Hi dear friends - as a response to the absolutely overwhelming feedback the first fanmade album recieved, I made a second one, a continuation of that project. I actually made the album art (along with the tracklist, and initial ideas for the illustrations) back in 2018 - but I just could't find the time to finish the artworks and put it all together. But your numerous wonderful comments, that started appearing (mostly) this year, really gave me that final push. I loved reading every single one of them, they made my day and I was so happy, because that was the dream - to get it to the lovely fans who would appreciate it (because I truly believe that Regina Spektor has some of the kindest sweetest fanbase). So, this is my thanks to you, a little gift. I made the illustrations this fall during the #reginatober (art challenge that I held), you can view them all in full on my instagram / hyneksnajdr , sadly I had to crop them for youtube, some of them did really suffer from it.
So, as always, I made all the art, and I also tried my best to clean up the tracks (the live ones) and cut out the talking and venue sounds where I could - though I absolutely love the way Regina introduces the songs, so I actually felt really bad cutting those bits out haha - but I think it helps for the emersion and for it to feel like an actual album. Anyway, that is all from me I think, I hope you will enjoy this very much - I loved working on this.
(One final note, I decided to include the song Dead of Night, and some other songs that people missed on the last album, so I hope this will satisfy them - there are still some cool songs that didn't make the cut, like School Is Out, which I adore, but didn't really fit the story of it. For the title, I again borrowed a line from the song Aquarius this time, and I'd like to think that all the songs do share some similarities of either darkness, hope, but also kindness. Where there is dark, there is always light. Where there is hate, there is always love) This collection containes some of the songs I love the most, like The Virgin Queen, 8th Floor, AB, Dog and Pony, Cinderella... Which are yours favorite?
All songs were performed and belong to Regina Spektor. The live recordings belong to the people who took them and after that uploaded to youtube (for all of us to enjoy - thank you!)
Also Regina actually performed the beautiful song 8th Floor again in 2019, you can listen to it here: • Regina Spektor - "8th ... but for consistency sake, I decided to use the older recording instead.
Lot of the recordings used come from the Tonic in New York, and were provided/recorded by Henry L., I believe. The other batch of the songs are studio demos. If I forgot to credit anyone please let me know. Thank you!
