regina spektor - The Virgin Queen (Live)

[Poet2916]

this should be on her new album!

[mimicat77]

When the heck is her new album coming out? I've been going into Regina Withdrawl.... Ahhh!

[alicepotter777]

this is amazing! i just learned about elizabeth1, her life, shekespear, and the renaissance,exactly at the same time as i discover this song. these things are just meant to be. i love regina:):):)

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

I love too many Regina songs to name an absolute favorite, but this song ranks pretty damn close. If I were to be shown these lyrics for the first time without knowing who wrote it, I could've sworn that Kate Bush or another British artist wrote it. It's pure genius. I really, really hope that Regina rediscovers this song and puts it on her next album. She has so much great material that she never releases, it frustrates me.

[Nanileaf]

What i feel listening to this song I think is what God meant for us to feel when he invented music...i wanna laugh, i wanna cry... you think about everything your life, your future...

this is amazing!!!!!!!!

[ADreamAsLovely]

can someone PLEASE message me if they might have the sheet music for this? thanks!

[Lilyfloss]

@ADreamAsLovely yeah, sheet music in a yahoo group called regispek.. go to "files" then other songs

[dancedancechickenman]

Knocked the breath right out of me.

[ADreamAsLovely]

if someone has the mp3 please message me for my email and send it to me.. i looked on respekt online and couldn't find it!

[claud182]

i love adventuring through youtube and finding these songs of hers that i haven't heard

[dccgirl110]

this was stunning. i hope she gets back to it and puts it on an album.

[hiccupsarefatal]

Songs like this are Regina's best work, the ones where you can feel her emotion in her voice, and the lyrics. So happy I saw her live last year. Amazing live.

[kittykat3181994]

I just learned about the Tudors in my World History class, and Elizabeth especially intrigued me. This is an absolutely beautiful song... and it does the woman proud.

[SponsoredbyDuffBeer]

she is so amazing...

I LOVE REGINA!!!

[lacksmyorganics]

this has to be on her next album. pleasepleaseplease

[keren317]

man that shot their horses are the

same man who would like to kiss your hand...

I'm in love. :)

[RhaineAmorangi]

i love the bit from hamlet in the middle

[alarmclockmonster]

ahh! I'm crying now!

[TomDemian]

i want studio version. It's beautiful

[BoookChild]

that stuff at the end is like native american, to show how "on the distant shores new voices are rising".... i think....

correct me if im wrong

[Nanileaf]

I totally agrre with you...some ppl say that sounds like family come home if played backwards...it make sound like it...but how could she sung it like that? this isn't recorded and produced...it's live...so i really think what you said is what she ment....

Gosh I LOVE this song!!! to me it's the most powerfull one she has made and I have heard almos ALL of ther songs....more than once...and head this one tons of times!!! IT"S AMAZINGG!!!

[Nanileaf]

man my spelling is horrible!!!!! lol

[maria045]

@BoookChild I agree... I think it makes sense, cause she's probably talking about Elizabeth I of England, "the virgin queen"... That would explain the headless mother, the heartless father, Shakespeare...

[wowsomethingevil]

@BoookChild Nope, it's talking about her Successor, James of Scotland.

[maeghan1edits]

I really hope she gets back to this song... since there's only one recording, and it's live. She should definitely put it on an album.

[peachtable966]

same here! i love this type of regina song: those that allude to historical figures, that is.

[ALionForALamb]

Genius :)

[NotSoCurrentStuff]

England, England, never forsake me

Won't you take me to have and to hold

I can hear the voice rising up

The virgin queen...

[golddustviolet]

lovely, i wish she sang it more <3

[odpics]

this gives me the shivers!

so goddam good.

[squirtgunrobbery]

that was stunning.

[lemonaidi]

This has been one of my favourite songs of hers for a while-- I wonder if there will ever be a studio version!

[xSmootHope]

Me too!
