I fulfilled my lifelong dream of yelling "solo!" during this song at her concert...it was absolutely incredible.
Hahahahha
You
Are
So sweet
That is indeed
I just have to do it in my bedroom
I’m jealous.
After 2 minutes, it gets real dark. She's so cryptic. She embellishes pain and deeper issues with frolic and playful lyrics, but there's often dark undertones.
Yes.
This comment is everything.
What is the christian reference? i dont see it
Lets not pretend there wasn't transitional music to get you there.
@@pharaohmoses8836 You're way off. It's about a child not realising what goes on in "meat markets" or dance clubs where people go to hook up. The last part is when she older and she talks about the addiction many people have to such activity.
@@pharaohmoses8836 The beauty of art is that it's inherently subjective, therefore it is difficult to say any one interpretation is wrong. However, better interpretations can be achieved through an understanding of context and more evidence. Don't obsess over one line and look at the song as a whole. Taking a line out of context won't tell you the meaning of the song as a whole.
2:03
This woman is a genius!!!
At this point the melody gets so fucking intense. its so moving and beautiful! Never fails to give me the feels.
yes, you are listening to a fun beat and then this part hits you. it changes your thoughts and your mood and then the beat hits you. and you are like "omg what are you doing to me?".
Check out "Human of the Year"... The bridge hits me like a ton of bricks every time I listen to it...
Couldn't agree more. This whole portion of the song (bridge?) has been magical to me for the last ten years.
@@catherinesackman7633 Same!
How does one even write songs like this? Like. Wow. I've never heard any other artist like this.
Crystal143 Try Vampire Weekend. Closest I know, or DramtiX.
Only REGINA! 😉
Try Emily Haines.You'll be surprised
I'd say Ben Folds with a female singer is pretty close.
I recommend fetch the bolt cutters album by Fiona Apple
I don't usually make statements like this. . . But Regina Spektor is my aesthetic.
aesthetic what
Fuck off, you ableist.
lol
She's one of the few musicians where the more I learn about her, the more I like her. She ain't exactly out of the Hollywood mold
Portia you used the word wrong there sport.
I was under the impression that this song was about a young girl's misinterpretations of the terms "Meet Market", and "sleeping together". (I'm unsure of Ms. Spektor's age, but she must have been a little girl in the 80's). Then she grows up and finds out what they really mean. A song about innocence and the loss of innocence.
She has 34 years actually
So born in 1980. She would have been a little girl in the 80's. Sounds right.
Actually. Funny thing about that. (Also, Happy New Year!)
Regina immigrated with her family to America in 1989. So, while she was born in 1980, she didn't experience going through childhood in the US in the 80s. This song is really good about portraying that feeling, though.
Sea Earl Punch I did not know that. Cool.
Damn, all of her song are a metaphor of life, She really deserves a lot more fans
You are not one of my people. YOU are something special. Regina. Whatever it is. I don't think you even know. Keep doing it. Keep doing it. You are so sweet. And the most brilliant musician and singer on the planet. I actually love you. Really. No other musician gets that from me. I love you.
+Jack Spraker wow, couldn't have put it better myself. I love her, she's brilliant.
+Jack Spraker I agree to the maximum level with you.
Regina Spektor is on a whole different level than the rest of us.
I remember seeing this a good while ago, and back then I didn't agree. What can I say, time passes fast and now I am a huge fan of her.
I love watching her interviews because listening to her speaking is beautiful af
I can never seem to run out of great Spektor songs
saamee
This one is sooooo underrated from her repertoire. Actually one of my favorites
It's such a gift to be able to write every single song to be an allegory.
This is a song so deceptively happy but about something so much darker.
It's about how in the 80's casual sex was such an epidemic the girl who's become a sex addict who just can't seem to get her act together. She tries to become a prostitute "with her slip shown a little" but the cars don't stop. "it's been a long time since before I've been touched/Now I'm getting touched all the time".
Such a good song for something so so sad.
I've never been good at analyzing song lyrics and poetry so I'm not surprised I didn't get this.
I was born in 1992 so I didn't really know that about the 80s but I feel that it is still pretty rampant. At least from the people I've met.
Piscaso That's a really interesting interpretation that you have there!
bullshit
orginallos why not listen to the song again??? idk what to tell you but the facts are there, though I cannot say the song is about that specifically.
God, you're SO spot on. "Like a drunk, but not". "There's a meat market down the street". And yeah, the dark interpretation couldn't be more Regina-ish... 1000 thumbs up.
This song is *so* odd. I love it.
niggaplease47 why so grumpy ma dood
I love you too
Regina you´re so beautiful AND SO SWE-EEEE-ET.
Great song, very cute. I have an interpretation for it that makes it even more endearing.
First, remember that Ms. Spektor was born in 1980. She would have been in the single-digit ages through most of the '80s. So consider this song is told from the perspective of a creative little girl trying to write a cool, mature pop song. She has overheard adults talking about how a local club is a "meat market". When she asked about what that meant, she was told that it was a place where men and women go to meet each other for romantic reasons. She imagines a place where people can buy meat and eat it, while trying to hook up with the opposite sex. She knows that men and women want to sleep with each other, but doesn't get the details...so she writes a line about boys and girls going to a meat market to watch each other eat, when in reality they want to watch each other sleep.
that's so interesting, Regina would be proud :,)
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW poor Regina
R-Bizzle Chica I think this might be what the real story behing the song is....maybe some parts different but mostly same.
It is very nice of you sir to explain that, I just wonder why all the time haha.
Thank you.
Wow, I never knew that. I always thought it gad those lines to be silly.
I know nobody cares, but I’m finally going to see her live August 8th in California! Can’t wait man.
This is the most adorable music video I have ever seen in my entire life
Agree 😁🥰
She has way less fans than she deserves.
gon joobe
Regina Spektor was ahead of the times and shooting quarantine music videos way back when
This clip reminds me of a very cute home made video to Brand New Key by Melanie, somewhere here on YT
When she says "to watch each other" it just sounds so sweet and perfect god I love her voice
Regina Spektor is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This song is adorable. As for the video, I think she know's what she is doing. This is awesome. It matches the song so well. I saw her live. It was just her and her piano, what an artist. She was able to capture the entire audience and we all just watched her sing and be AMAZING.
I surprisingly really like the editing. She's so cute and I'm obsessed.
Regina's such a dork and I love her for it.
Holy crap this song is 10 years old now??
its 12 now
Ja, you ahora bist senh jarhe alt older
for 3 minutes and 43 seconds i felt sweet and not bitter.
Regina's best video I think... It kind of represents her... Simply weird, beautiful, catchy, happy, passionate, and.... perfect!... she doesn't need proffesional videos to look and sound perfect!
I love Regina, her music, her personality, her beauty, her style, her creativity... She is completely perfect in my eyes (and ears) =)
I love Regina's music! One of the few acoustic artists (some of her music) that can make me hang between sleep and being awake. Not too noisy. Not boring. Yeah, could be in love. Sigh. Ease my worried mind Regina!
when i was in fashion design camp my counsellor used to play this song.......... most memorable part of the whole experience
Regina is such a special singerrrr. Regina you're so talented, never stop singing for us please
I want to go to sleep...but I also want to just lay here all night and listen to Regina!
In progress
Same here
choose wisely, my friend. *dies*
Regina comes first with everything in my life. Wise enough for ya buddy?
Five7weezy *undies* you have found the secret to eternal life.
omg regina is forever my favorite
I cannot stop listening to this song!!! Regina is brilliant.
Absolutely pure distilled Regina quirkiness. You can't pull your eyes away from it.
Her voice is so beautiful she can say anything and is music.
You. Are. So sweet.
So sweet!
Dancing and moving to the beat
This song makes perfect sense to me. It's the greatest music that humans can hear. This is music at its prime. A tour de force of amazing vocals. Regina Spektor, you are quite possibly the greatest woman to ever live! Your music is too good to comprehend, and it just evokes so much emotion! You my dear lady, are one of the only things that hasn't been tainted in this world! Thank you for saving my life :)
The fact that it isn´t in high quality makes it more 80´s!
Can we just take 5 to observe how damn adorable Regina Spektor is?
"It's been a long time since before I've been touched, now I'm getting touched all the time, and it's only a matter of whom, and it's only a matter of when."
She's a woman of vision.
The way the layers of the melody build upon each other is brilliant.
i love this. she added all the elements of 80's music(catchiness, feeling, vocal runs) into one song. kinda like a summary of music from that time.
how in the hell does she do that?
i love how her songs are just a million beautiful sounds that just roll together in perfect harmony. her songs can sound like five different songs all in the first thirty seconds and somehow just be perfect. just what you need to hear and how you should hear it.
I am beyond in love with her. She is the nicest and kindest person i've ever met.
Как же она беспредельно музыкальна.!! С простого сделать такое!!
Апплодисменты!!!!!
This song slaps. That’s it, that’s the comment:
Блаженство. Это какая-то фантастика!)
I love it when she says "Sleep " Or whatever word she's saying! That's so awesome :D
This woman is a goddess.
I love this song. Not really sure what the meaning is, but I love how compared to all her other songs, she shows her personality and has fun with it. Such a fun personality. :3
Well meat market is like a sexual market. So...haha
Zachary Quiroz I think the classic meat market was the disco where large amounts of booze was consumed and the "pick up" was easy, you know, questionable standards and next morning regret ( we called them parachute clubs - always got a jump - the morning after was escape and evasion). The innocence here is the watching of sleep, an act of adoration rather than lust. Great song.
Eres adorable Regina. Cuanta espontaneidad,frescura y naturaleza hay en ti.
Regina is the cutest girl in the entire world
her music brings back memories, 10 yrs ago my kids were small n I would always play her music while doing school projects......
Vic Al awe
This music video needs to be put into the UA-cam vault for future generations to appreciate
she's so adorable
SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTEEEE :3 she looks like a kid from the 90's .
I love that this song is about non-childish things, like sex and love but it's sung and portrayed like a happy children's song. That's why she had to do this video. Its the juxtaposition that works
"I went walking through the city, like a drunk but not
With my slip showin' a little, like a drunk but not
And I am one of your people, but the cars don't stop
And I am one of your people, but the cars don't stop
It's been a long time since before I been touched
Now I'm getting touched all the time
And it's only a matter of whom
And it's only a matter of when
An addiction to hands and feet
There's a meat market down the street
The boys and girls watch each other eat
When they really just wanna watch each other sleep"
One of my favorite bridges in any song, ever.
shes's so adorable
totally!
She has the rare abilty to make me feel happy and sad at the same time,and no i'm not crazy(:
1:38 to 2:03 makes me so uncontrollably happy and in a way free its odd. Im pretty sure I could listen to 10 hours of it straight.
Why don't I listen to this 'once more' :3
"Once"
I can't believe I'm only hearing this Regina song now! :O SOOOOOOOOO good!
If I drove by and saw regina spektor I would've pulled over and cried of joy
This song absolutely blew my mind as a teenager! This album made me realize my direction in my own music.
when you watch this in full screen it feels like shes singing to you
i remember when this first came out i was blown away
Es una hermosa loquita, me fascina y encanta.
This is such a profound song. Keeping the quirkiness (and pretty much all her beautiful grace) aside, this song is such a sad commentary on all of us and our society.
Once again comments on Regina Spektors videos are insightful, intelligent, thought provoking, sweet and just downright weird. My fave music video comment section to trawl through and no, not all of us are poets with beards and berets
Still in love with this
I've always loved this song so much. And obviously Regina too
she's one of the most talented musician ever I think!
I've been a fan of Regina Spektor's songs for some time now, but I missed this one. Glad I finally watched it, very cool.
Real talent
what a cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute videoooooooo!!!!! ♥ lovely
Right on girl!!! I love it!!! Your music has reminded me how much I need to make music again, thank you 📻❤️😻💎😻❤️📻
It's a frickin' video, who cares!!!!!!!! And it's Regina Spektor, thank god!!!!!!!
Definitely my song, video and favorite singer, I'm in love with your music
I love how the house and background are nearly perfectly symmetrical; what are the chances of filming a house like that?
But this whole video just exudes cuteness! It's not derogatory at all.
i love the way she sings "sleeeeeeep". i love her singing anyway, but that sounds great n.n!
Recently found out that this song was about casual sex back in the 80's..
best song to dance and run around in when your home alone
Regina is so amazing! She's still childlike even though she's in her late twenties or whatever...
Saw Regina in Sweden at Lisebergs hallen. Im pritty shore she loked at me and smiled. Coolest moment ever.😀🤗
No fore shure, she loked at me
Video clip 80s style , clever idea
I love this video
I think most of us just wan to watch Regina sleep sleep sleep... :)
She's so so so special, and she adequately fills an emptiness in the truth of today's music. Too bad more people aren't enlightened... :/
SHE IS ADORABLE.
La primera vez que vi y escuché ésto quedé
en shock como una semana. Jajajajajajajaja
Hey ReginaSpektor! Do you think you could re-upload the music videos so that they're in a higher quality? I'd love to see this, Samson and all the rest in HD. Thanks! :)
apoyo tu propuesta! (Y)
This proves that a music video doesn't have to be expensive to make it entertaining
(:
I LOVE YOU REGINA SPEKTOR ........
such a bean
Don't sing this in church. Or in public. When people hear you say "an addiction to hands and feet, there's a meat market down the street," you get some pretty worried looks.
hahahahaha lol
Cute is an understatement. She is what true beauty is!
Regina is the kind of person who makes music that makes you want to dance in public and not care how much you embarrass yourself. :]
114 people are not sweet. >:c Too bad.
I resisted not to kiss my ipad screen.
I couldn't resist.
Kiss a rock instead or both :p
This adorable young lady is already 30 years old, i think later she will be an adorable middle-age woman, and after that she will be an adorable old lady =)
When she sings that run on "Sleep"... it's incredible. I could only dream of doing something like that.
