Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope [Song] (04-01-2005)

Regina Spektor singing "Begin to Hope," a beautiful song of hers which curiously enough does not appear on her album that bears the same name and has yet to be studio recorded.


--
Begin to hope and all the colors start to change beneath the light
You might forget that the world's so sad
You might forget that things are awful bad
And it's alright
If you eat all the apples from the knowledge tree bowl
The fact that they're plastic shouldn't deter you at all
Just grab your sharpie and write your message on the wall
Yeah, I was here
I was here

We know that our whole world is all around us all the time
And still we might
Forget
To stand up straight
We might forget that we should never wait
And it's alright
If we don't let the others make the last calls
The fact that they own us shouldn't deter us at all
Just grab your sharpie and write your message on the wall
Yeah, I was here
I was here
Uh-huh, I was here!
I was here!

I was here
But now i've gone
To take a walk
And I won't be back
Until you know my name
'Cause none of us are the same thing

Begin to hope
Begin to hope, begin to hope, begin to hoooope
Begin to hooo-oh-ope
And it's alright
If you eat all the apples from the knowledge tree bowl
The fact that they're plastic shouldn't deter us at all
I grabbed my sharpie and wrote my message on the wall
Regina was here
Regina was here
Uh-huh, Regina was here, Regina was here!

I was here
But now I've gone
To take a walk
And I won't be back
'Cause its a lovely day
And none of us know how long we've got to stay

Begin to hope
Begin to hope
And all the colors start to change
Begin to hope
And all the
Light begin to change
Begin to light and all
The hope begins to start
To change the light
Begin to light
And all the hope begins to
Light to change begin
Beneath
The light begins to
Change and all the
Light
Begins
To hope
Colors
Start
Begin
To hope

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.

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...

[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!

[fillXinXblankXstares]

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

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'

@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. ^^'
