I personally think russian is the most beautiful language in all the world and love russia as a whole, for some reason most of my american friends don't? weird ;), and I could listen to that bridge alllll day!!!
Good lord, Regina, you are so rare! I can't comprehend why you aren't bloody famous! Your brilliant and so naturally talented, no need fir autotune, xoxo
gosh russian part is smth that makes this song even way stronger. well mostly cuz i'm russian but also.. those words are so penetrating. and her russian is perfect for sure
i cry when i listen to this. too bad that non-speaking russian people can't understand epicness and touching lyrics of this song. sorry for bad eng either.
Probably her best live performance ever. One awesome artist with a piano and no BS. Certainly the best version of this song. The studio version doesn't compare.
They way she speaks, just her way with words and the fluid language she weaves is so beautiful, she almost makes love to the microphone. It's such an astounding thing to witness.
Not only is Regina Spektor inspiring, but inspiring is Regina Spektor. She is simply gorgeous. Please watch me attempting at trying to capture a little of her essence on my channel. Thank you(:
This performance is simply amazing....It takes my breath away everytime I watch it, which is like, 20 times a day. Regina Spektor is amazingly talented, she has the most beautiful voice, she is absolutely beautiful. I love her music, it is individual, it speaks a poem (literally), it is simply outstanding. Bravo! :)
ох, когда начинаются стихи Пастернака, всякий раз мурашки по коже начинают идти. Первый раз когда услышала это выступление, казалось, что не понравился стиль исполнения, но забыть не удалось... очень самобытно
first time i seen her sing this, well on youtube, all i can recall from the back of my head was, (to myself in my head)"Dude, you still there,are you watching this?SHHH!shh shh," blank.....paralyzed.....amazed, in awe. (to myself again) "what a beautiful...what ever the heck i just experienced , guess a combo of genius and beauty of such human." truly love her and her hypnosis....
This was the first song of Regina's that I ever heard. Hard to think that I could have gone nearly twenty years without stumbling across such an amazing, beautiful, talented artist. But yeah, I heard this song and promptly scoured the internet for every other song I could find by her. I love her to the depths of my soul.
I love the personality in her voice, and getting 3 languages into it, and on top of it pulling off the odd noise in the beginning makes this song epic <3
All I can think of when I hear her voice are those Apple commercials that used that one song. This is why artists should never sell their music. It's WAY to distracting to listen to them after you see them flogging ipods.
@Krumpenstein A Regina Spektor song has never been used in an apple commercial has it? Feist has with 1234, and Yael Naim had New Soul on the MacBook Air commercial. Both of those artists are somewhat similar to Regina, so you may be confusing them... but of course, no one is quite as amazing as Regina.
@wasae335 i watched yael names commercial, i mean qith her song..yeah they are kinda similar..but both of them are uniqe..they both has their own way to make us love them :)
I wish I could meet her and tell how awesome it feels to have someone Russian out there defying the stereotype that people view us with. I cannot thank her enough :') Apres moi, le deluge!
btw after the russian part when she sings the verse again "You can't break that which isn't yours" she combined two pronouns - russian "твое" and english "yours" which are interpretations.
look yourself she do it all the time on all these "Apres moi" videos xD
What does she say right after "Après moi" ?? Because I know the song is in English/Russian, but "après moi" is French, and I don't get what she said right after, Idk what language it is.
Completamente de acuerdo con @pablogaray45 es la única vez que he visto como 5000+ personas quedan con la boca abierta mientras interpretó tamaña obra de arte, en realidad esa canción pagó mi entrada, por la cresta que estoy feliz, viva chile!! viva regina!!
I adore just about everything about this woman- her voice is amazing, her playing exquisite, and to top it off, the gratitude in her smile when the fans scream for her.
what i find incredible is that when she sings, she is so involved that her eyes have a million expressions through it. at the end, when the applause begins, she has this shy smile and then this huge grin and is like this kid all over again. it's quite magical.
I hate when somebody starts talking politics on youtube just becuse someone on the vid belongs to this or that ethnicity, which somebody likes and somebody doesn't. Guys, that's not polite, calm downm please, and better listen to the song. It's marvellous, BTW
I'm not quite sure there's a better live song in this whole world then this one. I'm probably wrong, but I can't think of one right now. Oh wait. 'I'm Down' by The Beatles at Shea stadium. Something by the Beatles is almost the only thing to compare to this. And Regina might actually win. That's stuff she does at 2:55+ is non-commentable.
I love her so much. I imagine her music as the music of the most artistic people listen to as they work, its so creative and powerful. Everytime i sit down to draw i listen to her and a beautiful energy flows through my wrists and gives me the feeling I'm drawing something beautiful. She's so gorgeous, too. She's not one of those artist who when you watch them live it makes you want to go on a diet or go running or something. She makes me feel so comfortable in my skin
@Shmoofles i know right?! when i listen to her i can see what i'm writing in my head and for some reason my wording gets more creative. i want to hav that affect on people some day!
@bananatree94 She's not Russian-American. She's Russian-Jewish. Her parents are Jewish that lived in Russia and Regina was born in Moscow. She moved to New York when she was a teenager.
@MayasaurusRex "Jewish" is not a nationality, it is a religion. So Regina is a Russian-American who is a Jew. Likewise Muhammed Ali (Cassius Clay) is an American who is (or became) Muslim, and Jim Morrison is an American with Irish and Scottish decent who is Christian.
People should stop mixing religion and nationalities, if you don't know why then please do not start a hollow conversation.
@iska9 Most Jews see ourselves as a distinct nationality and culture. It's just that the Jewish people are the only practitioners of the Jewish faith. And a Russian Jew in particular would see herself as distinct due to the nature of Soviet ethnology (on Soviet internal passports, you had to label your ethnicity, and Jews and Russians were distinct and un-hyphenate-able). Only German Jews tended to see themselves as German first, Jewish second.
@iska9 Oh, OK, you're defining nationality as a nation (ethnic group) with a state. That's what I meant when I said nation - an ethnic group/culture. You mean "citizenship."
Jews see ourselves as a "nation" in the sense of an ethnic group, going back to the Torah. Christianity and Islam are non-ethnic religions. You can be any ethnic group and be a Christian or a Muslim or a Buddhist. But the line between Jewishness and Judaism is very fuzzy. For example, there are secular/atheist Jews.
@Alephvoid that means I was right about Regina being Russian-American.
You are arguing semantics there, every religion has got few ethnic "sub-religions" in it, like Korean Christians in the US, they are Koreans who practice Christianity in their own way.
Ethnic religions are bound to a geographical place, seeing how Judaism is world wide spread I wouldn't call it ethnic, some scholars may debate pro or contra this argument though, and that's another reason why one shouldn't mix those two.
@iska9 Like I said, you meant nationality as in citizen of a state, and I meant it in terms of ethnicity. We are both, in fact, arguing semantics.
I don't understand why you think ethnic religions have to be geographically bound - the Roma's religion certainly isn't. You also seem to dislike the idea of ethnic self-determination. I mean, if a Kurd moved from Iraq to America, would you insist that she called herself an Iraqi-American instead of a Kurdish-American?
@Alephvoid you don't know what you are talking about do you?
Kurds are not only from Iraq, they live in Iran Turkey and Syria too, they don't have a state, so a Kurd from Iraq in America is Iraqi-American, and a Kurd from Syria is Syrian.
FYI Kurds practice few religions, some of them are Jews, so what would you call a Jewish Kurd from Iran?
That's why I said please do not start a hollow conversation if you do not know some essential facts.
@iska9 What? I used Kurds as an example because they're in a similar situation to Jews - in a diaspora, and they're even worse off because Kurds don't have a state (like Israel). It's a hypothetical question, calm down. Though you did answer it, showing that you put citizenship of a nation over ethnic self-determination when identifying people. That's all I wanted to know. We're looking at identity politics from two different angles.
@Alephvoid I really didn't want to continue the discussion, but wanted to point this out, Israel is not pure Jewish, although it strives to be so.
And again, there are Muslim, Jewish and Christian Kurds, so if you call them an ethnic group it is not based on their religion but on other historical and geographical factors.
Besides, I don't think that dividing the world even further is a good idea, everyone should live in his country peacefully without that "ethnic self-determination"
i love how the album version is so true to how she actually sings. with so many mainstream pop singers, their live versions are different--high notes are skipped, etc. but regina is pure talent. she doesn't need any studio boosting. she's heavenly just by herself.
awsome video guys

People should stop mixing religion and nationalities, if you don't know why then please do not start a hollow conversation.
Just my 2 cents here :)

@iska9 Most Jews see ourselves as a distinct nationality and culture. It's just that the Jewish people are the only practitioners of the Jewish faith. And a Russian Jew in particular would see herself as distinct due to the nature of Soviet ethnology (on Soviet internal passports, you had to label your ethnicity, and Jews and Russians were distinct and un-hyphenate-able). Only German Jews tended to see themselves as German first, Jewish second.

@Alephvoid you are mixing those two, religions and nationalities.
you want to tell me that if I convert to Judaism, I will get a new Passport ?
you want to say that Christians are not the only practitioners of Christianity, and Muslims are not the only practitioners of Islam ?
Distinct culture for sure, but then again it is not a nationality.
Here is a question for you: if somebody asked you where you were from, what would your answer be if you were a Jew ?

@iska9 Oh, OK, you're defining nationality as a nation (ethnic group) with a state. That's what I meant when I said nation - an ethnic group/culture. You mean "citizenship."
Jews see ourselves as a "nation" in the sense of an ethnic group, going back to the Torah. Christianity and Islam are non-ethnic religions. You can be any ethnic group and be a Christian or a Muslim or a Buddhist. But the line between Jewishness and Judaism is very fuzzy. For example, there are secular/atheist Jews.

@Alephvoid that means I was right about Regina being Russian-American.
You are arguing semantics there, every religion has got few ethnic "sub-religions" in it, like Korean Christians in the US, they are Koreans who practice Christianity in their own way.
Ethnic religions are bound to a geographical place, seeing how Judaism is world wide spread I wouldn't call it ethnic, some scholars may debate pro or contra this argument though, and that's another reason why one shouldn't mix those two.

@iska9 Like I said, you meant nationality as in citizen of a state, and I meant it in terms of ethnicity. We are both, in fact, arguing semantics.
I don't understand why you think ethnic religions have to be geographically bound - the Roma's religion certainly isn't. You also seem to dislike the idea of ethnic self-determination. I mean, if a Kurd moved from Iraq to America, would you insist that she called herself an Iraqi-American instead of a Kurdish-American?

@Alephvoid you don't know what you are talking about do you?
Kurds are not only from Iraq, they live in Iran Turkey and Syria too, they don't have a state, so a Kurd from Iraq in America is Iraqi-American, and a Kurd from Syria is Syrian.
FYI Kurds practice few religions, some of them are Jews, so what would you call a Jewish Kurd from Iran?
That's why I said please do not start a hollow conversation if you do not know some essential facts.
The song is amazing btw.

@iska9 What? I used Kurds as an example because they're in a similar situation to Jews - in a diaspora, and they're even worse off because Kurds don't have a state (like Israel). It's a hypothetical question, calm down. Though you did answer it, showing that you put citizenship of a nation over ethnic self-determination when identifying people. That's all I wanted to know. We're looking at identity politics from two different angles.

@Alephvoid I really didn't want to continue the discussion, but wanted to point this out, Israel is not pure Jewish, although it strives to be so.
And again, there are Muslim, Jewish and Christian Kurds, so if you call them an ethnic group it is not based on their religion but on other historical and geographical factors.
Besides, I don't think that dividing the world even further is a good idea, everyone should live in his country peacefully without that "ethnic self-determination"

i love how the album version is so true to how she actually sings. with so many mainstream pop singers, their live versions are different--high notes are skipped, etc. but regina is pure talent. she doesn't need any studio boosting. she's heavenly just by herself.
