regina spektor - A Cooler Version Of Yourself (Live)

regina spektor - A Cooler Version Of Yourself (Live)
Recorded: 29th December 2003 The Living Room
Lyrics:
A cooler version of yourself
A cooler version of your dad
A crueler version in my mind
I pull away when you're inside
I pull away when you're inside
I pull away when you're inside
So young
And drunk
And young
And drunk
I lie down here until I die
I lie down here until I die, oh
So sorry, for telling stories
I'm so young
And drunk
And young
And drunk
I didn't know it'd be so boring
I fall asleep when you're inside
I fall asleep when you're inside
So young
And drunk
And young
And drunk
I fall asleep when you're inside
I fall asleep when you're inside
A cooler version of myself
A cooler version of my dad
A crueler version in my mind
I pull away when you're inside
I pull away when you're inside
I pull away when you're inside
I pull away when you're inside
I pull away when you're insiiiiii-iiiiiiiiiiiide
-Ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide, -ide
So young
And drunk
So young
And drunk
So young
And drunk
So young
And drunk

This was my defense against intrusive thoughts, so many years ago.

[@TheSpektography]

Regina was mine also, through many occasions. Many songs... I feel you.

[@digitalsalsas]

Yo I feel it too.. yo

[@thechurchofsolange58]

Oh my God she snores in her song! XD How many singers do that? I love her

[@memily33]

Why why why is there not a better recording of this?! Or at least one of her singing it. I love this woman way too much.

[@carrorro.0.9spektor75]

You are the coolest version of my self

[@123123sora]

Hey Spektography, there used to be a website that had a bunch of regina songs and it was listed in a way where you could see them by date and it was really cool bc i could find like old performances of all the rowboats for example and play them directly from the site, do you remember / knowwhat site it was by any chance? this was years ago so it could be down by now but i dont think it was reginasaurus and idk what it was

[@TheSpektography]

"Months before reginasaurus.net was even thought of, another Regina Spektor Database existed. It held practically every recording of Spektor one could want. One day the site disappeared without explanation, and tons of recordings went missing. We then created reginasaurus.net to preserve the works of Regina Spektor for years to come, And prevent precious recordings from going missing again" Taken directly from reginasaurus.net The old site no longer exists sorry.

[@TheSpektography]

I think the old site was respektonline.com but it was a very long time ago...

@@TheSpektography i did some digging and found an archived page that says this Dear RespetkOnline Users, The contract to host the existing version of RespektOnline expires on April 1st of this year, and the RSO team decided to take this as an opportunity to rebuild the site with a more user-centric focus. Our vision is of a community where anyone can post content of any sort, be it audio, video, or even concert reviews, and have all the content be organized, easily sortable, and searchable. To that end, we are in the process of rewriting the site, and while we had hoped to keep the existing site online as long as possible during the transition, it seems that we have been forced to launch the new site prematurely. On behalf of the entire RSO team, I sincerely apologize for any content that you may be missing during the transition, and we hope to improve the situation each day while we work throughout the month to bring the new site fully online. We appreciate your patience, and hope that you will find the upcoming enhancements much-welcome additions to the site's functionality. Yours Truly, Aaron Eshbach and the RSO team.

@@TheSpektography from what i can gather after the above message was posted the domain contract expired and they just never paid for it again

agûesome

[@evamarimo]

what do you mean, 'her singing it', you mean live?! she IS singing it ;)

[@leo-ey8mn]

does anyone have a perspective on what this song means? I love it, but I can't make sense of it

[@giordkat]

+ink stains I'm pretty sure it's about having sex for the first time, based on the "young and drunk" and the "I fall asleep when you're inside". The "cooler version of yourself/dad/mind" thing is a little more abstract, but I think the song in general deals with the perceptions of sex that a younger woman or a teenage girl would have, vs the reality of how sex often is at that age -- boring, the other partner doesn't know what they're doing, etc.

[@leo-ey8mn]

+Kat Giordano That makes a lot of sense-thank you! I didn't expect anyone to respond since all the other comments are from forever ago :) what are your favorite regina spektor songs?

[@giordkat]

+ink stains Human of the Year, Carbon Monoxide, Loveology, and Chicken Song c: But it's so hard to choose. Ask me in a day and I'll have a different answer I'm sure. What about you?

[@leo-ey8mn]

+Kat Giordano Cool, I love the chicken song. I also change my favorites a lot...I feel like all her songs have a spot for a chapter in my life. I've recently gotten into the Devil Come to Bethlehem.

[@leo-ey8mn]

+ink stains I love all of those songs tho. How did you discover her?

[@digitalsalsas]

cooler like more cool or like temperature preserver ... a new take on an old classic : keep it cool bitches

[@imhighalways420]

This song reminds me of the way I used to disconnect from my body during my sex working days.

[@AnonymousAnonymous-xy9tz]

Feels like it's about rape. I pull away when you're inside. I lie down here until I die.

[@nevigator90]

Like another one of her songs maybe.. AB I think, where she sings about how she's such a klutz.?

[@laylaeasley8133]

The song “belt” is about abuse/rape i believe.

[@CraigMaxwell-gz3vw]

Sylvia Plath?…..
