[AddyTheAwesome]

[everybodypoops11]

Dear Regina,

[Lilyfloss]

[alicepotter777]

[smilyfacerockz]

[eff0ff]

@smilyfacerockz @alicepotter777 mindfuck

[izziemini]

1:22 hwk-pfffff!!!!



[ScarletDavies]

My sister doesnt like Regina and I honestly pity her because she is missing out on so much.

[LovesXpills]

I almost killed myself to this song. And her voice saved me. As sad as that sounds its true.

[IHateYouCauseYouSuck]

@LovesXpills -.-

[LovesXpills]

@IHateYouCauseYouSuck I knowwww. Totally emo. Sorry Bros.

[brokenboxy]

just do it

[LovesXpills]

@brokenboxy feelsgoodman.

[EllieRoseDavis]

@LovesXpills I wanna say something encouraging like I understand and I kind of do but I don't want to sound patronizing. Sorry.

[XxMuziqAddictxX]

i absolutely love this song <3 !

[amberachellesnively]

when i first started listening to this song, someone i knew had just died in a fire. he was very addicted to heroin. it was extremely appropriate.

[sammmwww]

she went to my school

[Rissy899]

there was this one lady in the bar and she was trying to buy gin and there was this other lady at the the bar she was trying to sell gin, worked out good for the boths of them...

[imbarehungry]

it makes me think of donnie darko.

[Kaorusan12]

@imbarehungry huh. me too.

[vikkit13]

The first time I listened to this song, I was on the city bus and super high.

It was always one of those songs that I would just skip right past and I never really gave it a chance.

But, I must say, when I finally did listen to it, it was the most pleasurable listening experience I have ever had!

REGINA FOR PRESIDENT! (L)

[bryannaish]

I love Regina Spektor~! her songs make no sense and there AWSOME! lol thumbs up if u agree! 

[melody408]

@bryannaish her songs do have meaning, >.>....

[Grappley]

Has anyone noticed that from 3:38 to 4:17 is basically Strangers in the Night by Frank Sinatra?

[melody408]

@Grappley no, it's referencing shakespeare's play,'The Temptest' -.-

[Grappley]

@melody408 I'm not saying anything the lyrics, the tune is pretty much the same.

[TheBlindPig1]

@melody408 what, No, is? No is a very common word, i dont think shakespeare attribute to it, you can. I know 0 took a long time to be invented.  but no must always have existed always! If no never existed, then how could YES, think about it!

[Mopita]

@spektorforever Heroin Boy must be a famous character in the prison. Person addicted to heroin probably. Daniel Cowman nows him and now hes going to die too , and he cant believe it and suffers because of this "I dont exist" he's senteced to death so hes not part of the world anymore. Thats preatty much it.

[TheToeBrand]

@Mopita I thought heroin boy was just a person of his imagination?

[Mopita]

@TheToeBrand Nope I think its a character of this story. This album is full of stories.

[All6usto]

For her own good, She should´ve being borne in 2567,

It´s a shame that our midia can´t handle such awesomeness properly.

[cynopt]

"So now that we got that straight, can't I just be left alone? I want to take a fucking bath."

Best final line to any song ever.

[smilyfacerockz]

my actual name is Daniel Cowman, seriusly once i just Googled my name and this song came up. i swear its true.

[Dwightsters]

THIS...RIGHT HERE... IS MY.... PRETTY. BOY. SWAG.

[gofilia]

strangers in the night with the most psycolyrics!! just brilliant!!!!!!!

[NikkNakk924]

it shouldnt have scared you.... its just saying everyone is destined to die in some way and you cant change it

[aknorris1996]

this song scareddd me sooo much, the man destined to ___ can never ___ part was soo freaky. but this song is interesting. i want to take a fucking a bath(:

[Astrapsody]

@aknorris1996 Haha, that was one of my favorite parts.

[spektorforever]

This songs reminds me of young love. At the beginning when Regina is "hyperventilating" because said Daniel Cowman doesn't exist anymore, she is absolutely devastated. Then, when she sings "And he started remembering and remembering and remembering and remembering," she sounds like a teenager that will be so upset with their lover one second and then the smallest deed can turn her mood around. She is just so adorable and brilliant.

[Mopita]

@spektorforever Actually, I dont think that is about that at all. Read the lyrics carefully. Daniel Cowman has a death sentence on prison, and he feels terrible about it. "doesnt mean that i can go do whatever i need" "the premature eyaculation of the death sentence..." etc.

[Mopita]

@spektorforever ...Then he remembers when he was sentenced and when HEROIN BOY was sentenced, he remembers when they sentenced him and how weird and impressive that was and now its his turn. "the heroin boy wlaked through the door And he was screaming And I was like 'why's you screaming like it's the end of the world? Well it is' Then Heroin Boy starts explaining why hes not gonna drown on the tub "a man destined to hang could never drown..." etc. The end line is said by Heroin Boy

[tomwellingishott]

I wish she would get more recognition, she is one of the best musicians of this generation

[spektorforever]

@tomwellingishott I know what you mean. But I feel childish because I almost don't want her to get more recognition because it's like I don't really want to share her. I feel special that she's like a singer for those that have the privilege of discovering her.

[drink2theliars]

im glad shes trimmed her eyebrows.

[PurpleLint]

A man destined to hang can never ever drown.

[cosmiccoolgirl]

"the premature ejaculation of his death sentence

hit Daniel in the face like a big round spitball (and Regina makes an actual spitting sound in her song lol)"

[Celllofan]

from 3:38. its great

[BethanyyBOOMM]

i think it's beautiful :)

[Krazziixt33n]

Can't I just be left alone? I want to take a fuckin' bath.

I love this song! It's like a man is sentenced to death row and he's watching life go on around him...

Regina is so talented.

[sultanamonkey]

I love this!

[suzywao]

I love how she swallows at one point in the song, and you can hear it, but she kept it in.

[odieburger12]

I love that part too, it's not the same without it :)

[arcadefire4life]

I LOVE the part when she's all like "And I was sitting in the corner with my pants down"

She just kills me, it makes me laugh every time.

[SundanceCrave]

I'm trying to buy gin.

[thechickennuggit]

@SundanceCrave I'm trying to sell gin.

[XPurple57X]

I love you regina.

[noxatracava]

She's the best musician, and totally the best songwriter ever! Shame for these who don't appreciate the fact that she creates another world in her songs, world just for these who want to listen...

[togetheras0ne]

@noxatracava Shame? does it matter? Other people's minds are "other worlds" too :)

[noxatracava]

@togetheras0ne I mean that we should accept all of the "other worlds"; appreciate everyone's imagination. :)

PS. Well, I can say I'm shocked because I completely forgot about words I've written 5 months ago, and I see they are a little bit too abrupt :p 

[HelloMelo22]

@noxatracava i couldn't have said it better myself. When i meet someone who actually listens to her, i seriously see them in like a whole other light. lol

[doloresmorgan]

su voz, su musica, 3;37...es lo mejor!!!

[kore3412]

im a guy and i <3 her music

[fillXinXblankXstares]

Amazing. I love how it's a story.

[orbital151]

This is my favorite song.

[Emeralds31]

I love this song, it really just cracks me up. "Why you screamin as if it's the end of the world?" and he's like, "Well it is." Haha.

[annehathawayfan]

that's my favorite part. I ALWAYS quote that to my mom, "Why you screamin like it's the end of the world? and he said Well it IS!" (: HAHAHA love it.

[Lemonycrab]

@Emeralds31

My favourite part is when she's like "and there was this one lady at the bar and she was trying to buy gin and this other lady at the bar and she was tryin to sell gin and it worked out good for the boths of them"

[frenchinsaneguy]

@Lemonycrab

This line is actually very funny when you know that one of the most famous Gin brand in called "Old Lady's Gin".

I found at while buying liquor for a party two months ago. I freaked out in the shop and was like "OMG SHE'S SO FUCKING SMART!".

[frenchinsaneguy]

@frenchinsaneguy out*

[Lemonycrab]

@frenchinsaneguy

oh, I didn't know that either. you're right, that does make it even better ahah!

[avataraera]

You can REALLY hear her New York accent in this song.

[AlphabetSoupCircus]

I think it's just a bit exaggerated, haha.

[jaymotkdful]

when she says i dont exist it kinda sounds like she's saying die dont exist

[Takarafire]

AH!! Thank you for uploading this! finally!!! <3

One of my favorite by her.

[arcadefire4life]

This song is simply beautiful and tragic. I absolutely love how inside the CD artwork how it describes the album as "being let in on a little secret." This is definitely a winter album. LOVE it to death.

[Killarkweenieface]

exerent

[noxatracava]

Yeah! Finally! Thank you, thank you for this song, I almost believed that I will never hear it again :)
