[Lilyfloss]

oh my god. i just realised this might be my favourite song of hers

[Lilyfloss]

all the colors start to light beneath the begin to hodspjigfrfiga <3

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

The note she hits at 2:15 reminds me of Sia Furler.

Beautiful song with a beautiful message. Go out there and make a difference in this world.

[ak123456p]

this song is so beautiful.

[hpfan821]

This is a beautiful song! I love the way she sings the line about the apples and the knowledge tree. I hope she records a studio version!! At the beginning it sounds a little like 'Man of a Thousand Faces'

[fillXinXblankXstares]

Thank you for gracing the world with your music, Regina. Seriously.

[anchormatthew]

where did you you get thiss???(:

[slicknick1986]

@anchormatthew Check the RespektOnline fan site for downloads of any of her live performances or the numerous "studio demos" and "unreleased" tracks.

[SponsoredbyDuffBeer]

..amazing...

[TheSkyInOurHearts]

The piano at the very beginning really, really sounds like Man of a Thousand Faces. But I love that song. So it's all good!

[AnthonyMinsky]

Yeah only some of the piano work sounds like it. Nothing else though.

[cherryontop247]

such an amazing song its a wonder why this isnt on her album i love it so much

[Cutiestef124]

i love "I was here

But now i've gone

To take a walk

And I won't be back

Until you know my name"

its amazing :D

[renethel]

It sounds familiar to her other song "Man of a Thousand Faces", which is on her latest album 'Far'.

[Laneh]

It really really does :O

[annehathawayfan]

I agree.

[cucumbermelon19]

i thought it was "man of a thousand faces" before she started singing.

[Martina4444]

My fav. song is still On the radio, but this one is very close!!!!

[SSthemagicviolin]

I don't know why but it makes me sad and feel l like crying. But thanks anyway

[MuSiCbOx37]

lol yes it is the best!!!! :D

[petitefleur24601]

The curious case of regina spektor- she writes this song but doesnt put it on her album (which i love btw) it would have been a brilliant addition!! Cant wait for the new album!! WHY IS SHE NOT MORE FAMOUS??????!! lovelovelove............

[outerlimits007]

this is supposed to be on her next album 'Far' coming out in june 30

[MuSiCbOx37]

thanks :) i cant wait :D

[lexiandmadi]

that was never confirmed..

[pikulzii]

Yeah, it's not on the confirmed track list. :/

[outerlimits007]

oops sorry commented on the wrong song... still new album is still great without this song

[MuSiCbOx37]

begin to hope is the best song in the world and i love it cuz its so true!!!!

[EmotionMonger]

i donno about that whole sharpie thing, where did you hear that? when we asked her why it wasn't on the album after a show she said she didn't really remember it, she wasn't sure if she knew it anymore.

[JosephCa64]

Couldn't be the Sharpie thing. That would just require getting permission. Corporations never balk at free publicity.

[RamonJulian]

it wasn't in her album because "sharpie" is copyright

[SuperFuturama]

My god!

[litenogsot]

Is it true that she only performed this song once?

I wonder why she didn't take it any further...

It's really amazing.

[benmoody0220]

No, I have a recording of it from 2005-03-30. So it was performed at least twice...if you're wondering, the quality of this song is better than the one I have...so...I'mma steal it.

[spiderweaver2]

Yaaay, new favorite Regina song!

[Fringy14]

I was here, yeah I was hear.

I'm gonna start carrying myself a sharpie :)

LONG LOVE REGINA!!!

[carolin988]

I hope she comes to argentina one day,I really do

[po24]

Yo también, un show en el Gran Rex o algo así no le vendria mal!

[carolin988]

Sii!ojala,estaria buenisimo,pero no creo falte poco para que venga:(

[CatsAndRabbits]

Why does everything Regina writes sound like God Himself composed it?

[raffadizzle]

can you message me with the mp3 so i can download it?????

[NoNameXavier]

I was here

[hannahcran]

yeah it would be great if this was on her next album but... if we all got our wishes her next album would be like a 25 disc set... which we would all so buy!

[HFLAbob]

ahh yes.

[rickypaulgriffin]

I discovered her in november 2006.

i love regina!

:)

[AnthonyMinsky]

I'm semi new to Regina so if someone could help me. I didn't realize she had a song with the same title as her new album, but I do know that this song is not on the album. Any story behind this. Or is it just a cool thing to just appreciate :)

[slicknick1986]

Yeah, I think the name of the album was just taken from this song. It'd be awesome if this song was being recorded for her next album...

[cheifdanceswithgravy]

She's so smart.. I adore this song. Regina=love.

[Nnuku72]

For a moment, it sounded like the beginning of MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES.

Thanks Slicknick!

[slicknick1986]

No problem!

Yeah, I believe this song and Man of a Thousand Faces share the same chords but different melodies (she does that with a number of her other songs too.)

[Nnuku72]

How long have you been listening to her? I just discovered her on Sirius over a year ago...

[slicknick1986]

Yeah about the same here, in January 2007. I heard On the Radio before I knew who she was and couldn't stop listening to it. Now I can't stop listening to -any- of her songs, haha. :P

[snowfishe]

@slicknick1986 er...I know this comment is 2 years old but I'm excited because your story is exactly the same as mine :D It just happened to me a little later.

Sometimes I wish I had memory loss so I could hear all her songs for the first time again.

...I think I have issues. ^^'

[jasimotx]

Great song. REALLY hope it's on her next album.
