Regina Spektor - Love Profusion (09-13-2005)

Regina Spektor singing a cover of Madonna's "Love Profusion" at the 2005 Jewish Heritage Festival in NYC.

This is one of Regina's few covers -- Listen closely at around 2:00 minutes in, funny play on words. :P
--

There are too many questions
There is not one solution
There is no resurrection
There is so much confusion
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love vibration
You make me feel
You make it shine

There are too many options
There is no consolation
I have lost my illusions
What I want is an explanation

And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love direction
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel

I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin

There is no comprehension
There is real isolation
There is so much destruction
What I want is a celebration

And I know I can feel bad
When I get in a bad mood
And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good

I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin

I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin

And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love intention
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel

I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin

And I know I can feel bad
When I get in a bad mood
And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good

Was she purpously saying it like "I got jew under my skin" to be funny?

[slicknick1986]

Yep. (She is Jewish herself by the way.)

[Greenvalds]

I got jew under my skin? How stupid is that?

But i love this cover if she where more serious.

[slicknick1986]

She is Jewish, and this was sung at the Jewish Heritage Festival. Just some fun is all and her own witty spin on it. As you can hear the crowd got a real kick out of it :D

One of the things I think this shows about Regina is how she can can both simultaneously lighthearted and amusing and moving/though-provoking in the same song. She does it in so many of her own songs and it is just an amazing talent...

[MelaniePortrip]

Is she saying, "I got Jew under my skin" at 2:08 and a few times after? It is the Jewish Festival in NYC and it would explain why the audience suddenly erupts in laughter at that point. I dont know for sure, but it certainly sounds like shes saying Jew at that particular part... Then again at 3:02 (and the audience laughs again)... Then switches back to "you."

[slicknick1986]

Yep, that's exactly what she does. :P

[DeborahMalogne]

man i really wish we could see whats happening at 0:45 when everyone laughs

[spawnshank]

You say she can't sing because she's actually singing. Her voice isn't covered by computer-generated pleasing sounds, so to you -- it may sound ridiculous, but not every singer has the perfect, smooth voice the pop stars today have. Thank you technology.

MALISIMO, REGINA JUBILATE

[Lilyfloss]

sometimes when I listen to her voice i can hear her smile...

[MrHappytimes73]

@Esgalduine Not even close, it is nice though.

[iluvchopsuey]

@Lilacuno Yes :) I'm glad you feel that way. I love how hopeful she makes me feel.

[Lilacuno]

@iluvchopsuey Definitely. This performance makes me feel like the world isn't such a scary place.

[ManoloYosoY]

Regina you're adorable, a great voice...!

[emanitudism]

Madonna sings it as 'I gotchu.... under my skin' so it's very close to 'got Jew' anyway. Madonna certainly doesn't come close to singing 'I've got you... under my skin'.

I like this version by Regina. I hadn't heard it, or of it, until now. I think it's an underrated song and I'm glad to find that it's been covered in such a non-electronic way. I really like the musical accompaniment.

[iluvchopsuey]

There's such a warm atmosphere in everything she sings.

[Esgalduine]

I think Regina's version is much better! Love her! :)
