8th Floor. The low quality live mp3 I used to listen to on my way to high school. Now I'm in my 30s and listening to this beautiful version (except I'm not on a school bus).

[@noveltynate]

me too

[@EchoLimaIndiaAlphaS]

I have been listening to the old camcorder version of this for the past 10 years. This is my favorite song ever and I had only heard that version and now there's this and I have so much love in my heart for everything, this song, and this fantastic woman.

[@chris_burrows]

Yep, this is huge, and the recent high fidelity recordings of Loveology holy shit.

[@jones.7235]

I can relate to all you wrote, Screw you, youtube. Except for the love of everything, sadly - but definitely to the love of this song and this fantastic woman. I don't know what it is about this song but it seems like it's still the greatest thing ever besides my daughter.

[@deboraramalho9621]

[@jeremybdman]

My darkest days have had this woman's voice lifting me out of it. There was Tori Amos and Regina Spektor.

[@TheSpektography]

[@tortis6342]

Yes, I love both of them! Also Emiliana Torrini and Suzanne Vega

[@chrisdemian4886]

Ok people. This is not a drill. This is really happening. Get yourself to NYC this week if you can ❤️❤️❤️

[@lunamothhh]

[@leonardopavini9405]

[@JorechDalc]

I can't believe I'm crying 😭 This song is really touching. Its meaning doesn't really have much to do with my life but I really feel it

[@Serialangel]

I always always come back to Regina Spektor's music. It's a gift

[@Pellejonsen]

Can't wait for this song to get released with an album

[@kx3419]

What a beautiful surprise. I love this amazing woman.

Lyrics: No one waits for her inside the house She spots a stranger in the mirror And the record spins her nearer To the outcome of her day You live inside the city You forget how tall the trees can get A bird sits on A branch across From my eighth floor window And you can't really say That it's an eighth floor branch 'Cause trees don't have floors And buildings do Восьмой этаж Восьмой этаж Все высоко Все под тобой Вот идет домой Карман пустой Хоть милостыню просите Три рубля на водку и буханку белого хлеба А теперь, наверное, все дороже И дорожки те забыты А над ними паруса Первый этаж Я маленькая Все высоко Все надо мной Восьмой этаж Америка Я высоко Все подо мной Я высоко... I came in from the rain which Wasn't really rain It was just January snow in denial And something must have gotten lost In the translation Russian to English And winter wasn't wintery today She comes into the house And no one waits for her inside the house She spots a stranger in the mirror And the record spins her nearer To the outcome of her day You live inside the city You forget how tall the trees can get A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window Translation: The eighth floor The eighth floor Everything's high Everything is below you Somebody is coming home Empty pocket You could go begging It's three rubles for vodka and a loaf of white bread But now, maybe, everything's more expensive And the old paths are forgotten Above them we set sail The first floor I'm really small Everything's high Everything is above me The eighth floor America I am high Everything is below me I am high...

[@miroslavhoudek7085]

I wonder if everything she does is always so touching. I've heard all the songs, been to a concert and I'm smiling and weeping a bit at all times. I imagine her life partner must wear some sort of tactical jacket with kleenexes ffs
