the part in 500 days of summer that is reality vs expectation... makes me cry so much because I've been there and I've felt like tom......and regina's song perfectly describes that feeling....

[@johnmg8201]

It's my all-time favorite movie. I wish i watched it 11 years ago tho. but I doubt my 2nd grade brain would understand the movie.

[@shubhamvats6920]

You are not alone my brother . Same feelings same pain same Tom
But this time from India .

[@squalls8713]

Holy son of a God.. I've been there too.. what became so bad, the fact that it was happened few months later after i've watched this movie.. Then when I saw this movie once again, man.. So Tom's tears were true...

[@DrAwesome2570]

@@squalls8713 i think you studs missed the point of that whole movie

[@squalls8713]

@@DrAwesome2570 I mean at this scene.. not the whole movie.. But yeah in the end i've found "Autumn" too..

[@TheEdenEye]

She sounds almost identical to the album version. A sign of someone who can actually sing, and really well.

This song is so sad!

[@Darksunshinerain87]

So different than her shows now! A cheap keyboard, a dinner table chair and a milk crate. It's crazy! I love Regina Spektor.

[@mariahspapaya]

This song always makes me really emotional for some reason it's hard to listen to

[@silvia6770]

"I'm the hero of this story, don't need to be saved." breathtaken line

[@rowenmarkm.valdez7024]

My tears run down my face on this song while watching the near end of 500 days of summer 💔 my empathy to the guy is too emotional 😭

[@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce]

Same here. I identify with Tom (the main character in 500 Days of Summer) a lot, even if that's not a good thing, and that made me shed a lot of manly tears.

[@timup5744]

спасибо фильму 500 дней лета за то, что познакомили меня с этой девушкой и ее прекрасными песнями!

FIRST SONG I HEARD FROM HER IN THAT DEPRESSING TEENAGER MOVIE WITH THAT KID FROM 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN. BEST SONG FROM HER!

[@edwinwongso4257]

Actually the first song in the movie was also by her. Title of the song was "us"

I definitely love the other musicians, esp. the cellist in this piece. She's amazing, that goes without saying so. This song is so sad and has so much emotion, it does almost sound like a cry for help. Wow.

[@markk9175]

She is wonderful

[@tidalboxer]

Thanks for these. I was looking for some really early recordings like this when she did her NYC gigs before she made her first album. I know she burned lots of her own CD and circulated them. I’m curious what other songs there are on them I haven’t heard.

[@tomval1331]
