This is how it works It feels a little worse Than when we drove our hearse Right through that screaming crowd While laughing up a storm Until we were just bone Until it got so warm That none of us could sleep And all the Styrofoam Began to melt away We tried to find some worms To aid in the decay But none of them were home Inside their catacomb A million ancient bees Began to sting our knees While we were on our knees Praying that disease Would leave the ones we love And never come again On the radio We heard November Rain That solo's really long But it's a pretty song We listened to it twice 'Cause the DJ was asleep This is how it works You're young until you're not You love until you don't You try until you can't You laugh until you cry You cry until you laugh And everyone must breathe Until their dying breath No, this is how it works You peer inside yourself You take the things you like And try to love the things you took And then you take that love you made And stick it into some Someone else's heart Pumping someone else's blood And walking arm in arm You hope it don't get harmed But even if it does You'll just do it all again And on the radio You hear November Rain That solo's awful long But it's a good refrain You listen to it twice 'Cause the DJ is asleep On the radio (Oh, oh, oh) On the radio On the radio, uh oh On the radio, uh oh On the radio, uh oh On the radio

This is how it works You're young until you're not You love until you don't You try until you can't You laugh until you cry You cry until you laugh And everyone must breathe Until their dying breath Those are more honest lyrics than any song I've ever heard. That is real life.

[@moralesriveraomar233]

Those are one of my favourite lyrics ever, it describes all possible lifes

[@maryreneereuter7226]

"No this is how it works. You peer inside yourself. You take the things you like, and try to love the things you took. And then you take that love you made and stick it into someone else's heart - pumping someone else's blood." That follow-up is important. While what precedes it is absolutely honest and and beautiful - the second part changes it. She says "No, this is how it works" If you're able to do more than survive, if you're able to somehow find beauty and passion on top that, you share it with other people. Which makes sense, given the music video and that her mom is a music teacher. When times are hard, laugh until you cry, cry until you laugh, and just keep breathing, it's all you have to do. But when times aren't hard - take the love you've found and share it with others.

[@isaacjamesbaker]

Golden words! They've stuck with me since i first bought this record

[@maryreneereuter7226]

I heard this song when I was 20 and first renting a room in a townhouse with my best friend, living on my own after experiencing a tragedy. I’m 32 now and still have yet to hear a better description of the human experience than these lyrics, from the surreal to the real to the emotional - it’s just accurate.

When she sings “ everyone must breathe until they’re dying breath” just makes me think about my parents and how I have so much time on this earth with my parents yet how little it is at the same time. Cherish your loved ones

This song meant a lot to me. It was part of my early relationship life. My eyes are wet now cus I just remembered who I used to be. When my love was pure and genuine. See, people are bound to break your heart but what we take out from the experiences goes a long way to shape our lives. I'm going to love again. I know I will.

[@Nutbelly123]

It will come when you least expect it tho good to nudge yourself into an activity of passion if you can :) Glad you remember how you love pure and genuine . If you love music maybe a dance class will let you unfold that love again . I found Argentine Tango classes at a local rec center when I felt similar to you in the most depressed lost and hopeless time at 38 now 43 . I always secretly wanted to dance with this old music and to my surprise it wanted to dance with me too . Now I can take classes and dance at milongas no matter if I'm sad or celebrating . Tango is always there for me even when I'm timid of my skills . The journey has introduced me to what I call my "tango family" of all ages from youth to 80 year old friends . Doing something cool for yourself will help you find that love again BBN . I know it will :)))

"A million ancient bees Began to sting our knees While we were on our knees Praying that disease Would leave the ones we love And never come again" So Regina's lyrics are doubly prescient - talking of the future as well as the past of all our inner lives. The magic is that her musicality and voice (oh her voice!) are the perfect vehicles for the words. So here we are, living at an awful time but one with many wonders in it. So lucky she is one of them.

This video made me cry because I'm thinking about the kids who participated. There are probably some in there that have loved and known music was their thing since they were even younger and this must have been so special for them to take part in. The things that stick with me are memories of people validating my love of art growing up, so no doubt for those kids this was and still is special to them. And for Regina too, as she has grown up learning music, having musical parents, and doing this video at her mother's school.
