regina spektor - The Floor Heard Everything (Live)

[morikahjo]

Bare feet might represent humility....actual repentance....

[gftnil]

Dumb

[Evangeline30575]

@gftnil Why?

[savannah631]

I think this is about everyone who goes to ask forgiveness in the church from the "father" and she's saying "yes" to her sins. And all the different people are coming in to ask for forgiveness.

[RespektMyBlueLips]

I'm A religious jew,and yom kippur, the day we fast to attone for our sins, is coming up. One of the prayers is "Father, forgive us" and this reminds me of that!! I kind of wonder, because shes jewish, if she knew that prayer....... Respekt!!

[maxchamullento]

Is this the personal channel of regina or it's just a sponsor's channel, u know like vevo?

[spektography]

@maxchamullento It's just a fan made channel by myself :) No affiliation.

[fortworthhomegirl]

@spektography Nice job!!

[BitterJaneCharacter]

I feel like the line "The floor's favorite feet are bare." may be referencing a church where all people come, but the poor (barefooted) are most cherished.

[TracyMime]

The meanest comment I've ever seen on a Regina song is that it's "weird." That really says something about her. She no haters!

[vegangirlx1]

@vegangirlx1 Deleted my first comment. I imagine going to confession..

[TranquilTruth]

I agree about the children running loudly.

But I also think it's more like a church, to me. Everyone goes to church, but the biggest way the floor has to differentiate them is the shoes they wear. The soldiers wear boots, the nurses wear heels, but there may also be the same tones of abuse in the church as others have implied with a literal father instead of the religious father.

[AnthonyMinsky]

Every time she sings 'hooves' I'm done. She kills me. And I love it. :)

[benmoody0220]

I think it's someone who was abused by their father (hence repetition of the word) and is contemplating forgiveness (again, repetition). Obviously, this person was (I assuming) struck so hard they hit the floor. (hence the floor heard everything.)

And when this 'abuse' happened, soldier arrived to stop the fight, civilians gathered and watched, nurses came to heal the wounded, and children were there because of their natural curiosity.

Doesn't quite explain 'floors favorite feet' line though.

[spinaziepasta]

@benmoody0220 maybe because the abuse happens at night, when the father comes to the childs room or something, on his bare feet?

[benmoody0220]

@spinaziepasta that would make a lot of sense.

[itsnicemeetingyou]

the piano intro is very similar to Fidelity

[DraconianCrackdown]

I think it is about a war, and how people fight for materialistic things. I get this idea when she says: the floors favourite feet are bare. but thats just what i think ;) LONG LIVE THE REGINA-SAURUS!

[mkristly]

I disagree djawad, take another listen.. this one's deeper than it seems (like so many of her songs).

[zunimano]

i think it sounds like a little girl bugging her father about all the people coming in an out of the house...?

[freaksunite5]

I don't think this song is particularly "eccentric" compared to some other songs of hers ("Belt" much?). And maybe the repetition of some of the words may mean something to her and the song that we don't pick up on. A common theme to Regina's stuff seems to be repetition of certain words. *shrugs*

[heyevie]

she's just having fun.

[9611CALL]

is it "hoops"... like hoola hoops?

[britchesiscool]

That's what I always assumed. Well, always since I found it hehe.

[XxwhoaitsmoexX]

aw i like this one(:

[Takarafire]

Wonderful as usual!!

[AnthonyMinsky]

Cool. Hope she rejuvenates this one on some future album

[KelliSings]

lol "hooves" implies little children are devils

[inklingsoflaura]

hmm i don't think so, i think it possibly implies that children run around loudly.

[DeborahMalogne]

It's "The children came in their hooves"

as if theyre animals or something

[kingmintaddict47]

The [???] in the lyrics sounds like "hooves" to me... which makes no sense. Then again, lots of ReSpekt makes no sense.
