Aquarius Regina Spektor

Regina Spektor's "Aquarius." Enjoy!!!
Lyrics:
Dear someone listening in the shadows
I only talk to you sometimes
and though I ask for help in riddles
it is clearer in my mind
clearer in my mind
born of a sign that carries vessels
but in a month that's cold as ice
I know I question things too quickly
but I have never questioned if I've loved
dear someone watching from the shadows
I'm clenching water in my fists
the drops, they slip right through my fingers
but there's water on my lips
water on my lips
born of a sign that carries vessels
but in a month that brings just ice
I know I question things too quickly
but I've never wondered if I've loved
dear someone watching from the shadows
you've seen me lose all the water from my hands
I'm not a skillful water carrier
but the raindrops keep falling on my head
falling on my head
born of a sign that carries water
but in a month that brings just ice
I'm not a skillful water carrier
but I've learned to carry love
learned to carry love...

This song will never need to be taken into the studio, it's perfect as is. Bless whomever recorded it and bless those people clinking glasses.

[@LadyFalcon17]

ABSOLUTELY. Her voice is so raw and beautiful. This is perfection.

[@kpacubo.]

​@@LadyFalcon17the piano too, i love how it's uncompressed, slipping in and out of the recording in an almost emotive way. perfect for the song

[@ronmitchmusic6516]

i don't think anyone captures the human experience more skillfully or artfully than Regina does..

[@mwhatyousaidd]

I agree 100%

[@kennethsubrin4885]

is there anything more Aquarian than that?

[@laughingwolf330]

A decade on and still this song is untouchable. As an Aquarius/Pisces/Aquarius this hits deep. Not like you have to be Aquarian though, the sentiment here is purely human ❤️💡

[@NatSaccowantsabetterurl]

as an aquarius and regina spektor fan i love this

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

I can't believe this was live. I thought it was a studio recording this whole time.

[@CraigMaxwell-gz3vw]

Me too

[@3mi3mi]

Someone needs to put together all of her unreleased songs on a playlist and call it, "Mary Ann on Sabbatical."

[@aniekanabasi]

Emilia López , but I like to discover them randomly and Surprise myself

[@sierrascott9913]

i honestly can relate to both of these

[@nathannoetzold3821]

Marry Ann on Coronavirus Quarantine

[@Saliank]

@@nathannoetzold3821 Haha, so accurate

[@stephenhilfer1438]

There's a 21-year anniversary edition of 11:11 coming out next year that includes "Papa's Bootlegs" -- stuff that is probably even deeper of a cut than this!

[@Alex-qm1ku]

If you listen closely around 2:49, you can hear Regina say "sorry" in the most adorable way ever. :)

[@emma-mq4ie]

for me it's a very real part of the song haha

[@lalahobbes]

Regina- You may not be a skillful water carrier but you've carried me through some of my worst times. Thank you :)

[@groovybananas27]

I'm extremely into astrology and this is my favorite song by Regina Spektor. I hope she puts it in an album so it can be the most played song on my ipod

[@angelahope9578]

This comment gave me nostalgia. iPods v. MP3s is the original Apple v. Android

[@Kita_in_Korea]

It's okay you can be an Aquarius for 4 minutes and 46 seconds

[@potterlove]

Why is beautiful stuff like THIS not on the radio? do I really want to hear about people shaking their things at clubs and picking up women?. No. This is genius. This is inspiration. It's so sad how underrated Regina Spektor is when compared to other music out right now. She's what talent is. She's a true muscian.

[@KoiNohappygolucky]

I started crying during just the beginning of this song... It hit home immediately. I understand how that feels

[@Cutelilpoptart55]

This song quiets my mind.

[@AlexS-df7qk]

Over a decade of listening to this song and Regina being one of my favorite artists. I used to have it downloaded before the age of music streaming services, and all of my downloaded music is long gone, but not my love for this song or all of Regina’s older music.

[@nevigator90]

I probably have a lot of the old stuff you used to have saved on my hard drive! Would you like me to send what I have!?

[@jeremyceniza]

This song makes me cry and I don't know why.

[@luvbird]

When the Aquarius tries to do their job, this one realizes their not skilled at carrying water(metaphorically speaking - keeping balance in the ones we hold true or the balance of other sorts). But the one thing that this person learned to do is to carry love. So no, don't be sad - it's a way of living. To acknowledge, to learn from, and move on the way you left off before the water - before the spill.

[@juelz4sure492]

I like the rawness of this!

[@kaiyadiestler9907]

The fact that this was never formally released and can't be found on any of her albums or streamed on any app just kills me inside. It's one of my favorite songs that she has written, it's just so tender and vulnerable in the best way, like she knows how to really be human in a world of perfectionism

[@queenmoline]

I've never even heard this song before! I love it when that happens!

[@dreamingsophie5792]

i'm finding new regina spektor songs all the time, yesterday for example "love me or leave me" ... so different from her other songs^^

[@queenmoline]

I shall seek out this "love me or leave me" jewel you speak of...

[@dez10e]

2019 and still gives me all the feels.

[@denkikaminari7894]

2021 now

[@averageskill]

I've been clicking on Regina's songs for at least an hour now...adding most to my favorites...Now...understand this, I'm a dude..and I'm glad...but if I had to a woman...Regina is who I'd want to be...I'm pretty sure she could gather enough fans to "crowd surf" all the way around the world....hope she passes over me.....

[@MrTributes]

nothing tastes as good as being Aquarius feels when this songs on

[@ruthnunes2340]

this song sounds like the calm rain falling on the trees...

[@zeldaoot23]

My sincerest thanks to whatever person made and shared this recording so many years ago... I don’t understand why Regina hasn’t made a studio recording of it. One of my favorites for sure, even with that little mistake 2/3 though the song :-)

[@Imdone767]

There is a 100% perfect version of her playing on broadway at the lunt fontanne theater a few years ago.

[@arandomeperson]

The only thing I prefer to silence

[@jumpityjump3]

Miah Gruber Bravo! Best comment on here; most fitting of the talent described. Said it better than I could have. Thank you, fellow fan. ❤️

[@woolycooly9595]

@@jumpityjump3 yes

[@SmotPoker09]

I've got a live version of this song , at one point she's very clearly crying. Her vibrato goes kind of hoarse, she says 'sorry' very quietly, and she sounds on the verge of tears for the rest of the song. aww Regina :(

[@Letthembelightpeaceonelove]

Regina Spektor reminds me of a hidden cafe in the 1930's

[@agneslabyselberg6756]

Omg right

[@1beat2hearts]

sigh... i love having a laptop.... i love listening to good music..... i love daydreaming ... but nothing beats a person walking up to me and asking me what im thinking about when im listening to music like regina's spektor because the answers simple.... im dancing with her voice and sailing her mind!!!!!

[@lonenightkit]

I'm a scorpio and I feel everything she says too!

[@MsComedyDoc]

Being an Aquarius is an experience. You're sensitive, but you love to laugh. You're strong and you're stubborn, and you love in a blind, reckless and beautiful way. I hope I will find someone who loves that unconditionally :)

[@viniciusribeirinho113]

Did you find this one?

[@MaddyNKelsey]

I'm not going to lie. I cry every single time I listen to this song. It's so gorgeous..

[@ladycimone]

A lovely song, truly.

[@allyperez2900]

This is one of my faves.

[@astridgrenac385]

Reginas voice and lyrics have a way to dance with your soul and she will forever be a treasure that connects hearts 🌌

[@fgbowen]

Well Reg. First I've heard this. Most honest song yet. .. You know yourself well.

[@TheRealDavlion]

coming from an aquarius, the meaning of this song to me is about how we can be distant, difficult to figure out, but have trouble figuring out everyone. Maybe thats the way it's suppose to be. The song moves to 3 lines of how we feel and the line "but I have never questioned if I've loved" describing why our sign is special, cause we instinctively cherish love over all.

[@rachelbumbumbum]

Goodness, two years ago this did not speak to me as deeply as it did just now. Timing really is key.

[@JEWLES4EVER]

she's so beatiful, I love her style and her voice and....ARGH I have the BIGGEST girl crush on her!!!

[@alfredhauballe4020]

Regina sends me somewhere. It's not necessarily pleasant. But it's thoughtful and different. It makes me feel something different.

[@absolutroot]

I love the piano in this song. If anyone can play what water feels like, Regina can.

[@cookieconquerer]

All her music is beautiful, its not just written to please people, but to carry meaning. I like that

[@ledeluge_]

Well, I'm ashamed that I have just discovered this song. And also glad, because I can experience this now 20 years after "meeting" her for the first time.

[@Zombiphication]

If this song doesn't bring you to tears, you're missing the metaphor.

[@elephantluver96]

I love her voice; it's so pure, unaltered and beautiful.

[@BOMBOVA]

for those of us who are dabbling on the margins of reginia's music, to hear the range and capability of this wonderful star.. thank you Samrtguy... nice collection.. she has diversity, but really love the controlled intensity.. " i am with you "

[@My2993]

beautiful ``her´´ beautiful ``voice´´beautiful ``song´´ great i love it!!!

[@ellenpchams]

there is so much intense emotion in this song! it is seriously beautiful.

[@marthel2782]

OH I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! All these crappy unreleased recordings are brilliant

[@13EvilEve]

I'm a Virgo....who's loved many an Aquarian...and I love this song!

[@amandamm2217]

The same happens to me...and I love it too.

[@jologwapo9]

Funny cause Virgos and Aquarians are Different.

[@amandamm2217]

Yeah...so different *sighs*

[@SurrealSaDiabel]

Virgos tend to be attracted to aquarians.

[@jologwapo9]

We're just intrigue HAHA. We like different systems. bring'in it to our world, upgrading it to be more real and beautiful. I love Regina tho but don't know her personally. Is she open like a 1% population of all Aquarians? Is she strong, poised, polite or hateful? The only person I don't go along with, My BEF ( Best Enemy Forever ) is an Aquarian before me knowing he is. But I have a close friend (Aquarian) who likes listening to me, talking to me, open up to me and even we knew we're different, we respect each other's take. We always laugh (real one, like the noisy one without caring for other people hearing us, we're like dying laughing for 5 hours) and if she want's a person to go along having tea with her, I'm on the top 5 of her list for sure. It's amazing cause we're not always together or best friends, we're like just a friend, we see each other like 1 time per 2 months.

[@bellatheduck5822]

Beautiful ;) I'm an Aquarius.

[@sydneyiskara]

This is probably my favorite picture of Regina. And one of my favorite songs, as well.

[@Bulletzen1000]

That was...fantastic. It really moved me.

[@larasoto1991]

breaks the limits of beauty...

[@giraffe314]

i love this picture of her.

[@Ebocherry]

you just took those words right out of my mouth

[@CassiopeiaCharon]

incredibly beautiful !

[@soonstarryskies]

Aww. I love this song, maybe because i can... well, everyone can... relate so well to this song. Hmmm....I wonder if the water signifies emotions, ice as emotionless, because those are the traits of an Aquarius. She's saying she's not good at figuring out her emotions, but she's learnt to be in love, and has fallen as far in it as anybody ever could... Maybe its just me.

[@kaiyadiestler9907]

It makes me so sad they won't put this on Spotify it's one of her best songs

[@NeonAcrylics]

Sagittarus.. and this is still amazing.

[@diaargh]

I AM STILL CRYING LISTENING TO THIS

[@aryarainflower]

I LOVE this song!!! Thank you so much for posting it!!! ^^ ^^ ^^

[@AnthonyMinsky]

@NeONh8 YES!!!! The whole entire thing is great!!! What a great non-published song. She just has this on a shelf just waiting. I think she has about 70 songs just waiting. She's such a music prize. She's just a brilliant little relief in such a dark world we live in.

[@alicepotter777]

i know how you feel man... when i connect a movie or book or a personal experience to one of her songs and in my mind it was born to be that way :)

[@greynezz]

this is so beautiful. genius

[@jorgeo23]

this song is absolutey incredible.

[@nighthawknyx]

wow..... ive been a fan of hers for a while, but i just found this.... and.... just wow. Ive replayed it a couple of times now.... oh well. *replays again* thank you so much for uploading. :)

[@kaylalalajayy]

shes so pretty. i lovelovelove her music.

[@Nemo9291]

@Lilyfloss As an Aquarian, i must say i admire Aries. They just have so much energy, never afraid to voice their opinions, sincere (which means so much to me). Be yourself :-)

[@orbital151]

That picture is so very perfect.

[@circlecircle00]

Regi, you're a skillful everything.

[@AnthonyMinsky]

Wo, my daughter is also Feb 27. You've always been a good source of Regina stuff. Thank you very much ricky!!

[@HinataKitsune14]

Wow...this song is very beautiful. I'm an Aquarian who is into astrology as well and I can definitely say that it captures the the essence of the sign quite well.

[@AnthonyMinsky]

I'm a 46 year old man, just had a grandson, worked in construction all my life and I am proud to be a raging Regina Spektor fanatic!! :)

@@woolycooly9595 thanks for the reminder. Still alive though. And I don’t look a day older 😁. Hey, you’re a 13 year old Regina fan, that’s cool.

[@gbrpompeyrespekt6]

Thanks for everything, happy birthday Regina X GBR X

[@TheEagerMcBeaver]

This is a very nice song to listen to. I usually do not have the time to pay attention to the meaning of the lyrics, but that is all right because the song itself has a very relaxing melody and Regina Spektor has a very nice sounding voice as well.

[@Roodlepops]

Love that picture =)

[@TheBina737]

I always picture Eridan singing this song while sitting somewhere in the veil, right after he kills Feferi. The person watching from the shadows is Gamzee, and Eridan is just thinking about what he's done. It fits together so perfectly in my mind.

[@TheFalconSun1986]

Thank you for the intensely beautiful song, love from an other aquarius.

[@000Yasmine000]

somehow this song is just perfect

[@JavaLavaIce]

I totally relate to this song.

[@Yamat0man]

love the lyrics

[@jewelinthedesert]

Rain makes everything better.

[@MalissaVieira]

Yes! this also reminds me of rain. In the summertime with rubber boots and the trees up and down the street making pattering noises and all the plants covered in crystalline droplets. And I, too, am an Aquarius, and consider myself eccentric and humanitarian! lol

[@GoldaLeah16]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@XxCuriousBananaxX]

yay! Feb 16th!! great song and a bigger plus for aquarius

[@andysanchez1]

That’s a real pretty song

[@PavlovsStepson]

Great song, thanks for posting it. I love how she goes waaaay out of tune in the middle, then apologizes for it! As far as I know, this is the highest-quality recording available of this song.

[@Durrake]

Music is subjective, I think the water she never learned to carry was a metaphor for relationships. The tighter you clench, the more you lose. I don't think this song has anything to do with astrology

[@Kakashigirl250]

+Durrake That's beautiful, I like your interpretation, I'll always think of it now. Thanks!

[@Kakashigirl250]

Springtrap Waffles It's funny tho she doesn't believe in astrology lol

[@sfield86]

My momma told me this analogy as a teenager. If you hold on too tightly you squeeze it out of your hand, and if you hold it too loosely, it will just fall between your fingers. Throughout my teens and 20s I noticed that it was a perfect analogy :)

[@DebraBakerls]

It's not about astrology but it makes a great metaphor because it's wild how well it matches up with astrology

[@ethanielterratits]

woe. that was amazing! great finishing line. def one worth remembering. so good i though id comment ;)

[@Russianhools1]

Wow, it shouldn't freak you out:) You must be very happy)

[@TheRealDavlion]

I guess to sum it up, She realizes that no matter how much she accomplishes or how hard she falls, if she loves herself and uses love for what she does for others, then thats all that matters in the end. It's a beautiful song :) and the raw emotion in this song and the way she cries in this definitely something you can feel, magical.

[@ReallyDeepTh0ughts]

It's so damn beautiful this song... I myself am an Aquarius, and so is a certain someone i care very much about. right now this song just makes me think of him and all the things i'd like to tell him but don't know how... "I'm not a skillful water carrier but I've learned to carry love" Bittersweet.

[@BeeTheBird]

haunting lyrics best Ive ever heard
