Patron Saint by Regina Spektor

Another one of my absolute favorite from Regina. Thank you Regina for being so original. Wish you all the best!
Lyrics:
She's the kind of girl who'll smash herself down in the night
She's the kind of girl who'll fracture her mind till it's light
She'll break her own heart and you know she'll break your heart too
So darling, let go of her hand
She's been skipping days, spilling her drinks in the sink
and you know, she's never coming home--never coming home again
but when when when she open her eyes eyes eyes
beyond the chipping paint through the windowpane
lies lies lies
her patron saint, broken and lame
and absolutely insane for learning that true love exists
so darling, let go of her hand(x7)
you'll be to blame for playing this game
and learning that true love exists
She's the kind of girl who'll smash herself down in the night
She's the kind of girl who'll fracture her mind till it's light
She'll break her own heart and you know she'll break your heart too
So darling, let go of her hand(x2)
you'll be to blame for playing this game
and learning that true love exists
broken and lame
and learning that true love exist

For the past several years, I've slowly (and accidently) been accumulating Regina Songs... I have 80 so far. I think she just shits genius, and I envy her for that.

[@BOMBOVA]

when we are starved for her voice, we come here . . . regina, give us more until we explode.

[@meredithr9824]

She sings it better here than on the album.

[@soieatlizards9340]

Meredith Richardson I spent many years trying to track down this version. I got started on her demos, so there's many songs I feel that way about.

[@meredithr9824]

@@soieatlizards9340 well thanks for uploading this. ☺

[@soieatlizards9340]

​@@meredithr9824Listening to this song again, go to like your comment only to realize I've not only already liked it, but replied to it 4 years ago! 😂 I still feel the same! Her live versions and demos are the best!

[@expressrobkill]

@@soieatlizards9340tbh regina is better live than on the album. The album misses allot of her quirks. And sounds a little to doctored. She has an awesome voice.

[@AnthonyMinsky]

'Brrroken and lame', I melt at that part every time.

[@missmarimorgan]

she's everything I ever want to be when it comes to piano and singing. she is my freakin role model.

[@STHanson08]

I think this song is like about someone who is in love with some one ( and in wedlock or something) who isnt in love with them "you'll be to blame for playing this game and learning that true love exists" like shell remember you always, and patron saint, makes sense as in like your the one she learned from, or was blessed..

[@jackspraker3542]

The whole record What WE Saw from the Cheap Seats is so breathtaking. It's

[@23Allie23]

I love this song!!! I want to learn how to play it on the piano, but no one knows how to play it either lol

[@brokemebodily]

YAYYYYYY SO HAPPY ITS GOING TO BE ON THE NEW ALBUM!

[@alegna688]

I am familiar with everything Regina has released on CD, in addition to most of the songs she performs live (which is a ton), and out of all of them, this is one of my ultimate favorites!!! Thank you so much for posting it!! =)

[@jen4264]

That moment when you find yourself clapping along with the audience at the end.

[@giveyouthesun5220]

One of my favorites!!! Gosh I love all of her music so much

[@nguyenminh3051]

This song I got to said that its a phenomenal I never saw before its so amazing

[@AnthonyMinsky]

@mrcholas 'I really don't understand'. Great way to put it. Not being able to describe it is probably the only way TO describe it. It's not like you can compare it to anything else. And I have a feeling that that is the beauty of it.

[@maddiefacecupcake]

i second that motion.

[@BobbyM888]

love regina and this song :) one of my fav artists of all time!! :)

[@aryarainflower]

[@BlueMoonLightDreams]

OH MAN!!! i think it was somedays...just saw the video...very much matches what was in my memory, though now i am not sure, even it seem very familiar...maybe that is the video and i was mixing them with other art work from other music videos she has...wow thanks for your help...

[@TayWayWoo]

This is going to sound sick produced! So excited for her next album!

[@STHanson08]

she reminds me of Fiona Apple in this one.... I LOVE THEM BOTH XoXoXoX

@ogum536 Hey, there's sheet music available. It's in a Yahoo Groups group called "Regispek" (go to the Yahoo groups site and search for it). You have to become a member, but to do that you just sign in with a Yahoo ID, Facebook account or Google acount and hit join. It's under "files" then "other songs". :)

[@HarvestingThings]

[@amyjean9365]

This song is awesome. Love it :)

[@ChanaRules]

I prefer this version rather than the official album one.

[@HOOT4EVS]

@viv4evah DING DING DING we most definitely have a winner!...Well you and the person who commented above...but you were more specific and I didn't see their comment till just now :) Cyber-high five for relieving this giant source of frustration! Thank-you muchly!!

[@jackspraker3542]

I may be to blame for playing this game. She does spill her drinks in the sink. She isn't coming home. Not again.But

[@HOOT4EVS]

This has been killing me for weeks! - Does ANYONE know what the "do do do do do do do do do do" tune in this is from? I know I've heard it somewhere else - maybe a kids cartoon intro or something. Help me please :D

[@t8tertotsp]

it IS US!

[@royalicecream]

[@Graciefrance]

I love it :D

[@spitballz]

[@orbital151]

I'm 100% sure.

[@thelittleflame]

@BlueMoonLightDreams that s Somedays , but it s not her video, it s kinda home made by someone

[@zzzcocopepe]

i thought it said "don't" let go of her hand. I like it better my way lol

[@MNaranjoSandoval]

oh, the quality of this version is better than mine... do you know where can i get this version of the song?

[@orbital151]

She had 16 personalities, and there was amovie about her.

[@orbital151]

This song is about Sybil.

[@paigerr4971]

are you sure? is that your interpretation or did you find that somewhere? (not trying to be mean or anything, just curious)

[@swiminthissilense]

um since when has she been married? i know they did have a fling at one point! & omg i thought i was the only one who heard that song! kimya is a beautiful artist! i still dont agree with her relationship status

[@lakersstud354]

@HOOT4EVS I think it might be from george lopez show intro

[@xxxxxxxxKatexxxxxxxx]

@Lilyfloss Haha, no problem :)

[@t8tertotsp]

OBVIOUSLY, the video is "Us"

[@calarichi]
