I’ve been listening to the new album, Far, by Regina Spektor non-stop for the past week. In fact, if my August 2009 had theme music, it would be the entire Far album.
You know you’ve found a gem when you can really listen to the whole album backwards and forwards and enjoy it all. I keep switching what my favorite song on the album is.
First is was Laughing With (cause that’s the first one I heard).
Then Machine (Classic Regina Spektor. This song epitomizes why I love her.).
Then Folding Chair (favorite line: “I’ve got a perfect body/ But sometimes I forget/ I’ve got a perfect body/ ‘Cause my eyelashes catch my sweat/ Yes they do/ They do-ooo.”).
Then Riot Gear (“Take of my tuna dress/ Put on my collard greens.”).
Then Dance Anthem of the 80′s (I have a silly dance to this that I’m thinking of making a YouTube video of).
Then The Calculation, Eet, and Blue Lips, all piled on top of each other, vying for first place and I said, “I can’t choose, guys! I can’t.”
And the rest are really good too. Especially One More Time with Feeling, Time is All Around, and The Sword & The Pen.
If you like good music, I say get this album.
In the meantime, I leave you with the music video for Eet. (I have no idea what that word is supposed to mean but this song is just too beautiful.)
And in case you’re all like, Regina who? This was the song that really launched her into the mainstream and it’s one of my fav music videos ever.
