regina spektor - Baobabs (Begin To Hope/Bonus Track)

Lyrics:

You have tamed me
Now you must take me
How am I supposed to be
I don't have my thorns now
I feel them sprouting
They'll grow right though if I don't watch it
They'll grow right through even if I watch it
And a sunset couldn't save me now

These baobabs and baobabs and baobabs some more
But you can't outwait fate

And you have tamed me
Now you must take me...
taa-tt-ttaa-ttt-taa-tt-taake

And I wouldn't raise my child inside this city anyway
They grow up too savvy and they grow up too fast
And they know about buying shit and they know about sex
And they know about investment banking and also about brokerage firms
And they know about the numbers and they know about the words
And they know about the bottom line and also about stones
And they know about careers and about the real deals
And they all grow up and become people's people with people skills

But you have tamed me
Now you must take me
How am I supposed to be
I don't have my thorns now

But you have tamed me
Now you must take me
How am I supposed to be
I don't have my thorns

[Tangerine08]

LoL I was like "Baobabs? Tamed? LITTLE PRINCE!"

[banabinii]

Regina Spektor's use of allusions is purely genius. This is one of my favorite songs, mainly because the book The Little Prince was also cute.

[mimicat77]

she is the most spectacular thing in the whole entire universe. and this is such a beautiful song <3

[two2birds]

I started reading the Little Prince because of this song. Just halfway through the book I was able to catch most of the references. That put a smile on my face.

[LaverlyLove]

Oh my god... this is gorgeous<3

[plsjesus]

le petit prince!

[darcon81]

Anything that is crushed, pure and fermented; anything made from an open fire of angst, sadness, bitterness and despair; anything made from fresh wounds, from real cuts and bruises, and peremptory ailments of heart and soul; anything rotten and decaying and honest; anything woven and sewn with tears and sweat and blood; any severed wood deformed and tempered by time, wind and ill-weather; any form or shape made from all of these is and must be immortal.

[taliasaurusrexrawr]

my favorite book and my favorite singer. this is the best song ever

[TheRantsOfABookWorm]

love The Little Prince!

[cousinsara]

Before I even listened to it, the second I saw baobab I knew it was the little prince and I nearly fainted

[Lilyfloss]

tho-O-o-o-orns.. i love that. her voice sounds so weirdly loveable in that part

[uncharted185]

Has the sheep eaten the flower, or not?"
