Regina Spektor - Small Town Moon

[alexBRMC]

it's about zelda: majora's mask... :P

[alicepotter777]

whats the meaning of this song? BEST SONG EVER:):):)

[000Yasmine000]

Today we're younger than we're ever gonna be. =)

[emmetgirl]

this is one of my favourites too. especially as somebody who keeps leaving small towns...

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

She reminds me of Billy Joel, Bob Dylan and Ray Charles all at once in this performance. She is truly magical.

@josieleah1 She will always live on through her music. And who knows, she may be one of those artists who'll be bigger in death than in life, although I doubt it. But I do wish that more people knew and appreciated her.

[Thehouseoffail]

@IAmPlaysWithSquirrel Look on the birght side, she is bigger in Europe.

[originalbeastchick]

can i get this song on itunes?

[josieleah1]

It's so sad to imagine that when she dies only her fans and close friends will recognize that day and dread it for years to come and she won't be publicly remembered. I hope she lives forever!

[Evangeline30575]

@josieleah1 Yeah shes done more for me than she'll ever know and i've never even met her!

[GermanSailfish]

@Evangeline30575 Are you the guy who lost his "Wallet"?

[Evangeline30575]

@GermanSailfish Nope. I'm the girl who loves Regina Spektor. :D

[GermanSailfish]

@Evangeline30575 Okay, girl... But: Did you get the reference?

[Evangeline30575]

@GermanSailfish Hahaha of course i did. I'm also the girl who cut off her hair and isn't the best water carrier.

[GermanSailfish]

@Evangeline30575 Wow, you're a lot of things... ;D

[Evangeline30575]

@GermanSailfish Hahaha yes.

[seizetheday224]

I wish everyone would stop acting like Regina is some glorious angel. She is flawed, and human, and THAT is why we love her.

[redstrabrerreez]

@seizetheday224 So glad someone else thinks that way. (:

I mean I love her songs, but people act as though she's God's gift to music, and I think that's kind of missing the point.

[lifeisshortbutwide]

if everyone listened to regina spektor the world would be a much better place :)

[AnthonyMinsky]

it's all about the moon baby. This woman is magic and that's all there is to it.

[MrDrdoctormd]

This is why I clasp my hands at night and pray that regina will have a concert near my town

[luv4friends192]

i feel honored to be the same species as regina spektor.....

[jivansegco]

Great song! Lyrics make sens to me great!

[sher666]

amazing beautiful song!!, is this song recorded on one of the albums?

[inspiredbymusic14]

How does she write these songs? some of them are complete nonsense but they have so much meaning! All of her songs are amazing!!!!!!

[somethingswicked]

She has so many songs! I've been a fan for years, but how have I never heard this amazing song? GAHHHH, I love her to bits.

She's not from this world. No human can have a voice like Regina Spektor.

[CooCooCatchoo]

god, do i love her.

[reginaholic]

This song is beyond catchy and amazing

OH REGINA! WE LOVE YOU and your musical genius. Cant wait for Far!

[grantchno]

today we younger than we ever gonna be!

[peachtable966]

wow this is a beautiful song; intoxicating, i tell you!

[AnthonyMinsky]

She bleeds music. It's just her natural thing. To me she is the fifth Beatle. Her songs are so different and rare that I cry just to even believe that a human being can even write such brilliant music. Regina Spektor doesn't even seem real. It is 2009 and I didn't think it was even possible to be original anymore. But Regina Spektor proved me WRONG!!! You blow me away Regina, you blow me away!!!!

[WyattDstevens12]

omfg why isn't this recorded this song is amazing

[anonymousandcool]

I think some of her unrecorded live songs are my favorites. I just love the beat she makes in this, and the rest of it of course. Some girl in the audience yells "Thank you!" when she finishes haha

[VealParmigiana]

In this excellent song, Regina's intricate vocals and piano stand out.

[AnthonyMinsky]

Yeah, but you know her. Even if she records songs you've only heard in concert. She'll just come up with newer ones at the next one you go to, or older ones you haven't heard or she hasn't performed in a long time :) She is a fan pleaser with albums and concerts. She's very UN-disappointing with whatever she chooses to do.

[teellh89]

i love when she claps

[AnthonyMinsky]

Man this song changes direction so many times. I'ts like 3 songs in one. Love when she sings 'moon' the second time. It makes me laugh it's so good.

[kajatesa18]

MAN, she's just so completely gifted and inspirational. I really wish she was more famous so that people could realize what true talent really is in contrast to some of the garbage that's being listened to these days.

[AnthonyMinsky]

Amen to that!! I have a feeling that she will eventually explode. She has to. She's just too good. Then people will appreciate all the stuff they've already missed out on for the last 5+ years

[depolarized]

she has, look at this video, it's unreleashed and live, and it has 9000 views.

all her music videos have loads of views

[AnthonyMinsky]

Some in the millions. Is 9000 a lot for a song of hers like this? I don't know what to compare it to

[23Allie23]

Ahh! I love this song!!! I know I've probably commented on this ten gazillion times, but its just amazing!!!! Actually, it might kinda unhealthy that I adore it so much, seeing as how its not even on an album yet lol

[rickypaulgriffin]

it isn't unhealthy, but you may have reginitis ;)

[AnthonyMinsky]

I've been strickin with that for a long time now. There's no cure for it. :)

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

I love this song... it's so poignant.

[jaxn]

brilliant

hope this is one her new album

[tyleroreilly]

oh me too! me too...

[rickypaulgriffin]

oh, she makes me melt:)

[willyoufeelbetter]

her songs makes me want to be a better person ;)

[TheSthecretKeeper]

today we younger than we ever gonna be!

[23Allie23]

I absolutally adore and love this song!!! What I would give to hear her preform it...

I really hope she puts this on her upcoming album!!

[carolin988]

i love it!! ive never heard it before, thanks for putting it!

[litenogsot]

This is my favorite Regina Spektor song. :)

My other favorites are Man of a Thousand Faces and Aquarius. It's a shame they're so hard to find.

Her unreleased material MUST be on her next album!! And I hope it's more like this where it's just Regina and her piano. The raw, folk sound is best. <3

[HaightAshburyD]

Trust me i love Regina Spektor as much as you. I think she is a great musician with a great voice and a great talent for songwriting. this is quite a good song.

but if all of her unreleased stuff was on her next album it would have like over 100 songs on it. she has a lot of unreleased stuff that's really good...

[Sinderella16]

keep looking at all the unreleased stuff, it's incredible.

i'm at 74 videos (on youtube) and not even close to finding everything...

[porridgewader]

Regina is beautifully strange, and strangly beautiful. :)

[bikerboy180]

Wow her song writing always impresses me! Good job Regina.

[chibiyumeusa]

Her next album is going to have to have like 30 songs on it! Haha, I love it all and it makes me sad that I only get to hear any of these songs when I have internet access

[sophiaclovee]

really? 30 songs? where did you hear this?? are they songs she's been doing on tours or are they all completely new.. oh man i MUST know

[chibiyumeusa]

Sorry to confuse you! "Is going to have to have" , not "going to have", meaning I WANT it to have like 30 songs so that some of these would be released. :) I really don't know anything about a next album. Just wishing I could have this and a lot of her other amazing songs on my ipod:)

[kandibearx3]

as amazing as that would be, how do you know this? there's a lot of songs she's played over the years that didn't end up on an album.

[AnthonyMinsky]

You know what I bet she'll do? Every new album will be 3/4ish new songs and then include 2 to 3 of her unreleased. Didn't she do that with Begin To Hope, with Samson & a couple others? I know some people like the idea of certain songs only being heard in concert, but how often do you get to hear it then. I don't live in NY and don't want always wait to go to a lucky concert. I'd rather hear Regina and all her songs OFTEN. So if it's recorded, we CAN. What Regina fan wouldn't agree with that.

[peachtable966]

she's a jelly or a jam

a jelly or a jam

(Making Records referrence, for anyone who's new...)

[AnthonyMinsky]

She's not only both, she's every bread spread there is. :)

[peachtable966]

so versitile lol

[AnthonyMinsky]

I'm calling her the fifth beatle. Let's spread it.

[peachtable966]

Sounds like a plan, stan. Anthony....

oh, spread it. haha pun intended?

[AnthonyMinsky]

When I was old enough to appreciate The Beatles, I couldn't believe how great they were. I still can't. Except for maybe a little Pink Floyd, Regina Spektor is the only one that's made me feel like that since. She is music history in the making. I am so grateful to recognize it while it's happening.

[peachtable966]

I agree that Reg has what it takes to become a music legend. Whether she is actually remembered in that light depends on a lot of things... (considering how fast people are forgotten in music these past few years- if you're played on the radio, chances are good: you're a one-hit wonder.)

If anyone can pull off going down in history from this year on, it's totally Regina. She's ... well, don't get me started ;-)

[AnthonyMinsky]

Isn't it hard not to talk about her? & you want to dissect everything about her. When it clicks & you GET her, all of a sudden you get such a strong appreciation that you need to vent to somebody else just to get confirmation that this girl is even for real. People gush over music & artists all the time, including me. But this time it's different, a lot different. To me Regina isn't just a cool few songs or a good album. She's got the power to change music. To me she's that good.

[peachtable966]

That's really what sets her apart-everyone else took a good look at what's out there and said "what if we add this or that?" but regina works in just the opposite way-she has a picture, or an emotion already in her head, and instruments are hardly sufficient.

and as a result, the rest of "music" can't compete.

she can sing complete nonsense, literally, and still move me more than any pop ballad.

She tells stories in more than just lyrics

she shares emotion with more than just stories.

[AnthonyMinsky]

Great point. She has many good meaningful lines here & there, but mostly her lyrics don't make sense. Many try & figure them out but can't. She even says in interviews that she doesn't like to explain the words. & SHE doesn't even understand them sometimes. But like you said so well: 'she tells stories in more than just lyrics' To not understand the words has NEVER ONCE ruined my love for her music. She always makes me happy or moves me to tears, even when I don't get it. Which I don't get :)

[bridoll1]

Regina is going to be a music legend. I couldn't agree with you more on that. Every day Iisten to her. One of her cd's (Songs) was stuck in my car for 3 weeks before I ever realized it. I cannot get enough of her. I love her. I want to meet her, to see her in person. I can't even get my mind around how someone can be as taleneted and beautiful as she is. She truely is on a whole diffrent level that any other musician. She is truely my idol. It is really is nice seeing others as equally obsessd.

[AnthonyMinsky]

Yes. I get upset at friends and family when they don't get it. I just don't understand how they can't. She's a flippin' genius. I'll play a song of hers to someone and they'll say it's cute or sometimes they even get irritated. Can you even believe that?!! Except for maybe the Beatles, I've never seen anything like her. I feel so special to be alive at the same time she's making new music. It makes me feel like I'm a little part of it.

[littlerainworm550]

@AnthonyMinsky

oh I feel exactly the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from the first day I have met her on the youtube 4 years ago until today

[23Allie23]

I want this to be on her next album sooooo bad!!! It's an amazing song. I want One More Time With Feeling and Loveology to be on there too lol

[bloomingauthor7]

Yeah, and Man of a Thousand Faces...

[goldiecox34]

And Human of the Year!!

[Fringy14]

And all the rest of the songs! We are Regina addicts, we want everything she's got to give us!

[emelilla]

I love how she sounds like a wolf howling when she says "moon"... She really thinks about it all. She's so smart!! This song is wonderful. And she is too =)

[AnthonyMinsky]

Yeah, while the song is already awesome, she adds those little extra touches. I can't even tell you how many times I've rewound the second time she sings 'moon'. It's just the cutest coolest thing to listen to. It's hard to explain even why. It just is. But that's Regina for ya. There's nobody like her.

[jjweprich]

her words are amazing. She is an artist above so many others.

[expired1]

thanks man

[CatsAndRabbits]

Regina Spektor is The Shittttt

[kazzineaux01]

It's all about the moon

[Serialangel]

Happy Birthday Ms. Spektor! May your music shine always :D xxx

[expired1]

[waynejanie]

This song, well all her songs, are the truest most sincere works of art

[rosadeoro]

[musefan152]

She was in Houston? Oh god. I feel sick. How could I have missed that? :O

[rosadeoro]

She was in Houston on November 7. It was awesome!!! Sorry. :(

[sophiaclovee]
