Fabulist: And it breaks my heart - Regina Spektor 'Fidelity' (video)
I like it. and the colors at the end. powder on hands, everywhere, and smiling.

I never loved nobody fully And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds I hear in my mind
All of these voices I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart And it breaks my heart And it breaks my heart

Suppose I never, ever met you Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never, ever saw you Suppose you never, ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall Just to break my fall Just to break my fall

NPR : Stories in Song: Regina Spektor's 'Begin to Hope' (All Things Considered, June 28, 2006) On her new release, Begin to Hope, singer, songwriter and pianist Regina Spektor sings in her native Russian for the first time. 'It feels very good to sing in Russian,' the 26-year-old says. 'It feels so good inside my body.'
born 1980. A Russian Jew, Spektor and her family fled the anti-Semitism of the Soviet Union and emigrated to the Bronx when she was 9 years old. Spektor recalls how difficult it was to leave behind the family piano, which she began playing when she was 6.
Songwriting was difficult for her, she says, after studying classical music. And as a result, she often incorporated hiccups and other odd sounds into her work. The hiccup sounds, she says, were like discovering she had a tambourine in her throat.

Three Songs from Spektor

• 'Better'
• 'On the Radio'
• 'Summer in the City'

  Song of the Day: Regina Spektor's 'Samson'

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Samson came to my bed Told me that my hair was red
He told me i was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me till the morning light, the morning light

Samson came back to bed not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

I loved you first. before --?

this reminds me of...? Patty Griffin maybe, re Moses.
Jewel, re come back to bed. and she sounds like someone especially at "sweetest downfall" - who?
