Loveology - Regina Spektor with the National Symphony Orchestra | LIVE at The Kennedy Center

[@ellenm4762]

It's really nice to see so many people expressing their love for this song considering we were all listening to the same bad quality audio track with clanging dishes and audience chattering. So many of Regina's songs came to me that way. In high school 15 years ago my ipod was full of those tracks. I can't say that about many other artists.

[@milk.butcher]

literally the same. the one with the person who claps a bit too soon at the end.

[@geriperiberi]

this and Bartender tbh

[@Forelsket4]

I didn’t even want to listen to this version.. I feel like the old crappy records will always hold a special place in my heart. Especially when it comes to loveology. It’s my favourite song of hers. The way her voice cracks at the end always moves me to tears

[@steph895]

This is the same for me also. It's such a special and quite innocent memory of my teenage years. I'm glad there are people here I can share it with :)

[@thankyouforflossing]

Does anyone know where I can find these old recordings??? I used to have so many but lost them all when my computer crashed.

[@TaliesinEvitel]

I still hear every single clatter of glass, cough, laugh and clap from the croud in their correct places. To hear this properly recorded is a gift I never thought I'd have. I wept. Thank you

[@mirandalung1526]

she announced a new album yesterday and this song is in the track listing :)

[@orinyoutubes]

😢

[@sharkattack5102]

I'm so used to that laugh from that lady in the crowd after "porcupine-ology" that its odd without it 😅 I ♥️ this, thank you Regina

[@deboraramalho9621]

I love her. I named my daughter Regina after her. She saved me (both Reginas, Spektor and my daughter). Thank you! I wish i could hug her and all her fans and say to you all "you're great and perfect exactly the way you are".

[@darkmanawenuz]

I loved to read this, i feel like she is saving me at this moment.

[@deboraramalho9621]

@@darkmanawenuz I don't know you and I know nothing about your struggles, but I feel happy that this amazing song can bring some joy and peace to you, as it does to me. She really helped me when I was in crippling grief after the loss of my beloved dad and my youngest brother.

[@darkmanawenuz]

@@deboraramalho9621 Oh, my condolences. I am so glad to know that everything can be overcome with good music and serenity. Each day will be better.

[@Anko6theAnimator]

This is easily one of my favourite Regina Spektor songs, I'm totally thrilled she's developing it further like this!! Really hoping she'll consider making a studio version of it, especially since this version sounds so much more like her newer material with the orchestra backing. Love you forever Regina! 💚💚💚

[@robertbensonusa]

This is so good, that I am having difficulty breathing, forgivemecology.

[@phs9452]

this beautiful song brings on massive amounts of tear-ology

[@albablabla]

God how is she human

[@sjustinterry]

I got to meet her after a concert at the Chicago Theatre years ago. I told her this was my favorite song and she told me that is so sad... I don't remember how to play it anymore. I can't describe how this just made me feel. Wow.

[@adellexmiles3155]

Well its released now!

[@Mollymauking]

this comment makes me really emotional. i can’t describe it, it’s just really profound to me.

[@expressrobkill]

I remember tweeting her the original, she said she would record it one day, and i think she got a comment in a q&a about it, so i think she herd her fans wanted it and delivered.

[@Smileater]

I think she said "thats is so sad" because the song is musically beautiful, but the message and context is 'you have hurt your loved one and you are most likely going to lose them'

[@digitalsalsas]

2009? (Maybe spring 2010? Can’t remember exactly, she was wearing blue … ) I was there in the alleyway after that Chicago theatre show in a soviet kitsch military hat. She let me hug her and recorded an audio message on my phone for a friend… memmmmooorrriiieeesss

[@meriahkulikovskyi9821]

Such a stunning song. I fell in love with it years ago and even sang it to my husband at our wedding. What a gift this recording is ❤️

[@juanthi3745]

Can't wait to listen to this song in her new album 💔

[@steph895]

I used to sit at my Mum's old desktop and collect up all the poor quality audience recordings I could find. The quality didn't matter to me. Each of her songs felt like uncovering a treasure. I'd create a Songs & 11:11 album for myself from random shares I could find. Soon those albums will be on Spotify!

[@mellisahill2487]

Who knew our hearts were about to drop starting with some porcupineology.

[@kkowskii]

We finally get a studio version!

[@michellechee7890]

I broke up with my first boyfriend and was hanging out at mcDonalds with another guy friend and listened to the original audio of this song a second time and laughed at the "-ology" part. That was 10 years ago. Memories

[@selgeaus]

Probably the best live performer in the modern pop/alternative genre

[@proptosis2682]

selgeaus 100% agree and I've seen SO many performances

[@jannashaftan3934]

I adore this song. 3:50 on.. Wow, yup we were listening to the low fidelity (ha) audio recording through our teen years. Now we get a live orchestra.

[@ifinditamazing]

The pure joy on her face hearing the orchestra with this! I can't believe I've been listening to the other live version for so long when this exists.

Does anyone know where I can find the Seth Meyers version of this song?
