regina.....and you'll get addicted to her instead....hopefully like i did....is she really from earth?...or from heaven.....
The only problem is that I can handle 2 addictions at the same time :( But I'll have to say, that while I smoke like one pack of cigs every three to four days, I smoke about 3 packs of Regina every day. So I guess that's a start. :) Good suggestion.
few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didn't want that happening to me
