regina spektor - carbon monoxide

[LookinGoodJim]

Thousands alice, thousands

[alicepotter777]

what i would give to play in front of hundreds of people the way she does:):):)

[FreeLoveFreeSpirit]

I love Regina and her musical genius. Her music touches my soul. I also love her beautiful hair! She is one of the only artists I know with naturally curly hair, and she embraces it!! I have curly hair and she makes me feel good about it- I used to hate being different. She has never straightened it or tried to follow trends that main stream artists do. It makes me hopeful about the future of music and the future of individuality and diversity! Peace and love, everyone!

[Hankleberg]

She's fun because she's jewish.

True fact.

[babypolarbear]

regina and the audience are so freaking cute

[alicepotter777]

@babypolarbear SO FREAKIN CUTE oh yes:0

[zoegirlcha]

Every time this song comes on while i'm trying to sleep with some music on, i turn it off. I get the feeling i wont wake up the next morning.

[curtainpower]

I always thought it was about a suicide pact between two lovers?

I guess that's the great thing about Regina's songs - they're so ambiguous and open to any interpretation.

"Why limit something that could be so limitless?" - Regina on why she doesn't talk about the meaning behind the songs.

[ScireFlamma]

@curtainpower I remember reading somewhere that David Bowie said that the interpretations people have of his songs are usually far deeper and more interesting than what he was writing about. Cool interpretation.

[curtainpower]

@ScireFlamma I imagine that's how it is with a few of Regina's songs. That's the great thing about their songs - it's all so effortless and doesn't seem forced, thus leaving room for any interpretation. "Music Box" could be about just that, or it could be about feeling trapped & feeling like you're repeating the same thing/going through the motions every day.

[fifizinha123]

carbon monoxide = jews in second world war... "no one will notice we're gone cause we don't have a job to keep" also I think the daddy, daddy, daddy part ends with d-dead

[vCatho]

@fifizinha123

wow.

[whilejanisjoplining]

I wonder what is beyond the song. what is it actually about? Once I heard that it's about lung cancer.

[tony920226]

this is clearly influenced by No Surpises - Radiohead

[philly500go]

wow shes a frigin diamond ,and ppl moaning about the fans in the crowd,put yourselves in their shoes ,your watchin this live its an amazing atmospere, i think id be doing the same as they are sorry ,xx

[ItsDefinatlyAlex]

i hate when people think they're that incredible that they could ruin the song by singing obnoxiously over it

[Laneyboo39]

I love Regina! She's amazing! <3 I love her!

[YIIMM]

I have a sudden urge to play PacMan...

[Oddnessxtreme]

the people singing along are kind of annoying :-/

[popoyt]

But not as much as the guys screaming... They definitely need to get laid.

[alicepotter777]

@Oddnessxtreme shut yur face:):):)

[pepermint26]

omg what a pretty song

I whish she 'll came in Greece sometime

[FantasyDessi]

one of my absolute favourites... such a wonderful song, such an amazing artist <3

[victoradame12]

if i was there i would yell i love you

[Christine181293]

AMAZING!!!

[BobbyM888]

love it ! =)

[icclepippa]

MY FAV!!!!!!

x x x

[jjboy90]

my fave

[xCeliien]

me 2

[mimzyps29]

The people at Regina Spektor concerts seem surprisingly quiet and easy-going. Usually concert videos are so loud you can't hear the actual singer.

[Marimbalu]

Well it's a good thing for a concert video, i guess :-)

[Jealkeja]

@mimzyps29 equally annoying though

[MariusSemeonOrtiz]

Cool, a song about CO, carbon monoxide. She should sing about how it is fatal as it joins on to haemoglobin, Hb, better than Oxygen does, therefore our blood doesnt carry enough oxygen and we can die. Furthermore to add to the danger, CO is a colourless odourless gas asnd so cannot be easily detected.

If she sung about this the song would be much better and kindda scientific and cool. Still alright song though, i really like Regina.

[TaylorWoodard]

Really have you listened to the lyrics? This song is great!

[DeborahMalogne]

3:53 whoa, man!

[Co1dnessCa1ms]

I know I seem really shallow, but I think the song could go without the nun-a nun-a nun-a nun-a bits... or, what I mean is, the lyrics can be presented a little differently. I just think it detracts from the song....

[peachtable966]

really? i love those... i think they make for good sing-along portions for the shows.

but to each his own.

:-)

[Cozzolino92]

At first I didn't like it aswell, but then I simply felt like it fixed with the song perfectly, I think that without those "nun-a bits", this song would not be "Carbon Monoxide".

[deetardeded]

lol I love 3:21 the face she makes then she smiles

LOL the daddy neeeeever fails to make me laugh hysterically.I keep listening to it and laughing. Oh boy.

BTW, Regina is BRILLIANT in this video. Ugh! love herrrr. can't stand it... seriously :( got tickets for her toronto show september 16th!! yay!! :]

[Cheggoo]

I love you Regina

[Chinhealer]

Regina is jaw-droppingly good. But it's the way she totally infuses her personality into her songs and performances that elevates her beyond the merely professional or enjoyable. She's an absolute treasure.

As for being annoyed at singalongs at concerts, sheesh! Ever considered that people could be so excited at watching a great artist live that they want to join in in the moment?! How many singers would want to perform to silent crowds that sing their lyrics to themselves in their own heads?

[jaxn]

true. people don't pay good money so they can stand at a concert, worrying about not ruining a youtubers watching experience.

[AnthonyMinsky]

@Chinhealer 'beyond just professional and enjoyable', great way to put it. She's an outright original. She's more like an experience.

[Reeeatch]

she sucks I'm sorry! really now?!?!

[albasa3]

oh my gosh... the nerve of some people

[hollywell59]

I Know I As Much as i love regina spektor I Would have totally hated being there

[MadmanAcrossTheWater]

what a coincidence cause nobody wants you there... or here.

[FantasyDessi]

what!?

[xXEmilyTaylorXx]

Oh wow. DDDDAAAAAAADDDDYYY! DADDY!

That actually made me laugh XD Didn't seem to bother her

[araitsanita]

LMAOOOOOO!!!!! WOW. the DADDY. wow.

[rsantos1989]

dam! that bitch that screamed out daddy sounded like she was screaming for her life

[deetardeded]

hahahahaha

DADDDDDYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

thats shit is jokes.

and the people singing along are SO OBNOXIOUS.

like, if you're going to go see regina spektor, enjoy her performance, let her do what she does, dont just sing along to prove you know all the words. we ALL know all the words, now stfu!!

[HawaiianTigerlily]

She does this version of John Lnnon's song "Real love" that is absolutely spectacular. I mean it gives me goosebumps and believe me, I am one tough customer.. I am sure John is smiling at her from above. She's got a beautiful magic about her.

[Zebula77]

Totally charming song. :)

[dgrant625]

lol at the person screaming DADDYYYYYYY

[nipperslarge]

This is the best song of all time.

[LeeluFairy]

haha sounds like u guys were having fun. I bought the album version of this and it wasnt half as good, i think the editing takes some edge of her voice :( .

[m1ke8000]

Daddy C´monnnnnn ! awesome as always =)

[cowinyourface]

CO2 is good for trees.

[davidworksonline]

@cowinyourface: CO2 is, but Carbonmonoxide is just CO. Deadly gas. ;)

[rsantos1989]

i got deadly gas right now

[brittly14]

hahaha

[rsantos1989]

please ignore that comment. Its quite embarassing now that I think about it. Idk why i even posted that.

[Jewlietta]

I've seen her twice, but it's been so long that I'm beginning to have withdrawals. She has such an amazing voice.

[gemmavarova]

looooove this song <33333 one of my faves from her. i wanna see her so badly :(

[syprnc]

love how the people were singing along...good audience!

[vegangirlx1]

[julianagodoy10]

EU AMO A REGINA SPEKTOR

[K9findM]

she has the most beautiful, soaring voice i have ever heard. her music is an inspiration.

[kitesflyhigher]

oh and by the way this was a really fun night and everyone was singing and regina was loving it, so yeah

and thank you for posting this jacks

[fuddyboi]

who are these tossers trying to sing along. completely ruined it

[kitesflyhigher]

LMAO, I AM TOTALLY ONE OF THOSE TOSSERS!!! But I was all the way in the back, so I don't know if I hear myself. I remember those bitches who kept screaming all night, though. Now they were the tossers.

Tossers.

[lightheworldonfire]

Totally disagree. A whole group of peeople singing alone to a great song. What's better?

[bloopideebloop]

what a great great great great song

[heartxcontusion]

I was there!!

[elschumann]

She reminds of Tori Amos so much! Two brilliant women for sure.

[900angryangel]

They both write such different lyrics and are quite edgy.

[WKCIV]

Why does the crowd always have to ruin it?

[hiddenNmuziclvr]

wow that voice is beautifull...if only i could sing like that.

[HCS0001]

hahahahahahahaha!!!!! :D That fool at 3:53 who screams out "DDDDAAAADDDDYYYY!!!" always cracks me up! ...this is a great sng, though- but that guy sure ruins it!

[kaiser362]

LOL!

[kaiser362]

LOL!

[gaduie]

ahahhaa!

[jarett26]

She looks amazing in this video, and she always sounds great regardless.

[forkosenrufu2000]

i think she is an amazing artist. Love her!

[svenkstjessica]

all the singing-along from the crowd takes away from the performance.

[lucky2xia]

shes playing instrumentssssssssssssssss

[Marina300677]

Клёвая тётка...)))

[crazybros090]

what

[Marina300677]

Талантливая девушка, вот...))))

[laughinsweetie]

I love her she is amazing! I love how she reacted to her fans with a positive smile even though it is agitating when people yell out. I do think that this was a great video but you did technically steal it in the sense it should be a buy a ticket or miss out thing. it is not fair to show it! For Regina's sake boo me if you want but it is true

[allyn627]

watching things like this actualy gives me a taste of the performer.. but never really satisfies..so it makes me wanna to see them...buy their cds, band tees, etc.

[technicolor444]

i agree -- makes me want ot know more!

[technicolor444]

i agree -- makes me want ot know more!

[Manlev90]

fully agree!

[ohjeezohmy]

I love how she sounds absolutely the same in concert as on her CDs.

So amazing in concert!!

[54spiritedwill54]

i lovee herr voicee !

[am35378]

My girlfriend hates when people yell and sing along, and so do I (I think regina does to, hence she is always changing the songs up). Lets try to keep it under the breath.

[Verence]

The whole audience sang along at the show I went to.

Regina didn't seem put off, she even encouraged it in parts.

She always smiles when the audience sings or laughs or has any sort of positive reaction.

It was the best musical experience I've ever had. :)

[Verence]

I posted before I'd seen the video all the way through.

Yeah, during that song there were people just yelling and hooting and being generally disruptive. :P

[am35378]

I understand when she encourages it, but when you have people yelling when its just her singing, its a bit bothersome and rude.

[Verence]

Yes, I agree. I hadn't heard the yelling before I posted.

I think singing along with Regina is great though, as long as it's relatively low-volume.

[mjolivanvideos]

IDOLAAA!!!!!!!

[meeplesquadge]

I <3 regina. saw her in london and was mesmerized.

[ILKINA]

Thank you so much for sharing this video!))

[jwaldhelm]

Nothing to say but, unbelievable.

[ColdMitts]

I saw her in seattle, it was amazing. Felt like i was hypnotized the whole time.

[mihesiarp]

You're my idol.

Love youuu.

amazing song.

Your singing sounds excellent here.

[bandaciclone]

She is fantastic!

And there are no diference in her voice live or recorded! Perfect!

[estheticoindeed]

she breaks my heart,

this girl -

i'm too old to have a crush on a rock star,

but, my god she's so enchanting.

happy new year.

[indymind89]

awesome voice

[icps86]

i'll mary her

[bovyj]

FUCK.

I love Regina Spektor!

[dgrant625]

ugh i dont mind singing but that person screaming 'DADDY' at the end was being over the top. it was toatlly unnecesary and ruined an almost perfect video.

[gsoccerstar70]

shes fantaqstic and she looks so hot in this video

[lu6el00]

common daddy, sounds like jewel, very well sung, full marks for this one. i like

[eternalsun4]

Nice song!!!

[Prometheus1st]

Can you imagine a better feeling than hearing people sing back to you the words of your music?

Besides, as it was shown from previous posts here, she is VERY able to take care of herself on stage when things get out of hand. She's a NEW YORK Grrrl after all, hehehe.

[Svenbotuser]

Sure Regina likes it, but other people in the audience don't. It is kind of annoying if you're not one of the people singing along. Still, I'm jealous of anyone who was there, I missed the last Regina Spektor concert I was supposed to go to :(

[Prometheus1st]

i don't think you guys get it. From what I've seen of MS. Spektor...she delights in the feedback and people singing along with her singing 'her' songs. I know if I Were an artist like her, I would feel the way we all feel when we hear her sing....when people sang along with me as I sang my music.

Lighten up and THINK before you judge/post negative comments. I know I need to take that advice too, but please....

[Prometheus1st]

[caraAtt]

I wonder sometimes if she changes bits of her songs live partly to throw off the people that insist on singing along...

[minervanatalie]

I've wondered that too. When I saw her in concert she would change parts of the song and sometimes she would pause afterwards and sorta giggle. I find it amusing.

[blueiiis88]

i lovee herr voicee !

[hoturtu87]

When I heard the title, I wasn't going to listen.I'm glad I clicked on this song.

[caritocatupe]

love this song!!!!!!

[amira365]

omg those idiots ruined the song! screaming and singing along that is so ignorant...

[pinksunz]

I know! We payed to hear regina sing, not the audience! We all know the lyrics and love the song....just have enough sense not to ruin the night!!!!

[NewJeru973]

Lol@the assholes interupting.

[5CR3WB411]

hmmm i get what you all mean, i did find the singing really really annoying but i dont blame them because this is such a sing-a-long song i know if i was there, i'd end up singing along too. the song is just that nice.

[RoboticLiam]

regardless of the people singing,

regina is beyond amazing.

[buster52]

this woman is hot! people singing along can be a pain- i remember an elton john show years ago, where i heard NOTHING that he sang. but overall, it's positive response from your audience, which is rarely a bad thing.

[Zeldreaisme]

Oh come on guys, singing along shows support- it's the yelling out the words that bothers me. Some singers are insulted when the people -don't- sing along.

[Killface9]

Un-afraid to take center stage with only a stage piano. Pretty good.

[bringeldoo]

='S

I love her so much!

[teaandcakeordeath]

aww i love all the people singing along. great, great performer/artist and absolutely loveable

[hannashepard]

She's so beautiful. I love how she's created her own style, but she tries others as well and she can still make them sound incredible.

[citrusacid7]

shes so cute i love her almost as much as lily allen!

[erikamae99]

shut up people who discriminates regina spektor!

[ArtichokeHeart9]

Heh, this audience isn't nearly as great as the audiences at Radiohead shows. Only a few were singing here, albeit loudly, but Radiohead's got waves of backup vocals, all in tune, in time, everyone knows all the words...these kids certainly weren't the best, but they weren't the worst by far.

[foofarrell86]

yea but at least you don't want to kill yourself after listenin to radiohead, grow up

[foofarrell86]

why bother comparing radiohead to regina spektor, as a good friend of mine said 'thats like saying, nice cake I think I'd prefer a holiday' grow the fuck up. either way regina spektor is better. and I could'nt give a shite whether your highly advanced musical tastes differ. the point being, if you think someone is better then another, dont go commenting on things like this to piss off the other artists fans

[fionaazreal]

The people singing are obnoxious. Nobody cares if they know the words, lol

[foamythesquirrelccc]

I agree! I hate it when people get all singy like that.  All it does is obstuct the singers voice and sometimes throw them off key. a-holes!

[ristau]

She's especial. Very.

[butimeantlove]

dude. just shut up. if you were regina and people were singing along with your songs, youd feel GOOD about it. so just shut the hell up k? k :]

[lovinsjustapasstime]

well considering the fact that concerts are for the actual crowd & not us youtube viewers that wish we were there, who cares if people were singing. what are they gonna do stop so that someone can take a video for our pleasure? nah, they paid for it.. besides..theyre having fun

[allthingsareme]

i love Regina Spektor i wish she would come to florida. that would kick ass. i would kill to go to her concert.

[zipzap722]

OMG O.O another Floridian that likes the same music as me! woah! anyways, me too!^^

[Donnerstag]

I'm in Boca ;x

[lemonlime114]

Some girl singing along sounds like a man EW Shut the fuck up

[thenerocomplex]

so how could you tell that she's a girl if she sounds like a man?

[lemonlime114]

ok smart ass it's obviously a girl with a manly voice, what ever it is it's ruining her sexy piano and singing skills

[MichelleLeah]

As mich as I would say that I'm annoyed to hear the crowd singing along with her, if I was there I would probably be singing along but not as aloud as these people here.

[eire15]

Sometimes it is amazing to hear a whole crowd sing a song, just check Queen when they sing Bohemian Rhapsody at Wembley... But here let's face it, they sing off key and they're ruining the song.

[littledumplingis]

she's amazing.

[wiebke135]

just awesome...her voice is amazing and with people singing in the background very cool!!

[fatelvira]

the people in the background RUIN IT!

yuck.
