LYRICS
Sickness and flowers go together
Bombing and shelters go together
Laughing and hurting go together
Finding and keeping go together
Canary yellow, mustard yellow
Yellow tear stains on old pillows
Everyone loves a story
About long, long ago...
Pirates and parrots go together
Sticks and carrots go together
Loving and leaving go together
Lies and believing go together
Canary yellow, mustard yellow
Yellow tear stains on old pillows
Everyone loves a story about far, far away...
Living and dying go together
Business and crying go together
Passion and madness go together
Yellow and sadness go together
Canary yellow, mustard yellow
Yellow tear stains on old pillows
Everyone loves a story
About far, far away
Everyone loves a story
about long, long ago
And what,
What might’ve been...

Your music and my emotions go together. You just don't start to realize how much you mean to us

[@kallyoliva-whitman3291]

Absolutely, Regina is the person whose got me through high school and my own heart. She isn't a parent to us, and not a god, but....she's like some angel wings attached to our back, keeping us standing upright as we walk into life. I can't begin to imagine all the lives she's touched and all the things she's done with her voice and brain. I couldn't have said it better myself Victoria -- her music and us go together!!

[@d-5037]

Very true.

[@BritneyHIAM]

This whole album is amazing but I keep coming back to this song. It just hits me hard. Regina's melodies and poetry will never fail to captivate me

[@georgeLUVharrison]

Me too.. Her music has always made me cry but the last verse of this... Ugh.

[@ぼじん-o5r]

As someone whose favourite colour is yellow and tends to be sad quite a lot, this song hit me hard

[@kallyoliva-whitman3291]

My childhood bedroom WAS Yellow -- I hated it -- I always LOOK BACK Sadly now, and dream of what MIGHT'VE BEEN. I love it now and think WHAT MIGHT'VE BEEN. I was always SAD back then too, but now, I never look back to anytime but that one with the YELLOW room.

[@ぼじん-o5r]

@@kallyoliva-whitman3291 whoah 😲 I'm sorry your yellow bedroom is a sad memory for u

[@kallyoliva-whitman3291]

@@ぼじん-o5r Oh, it's not sad per say, but happy sad (melancholy). It reminds me of the good things and to never forget them and never let them go, even when you take it for granted. I look back to that yellow room, and I keep looking for a yellow room in my future to go back to, to keep all those lovely things, but in the end, I'm just a soul looking for good.

[@kallyoliva-whitman3291]

Not all sad things are bad 🙂

[@ぼじん-o5r]

The song title very much gives Everything Everywhere All at Once huhu~

[@orchidofkhalida]

Regina will always have my heart ❤️ “Laughing and hurting go together.”

[@MsAryca]

I can't believe!!! raindrops and loveology. omg thank you Regina 😍😍😍😍

[@TyskiWaffler]

Stunning, beautiful, and oddly bittersweet. There's an odd tugging of heartstrings from this one especially towards the end.

[@kallyoliva-whitman3291]

I felt a bit of comedic bitterness in the first line on sickness and flowers 😄 It's like, "I only get something sweet when I'm crying (or unwell)?"

[@zorknot]

She's just great. Like if Luna Lovegood got into the music business but still remembered magic.

[@astridgamino5251]

I have been your fan since I was 9 years old. I’m 24 now and loving your music more than ever.

[@Kaalyn_HOW]

This always reminds me of "Everything Just Belong Somewhere" by Bright Eyes - lyrically. I love this "sense-making" songs in some comforting way. 💜💙

[@davidjme]

Spektor & music go together👍

[@lukemystervlogs6797]

Everyone loooooves your music 🎶🎵

[@BridgeMixxx]

My dreams have come true! I get to come see you live on Tuesday! I'm crying AND you're crying! IM SO EXCITED!

[@supersmashcovers2008]

Good thing I’m wearing headphones this is audio engineering gold ❤ so cinematic and atmospheric And that vocal run at the end 🥹 #FinalFantasy

[@supersmashcovers2008]

I gots to go 😢 brb love ya Queen ♾️

[@ACloud27]

Regina, you have made such beautiful music for all these years. Stay blessed Regina. We love you.

[@kallyoliva-whitman3291]

I imagine it must've been hard finishing this one. Some of the things don't go together as easily as others. I wish there had been more of a conclusion, a little happy shift like "but that's okay" but this wasn't that kind of song and I liked it a lot. It released a lot of the emotions carried and left no room for denial or looking another direction. I loved the first stanza best. Also, she sung it almost in Disney fashion at parts, it was amazing!

[@sagesufferswell]

I'm so in love with your music. You are a magician, a muse, a poet, and so much more. You've helped me through so many dark times. You've undoubtedly saved many lives. Thank you for every note you've shared and all the ones you sang alone until it was just right. I appreciate you and I hope you're doing alright. I know the last year has been especially difficult. I'm thinking of you and I hope there are musicians who comfort you the same way you comfort us.

[@tv-en-vivo1997]

You make me happy with your marvelous voice!!!, thank you so so much!!!

[@trinittygriswold988]

Thank you for being one of the rare good things in my childhood. I was 13 when Soviet Kitsch came out, at 16 i was really struggling & my life & stability cracking and breaking down right in front of my eyes, also dealing with a tumultous relationship when Far came out, quickly becoming my favourite album. Through all my MH issues in child&adulthood through every toxic ex through finding myself and having kids your music has been there for me and so many others.🌹✨ (One last time with feeling helped me through a lot of suicidal ideations, as well)..🖤🤍⚕️🤍🖤

[@theOGchappri]

Whenever I want to listen to the lyrics of te music I want to listen to Regina spektor

[@vanessae2629]

[@joefontanetta8531]

Your music is more than original and inspiring and well angelic in its totally beautiful and moving blessing. Sorry I know I’m all over the place here but you are a gift 💝 Regina, and I’ve been around long enough to know what is truly gifted and blessed, and YOU ARE! Much love 💗

[@mattmorris2141]

She done done it again y'all.

[@ぼじん-o5r]

I love the lyrics here! This album is honestly seeming more lyrics-focused than music-focused if you know what I mean 😁💜

[@the.shoreland2703]

I adore your poetry REgina Spektor ^

[@PaulaAlexPinto]

[@JasonBreniser]

I want to understand this song.

[@jaykaypos]

I know this person, we went together... We don't anymore

[@menbelonginthekitchen8684]

Might have helped if these videos had the album cover expanded to fill the screen. Would help with yt views. Rn it looks like a youtube generated audio

[@Aihtnictsu]

💙💙💙💙

[@zzzcocopepe]

She's not quite right. They don't really go together. They chase each other. They try to defeat one another. It's like the difference between correlation and causation. She's seeing a correlation but she's coming to the wrong conclusion. But then in the end she kind of brings it back to the right thing. But yeah, pain tries to defeat happiness and happiness tries to heal pain.

[@williamrosskopf8657]

I’m sorry to be rude.. Not a good musician. Just my opinion.

[@turquoiseedits]

A whole lot of of nothing burger...your comment...In my opinion.
