Regina Spektor - "Us" [OFFICIAL Video]

[@AviatrixDown]

Every 5 years I remember Regina Spektor exists and pour one out to my broken teenage heart.

On the radio, has an ear worm that has a rent free place in my head. Right next to Dixie flyer, Randy Newman and guitar gentle weeps, George Harrison, can hear a sleepy DJ at just about any point. Just a lot of the ear worms are jamming in there.

[@losk6051]

I feel it coming along. I heard an artist that seemed so familiar because they sound a lot like Regina Specktor so yeah! The Staves brought me back in 2024

[@과일-s6o]

lol it wasn't a good time for me. my parents were mean kids were mean i was lonely, i like my present self than my past self.

[@klaro4758]

For me, this song is simply about us humans being subjects to society, feeling lost throughout our lives. This song celebrates that sense of confusion and how everything turns our into this story that the people in the future can look up to as something nostalgic but they can never fully understand and end up staring at us with a sense of familiarity...

Her songs take me to a place where it feels I've come back home. The fireplace is lit, there's an old, worn out piano in the corner, photographs of memories on the walls. I take a deep breath and enjoy the coziness of it all.

Me too. But my parents played her on repeat in 2006/2007 and took me to see her when I was like 11. I just saw her for the second time in august, it brought back a lot of memories. They’re divorced now but she’s still home.

I was in high school when this song came out. I didn't have money to buy her cd at the time, so I would have to wait for this video to load and I would sit and listen to it for hours! Regina Spektor was the best part of my day!

I used to listen to this song when I was 14 and I never understood the lyrics nor paid attention to it. Now I’m 2022 and the meaning is completely different. Not only do you discover new things as you get older, but your perception changes of what you’ve already discovered.

[@Drae-gk6dl]

I think the name is quite telling. "Us", to me, stands for "US", which is the first letters in "USA" and "USSR". Both have been described as dens of thieves by the other, and both of whose ideologies were considered contagious. They were both, in their times, seen as newfangled and blamed for almost everything ("They'll say it's all our fault"). The statue reference refers to both the statue of liberty and the edification, even deification, of the leaders of the Soviet Union. So I think she's singing about both the nation she was born in and the nation she chose.

Got to see her in Boston years ago at the Orpheum and her future husband opened with Only Son! He was great! Such a good show also the 2:09-2:20 sequence might be my favorite music video moment. So creative! Must have taken so long to film Is 2:03 a Soviet Kitsch reference?? If so, how did I miss that for years??

[@if-i-stumble]

This song captures, almost completely that feeling of simple, expansive feeling when you fall in love, with your S.O. with your friends, with all the animals on our planet, with the world and the universe. And its contagious; how can I not share that transcendent love and compassion for every living being when I feel it, I know it so well? This is more than romantic relationships; this is the romance of being alive, the romantic notion of existing here, now, together.
