This makes my heart ache and swoon at the same time. It pulls the little pure core of me out into the open air, where it's beauty and this melody can meet half way... simply perfection...
like TheBigFindus already said, your age and sex doesn't matter. neither does your sexual orientation. anyone can feel free to be moved by regina spektor or any other artist for that matter :) cheers, m.
@eddypurpus XD I don't think it is, I'm a straight 20 year old male headbanger and I'm totally in love with this woman, I also got a few of my buddies (who are also straight) obsessed with her
@eddypurpus I'm a straight 21 year old man and I love her music ever since I discovered it as a straight 18 or 19 year old. So I think that's perfectly okay :)
I know this is kind of random, because now that ive read your comments, i finally understand this song, but when i first heard this, i was thinking that Samson had cancer, so thats why he doen't have long hair anymore. i know its kind of crazy, but it was my first though. :)
I always thought it was about Samson from the Bible, but now that I listen to it more, maybe the part about how "the Bible didn't mention us, not even once" means it's not a Biblical tale? It's something different and modern that she's comparing it to. Just a thought.
I thought that too at first. If she's not Delilah then she could be another one not mentioned. Because they Bible mentions Delilah. But now I just think she means it's not the Biblical tale, it's another romantic story. Does anyone know for sure? I love figuring out what her songs mean!
I always thought that line "the bible didn't mention us, not even once" was talking about samson's wife, the woman he cheated on with delilah.
The line "i love you first" and "your hair was long when we first met" is speaking about her and his relationship when they were happy and in love (before the infidelity)
the line "I cut his hair one night, a pair of dull sissors in the yellow light" I've always thought was a way to describe them getting it on.
@polo12guard wasnt this a bible story? because his hair was very important to him because i think it poweful and she cut it while he was sleeping then he became weak and then he was murdered. i think thats how the song went.
@polo12guard The line about cutting his hair is a continuation of the infidelity in my opinion. It says "I cut your hair MYSELF one night..." which I take to mean after Delilah. As a way of being like "Well if she can do it I can do it," but is also metaphorical of her trying to live up to the other woman, hence the importance of the line "he told me that I'd done all right." That's my interpretation.
@lilxkarmaxmonster I don't think that there is another woman involved, it seems rather that the love has faded over the time, they don't love each other as they did. The story about her cutting his her is not about empowerment bur rather about the faith he had in her, after all, Samson's hair is his strength and letting someone else cut it shows trust. But all this is gone now, she sees him and all she saw in him is gone.
@sickcellmate Oh, and there is also the interpretation that one of them has cancer. I would say that it's him because of the loss of his hair (due to the chemo)
I love this song. One of my favourite Regina Spektor songs. It makes me cry everytime I sing it.. There's just something about her voice and the words.
finally !!! i love this version so much more than the slower one i have been looking for it for so long now lol i hate when people replace shit thats perfect just cause slower seems more emotional
This song was featured in an episode of CSI New York where Stella gets attacked by her crazy ex boyfriend and she ends up killing him. The song is perfect in this episode.
This song is so beautiful, and this video compliments it soooo much! I don't understand how there can be millions of views on youtube on a video of turtles humping, but only 3400 views on this one
totally fucking agree with you. particularly the hip hop / pop scene. i gave up on those music right around regina spektor came around. Now I listen to artists like Duffy, Joss Stone (her new album is hot), and many otheres.
There's so many elements of this that remind me of the girl i love... she was a red head, she cut my hair, I had hair past my chest. I loved her before any of the idiots that claim they do... And in a way she is my sweetest downfall. I can't get over her. It's been just over a year now. :(
unique :)
