the part in 500 days of summer that is reality vs expectation... makes me cry so much because I've been there and I've felt like tom......and regina's song perfectly describes that feeling....

[@johnmg8201]

It's my all-time favorite movie. I wish i watched it 11 years ago tho. but I doubt my 2nd grade brain would understand the movie.

[@shubhamvats6920]

You are not alone my brother . Same feelings same pain same Tom But this time from India .

[@squalls8713]

Holy son of a God.. I've been there too.. what became so bad, the fact that it was happened few months later after i've watched this movie.. Then when I saw this movie once again, man.. So Tom's tears were true...

[@DrAwesome2570]

@@squalls8713 i think you studs missed the point of that whole movie

[@squalls8713]

@@DrAwesome2570 I mean at this scene.. not the whole movie.. But yeah in the end i've found "Autumn" too..

[@TheEdenEye]

She sounds almost identical to the album version. A sign of someone who can actually sing, and really well.

So different than her shows now! A cheap keyboard, a dinner table chair and a milk crate. It's crazy! I love Regina Spektor.

[@mariahspapaya]

This song always makes me really emotional for some reason it's hard to listen to

[@timup5744]

спасибо фильму 500 дней лета за то, что познакомили меня с этой девушкой и ее прекрасными песнями!

[@Suaru]

wow....she had the song written from this long ago..

[@silvia6770]

"I'm the hero of this story, don't need to be saved." breathtaken line

Anyone from 2020? This song is so sad!

[@rowenmarkm.valdez7024]

My tears run down my face on this song while watching the near end of 500 days of summer 💔 my empathy to the guy is too emotional 😭

[@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce]

Same here. I identify with Tom (the main character in 500 Days of Summer) a lot, even if that's not a good thing, and that made me shed a lot of manly tears.

[@niteshvishwakarma690]

What an artist!

[@ganstabraidy]

Absolutely superb. Regina's voice is fantastic and the bass and cello muscians were on point! This is the kind of video that makes me wish the 5 star ratings were around just to give it full stars!!!

[@markk9175]

She is wonderful

[@piratchick97]

I definitely love the other musicians, esp. the cellist in this piece. She's amazing, that goes without saying so. This song is so sad and has so much emotion, it does almost sound like a cry for help. Wow.

[@MCREDDIEPANTS]

THIS IS A FREAKING BEAUTIFUL SONG

[@confusedtrees]

[@tidalboxer]

Thanks for these. I was looking for some really early recordings like this when she did her NYC gigs before she made her first album. I know she burned lots of her own CD and circulated them. I’m curious what other songs there are on them I haven’t heard.

"Tom walked to her apartment, intoxicated by the promise of the evening. He believed that this time his expectations would align with reality..." an old wise narator idk who😅
