[rocktunes]

Yes!

[maybeilovemusic]

she sounds like....???

ahh fu' dunno but she's grea!

[maybeilovemusic]

@maybeilovemusic

duh kate nash maybe....

[Lilyfloss]

This was the first version of this song i ever heard.. <3

[Lilyfloss]

This ending is the right and original ending :)

[plutofatelli]

I think I'm in love.

[vikingsfan0592]

She is literally PERFECT. I know exactly what people mean when they say they are in love with her. lol shes so cute and charming. cant say enough good things

[storytron]

im so in love with her music, .... it also helps that shes a very charming looking lady

[Lilyfloss]

That haircut is not awkward! She looks beautiful and sounds beautiful :)

[FreeLoveFreeSpirit]

Ahhh she is so cute I almost can't stand it!!

[S70lz]

Oye, si quieres te echo ácido en la cara, que igual te arreglas.

[LovelyLucyMaybe]

She is one of my biggest inspirations and infuences! I love her! She's so innovative, and so great! Her lyrics are great! haha love the part about her eyelashes!

[wowbenwtf]

why is she not my wife?

[DrLlamagon]

I want to meet her more than anything!!!! She's so amazing it's not even funny!!

[ohlookhesings]

SHE IS SO FREAKING CUTE.

[helloxbrightxeyes]

She is so beautiful and a rare talent. It's refreshing to see somebody in a tee shirt and no makeup playing the keyboard and having such a good time.

[Tiban]

@helloxbrightxeyes too bad this was 5 years ago

[Ender018]

I think I can speak on behalf of every single person in this world (even the ones who have never heard of Regina, or the ones who dislike her) : "Regina, you are absolutely awesome !". Thank you ;)

[davvvvvvvid]

this video was back in 2004, yet this was only released on her album 'Far' which was released in 2009. Anyone know why?

[ak123456p]

@davvvvvvvid Back in the day she would play songs live without worrying about whether it was on a record or not. She has said that she always pulls a few old songs every time she makes a new record so this is one of those.

[Num1RobPatzGirl]

AWESOME!!!!!!



[HeyJeremyC]

It's reassuring knowing that she sounds just as fantastic live as she does on her albums...it's a rare thing to come across nowadays.

Just another reason why Regina is one of the best. <3

[Jetstarboy]

Amazing how easy Regina makes it look. I love every song of hers.....

[ooLevityoo]

when you can make brilliant songs -with dolphin noises in- you know you're awesome :)

[beccawillaert]

she is so. flippin. adorable.

[MizzCandyMizzMusic]

im like 13 and everybody has heard of regina spektor WHY ISNT SHE ON THE RADIO ???????

[dewfreakii]

@MizzCandyMizzMusic she's on the radio... just usually on the muzak or satellite radio stations they play in grocery stores and retail stores like Old Navy or Kohls

[UseMoreLensFlare]

@MizzCandyMizzMusic 'Cause the DJ fell asleep.

[bigt4life]

@UseMoreLensFlare you are my new best friend!

[MatheusAgostin]

Why I feel like crying?

[JcdJulz]

Doesn't sound the same without the drums. Still great though.

[xJorg]

LOVE U... MY QUEEN!!!!!!

[420Bigkahuna]

Wow she's beautiful

[420Bigkahuna]

I'm in love XD she's awesome

[juu90]

I like this one more than the official one <---(i guess thats what it is).

[AGENT24]

She's so adorable and intelligent at the same time. She has both a wittiness and an innocence to her

[megshipp]

love love love love love love like so much. :)

[Hello2950]

The end has changed since then :)

<3<3<3

[BunnyMan456]

prefer the old one tell you the truth

[cryptic976]

@BunnyMan456

same :[ i actually dont even like the new one. i skip it on the cd :/ it's sad.

[BeatrijsBakker]

wow , it took her long to put it on a cd cuz it's on far!!! ;o

[thegurples]

FAR too long! ;D lol.

[BeatrijsBakker]

@thegurples haha, (:

[elineenile1]

I like this song

[Jakobee]

Does she not have a live band, it sounds better on the CD. Or does she always play live with just the piano?

[nowibleedroses]

I gotta say, I much prefer her live...the subtle way in which she changes the songs and the very fact that it's just her and whatever instrument she playing...of course that's usually a piano...I think especially with some of the more commercialized songs of hers the live performances are more 'her'

[tropikeys]

What does her t-shirt say? Something about the Brass Monkey?

[tr0issoeurs]

monkey club!

[jacquelinevaleria6]

"sounds like summer...to me...yeah"

<3

[melman1268ru]

absolutely blown away!!!! this is talant!!!

[cammigurlgonewild]

I learned this on piano :)

[nataliegthompson]

absolutely beautiful, an amazing song writer and amazingly charming. AH i'm in love!

[EWOK5MH]

Ill graffiti up his toys.... when we gettin that bullet trailer?

[meansnothingnow]

Delightful, simply delightful!

Cheers me up when I'm down...

[atatski1]

this version is so much better than Far's... i just hope she'd make new songs without backbeats... i really miss the old regina...

[stemikger]

It's so great to see originality. It's hard to come by these days with big business dictating who makes it and who dosen't.

[volleyballdrama7]

monkey club. hah

[omfbananas]

She sounds so fantastic live...almost better than recorded, there's the human, raw aspect to it. I love it! And i agree with rocktunes, totally blows Taylor Swift's crappy live performances (and generic songs) out of the water. =]

[rocktunes]

Fantastic. Real talent. Crushes lame acts like Taylor Swift.

[notlukemertes]

@rocktunes Can't we just agree to like a song and not bring in insults? Such negativity everywhere, we should be able to just appreciate music without also having to insult young ladies.

[DarkSunshineRain]

@rocktunes There are worse people than Taylor Swift. At least she writes her songs and plays guitar. She seems humble enough. Nobody compares to Regina, so it's kinda hard to take it easy on other singers.

[Jonny48195]

@rocktunes Stop dissing other people. You can like someone without putting other artists down!

[larcal369]

@rocktunes Taylor Swift is just the worst!

[WoWDemondays]

@rocktunes I love Taylor Swift

[ojhayam]

@rocktunes I don't really like Taylor Swift but I feel like bashing her is unjustified. I may not like her style of music but I still respect the fact that she is one of the few top 40 musicians who writes her own music, plays her own instruments and sings lives.

[milkenobi]

@rocktunes Well said. For Regina to be as big as Taylor she'd need to be in line with the kinds of junk and images that need to be marketed and sold to make the millions needed to keep such a star in business. It's best that real talent like Regina is un-raped by mainstream fame.

[blakcpavement]

@rocktunes don't knock Taylor dog

[milkenobi]

@rocktunes Taylor Swift songs have no shape, no light and dark or interesting tone or instrumentation. They contain no surprises or twists, they don't stretch your imagination or delight your ears. They're just a musical sausage filled with predictable, pentatonic acoustic guitars and profitable, easy to digest song structure. Pooped onto kid's plates and sold by the millions on the taste of Disney-esque boyfriend dramas, hip clothes and product placement. Artists like Regina Spektor bring hope.

[rocktunes]

@milkenobi Yes! I agree! Well said!

[lovableminuslovely]

DROOL!! She makes me feel like a goon for loving her so much!

[scoobles08]

oh my god, right!? lmao high five, you totally just summarized it for me

[MaliiceAlice]

I loveeee it

[pomdapirouge]

OMG... She Sang that song back then already :O

[elebunny45]

she sounds a little nervous or shy speaking. its cute really.

[Boobtoob2]

I love ReSPEKT! She's brilliant!

[TheKingsMusician]

wow she one of those few artist who sound good live lol

[ellienadmags]

her voice is actually beautiful :)

[holohulolo]

She sounds a little nervous at the beginning.

She did sound like dolphin on that dolphin song.

So adorable

[julieannlevine]

OHHHH.... I ADORE THIS WOMEN:)

[jlt759]

SHE IS COMING TO MY SCHOOL!!!! AAAaaaaaah!

[marvelousXthings]

Effin' lucky bastard...I want her to come ot my school...I want to meet her. She's is one of my favorite singers and artists :)

[TheKermitthefrog1]

omg SLOW DOWN WOMAN

[xcolonelxturtle]

Sha has an amazing piano playing technique!

[bdoughty814]

The most true words humanity can ever speak:

"REGINA SPEKTOR ROCKS!"

AND IF YOU LIKE REGINA SEND ME A FRIEND REQUEST PLEASE!

[Alec0209]

she's so amazing *.*

[jenyouwhine]

I love the end! How her fingers just glide across the keyboard.

[speakerphone94]

it's a steinway

[XenomeJane]

Woah, Steinway makes keyboads...?

[tnguyen206]

they also make motorcycles and guitars and lawnmowers. never mind that is yamaha.

[XshattereddreeamsX]

I didn't even realize I've heard this version before when I listened to it on Far, and it's not even that different. Weird. The dolphin noises are perfect... and only regina can pull it off.

[schnacker41]

what?

[cammigurlgonewild]

she's so pretty!

[IndieMom6]

I love the dolphin noise! What kind of piano does she play is it a bose? Or a steinway? I can't tell.

[cristasdfg]

robertorivera987, dfkj I think the same, she is sooooo cute :3

[robertorivera987]

she's sooo cute XD

[xcolonelxturtle]

Wow she is awesome. And pretty...... hahaha!

[deetardeded]

haha yes! so proud of regina, this song made it through 5 years, and onto her new 2009 album! I love her. I love this whole performance, I downloaded it, and its alot different, you can see that she's matured and gotten alot more classier I suppose you can say, but I loooove this side to her. baggy black t shirt and "awkward hair cut" as she calls it. hahaa. Love you regina! one more month until I see her :]

[AnitaCal]

I love this regina

[joeflint82]

I can accept what purplepum26 was saying, it was an educated & polite polite, but was that necessary somethingswicked? I don't think so, I'd like to think many people will agree with me on that. You've made yourself look like an idiot.

[DarkSunshineRain]

I fucking love this version. The ending is especially great.

[alittlepieceofcake]

i love this song. i love her 'far' album. actually i love them all. i really really want to learn how to play this song!!

[Maluuuuuuh]

Is this song on some album ? :)

[sjwecks]

Yes, her new album, "Far," (available on CD and through iTunes), thought the album version's tempo is slightly slower.

"Far" is a great album. PIck it up!

[xgiannax]

On the new one. "far"

[scvisme]

omfg. i love this song <3 its on the album "Far" now... yaaay

[joexwildcat]

why are people arguing over the sound a dolphin makes? :( weather she got it right or not, she is amazing. i really dont think dolphin noise is the highlight of this song.

[lugi1989]

regina spektor rocks my socks.

[joeflint82]

I find it lame, that any negative comment can be so easily removed. I'm entitled a valid opinion, and that opinion is: No dolphin has ever made the noise she is doing.

[5a5sdfafdass4rrrs]

Who gives a F*** what you think, it's ART. I like her dolphin sound better than any real dolphin anyway. She's an angel.

[purplepum26]

I get what you are saying, but the point is to not be so literal! everyone plus Regina knows dolphins don't make that sound, it's suppose to be random and fun (her theme in her songs)...

[somethingswicked]

And can YOU make a legitimately accurate dolphin sound? If not, kindly shut up.

[abbeyincali]

She's so adorable. "This song sounds like summer. To me." I love her. <3

[blackrhain177]

haha i jusr bought the album "far" with this song on it!! i love it!!!!

[flamingsnoids]

Sounds like a sea lion to me. Really. I think it's cool. Sharing the stage with a sea lion and all. They bark a bit like dogs, and have somewhat canine faces and big dark eyes. Dolphins make high frequency clicks to find fish with sonar. Regina makes a good sea lion. I love it. She warbles great too. Not quite up to a meadow lark, but what a voice! Now will someone please tell me if Regina read Franz Kafka in English or Russian.

[PiesCanFly]

Love the dolphin sounds, haha. :)

[blutanz]

me too! <3

:)

[joeflint82]

sound more like seals to me. don't recall dolphins ever making this sound. only stupid bit of the song - she can barely keep a straight face singing it, because she knows it is ridiculous.

[PiesCanFly]

@joeflint82 The lyrics say "dolphin song" right before she makes those noises.

[speakerphone94]

<3she is amazing. im glad this was put on the new album (:

[251556243]

I Love how she always tries to explain her own announcements.

[jaaayjay1221]

Regina is marvelous.

i just cant get enough of her music !

[greenleader1]

"thou remembe'st, since once I sat upon a promontory, and heard a mermaid, on a dolphin's back, uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, that the rude sea grew civil at her song, and certain stars shot madly from their spheres... to hear the sea-maid's music." from "a midsummer night's dream" - william shakespeare

[dgrant625]

the first regina song i fell in love with a few years ago,

[Inconsequential1]

I think I'm in love with Regina Spektor.

[ChiefRocker137]

get in line, pal

[sealedpandora16]

That line is sooooo long :(

[paragoneo]

Not the first. Certainly not the last.

[kaylalalajayy]

i think this may be my favorite song of far:D

[dgrant625]

the first regina song I fell in love with, I'm very glad it's on her new album but the live versions, especially this one are so much more profound to me =)

[jesspeachi]

The great thing about Regina's songs is that all the studio edits are just accessory to the original version. The live versions convey essentially the same feeling and intensity. She's so fucking talented!

[Radicalchickster]

Omg, this song by far is so completely summer themed. In fact, I'm using it for my first summer novel song on the playlist. :] As to inspire further parts of the book... I love Regina Spektor. And, I know what you mean. I don't know anyone who can sing quite so skilled like that in front of a live audience and her piano playing is quite lively and makes me smile. In short, she's really talented. What's her new album like? I heard it's amazing. <3 :]

[Sandydahling]

Ohhhh, she is so cute with her little description at the beginning of the video. "The end, tee hee."

[sombrerosarelove]

So much better than her new version.

[sseager]

Its fun singing the dolphin song bit while driving 65 on a highway !!

[xloooove]

im gonna see her july 14th,

im so looking forward

i love her she is so amazing

[CrazYSeanTai]

i love her

[aLilythorn]

:) sooo excited for the new cd! and I like both versions of this song, the 'simpler' one played here and the newer one on her cd.

[wilmabignose]

Random thing I noticed: at 3:08, you can't see the last letters of The Barfly sign, so it just says, The Barf. Somehow, that description does not fit this song at all = ) Regina is incredible in so many senses of the word.

[manco82]

This song is on her new album "Far".

[richardpaulgriffin]

regina favorited this video.

[AnthonyMinsky]

I'm sure you know this, but did you read the track list of the bonus track album. Live version of 'Flowers', Time is all Around (I'm still grinning from that inclusion), & 2 new ones. Something like - Sword & Pen & Riot Fears. Regina is soo generous with music. This year we're gonna be swimming in Regina. If I was ever destined to have a crappy year of life, I hope it's this one because I'll have a lot of her to pull me out of it. :)

[grim7666]

Her new single from far is on her myspace as well as the song list and it does include folding chair. ^^ I'm too excited for this.

[Lizzyproductions]

i like how she sounds all shy all the time hahaha plus she sounds just liike the cd's.. doesnt sound terrible. :)

[DarkSunshineRain]

HAHAHAHA! I fucking love regina spektor. "It sounds like summer...to me...the end" That made me laugh so much!

[Dragonwing3000]

This song is going ro be on her upcoming album called "Far" due out this summer!! Can't wait!!

[thegreatpie]

I just found out tonight! Now how will I get to sleep...

[23Allie23]

I just found out a few days ago as well!!! I wasn't online for a few weeks... being a hardcore Regina fan, I'm still beating myself up over it :)

[squirtgunrobbery]

That's only a rumor.

The final songs haven't been chosen yet.

That's been recorded, but not necessarily in the final mix.

[steph895]

really? How do you know? My i desperately want a new Regina album. Plus i love this song!

[jenyouwhine]

What? Could you send me a link with info please?

[reginaspanties]

were do you guys get all these informations????????

[lexiandmadi]

...the internet.

[m1ke8000]

i got perfect body but sometimes i FORGET. loving Youuuuuuu uh uh uh uh uh uh uhhhhhhhhhhh! Kisses From Uruguay. til death with regina <3

[xhaxhkazulu]

Dear lord, I love this woman!

[barbiedumped2ken]

This song is so sweet. I adore it!

[jenners101]

i really want her to be on the ellen degeneres show.

i wanna see what'd she say to ellen, whatever it'd be it'd be cute :)

[AnthonyMinsky]

Shows like Ellen, Oprah, Regis & Kelli never play cool edgy people like Regina. Only late night guys do that. I wish they would though. Maybe we'll get surprised someday

[jenners101]

they just kind of both have the same playful attitude.

i'm sorry to whoever got offended and decided to give me a thumbs down..

[spektoritis]

regina = love

how can you not love her <3

[XxwhoaitsmoexX]

this is my fav regina song(:

she's so amazing

[addicted2thaShinDigg]

is there ANYWHERE to download this song??? I love it!!

[XxwhoaitsmoexX]

limewire(:

[AppleBuddah]

This is my favorite Regina Song ever.

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

Cool! She's been playing it a lot recently, including at a radio appearance, so there's hope it'll be on the next record!

[AnthonyMinsky]

I'd say the same thing if it wasn't for the already 50+ of her other songs I love too. I can't pick, It's impossible. It's like trying to pick a favorite Beatle song.

[PegasusLover]

aw i love her! she is so cool.

*wiggles with excitement*

I love her lyrics they're so odd and fantastic! ^.^

[vreausom15]

She's so cute how she's very relaxed when singing and so nervous and shy when just talking :D

[classifieds103]

I absolute love two parts of this song

"I got a perfect body

because my eye lashes catch my sweat"

That one truly speaks about how we take granted the true beauty of our bodies, which makes us more superior than other creatures in many ways.

"Don't make frowns...you silly clown"

can someone say.. cute to the 102910921th power?
