The love of my life past away march of 21'.... On the drive to her funeral I was uncombable... Barely able to see the road from the tears blocking my view... And this song came on. Came on a hip hop Iheart channel... Which made me pull over cry my heart out and look up to the sky as I shouted thank you...I've never heard of this artist or song before that.. I know it was her. I love you to the moon & back 2x's Lauren Ashley McNeil.. 4ever my Southern bell.
Somebody needs to convince her to play the lead character in the Look For Me movie series. Talent this rare should not be overlooked. You are looking at an international star of the first order.
Adam Hawk It is a four book series...basically historical fiction, a love story that spans 1,000 years. We are in the process of raising $100 million for the project. (No, I am not kidding. We've already located $14 million, but we still have a LONG ways to go.) You can read about the project and the back story at www.LookForMeIWillFindYou.com. Regina is so perfect for the lead, it is just mind blowing. If we can convince her to do it, nobody will overlook her then. You said the word, "Brilliant," and you are soooo right, my friend, soooo right.
Ah sounds very interesting! Feel free to email me, i'd love to stay in touch / help if I can! adambqyq@gmail.com:) Also-- I noticed the first book was PA based, I'm from Pittsburgh :') Lot of family and friends employed in the mining business (Rosebud Mines)
Such a beautiful woman with the voice to match. My son passed away just this last September 2nd. and it was him that introduced her music to me. I set here crying on Thanksgiving in 2017.
Regina Spektor's lyrical skills are incredible - her phrasing and words are so powerfully spot on. The piano work on this song just hits you straight in the heart and takes your breath away. And who would think that just watching her irises close when exposed to the light could be so emotive? Her eye color is like the rain lashed clouds clearing after a storm. This is truly a masterpiece by a rare and fabulously talented musician.
Maybe fame and related pressure kill talent and inspiration? Maybe fame isn't really good for anybody? I'm glad Regina is famous just enough and not too much.
Renata Cordeiro Rocha I think that it's the television, the radio, the "world wide web", etc. From I see, behind of that peoples are the music business and inside of Regina are the talent.
My grandad passed away last week, and even though I know this song is about a romantic relationship, many lines of it resonate so much in this moment. I don't know if I'm ever going to get over this pain completely, but I know how loving can be as deep as suffering. I just never imagined that it could be possible to feel so much.
My grandma just died. Here in the Philippines, we sing in karaoke during wakes and I was singing this and just bawled. How can I ever know why some stay, others go? When I don't, ooh I don't want you to go I guess I know by now That we will meet again somehow Time can come and wash away the pain But I just want my mind to stay the same To hear your voice To see your face There's not one moment I'd erase You are a guest here now Love you, Nanay!
It's been a long time from the last i listened to her songs. She was the favourite artist of my ex, so after we broke up it was hard to hear this music. Now i'm totally free and happy to hear you back! :)
I feel the same. I sadly still miss my ex and I can not explain why. He hurt me in ways that I still can not explain. So I am not sure what I miss.. but her music helps in a strange way. I am happy you have found your happiness. And I hope to find that one day myself
This song makes me think of my brother who died almost 5 years ago. I heard it for the first time yesterday and now I can’t get it out of my mind. It affects me deeply and I love it.
Listening to it for the the first time just now.( I love Regina and often think that she's from a higher place!). Hope you're doing OK, wherever you are
If there isn't already a religion based on Regina Spektor I think I should found one because no mortal human could ever create anything so true and beautiful, she must be a goddess...
Alex Golembeski haha, well like she sang herself, "if there was a church of me there would surely be a schism/there'd be rejewish & registian & reguslim & regatheist/but they'd still be friends" so I think you could have your pick!
Mine too... it's hard, but we have to move on, yes.... We can't die with them, because they wouldn't want that... Move on, and never forget them, but don't waste away in silence... Because they'd want you to be happy.
I hate listening to this song because it always pushes me to the verge of tears. The defeated optimism of it crushes my heart every single time. Don't let the major key distract you from the morose lyrics.
@@dicemarta I AM!! Thank you so much for asking! IM happier and healthier than ever! IM the luckiest man on earth because i found the most amazing woman on earth! As a matter of fact we just saw Regina Spektor play live a Month or two ago!
Congratulations on the baby and the Grammy nomination!! How you haven't won one yet is beyond me! I can already tell you're gonna be an amazing mother. I see a lot more beautiful songs in the future! Can't wait!
Unfortunately, totally feeling this song. But also, thanks goodness for all the feelings that come (and go) in our life and for all the songs that catalyse them!
How can I forget your love How can I never see you again There is a time and place For one more sweet embrace And there is a time, ooh, when it all, ooh, went wrong I guess you know by now That we will meet again somehow How Oh baby How can I begin again How can I try to love someone new Someone who isn't you How can our love be true When I'm not, ooh, I'm not over you I guess you know by now That we will meet again somehow Time can come and take away the pain But I just want my memories to remain To hear your voice To see your face There's not one moment I'd erase You are a guest here now So baby How can I forget your love How can I never see you again How can I ever know why some stay, others go And I don't, ooh, don't want you to go I guess I know by now That we will meet again somehow Time can come and wash away the pain But I just want my mind to stay the same To hear your voice To see your face There's not one moment I'd erase You are a guest here now So baby How can I forget your love How can I never see you again
I got this album and heard this song around the time my father in law was in the final stages of metastatic melanoma. As a result, this is one of the most beautiful and upsetting songs I will ever know. Thank you Regina, you are an incredible person and an unquantifiable talent.
She is indeed, an exquisitely old soul. She has the unique touch, class and look of a performer from the 1940's. What a magnificently beautiful voice and gracefully superb talent!
This woman is soooo beautiful to me!! This song hurts my heart,and uplifts my soul at the same time. I just love her,can't say that enough,inas many ways as it needs said!
i am 75 and have been listening to her wonderful eccentric songs for ten years. This is my favourite song of all songs, reduces me to a runny nose every time.
I don’t know if you read these comments. But my mom just passed this morning and this song has helped me figure out my feelings about it even though it’s a romantic song. Thank you, Regina.
Time can come and take away the pain... But I just want my memories to remain... ...to hear your voice... ...to see your face... ...there's not one moment...I'd erase So much sincerity in these lyrics.
I come from the orange is the new black fans. I had only listened to her theme song. But this, this right here... I don't know how I went on without this woman and her beautiful voice in my life. UA-cam's doing something right for once.
I think this song is about her band's cellist who died tragically on their tour. I saw Regina perform in Finland one day after the accident. Saddest and weirdest gig I've ever witnessed
Good GOD, this one floored me! I only even heard her name for the first time as of today, crazily enough, and it looks like there is a plethora of work out there to enjoy. :) She's so talented and incredibly graceful/beautiful.. what a total package.
fabiola machuca despite my initial excitement, I never listened to another tune of hers.. noo, that's not true, I did, now that I recall, but nothing grabbed me like this one ;)
My Mum passed away on the 24th June 2023 and it wasn't 'til I really listened to the lyrics of this song that I truly broke down and started to properly grieve 😢😭...So I have to thank you for such a beautiful piece of art Regina ❤ R.I.P. Mum (Michelle Ruiter) ❤
👉 *An amazingly overlooked gem....* 💎 Regina's _"How"_ is so touching and heartbreaking. Beautiful! The postcard look of the video feels homemade & special! 🌸
Living art. The most beautiful and poignant expression ever. Beethoven who? Oh to have a woman's heart yearn for you this way. My God, Regina: What is your phone number???
I'm bulk listening to Regina while working, forgetting to like and comment on all her songs. So I'll just say now WOOOOOOWWWWW this lady is simply out of this world. Love her style, music, lyrics, tonal range, everything about her and her incredible body of work. Simply stunning.
My favorite lyric: "How can I ever know why some stay and others go? When I don't want you, Oh I don't want you, to go?!" This expresses my current feelings very well, and I'm sure it speaks for plenty of people suffering clinical Depression or a significant personal loss. When someone we love more than life itself suddenly abandons us, we don't know if we can ever interact with people normally again, and we certainly don't want to go out on a limb and try. Why try when we can never know for sure whether someone is going to stay by our side or leave us in the lurch when we most need them? It hurts to much to lose that person and never see them again. So I'm in favor of not getting hurt again, even if that means having no friends forever. All friends eventually reject you anyway, so why not be proactive and quit tiring yourself trying to make new friends?
I hope you're in a better place now than you were when you wrote this. This song speaks to me now because I'm going through divorce but along with this song, I try to listen to "On the Radio": "This is how it works: You peer inside yourself You take the things you like Try and love the things you took Take that love you made Stick it into someone else's heart Pump in someone else's blood You walk arm in arm Hope it doesn't get harmed But even if it does you'll do it all over again" I think that this works both ways. You trade the things you like about yourself and what they like and you become a different person, hopefully a better one for having been with that person. If they leave, take that new mix you have and find what you like now and try again.
regina is truly an amazing musician. each of her songs tell a different story and even if we don't quite get their meaning they still nevertheless manage to find a way into our hearts, for me she is the epitomy of modern greatness
¿Cómo puedo olvidar tu amor? ¿Cómo puedo nunca verte otra vez? Hay un tiempo y un lugar para una dulce abrazo más Y hay un tiempo en el que todo salió mal Supongo que ahora ya sabes que nos volveremos a encontrar de alguna manera ¿Cómo puedo empezar de nuevo? ¿Cómo puedo tratar de amar a alguien nuevo? Alguien que no eres tú, ¿Cómo puede nuestro amor ser verdad? Cuando no te he olvidado. Supongo que ahora ya sabes que nos volveremos a encontrar de alguna manera El tiempo puede venir y quitar el dolor Pero yo sólo quiero que mis recuerdos se mantengan Para oír tu voz Para ver tu cara No hay ningún momento que borraría Eres un invitado aquí ahora Así que el cariño, ¿Cómo puedo olvidar tu amor? ¿Cómo puedo nunca verte otra vez? ¿Cómo voy a saber por qué algunos se quedan y otros se van? Cuando no quiero que te vayas...
AN UNDERAPPRECIATED MUSICAL GENIUS. I'M GLAD I HAD NO MUSICAL TALENT--TOUGH BUSINESS! FOR ME, SHE'S UP THERE W/ AMY WINEHOUSE, ELLA FITZGERALD. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT LYRICS, PIANO, VOICE. LOVE HER
The love of my life past away march of 21'.... On the drive to her funeral I was uncombable... Barely able to see the road from the tears blocking my view... And this song came on. Came on a hip hop Iheart channel... Which made me pull over cry my heart out and look up to the sky as I shouted thank you...I've never heard of this artist or song before that.. I know it was her. I love you to the moon & back 2x's Lauren Ashley McNeil.. 4ever my Southern bell.
I too can relate lost my husband in 04 and this song always reminds me of him ❤
I say this a lot... but Regina deserves so much more attention she gets. Brilliant.
Somebody needs to convince her to play the lead character in the Look For Me movie series. Talent this rare should not be overlooked. You are looking at an international star of the first order.
INTERESTING. What is Look For Me?

Such a beautiful woman with the voice to match. My son passed away just this last September 2nd. and it was him that introduced her music to me. I set here crying on Thanksgiving in 2017.
He was probably right there with you. Much love to you!
Hope all is well.
Welcome back.
This song is killing me and soothing me at the same time.
I feel the same way
+Kasia i listen to Regina when i feel sad. Doesn't cheer me up, just makes sad feel better.
Exactly know how you feel.
Hard to find people that enjoy music such as this!
For reals!!
I'm not crying....you're crying!!
10 years later, still such a beautiful piece. Another timeless from Ms. Regina Spektor.
Illegally Under rated
Regina Spektor's lyrical skills are incredible - her phrasing and words are so powerfully spot on. The piano work on this song just hits you straight in the heart and takes your breath away. And who would think that just watching her irises close when exposed to the light could be so emotive? Her eye color is like the rain lashed clouds clearing after a storm. This is truly a masterpiece by a rare and fabulously talented musician.
I wholeheartedly agree. Mainstream music will never come close to this genuine work of art
this comment is a masterpiece
Her voice is also one of a kind
Que bello lo que comentas !
Really makes me wonder how some people are so famous and arent half as tallented as Regina.
Maybe fame and related pressure kill talent and inspiration? Maybe fame isn't really good for anybody? I'm glad Regina is famous just enough and not too much.
May be they have better marcketting... (so sorry, couldn't help it... it was so tempting... i agree with you by the way)
Amen
Renata Cordeiro Rocha I think that it's the television, the radio, the "world wide web", etc. From I see, behind of that peoples are the music business and inside of Regina are the talent.
@@scriptguru8 100%
She really needs to make a comeback. I miss her music so much ;;
She did it, ahahhahahahaha
Yeah, her voice is so soft and makes me calm :)
She has a new album out, today!
Broadway
This video is like the prettiest thing ever
Solid agreement
My grandad passed away last week, and even though I know this song is about a romantic relationship, many lines of it resonate so much in this moment. I don't know if I'm ever going to get over this pain completely, but I know how loving can be as deep as suffering. I just never imagined that it could be possible to feel so much.
I hear you, it's going to be 2 years since I lost my brother and this song resonates what's in my heart after losing him. I feel your pain.
It's not nessecarily about romance.
🙏
My granny still passed away recently, the pain never stops growing and this song represents very well how I feel
I feel the same as you. My daddy passed away on Monday, November 15th and this song doesn't stop making sense to me.
My grandma just died. Here in the Philippines, we sing in karaoke during wakes and I was singing this and just bawled.
How can I ever know why some stay, others go?
When I don't, ooh
I don't want you to go
I guess I know by now
That we will meet again somehow
Time can come and wash away the pain
But I just want my mind to stay the same
To hear your voice
To see your face
There's not one moment I'd erase
You are a guest here now
Love you, Nanay!
This song is underrated. 😢
Every song of hers is underrated! It stinks. But then again I like being in a small community of Regina lovers 😄
4.6 million views, not that small! (although I admit I'd never heard of her until today)
Are you really color blind or making a cultural statement?
It's been a long time from the last i listened to her songs. She was the favourite artist of my ex, so after we broke up it was hard to hear this music. Now i'm totally free and happy to hear you back! :)
Nicolás Díaz Orellana Good that you´re happy now! welcome back to listen Regina´s songs that are beautiful like this one! cheers!
I feel the same. I sadly still miss my ex and I can not explain why. He hurt me in ways that I still can not explain. So I am not sure what I miss.. but her music helps in a strange way. I am happy you have found your happiness. And I hope to find that one day myself
Nicolás Díaz Orellana
hola essay
Nicolás Díaz Orellana never let someone ruin good music for you.
Me too! Her songs are the soundtrack of my life in the last 10-12 years.
I discovered this song 11 years ago. Today I listen to it, and I am bawling.
Same ❤
Some of her songs can break my heart in all the most beautiful ways.
How is it possible that someone is that beautiful, talented, unique and highly underappreciated at the same time??
This song makes me think of my brother who died almost 5 years ago. I heard it for the first time yesterday and now I can’t get it out of my mind. It affects me deeply and I love it.
Same more than a decade for me😢
Listening to it for the the first time just now.( I love Regina and often think that she's from a higher place!). Hope you're doing OK, wherever you are
........Ma'am, you remind me that I felt young once. The scars don't feel so bad when I hear your voice. Thanks.
One of the most underrated singers! She is better than most of the top artists. No doubt!
She is not popular in Japan, but I love her and her songs! I also like Samson, The Call and Loveology.
Not popular in Japan? Why not ask half the studio Ghibli composers who's music they constantly ripoff? Lol
UA-cam needs to add a "LOVE" button. "Like" just doesn't come close.
ivan terrible I know you’re joking, but dead ass serious I want that
One of the greatest singer/songwriters working today. Her gift for melody is extraordinary.
I agree, David. I love her.
a song you just never want to end
I got my visa approved, for me is victory.
If there isn't already a religion based on Regina Spektor I think I should found one because no mortal human could ever create anything so true and beautiful, she must be a goddess...
I would be a disciple!
Alex Golembeski haha, well like she sang herself, "if there was a church of me there would surely be a schism/there'd be rejewish & registian & reguslim & regatheist/but they'd still be friends" so I think you could have your pick!
Em Cameron
Regoroastrian! lol what song is that from?
Alex Golembeski Seriously though can we start one? Listening to
her music is the closest thing to a spiritual experience I have ever had. Ha
I am a godess. She is a princess.
She is the whole package. Angelic voice, baby face and raw talent. Great video~
love ur vids btw u have the songs of hers that i cant find anywhere else :P
SoulStealerC I'm glad you enjoy her older music. :)
George T. Yeah my favorite album is far, thats kinda weird its already 6 years old
I wonder if there's a special place near God, for those like her who sooth broken souls.
She's a sofisticated woman who makes sofisticated musics
You need to use spellcheck bro. It's sophisticated. Also it is "music", not "musics".
These thoughts are running through my mind as I finally start seeing someone new, after the loss of my fiance..
Once I lost my wife but she always finds me, hahahaha
Mine too... it's hard, but we have to move on, yes.... We can't die with them, because they wouldn't want that... Move on, and never forget them, but don't waste away in silence... Because they'd want you to be happy.
Michon Elise this song is for you on that time but i hope you have yours now !
Regina has showed us that there is a sad space in music, beautiful and saddest than blues but with orher colours to perform.
Basically my life goal is to become regina spektor.
Can't believe I discovered her 5 years ago already :o and I'm still madly in love with her irresistible vocals
Now it's been 11 years! I hope you've listened to her newer album :)
I'm still patiently waiting for Regina to have another song. Who's watching this in 2016?
Me, I'm using "All the rowboats" for my solo song, for my competitive dancing. My favorite song ever...❤️
+Isaiah Dela Cruz I'm hoping for another album soon. Hopefully she can record one, as soon as she can~~ And, of course, as soon as she'd like to.
+Isaiah Dela Cruz ME
meh.

She literally makes my heart hurt when she sings this song
A 50's tune with a 70's message.I love this song.
her melodies are so refreshing... its very hard to predict the changes she'll make in the song/where its gonna go
Art is something you feel. When art becomes love, we shall sit in the power of love and enjoy its fruits.
damn Regina is one hell of a singer!
Its like she's inside my head, how does she do that 😍
she is Illuminati, stay away.

My heart is being squished... SQUISHED!
PLEASE COME BACK REGINA
She has a husband and a kid, she probably a busy woman. I still miss you though Regina! Come back soon
I will not listen! He is like an adware virus with his comments "listen to..."!
Oh dear, so are good things going worse.
she's back!
You're so right and I fall on my knees and I am soo soo happy to have her and her music back.

I’m so sorry 😢. A parent dying is truly one of life’s difficult moments…
That voice is like liquid gold.
2019 and this song still make me cry
My beautiful daughter turned me on to Regina. I can't live without both these 2 great musicians. I am blessed.
This woman is a literal muse.
She has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard!!!!!!!!!! Regina is amazing!!!!!!!!
This song is so gorgeous, what an incredible lyric, interpretation and vocal gem.
She deserves to be one of the biggest stars today, and of the last 20 or so years. And to me she is :)
Best line by far "Why some stay when others go"
Whimsical! Li'l upbeat but sad love song.
this chicks got actual talent
rare nowadays, does she sell many records?
yes
Time can come and take away the pain...
But I just want my memories to remain...

I don’t understand HOW this lady’s music destroys me. Most beatific voice I have ever heard.
OBSESSED WITH HER
I think this song is about her band's cellist who died tragically on their tour. I saw Regina perform in Finland one day after the accident. Saddest and weirdest gig I've ever witnessed
Wow, I just a comment wondering about this. Thanks for the insight. What happened?? Both to her cellist and the performance.
M Jo
No it's not.
Good GOD, this one floored me! I only even heard her name for the first time as of today, crazily enough, and it looks like there is a plethora of work out there to enjoy. :)
She's so talented and incredibly graceful/beautiful.. what a total package.
then it's time to initiate the ceremony. join us Regina fans!
Did you like the rest of her music? 'Cause I know she's so wonderfully weird that maybe some people don't get her.

This expresses my current feelings very well, and I'm sure it speaks for plenty of people suffering clinical Depression or a significant personal loss. When someone we love more than life itself suddenly abandons us, we don't know if we can ever interact with people normally again, and we certainly don't want to go out on a limb and try. Why try when we can never know for sure whether someone is going to stay by our side or leave us in the lurch when we most need them? It hurts to much to lose that person and never see them again. So I'm in favor of not getting hurt again, even if that means having no friends forever. All friends eventually reject you anyway, so why not be proactive and quit tiring yourself trying to make new friends?
I hope you're in a better place now than you were when you wrote this.
This song speaks to me now because I'm going through divorce but along with this song, I try to listen to "On the Radio":
"This is how it works:
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
Try and love the things you took
Take that love you made
Stick it into someone else's heart
Pump in someone else's blood
You walk arm in arm
Hope it doesn't get harmed
But even if it does
you'll do it all over again"
I think that this works both ways. You trade the things you like about yourself and what they like and you become a different person, hopefully a better one for having been with that person. If they leave, take that new mix you have and find what you like now and try again.
regina is truly an amazing musician. each of her songs tell a different story and even if we don't quite get their meaning they still nevertheless manage to find a way into our hearts, for me she is the epitomy of modern greatness
Regina looks so beautiful in this video like omg 💞💓
"How can I never see you again?" Such a powerfully sad lyric. Who among us hasn't felt that exact loss?
¿Cómo puedo olvidar tu amor?
¿Cómo puedo nunca verte otra vez?
Hay un tiempo y un lugar para una dulce abrazo más
Y hay un tiempo en el que todo salió mal
Supongo que ahora ya sabes que nos volveremos a encontrar de alguna manera
¿Cómo puedo empezar de nuevo?
¿Cómo puedo tratar de amar a alguien nuevo?
Alguien que no eres tú, ¿Cómo puede nuestro amor ser verdad?
Cuando no te he olvidado.
Supongo que ahora ya sabes que nos volveremos a encontrar de alguna manera
El tiempo puede venir y quitar el dolor
Pero yo sólo quiero que mis recuerdos se mantengan
Para oír tu voz
Para ver tu cara
No hay ningún momento que borraría
Eres un invitado aquí ahora
Así que el cariño,
¿Cómo puedo olvidar tu amor?
¿Cómo puedo nunca verte otra vez?
¿Cómo voy a saber por qué algunos se quedan y otros se van?
Cuando no quiero que te vayas...
Ooh directo al corazón 💔
So beautiful in Spanish
This is brilliant..thanks to UA-cam..i found some good music that i never knew existed in my small world..
Her voice cures and heals all wounds.
I saw her play this live tonight. This song still cuts me with its beautiful sadness.
in theory this isn't the kind of music that I like, but this song just... hooks me in somehow, if that makes sense
AN UNDERAPPRECIATED MUSICAL GENIUS. I'M GLAD I HAD NO MUSICAL TALENT--TOUGH BUSINESS! FOR ME, SHE'S UP THERE W/ AMY WINEHOUSE, ELLA FITZGERALD. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT LYRICS, PIANO, VOICE. LOVE HER
