HUSBAND REACTS to Regina Spektor - Eet FOR FIRST TIME (Beware: EMOTIONAL) | COUPLE REACTION

[@meghanmonroe]

In his defense, even Regina's happiest songs are tinged with just a bit of melancholy. The sound and the lyrics. That's one of the things that first drew me to her music. How about "Chemo Limo"?

[@bwil1000]

Regina Spektor is so painfully cute & adorable I can't take it.

[@NicknLex]

I agree!! - Lex

[@B_kinda]

I remember seeing her open for Dresden Dolls back in 04 at a tiny club when I was 18. She played “Poor Little Rich Boy” with one hand on the piano and keeping time with a drum stick in the other. Thought that was cool as hell. Don’t know if I would have gotten into her before that. Checked out her first album and song with the strokes. I was like alright, I hear you ❤️ I like the weird stuff.

[@martinliv]

Regina Spektor is gold. I've heard that she has never written her lyrics down, so each performance could be different lyrically, but amazingly. Saw her at the House of Blues in Dallas in the mid 2000s. What an amazing show.

[@martinliv]

Blue on the same album has this one perfect note (you'll know which one) that gets me in that same spot Nick mentions.

[@rajdeepkromchengurung1019]

Please do more Regina Spektor, the OG AntiFolk Regina songs from her first album : Rejazz Buildings Pavlov’s Daughter Back of a head

[@wallyboyd]

I got to see her live at a small show, and she was amazing and her personality was adorable. She reminds me more of Kate Bush than Björk

[@distant_sounds]

I remember watching the first ep of Orange is the New Black and having one of those, "Wait a minute!" moments when the theme song started playing. "I know this voice..."

[@kennethschreyer2527]

You made my day with this song She has a remarkable voice and an Amazing ability to change Pitch and Octaves seamlessly. A unique musical artist who I will certainly check out further !!! Thank you for sharing and reacting. Love You Both Ken

[@BostwickIII]

I don’t know about high notes specifically but I can assure you Regina gets into my soul every time.

[@helgebrandt9062]

I love rock hard rock and metall. But Regina gets me with every song she did. Had the pleasure to see her in concert in Berlin. Now I leave you along because i have to see her in The London Concert on DVD. Again. Thats your fault.

[@robertaxel]

Regina is a genius songwriter and great performer...

[@markdrechsler5660]

Regina is great. From this album, you should play “Human of the Year” or “The Calculation” next for Nick.

[@NicknLex]

Great ones!!

[@meghanmonroe]

I second the vote for "Human of the Year"!

[@phoenixshade3]

"Human of the Year" is sometimes my favorite song on earth, to the extent that calling something a "favorite song" makes any sense at all. And Nick will cry about beeping cars, if this video is any indication.

[@dorarie3167]

Other Regina Spector songs to enjoy include ‘Us’ and ‘Samson’.

[@NicknLex]

Samson was the first song I ever heard of hers. I was hooked immediately!!

[@dorarie3167]

@@NicknLex It’s so beautifully sad.

[@avantprog6902]

Ok, this is my first time hearing this. I'm getting this emo angst contrasted with soaring positivity. A dicotomy. Interesting.

[@RGRG3232]

Bjork is from Iceland. If you choose to listen I'd recommend "Come To Me" or "Isobel" (not the original version one but the one from the remix album (the one with the blue cover - trust me on this one)).

[@puzzmann]

She also did some good work with the SugarCubes before going solo, The Songs "Birthday" is classic

[@Divedown_25]

Never heard Regina Spector before🥂. Every day something new and beautiful. Her voice is so fragile and will defintely check her out. Straight up my good feeling alley.

[@NicknLex]

She’s so great and so versatile!! I’d start with her older stuff. The album Fidelity is awesome! (They all are really, but my first was that one)

[@michelemichele3375]

I love Regina ... and Bjork too! Great change-up, palate cleanser. Lol. Thanks! 🤪

[@robbyrob0723]

Both of you have great taste in music!

[@TheMoosebreath24]

Great song! I've enjoyed Regina for several years now. Our daughter turned us on to her. Thanks for sharing.

[@AleXander-uf2dm]

Como muchos, sigo esperando que sigan con el Rock Argentino que venian reaccionando y por esto me suscribí a su canal. Me encantá sus reacciones a Dream Theater, Rush y varios genios más del rock progresivo y metal anglosajón, pero se van a seguir sorprendiendo si le dan una oportunidad a Serú Girán, otras bandas de Charly Garcia, Spinetta, Pappo, o un power trio como Divididos q poco y nada tiene que envidiarle a Rush por ejemplo. Seguiré esperando, gracias y saludos🤘🇦🇷💪😷

[@NicknLex]

Cómo Alexia esta estudiando no hemos tenido el tiempo de grabar más. Pero pronto!! Todos estos videos son ya de hace 2-3 semanas. Pronto sigue génesis de soda y más!!

[@kevinmarsh8922]

I would like you to try "Take a Pebble" by Emerson Lake and Palmer, Great piano.

[@aidanoreilly6948]

It’s funny, I love a lot of the other music you’ve covered on here, like Zeppelin, Rush, and many more - and I am totally on board with Regina Spector, too! She is so damn good it’s almost silly. Thank you for this! I hope you do more of her songs!

[@cometogether999]

I've heard only a couple songs by her, but I thought I'd give this a try. If you like this, do you like Tori Amos? "Cornflake Girl" might be a good place to start.

[@snowdog87]

Alot of Tori Amos influence here You might listen to Tori's song "Winter"...gorgeous Great job guys

[@driedautumnleaf]

Love Regina Spektor! Thanks for the reaction :) Far has a lot of great tracks in it

[@omi4470]

Please react to "Fly with Me" by Elisa Rosselli (Album)

[@sethleon2158]

I am thinking you guys might enjoy exploring the music of Tori Amos. I'm a Jazz & Prog rock guy, but Tori's music just hits me so hard, like very few can. Tori is piano prodigy, really interesting as a composer, integrates her voice and breath with the piano in a unique way, has an improvisational quality that she brings to each performance, and is also gifted at covering the music of others in different genres (led zepplin, nirvana, et...). Also an interesting song writer. Check out some of youtube performances there are loads. If you like that maybe checkout something from 'Boys for Pele' an album she produced, where she plays harpsichord, and incorporates horns and a selection of really varied songs. Just a really unique, and gifted artist.

[@cometogether999]

I've heard she's amazing live.

[@sethleon2158]

@@cometogether999 I think so. She makes old songs fresh with her approach to performance, and rarely have I seen her less than completely engaged and present live. She takes criticism for what can seem to be overt sexuality in the mannerisms she displays connecting with the audience. One of her heroes was Robert Plant, and you don't see that type criticsim leveled at male fronts, so I don't find it fair-minded. She is no doubt idiosynctatic/quirkly/unique, but I find her performance style spell-binding, expressing what is running through her in communion with her piano and audience. Maybe I am under her spell, but I can't get enough of her live performances, especially 2003 and prior.

[@puzzmann]

Yes, Tori is iconoclastic, when she did what the record company told her to do she flopped, so then she did what she wanted and became a legend

[@crazydale1000]

You two are the only reviewers on Utube that are willing to push some musical boundries past the norm. I love your channel. How about introducing some Snarky Puppy. Something with Lalah Hathaway.

[@rayhutchinson640]

I love her "The Genius Next Door" but, then again, I also love Bjork! (and Poppy!)

[@queenpattsy]

Nick, I love how high female vocals get to you! I'm easily and equally moved to tears as well. I do have a must listen for you because of this and that is Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. I'm actually not sure you could survive it!!! It's very high and very beautiful. I dare you to listen to it! : D Oh---and I will also recommend Don't Give Up---by Peter Gabriel featuring Kate Bush. I think both of their vocals will truly move you.

[@avantprog6902]

I’ve listened to this song pretty much since it came out and I’m pretty sure it’s not a happy one lol, but love the reaction tho!!!!

[@GT.Bugger]

She has a beautiful voice and this song always make the hairs on my arms stand on end. I was lucky enough to see her live once a few years ago. Was amazing.

[@toowarmtoohot]

Regina is a furious spark in a dim room that died out when everyone turned to look

[@puzzmann]

Love the song and the performance. Feels almost intimate. I have the same reaction as your husband to the minor chords in music and that heartstrings pulled feeling with certain performers. In the prog realm you'd want to include Tori Amos, Natalie Merchant, Kate Bush, and many more. My kryptonite; though, is Tracy Chapman, one note and the tears form in the corners of my eyes, she could be singing the Star Spangled Banner and I'd still weep. But it also makes it harder to listen often, it can be too much, overwhelming But I think I'm going to look into Regina some more, I know I've heard her voice in tracks used in movies or TV

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

I love Regina, RIP Dan Cho never forgotten xx

[@loriwhite8501]

I've seen her in concert 3 times. She's amazing

[@avantprog6902]

Check out ' The Light Before We Land', it packs a wolup.

[@phoenixshade3]

I absolutely fell in love with her music at first listen. It still never gets old to me. I _wish_ someone had captured my first reaction to hearing her. (I think the first thing I heard was the alternate version of 'Better"). I immediately went to see her in concert on the 2006 True Colors tour. Lots of great talent at that show including Cyndi Lauper and the B-52s, but I went just for her. I say that her music has a kind of restrained optimism. By the way, suggestion in the "weird" spectrum: singer/harpist Joanna Newsom. Start with the song '81 and the whole _Have One On Me_ album to ease into her voice. It takes getting used to but she has incredible musical and songwriting talent.

[@cellfractionation]

Yes Joanna Newsom! But I would recommend any song from her album Ys. Especially Only Skin and Cosmia. Also, maybe Fiona Apple is in some ways similar to Regina Spektor? Very nice voice, with an airy upper range and a full lower range. They are both great songwriters and are emotional, relatable, etc. When the Pawn... is an excellent album.

[@phoenixshade3]

@@cellfractionation Also Natalia Lafourcade if you understand Spanish. She has Regina Spektor/Lily Allen vibes. +1 for Fiona Apple too. No filler on her albums.

[@cellfractionation]

@@phoenixshade3 I have listened to her work. She is amazing as well

[@cellfractionation]

@@phoenixshade3 yes!! No fillers! Exactly what I wanted to say! What else do you listen to, my friend?

[@phoenixshade3]

@@cellfractionation I would say my tastes are very eclectic, with a focus on 80s post-punk (Siouxsie and the Banshees is among my all-time favs), 90s alternative, 00s nu-metal... I don't know what to call a lot of the music I listen to other than "avante garde," because it breaks old genres and defines new ones. But I have always had a soft spot for female vocals in just about any genre. Tori Amos, Kate Bush, The Pretenders, etc. Also big on classical from Mozart forward, classic jazz (not a fan of most new jazz), hip-hop and rap with a soulful message, like De La Soul, Arrested Development, or Flobots...

[@jameszwahlen4299]

She has a very unique and beautiful voice which I enjoyed, but her voice (breathing?) gets thin in the upper register. Very artistic but not the best technically.

[@thiagowwz]

even preferring some musics over some others, her whole discography is really beautiful and interesting.

[@garykrekelberg4383]

I'm definitely with Lexi. I've been a Regina fan for years although my wife doesn't get it. She's probably #2 on my play list next to Rush. Haha, both ends of the spectrum I know.

I love love love Regina Spektor

[@AnthonyMinsky]

Just hearing you talk. You love her like a real Regina fan. Which I am too :). It's a funny thing with Regina. Not everyone GETS her. But we, as fans, think everyone should GET her, because there is no one, and I mean NO ONE like her. The ones who do realize the genius she is don't understand why others don't see it. To me she's 100%. I love everything she does. From obsessed to at least really appreciate the hell out of. I really hope you react to her more on your site, because Regina Spektor is only one in a million. So rare. I can't compare to her anyone. And that has to be celebrated

[@davidgale7384]

So Lex.... We'll give him a female artist that won't necessarily set him off.. Molly Johnson Long Goodbye And Anita Baker Sweet Love

Joan Armatrading would do too. Love and Affection.... Guitarist and alto voice.

Es ist merkwürdig, wie MANN auf weibliche Stimmen reagiert, Regina Spektor hat eine schöne Stimme, aber irgendwie trifft es mich nicht ins Innerste.
