Regina Spektor - A Cannon (Studio Demo)

[@nylam4035]

I've replayed it once I've replayed it twice I've replayed millions and millions of times

[@zoilalulu3798]

Lmao, me too! 😂😂

[@danielle.rebelle]

Regina is so many characters. Her life is just full of characters, situations, and imagery. The way she expresses it in her music, through sound, is so serene. I love how many of her songs, she sounds she's so youthful. It makes my heart melt :)

[@SchnookiePena]

I'm guessing 30% of her fan base is obsessed with her (easy), myself included.

[@anniethesponge]

slicknick1986,you are truly awesome thank you so much for all the AMAZING regina spektor songs i love you and her....lots... great song!!fantastic again...xxx

[@chickenoddle]

Regina inspires me. when I stat listening to her music, my imagination goes crazy and I begin to write :D thank you Regina. you have helped me thru some of the toughest writers blocks!

[@allisabaggins]

Still my fave💛

[@zzzcocopepe]

UGH. Why is EVERYTHING she does, why is always genius? Maybe that's narcissistic of me. Because half of this song is things I have thought. But it's things that NOBODY says. I've meant them both I cant so I wont Be like the water being woke and then the lipstick line, it's like it's something I didn't know I've thought, or she put it into words what I've felt. It's just so good to feel validated.

[@kevs97]

I got a new Canon camera today and I'm highly considering naming it Regina!

[@tolyroget]

I super agree with you on that name!! "Regina" means "queen", so you can be the queen of pictures with it :) (I now think that if I get a Canon myself one day, I'll do the same as you :) ) I always name my favourite objects, like my guitar or my bike.

[@kevs97]

Tolý Яogêt sorry for the late reply :P yeah, I totally named my guitar and other cameras as well hahaa

[@tortis6342]

Tolý Яogêt I name my electronics. My phone is Consivius, my computer is Shantorian, and the last one was Orunmila.

[@valerievanmol9305]

One of my favorites too! Unique kind of poetry...

[@gibberconfirm166]

I can't believe it's not even on that unreleased album the Icelandic guy put together (which is one of her best albums,) had to download it as .mp3.

[@littlerainworm550]

wooohooo I was looking for this song very long time!!!! I was afraid that somebody has deleted this from youtube...I am so happy!!!

[@oopssuedaisy]

Regina's beauty speaks for itself.

[@j4zz78]

I love this song. I seriously cannot stop listening to it-it's so addicting.

[@ceruleanSantos]

I love this song! It's always been one of my favorites because it is so poetic. :)

[@pomdapirouge]

Aw, waw, this is quite a song! I love the dreamy dimension to it

[@lukeclarke9180]

I see you on every regina song and I absolutely love your "Songs" playlist!

[@roxoagonia]

Regina is a really good singer/composer/writter (: i totally love her...yesterday i was a bit sad cause of some problems and i just inclueded her on my playlist, when i listened to this song i just smiled (:...its beautiful the power that her voice and even she has (:...great woman :P (btw the beggining of this music makes me remember Claude Debussy ^^)

[@yeahyeahyeahLOVE]

Bare feet on the cobblestones street Then a beach Then a splash Then my ankles My knees Then my thighs And my eyes open-wide I threw myself right into the seaaaaaaa

[@BalanceecnalaB]

god I love this song!

[@representationmetaphorique]

dear dear slick Nick, it's been nearly a decade since you uploaded, but I am dying to know how you got these

[@kpacubo.]

DAMN it's been a decade

[@cllauchlan]

Around 2004 there was a site Spektography, or something to that effect, that shared live versions and demos of Regina's songs, especially rarities.Supposedly Regina was fine with them being shared. I have no idea if the site still exists or how legal any of this was, but that's where all these versions come from.

[@representationmetaphorique]

cllauchlan that’s sick !!!

[@woolycooly9595]

i was only 1 when they uploaded this and it makes me feel nostalgic listening to these

[@boredxbritt]

never thought about that buts it's so true! It makes complete sense, don't worry. This is one of my favorite songs of hers too :P I like braille too and all the rowboats.

[@ImaNartist1]

the intro sounds Debussy-esque

[@shuttersclosed]

I found it already :) after a while i remembered it's title, thanks anyway! :)

[@softbagel14]

@ImaNartist1 Thats what I thought! The first time I heard the intro I thought it was some bit of Reflets dans l'eau by Debussy. I believe Reflets dans l'eau means "reflections in the water" and, coincidentally, sounds like a boat going over the waves in an ocean. Very pretty. ;D

[@Crusader38]

OMG I LOVE HER!!!!!

[@rad941205]

@gomesleh omg, serious? wow. imagine the amazingness? the possibilities are endless! wow. just thinking about them makes me slitghtly high - lol x

[@InterplanetJanet77]

This song kicks so much ass.

[@Kuraushi]

this song really has character. it's cute ha

[@disney1rules]

Oh Regina, how i long to know what you were really saying!

[@23Allie23]

Love this song! thx again!

[@xxxxxxxxKatexxxxxxxx]

Lol.. I love how so many of her songs have no dislikes on KZbin :)

[@net28573]

People who dislike misclicked.

[@CHRISMAN105]

awesome video!!!

[@NicAlba]

@gomesleh my goodness! 700 songs! How does she remember them all? She needs to hurry up and record them! I hope she does :)

[@bubblegumm27]

I hate to be so particular, but this song is actually called "Canon" with just one N. I love this song though! I must have listened to this hundreds of times!

[@AliciaBaldelli]

:) My heart eats beats--ssss love love love

[@klaaren123]

Exactly my thoughts

[@oldsmelly911]

@Lilyfloss i don't think there is a bad way to be obsessed with her!

[@ceruleanSantos]

Regina Spektor is only one of the best singer-songwriters out there. If you like her song "The Call," check out her newest album "Begin To Hope" with her number one single- Fidelity. If you're really interested, check out all her albums. If your a dedicated fan like i am, check out all her 132 songs (most of them unreleased) on respektonline (good site). But if you like the song "The Call" I highly suggest looking up her unreleased song "One More Time With Feeling" on youtube. It's even better!

[@ThsBehaviorsNtUnique]

People, be like the water!

[@Poet2916]

I hope this is on her new album.

[@lori9885]

I think this song is perfect for Bella Baxter from Poor Things. Amazing book and song!

[@royalicecream]

somebody has got to tell all the people to be like the water

[@shuttersclosed]

just like the movies ; ) it reminds me of somebody nice ; )

[@mishuga]

@xxxRiceyxxx it sure sounds to me like "yea, I know whatchyou want" over and over again.

[@tortis6342]

When she says "slipped on my dress" i totally thought she had tripped over the hem of her dress the first time i heard this song.

[@woolycooly9595]

same!

[@MrsFooFoo]

@shuttersclosed Could it be: Anthems of the 80's ? It's by Regina, but is this song you're after not one of Regina's?

[@littlerainworm550]

@gomesleh I want to hear all of them till I die.

[@taoinmotion]

Shuttersclosed I think you're talking about the "Somedays" video

[@adamsteinberg2381]

You'll never get what you want

[@SchnookiePena]

Hee hee! Clouds are made of water @ericaterrestrial.

[@Sc0t0ma]

...you're right, it's a cannon

[@shuttersclosed]

does anybody know this song of her that used to be on youtube, with a kinda homemade video with a pretty girl in it.. (not regina).. i can remember very little about it, but i remember finding it a wonderful song.. i forgot the title and i can't find it anywhere.. her voice has very much vibration and she sings a lot of strange words.. can anybody please tell me the name of the song?

[@ArsGratiaArtis87]

@shuttersclosed Could it be "Dance Anthem of the 80s"?

[@justforthesparks]

@gomesleh why arent they ALL on youtube?!!!!

[@jackspraker3542]

i think there is a bad way to be obsessed with her. You think she's perfect, and i do too,

[@bunnies19v]

i love this song and regina so much!!!

[@woolycooly9595]

:)

[@woolycooly9595]

i watched your video

[@afaintline]

this reminds be of pirates of the carribean. the first movie. O_o I lovvee thsi song though.

[@182emmeline]

@shuttersclosed Dance Anthem of the 80s?

[@stinkebones]

why is this song not on an album?

[@x2complex4u]

where can i download this song? ive been looking for it everywhere!

[@ImaNartist1]

I think the whispers are meant to be inaudible... no point in deciphering them lol

[@tortis6342]

They’re in Russian I think. There are some not English sounds in there.

[@Poet2916]

I wish I knew what she was whispering xD

[@emilyunderscoremarie]

by "when i wear lipstick then no one understands me at all" maybe she means when she's in love she can never say quite how she feels? that's just one interpretation though

[@Vmole1]

I think it's referring to the tendency to focus on or judge a woman through the viewer's subjective response to her physical appearance or sexuality, when it's visually emphasized, and not seeing deeper into her emotional and intellectual reality.

[@danielle.rebelle]

But the you would be one-armed Regina! and that'd be super silly.

[@breaca020]

Where can this song be downloaded from?

[@AnonymousFreakazoid]

What was the title? I'd like to see it! :)

[@vikigirl14997]

She's mine too :)

[@matthewsetlak5589]

I think she's whispering in Russian or gibberish.

[@reginaspanties]

well i only hear joanna joanna joanna....

[@onthewalkoffame]

I always thought it was 'her name is joanna' then gibberish haha.

[@agent24]

Any kind of parallel you can draw at all? I mean, forget having a baseless argument, it's not really an argument at all without any supports.

[@fillXinXblankXstares]

yeah the piano chords sound kind of nautical... if piano chords can sound that way haha! :) it's a beautiful song!

[@nesterness]

Which would mean she/he wouldn't be able to play Regina's art to well... She/He wouldn't even be able to play "A Lesson in How Fleeting Preservation Is"!! :) Hello and Goodbye!

[@agent24]

You're obviously trying to incite fans of Spektor, but I thought maybe you found some real similarities.

[@emilyunderscoremarie]

is this song about suicide?

[@agent24]

How so? I highly doubt it since she doesn't write the kind of pathetic lyrics MCR does

[@woolycooly9595]
