    I used to think that there were some things that were intrinsically better than others - you'd think that Mozart is better than Crazy Frog, for example. But I realized there's no real reason to think this, because after all who is anyone to say they're an authority on enjoyment? At the end of the day, no matter if it's through appreciating the harmonic and rhythmic complexities of a song through repeated listens or just liking a tune, we all enjoy music.

  • @alexmckalexmck I absolutly agree. One thing for sure is that Crazy Frog wont encourage an ipiphony. On the other hand Regina Spektor's music is more like therapy.

  • I like her ! :)

  • Like if 500 Days Of Summer brought you here! (:

  • I think she is beautiful and stunning and her music is different and unique!

  • bailey b!

  • I just found out that Rolling Stone gave this album a 3 out of 5.

    How in god's name is this not one of the most beautiful songs you've heard?!?

  • @jeeshwa123 strictly speaking this could very well be one of the most beautiful songs the reviewers at Rolling Stone heard. in fact, it could be the single most beautiful thing to have ever been felt by their ears, but they rated the /album,/ /not the song./

  • @aceandalsostuff the album's amazing! I've spent a long time listening only to "Us", because I didn't want to find out that it was her only good song and be really dissapointed. But then I looked up every song on this album, and I'm already kicking myself for not owning it already. It's a shear masterpiece!

    Plus, music is art. Unless there's something WRONG with the album, wrong as in like, boring songs/terrible pacing, etc....how can you say it's bad? Music is subjective.

  • @jeeshwa123 Of course it's subjective, but people still rate music because there are things that tend to subjectively appeal to more people than others. Despite the fact that the end result is art, ultimately there will be things that are better made than others, and they deserve to be called for that.

    Anyway, all I was saying was that what you were saying isn't related to this song at all. But because it's subjective, you thinking it sounds pleasant doesn't mean music critics will like it.

  • @aceandalsostuff

    Who cares what the critics say? Music critics are just wannabe musicians who didn't have enough talent to make it as musicians so they became critics instead.

  • @Mystylplx I didn't say anyone cares about what the critics say. I was just having a discussion with a person.

  • @aceandalsostuff

    I didn't say you did. I was just joining the conversation. This is a public forum, after all.

  • @aceandalsostuff 'Most art tends to subjectively appeal to more people than others.' That's a good way of putting it.

    Although really and truly, art is 100% subjective, no qualifications at all. Out of seven billion people if even one thinks something is art, how can they be proven wrong?

  • 100 days of summer :D

  • @appleglory i think mean 500 days of summer, lol.

  • anyone see the similarity between 'vagina inspector' and gaga?

  • @portsmouthfc23 I see no similarities.

  • @portsmouthfc23 you're from portsmouth so you have no moral right to insult anybody. get back in your scummy town.

  • @portsmouthfc23

    There are not similarities! Not in fashion, music style nor video!

  • @4evaFranyFran Awesome.

  • @Manopoly12 nice one sterotyping your own race

  • @keza121 Stereotyping my own race, how? because I asked was I the only black male who loves Regina Spektor? If I'm stereotyping that all black males listens to the talented Regina Spektor (Which I dint) then that beats all our other stereotypes any day. now bitch let everyone enjoy the music okay,Love you.( =

  • @Manopoly12 fool.

  • @keza121 Why do you rely on petty insults when all I did was correct your misunderstanding? oh well, your a faceless stranger to me so your rude words have no Impact on my emotions.fell free to stop messaging me when ever you want.

  • @Manopoly12 Dude, you are not the only one.It would be nice, and refreshing,  if you think broadly before you make statements that has complex connotations like that though.

  • @gagaofishaga Reread my comment and you'll see that I said ''Am I the only one'' not ''I am the only one'' It was a question not a statement. do you understand now?

  • Ms. Spektor has much to be grateful for she is very talented.

  • This video reminds me of Mary Poppins more than 500 days of summer.

  • The first time I heard this I was sure it was "now Forrest Gump can stare at us" instead of "tourists come and stare at us"...

  • drugs for the ears...

  • My girlfriend brought me here

    and here we stayed and sat and listened

    now i come here pretty often and remember us listening to this in math class and can't wait until we do again.

  • love the instruments :))

  • when she says "it's contagious", i'm assuming she means the song X)

  • good

  • Comment removed

  • every time i listen to this i almost start crying ITS SO GOOD TuT

  • 500 Days of Summer <3

  • I love when she does with her voice when she says "contagious". Even though the entire song is just beautiful.

  • Regina is all flirty!

  • This song makes me go all jerky!!!

  • regina.. please cheer me up with your songs. Too many people are misunderstanding me today. I'm not being emo, i'm just annoyed today. I just want to be able to express a little freely... T_T

  • To think if not for boardwalk empire, I might have missed out on such a talent. Incredible talent!!

  • Tried to cover this the other day.. surprisingly hard to work out with just a backing track! It's on my channel - let me know just how bad you reckon it is?!

  • this song has awesome lyrics (:

  • rummaging for answers in the pages

  • this song made a great guard show :)

  • She's writing music for a new musical 'Beauty' based around 'Sleeping Beauty'. It's going to sound beautiful.

  • I LOVED THE MOVIE "500 DAYS OF SUMMER"!

  • I love this song!!!

  • Please check out my channel it would mean the world to me :D!!!!!!!

  • 500 Days of summer has the BEST music selection ever. That's how I found out about Regigna Spektor.

  • shiiiit. i heard about this from "Anthropology of YouTube" way back in the day. 

  • Never knew this song until Janet Devlin and 500 Days Of Summer came along!

  • And It's Contagious :D

  • пидосы)))))

    

  • @Usinsk516

    it spells пиHдосы

  • Both this song and 500 Days OF Summer were inspiring and beautiful. Though the movie felt so much nicer with this song in it, I think it's also perfect on it's own.

    The violin and piano sound so beautiful together as well<3

  • Comment removed

  • as good as 500 days of summer

  • I love her tights! haha. :)

    The song is good too of course. ;)

  • another addition of the infamous 4 chord song.

  • She's a real artist!

  • LOL. I totally only just realized that she comes in through the window in the beginning of the video. XD

  • Went to see Regina in 09 at the Apollo in Manchester - so, so good.

    Also, I just did my cover on my channel. It's awful in comparison, but check it out if you have a spare 3 minutes and 7 seconds :) x

  • Dammit, i wanted to be the 500 millionth viewing. Only missed it by 30 or so thousands

  • Great song! and not becouse "(500) Days of summer" :P!

  • @SuperEynav Although that is an AMAZING film :p

  • @SuperEynav also *because

  • happy happy happy 

  • where do i know this song from?

  • @DJsnoep 500 Days Of Summer?

  • 500 days of summer!!

  • Beautiful music, AWful singing

  • @TranceAnton This isn't awful singing at all, it just isn't like other singers, it's unique, that's what makes her great.

  • @Stevenbrandon55 Bjork is Unique, shes amazing. Feist is Unique, shes amazing. Fiona Apple is Unique, shes Amazing.

  • @TranceAnton It's called not singing like American Idol cookie-cutout singers. If more people did this maybe our music wouldn't suck so much.

  • moulto bon 

  • I absolutely love this song.

  • I wish I looked and sang like her.

  • @EMM98AJP I wish you'd look and sound like you. Admiring someone is awesome, but wishing to be exactly like them is kind of detrimental for artistic and personal growth...

  • This music video is really cool and creative.

  • maddy brought me here!

  • i really don't get this music :S

  • @Igottafeelingism Do you mean you don't get Regina's music or this music genre in general?

  • @pomoapple I don't get this music but especialy not Regina's ? :S

  • @Igottafeelingism Lol I understand,this kind if music isn't for everyone.Well I hope you find the kind of songs you like in other parts of Youtube. 。◕‿◕。

  • lovely :)

  • real. music.

  • she has beautiful lips, and eyes, and voice

  • I LOVE HEEEEEEER

  • Sorry to say to the videographer: This song is so much better than the erratic jekiness of the stop-motion effect of the strobe-like video. Spektor's voice is like her piano playing-- sure, solid, smooth, and seductive. But never shy.

  • @MattGues But that juxtaposition makes you notice her vocal quality all the more. Plus the stop-shoot is incredible impressive in this video. And the video accentuates her physical qualities so you're just left memorized by her beauty/beautiful voice. This video is the complete package, in my opinion.

  • She's so freaking cute.

  • i heard this is 500 days of summer and i automatically knew who it was, by her voice..

  • The brain behind this vid is a genius!

  • now i have to look for donnk's comment

  • Whats good about artists like Spektor is she writes her own songs, Very few singers or bands make it on material they create independently anymore.....

  • Wait... what movie is this from??? I swear I've heard it somewhere...

  • @katemley 500 days of summer.

  • i know this sound weird but i love her lips! so jealous...

  • @chwp96 weird, thought same
