regina spektor - Reading Time With Pickle (Songs)

Lyrics:

Walking home from work
Stop at the supermarket, condemement aisle
A jar of pickles catches the eye
Make eye contact with a solitary pickle
Bought the jar took it home

Made it up the stairs
Made it through the doorway, waded through the floor
Tried to head in the general direction of the bathroom door
The truest room in the whole damn house

Singin' love is the answer to a question
That I have forgotten
But I know I've been asked
And the answer has got to be love love love

Now Feeding time with TV
Then sleeping time, not sleepy
So reading time with pickle
But were the bed side lamp had been
Is now a milignant soft soft green

Has it always been this way?
Is it possible all this magic went unnoticed?
Maybe things will start to change
And life will turn a better page
No more rain

Singin' love is the answer
To a question i know I've been asked
And the answer has got to be love love love

Tomorrow back to work again
Run to the supermarket, running hopeful through the aisles
Haven't been this happy in a long time
But not a single jar was smiling afterall

But pickle jars are just pickle jars
And pickles are just pickles
Ingredients ... water, salt, cucumber, garlic and pickling spices

But love is the answer to a question
That I've forgotten
But I know I've been asked
And the answer has got to be love

[nxisxforxneurotic]

I mean seriously who else makes a song about a pickle so damn poignant?

[zunimano]

spektaculor.

that's what i'm naming the musical i'm making of all her songs.

[picalildickalil]

@zunimano now now, remember what regina said about sharing your ideas!

[savedsallow]

This song is so freaking beautiful, I can't even describe it. My interpretation is that it's about those moments when the world suddenly seems so magical and beautiful, and you try to hold onto that feeling but it slips away. And in the darker moments when you feel overwhelmed or sad and can't remember what it is you were trying to hold onto (the question). But she remembers the answer is love, no matter what.

@zunimano That is going to be one heck of a long musical.... But I definitely want to watch it.

[noxatracava]

@elebunny45 Hmm. The question may be everything. :) I wonder if Regina knows it... In my opinion question is just question mark- it's a huge understatement so everyone can comprehend it in their own way.

[BeatrijsBakker]

"Singin' love is the answer

To a question i know, I've been asked

And the answer has got to be love" that's maybe the most simply genius thing i've ever heard.
