Lyrics:
Come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies
Let's get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy
I'll safety-pin his clothes all cool and you'll graffiti up his toys
I've got a perfect body, though sometimes I forget
I've got a perfect body cause my eyelashes catch my sweat
Yes, they do, they do
Oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh ooh
Oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh
Now I've been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
But every time the tide come in to take me home
I get scared, and I'm sitting here alone
Dreaming of the dolphin song
Oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh ooh
Oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh
Maybe one day you will understand
I don't want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
Till that day just please don't be so down
Don't make frowns, you silly clown
Just come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes, eyes

I know it may seem frivolous, but the lyrics that really caught me when I heard this song was, "I've hot a perfect body, but sometimes I forget. I've got a perfect body cause my eyelashes catch my sweat." I often feel down on myself for stupid reasons, like not having a Sports Illustrated cover girl type body, but we should just be grateful for having healthy, functioning bodies. We forget how amazing it is just to be alive and well.

[@CHICKENQUEEN397]

Well said Queen 😌✊

[@TF-dr2td]

It's the best part of the song except for the dolphin part

[@claybowman1242]

Fuck yeah, the human body is capable of so so much and it’s beautiful in so many ways, I like this interpretation of the lyrics a lot

[@bopeepp]

never though id hear someone bark like a dolphin/sea lion in a song and make it work. such a fan

[@72Reshu]

:D

[@BLU3D4Y]

Yvlis ?

[@sebo8703]

Couldn't agree more. Did you notice they didn't show her face during making those sounds? No appropriate mimics of a pretty woman's face for marketing I guess.

[@joemo1033]

@@sebo8703 100% noticed that also.

[@JavenarchX]

I was gonna say! "Walrus song or?

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

This has got to be one of her best concerts she's ever done. She sings so ridiculously well that even autotune couldn't improve her voice.

[@idontneedaname318]

I like the live versions way more than tje studio versions, actually

[@parsonbrown3907]

[@JavenarchX]

Right! I came here to write that!

[@checkerbordom]

"I've got a perfect body, cause my eyelashes catch my sweat." Amazing lyrics.

[@craftycupcake5604]

hey! how are you doing?

[@ZowieJay]

the seas are just a wetter version of the skies

[@jeremyceniza]

Regina's are the only songs I have memorize by repetition and not by looking up the lyrics.

[@vaialalencia]

[@CraigMaxwell-gz3vw]

Me too!

[@milan1397]

Fun Fact: This was used as inspiration for DDLC's soundtrack! It's a great game that I think everyone should experience at least once!

[@synchrxny]

I can't get over the whispered "I love you guys" right at the end. Too cute.

[@aco-lasaabs1651]

Tommy Byler Right!

[@meagancooley2332]

Ms. Spektor: You are an inspiration. I love your style and your way with words. I've always loved singing, but you helped me come out of my shell, and now I sing in my highschool choir, with confidence. I hope to be as cool as you when I'm older. -Meagan

[@darlingnose]

She whispers, "I love you guys," in the end! So, so cute. Love her.

[@thewild1381]

This song is weirdly cute. I adore this. 👍

[@echilcote4235]

Check out her other music! She’s amazing.

[@thewild1381]

@@echilcote4235 my comment was 5 years ago and i just want to say i've become a fan of regine spektor after i listened to this. it's nice that people are still coming back to this video & encouraging people to listen to her! regina really is amazing. 😊

[@AndersMagrioteli]

I've heard Regina Spektor lot of times on the radio - but I "never fell" for her her music - until... Back in 2011 (don't know when) I was in my kitchen preparing for dinner and my TV was on. Suddenly I heard someone singing so I went to take a look. It was Regina Spektor's live performance in London (as in this clip) - so I went back to the kitchen. Shut down oven and stove, and put all food back in the refrigerator. I was totally blown away! Especially when she delivered "Folding Chair". Since then it has been my favourite song from her - and from any female singer. The lyrics are beyond outstanding and the music as well. Regina Spektor is so talented that it's unbelievable! You gotta love her music ♥

[@TheRantsOfABookWorm]

I ve loved regina for years and am going to see her on the 19th of august so after time apart from her music, listening to it again. this was always a fav. ive been struggling with my image. My eyes are really strange and the wrong size, im slightly overweight with thin friends who make me feel huge. I'm tall and gangly. I've got gross teeth. But this just made me stop and think. what am I worrying about? you know? at least I'm healthy! my eyelashes catch my sweat. thanks regina. I love you.

[@whspr1907]

the look on the audience's faces like tears of joy

[@covielloclown]

"Let's get a silver bullet trailer/and have a baby boy"=my new pick up line to meet men lol. This song is GLORIOUS.

[@Peppers19781978]

Regina + Jeff Lynne = one of my favorite Regina Spektor songs. Jeff Lynne produced this song and his influence is all over it. Every ELO sounding song.

[@thefirepenguins74]

this song is a master piece, it's timeless

[@almat6818]

I know!

[@MMM-dz5sq]

I just found this great women and love this song Know going to listen to more 😁 Oct2021

[@JM-lp1vp]

she's so amazing "dreaming of the dolphin song" *barks like a seal* lolol it would have been funny if she'd sung it in those ee-eee-eee noises dolphis actually make

[@flofan27]

I wish I could do the dolphin song part! I love that she can take sounds that aren't traditionally 'appealing' and make them awesome!

[@JohnnyCxviii]

Spektakular!

[@kutagari]

3:20 "I love you guys." jhfkj aww Regina.

[@raulviii60]

Yes they do, they dooooooo

[@100SLViks]

R.I.P. Daniel!! He was such a great musician, you could see he loved and enjoyed music and preforming live. xoxoxo

[@spiderjerusalem100]

She writes really nice songs and she is beautiful. That's all i have to say.

[@ambermarie97]

The bass on the piano is so much stronger at :43 than in the original song, wow! This is why I love listening to her live.

[@classyisin]

This is my favorite song by her :)

[@JollyRogerTheDodger]

This is the first song I've heard from her and I love it so far :-)

[@AtalinaTARDIS]

I saw her live recently, and she said thank you after every song, and sometimes she would whisper it just like that :D

[@zzzcocopepe]

omg i am crying she is amazing

[@juanitomp]

I saw her in Amsterdam, she's a great performer. And this song is just great, you can notice the touch of Jeff Lynne in it.

[@Leena.H]

So underrated I wish I discovered her music earlier

[@kaitlyn829]

So much passion and feeling in every song she sings. Even the silly ones. You can tell she really loves what she does.

[@SymphonEyes]

Honestly one of my favourite songs ever. I can listen to it for days. Maybe one day, you will understand, that I don't want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand.

[@VeritasRose]

My husband and I danced to this at our wedding! We just celebrated our 1 year anniversary. Regina is AWESOME!

[@jaysonfrias6234]

my favorite song she wrote:)

[@annespcgogksd]

2:00 she sounds JUST like a baby seal or something! I love her

[@charlesmiele2135]

I don't normally listen to music like this, but it's so freaking wholesome! Love it

[@lorenzo42p]

I heard that "I love you guys" at the end, can't sneak that past me :-D

[@11teiko]

I love that she puts so much passion & happiness in her songs :)

[@CoraPleb]

I saw her at the Filmore in Denver. It was one of my favorite shows to date!

[@Sanz139]

I love Spektor LIVE, so amazing!!! the live shows are even better......i love her and i love me for loving her and i love you for loving her too

[@the_christopher]

My Chorus teacher met her. We sang this in a Pennsylvania (From Jersey) singing contest, and because we had this song it was the highest rated, we won and got a Dorney Park Trip

[@jaysonfrias6234]

LOVE U SPEKTOR

[@valeriewren6221]

I love the way that all of her songs are unique. There is no one like Regina Spector. She proves that you can turn anything into a song. Thanks Regina!

[@AmberIsTheColor73192]

❤️ this song is a gift to the universe 🙏🏼

[@HaysoosLovesYou]

"I love you guys"

[@jonnycool006]

this is so unexplainably awesome... my goodness...

[@emilyk4148]

I love Regina so much!!!

[@PeacefulValleyDolls]

I keep trying to figure out who Regina remind me of, and I realize she doesn't remind me of anyone. She is her very own person, and her songs and look are very unique. I love you Regina

[@jbn22]

I COULDNT STOP SMILING WATCHING THIS. Buying this tomorrow.

[@ensampojken]

Regina is one of those artists that sound so amazing live, better then on record. As opposed to the waste majority of todays artists that can't sing quite just as good as they do with all the post-production.

[@madisonfallmorales]

Still love her

[@iOseph89]

She never looked better!!!

[@owlzmarket]

I want to thumbs up this a million times. I saw her back in 2009 and its been far too long.

[@KajaMistiPoductions]

Her dolphin noises always make me smile~ :)

[@drinkmore2]

God blessed this world when he gave us Regina Spektor. But Regina will never act like that is true.

[@aco-lasaabs1651]

God she is amazing!

[@angelwings27100]

Regina is so good live that they had to make an entire album for her awesome live show :)

[@impendio]

her voice is perfectly flawless live

[@NinaQueenofSpades]

One of my favorite songs!

[@XHaroldXI]

I think this is better than the album version!

[@TheBravoD]

I'm sad she didn't do this one last night at The Royal Albert Hall it's my fav :(

[@purplepigs95]

I found this song on tiktok and now I'm obsessed

[@dorinerayapah2079]

Fabulous Regina

[@madisonfallmorales]

I love her

[@5oClockShadows]

this is one of my fav songs, her voice is so lovely

[@094phill]

Her voice always sends chills up the hairs on my arms.

[@valsolo5085]

Hi Regina, love you, waiting for new songs

[@Rixxamus]

I am a man and I love it too. It means you are simply more balanced in yourself and also, appreciate good music when you hear it, regardless of gender, music is to be enjoyed. Regina rocks. And that piano playing!

[@TheSongBender]

Woah... I can totally see Regina being The Doctor's fire-bending companion o_o Not sure quite why, but it works.

[@eleanoryaya]

I love this song so much

[@HankMeldrum]

It's hard to imagine anything more perfect.

[@user-es3px4kx1l]

Просто супер!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Dpaz2009]

Holly Crap!! She is just too dam amagazine!!! The small vibratto can't be more lovely. thousands thumps up for her! :)

[@lunamothhh]

it makes me happy she had a baby boy... feelings this song brought suddenly... reminds me of a friend

[@mikerepairsstuff]

Always loved ❤this song and finally learned today it was Regina Spektor singing Folding Chair. Great work! Super stuff!

[@ceebee18]

She DID have a baby boy!!

[@leslieanntongson2533]

she's just the loveliest, regina you are the loveliest

[@MyBrewingSpace]

November 2021 and I'm still listening to this.

[@HaysoosLovesYou]

Oftentimes the only way I can tell it's a live performance is if the audience is singing. It's because she doesn't edit her voice for her albums

[@flofan27]

*Gasp* Do you hear her whisper 'I love you guys' at the end?

[@Boopspumpkin]

depression and anxiety: YOUR GONNA DI- *gets evaporated by this song*

[@eyesofthetruth]

There's so much depth and emotion coming through what sounds to be a simple, light and cute expression with the lyrics and the delivery. There's more. This song goes right through me. Thank you 💗🙇‍♂️

[@lolligelul]

I am humming again that was a 80 years war to do for me !!!! I alway's like her life music she goes so with it !!!

[@johnkonyn8754]

So good!

[@JOYYYtotheworld]

my favourite summery song :3 ...and the sea is just a wetter version of the skyyyyy (:

[@sophalicious7]

[@axeburningfire2507]

[@aaronbell5994]

The inspiration for the Doki Doki Literalure Club theme song is fantastic.

[@gube292]

This song the golden chair

[@BeatleLover4everXD]

i think that when she whispers she says i love your eyes or my eyes, all i could hear were eyes

[@kschultz24]

Yes, they do, they doo-ooo-oo!

[@GoldaLeah16]

regina looks especially beautiful in this.

[@libbieallan6119]

Trully a star, in tallent and spirit.

[@peachfountain]
