This song is so freaking beautiful, I can't even describe it. My interpretation is that it's about those moments when the world suddenly seems so magical and beautiful, and you try to hold onto that feeling but it slips away. And in the darker moments when you feel overwhelmed or sad and can't remember what it is you were trying to hold onto (the question). But she remembers the answer is love, no matter what.
I hate pickles but I'll eat a thousand for Regina. Even those pickles I find in my burgers even when I specifically ask for NO PICKLES (darn teenagers).
...I wonder what the question was. We know that the answer is "love" but what is the question?
Maybe it was: What is a four letter word for something people used to say to express deep feelings for another, but no one uses anymore because it has gotten so cheesy over the years that an attempt to say this word causes a heart attack?
@elebunny45 Hmm. The question may be everything. :) I wonder if Regina knows it... In my opinion question is just question mark- it's a huge understatement so everyone can comprehend it in their own way.
I know she has a lot of mixed heritage but this is definitive NY/Jersey talent. Anyone from the NY area - what is it about this area of the US that produces music light years ahead of the so-called scene? I love music around the world but I've always wondered. Long live NY and long live Regina Spektor
@fl0nk11 you are ridiculous your self, its not meant to take litterally ( don't know how to spell that ) she has lots and lots of more sense then you will ever have.
@fl0nk11 eeehm, that was an account of a friend (ThePinkBucket) but i'm not fourteen at all XD i'm just dutch, and your way of thinking seems like someone who's fourteen years old.
@fl0nk11 But, probably, you have to believe, because there are thousands of reginaholics ;) . Even If someone doesn't like her music, it should be known, that her fans aren't kind of people who wear pink leather/ latex pants, or are drunk all days, or cut themselves while listening to her music. Regina is harmless. She simply creates something that makes us see world in a better way. :)
I always knew she was a good singer, but she mostly did all those quirky notes and stuff. In this one she like belts it and still manages to keep the quirk alive. Amazing!
I really love this song...I remember a few years ago when I first found her...I basically just listened to Fidelity, On the Radio, Summer in the City, and Samson...I don't know how I didn't get into her other music sooner, but right now I'm obsessed with her
@nowibleedroses When I first found out about her. I basically listened to Fidelity, On the Radio, Us, Braille, The Call and Eet. I prefer her style of music to most others.

"Singin' love is the answer
To a question i know, I've been asked
And the answer has got to be love" that's maybe the most simply genius thing i've ever heard.
