LYRICS
I gave a coin to a shaman
He showed me a vision so bright
I was so glad to have seen it all
But I awoke with a fright
So I gave a coin to a scientistWho showed me which number I was
Told me the order of things to come
But I forgot what it was
So I gave a coin to a president
He sent me to fight in his war
I still don’t know who won, who lost
I still don’t know what it was for
Just lock all the doors
And get down on the floor
They’ll be coming for more
Always coming for more
So I gave my next coin to a baby
He took it to put in his mouth
Swallowed it whole then started to crawl
I knew he wouldn’t remember me at all
When he grew up and took a look at the world
When he grew up and had nothing to hold
When he grew up and saw it’s my fault
So I took my last coin and I gave it to you
You smiled and said Oh you shouldn’t have
But your eyes spoke louder than your mouth
Your eyes said thank you
Your eyes said love
Love is enough
of a reason to stay
Love is enough

I haven’t listened to music for years, anxiety and depression reasons.. I’ve just lost someone, the most precious person we can lose. And yours is the first song I’ve purposely listened to. My husband looked at me, startled, because I’m listening to music..

[@disturbedponygrl]

Sending you wishes of love and healing. Who knew that giving so much love can cause so much pain when we lose them.❤

[@Roman-hg6rg]

I hope listening to this helped to regrow the part of you that you had lost. Regina Spektor is good for that. And I hope you can enjoy some respite from depression and reconnect with music or art a little more than you've felt able to in recent years. You're not alone. Grief can feel that way. And depression and anxiety. But it's worth fighting for happiness. Good luck.

[@thespoiledtexan3904]

God is good. Music is a true gift. I pray you keep listening and finding songs that speak to you. Check out Fiona Apple and Ani Difranco. They’re 2 that sort of pioneered this type of music. And it’s fabulous. Also, Mitski! She’s young like Regina and has some killer stuff like Regina. Give it a go, love. Heal. At your own pace. But heal. 🤗 I’m so, so very sorry for your loss! Peace.

[@thespoiledtexan3904]

@@Roman-hg6rg Couldn’t agree more. My anxiety and depression has been awful the last few months after a thoracic disc herniation. Music is my home. And it helps inspire me to want to pick up my henna again. I pray others find healing through great lyricists and writers (if the music) like a Regina. Definitely check out Fiona Apple and Ani Difranco. They sort of pioneered this sort of music. And then there’s Mitski; young like Regina and stupid crazy talented lyrics and vocals as well.

[@Tycowiz]

I know your pain as long as you never forget them then they are never really gone x

[@TyskiWaffler]

Something about this song leaves a strong feeling inside me, its like hurt and hope mixed together. And Regina consistently makes me feel things like this and that is why I adore her music.

[@leticiacastor4942]

I had the hapiness of seeing her live back in 2013, in São Paulo, Brazil. I was 17 and it was the happiest day of my entire life. I listen to her crazy, corky, classy, funny and insanely deep songs since I was 14. I'm 26 now, and through these 12 years, she has been the soundtrack of the history of me. I wish she'd come again to Brazil. I'm a whole other person now, and it would be amazing to see her again, to listen to her and feel like I'm coming home.

[@cecechery]

I am the exact way! Started listening at 15, and started again with this song at 30 🥰

[@trinittygriswold988]

I was around 9 or 10 when i heard her first albums songs & 11:11. my sister who's 5 years older than me showed me& my other sister Regina! My whole family has been hooked ever since, even my dad lol. I'm 28 and he told me a couple years ago that his favourite memories of our childhoods were him driving us to&from school etc and us all singing regina spektor in the car.♥️💞

[@leticiacastor4942]

[@lindsayhengehold5341]

Love Regina ! Her piano skills and vocal talent can’t be found much today in the current music scene

[@thespoiledtexan3904]

Agreed! Check out Fiona Apple’s newest album! She and Ani DiFranco sort of pioneered this genre in the 90’s and their music stands up to today’s issues because, well, heartbreak, love, healing, personal growth, etc, is always relevant. My big sister introduced me to Ani and Fiona in the 90’s when she was in high school and college and I was 4 years younger. My sister introduced me to real music; not the crap they play on the radio. Please check them out, too! I think y’all will love them, too! Fiona Apple actually just dropped a record that she recorded at home I believe in 2021. It’s SO good, begging y’all to check them out and hoping someone comes back and tells me they checked them out or know who they are! They’re like the OG’s if this genre and Fiona is a crazy talented pianist as is Ani but Ani plays guitar like you wouldn’t believe.

[@MisterMerton]

@@thespoiledtexan3904 I checked her out today and I would to say she is a good singer. Maybe I'll hear her music more often. Thanks for the recommendation. Greetings from Germany.

[@brandonyori7963]

This is the most emotional I’ve ever been with one of your albums. I’m gonna be in tears at your Chicago show this year.

[@lowrads3653]

I knew today would be a good day.

[@zippythinginvention]

How blessed am I to be the very first to see this here. Thanks Regina!

[@NinaJoestar]

Ha as if 😏

[@zippythinginvention]

@SaintCharlez Productions™ thank you so much for taking the time to share your important emotions.

Love you Regi ❤️❤️

[@BrittLynn]

Your show in Denver with The Avett Bros was my husbands surprise 33rd birthday gift to me… idk how I’ll make it thru! I purposely don’t see favoriteeee favorite artists live because I cry the ENTIRE time. Regina you have been my main vein musically since I was 16. I had 100 of your underground, unreleased songs on repeat (and still do). You showed me that being quirky, musical, creative, odd, nonsensical and living in a world that feels like whimsy was beautiful. You inspired me to buy my first full piano… and learn SO many of your songs. My husband fell inlove with me when I played ‘Ghost of Corporate Future’ like a week into dating in 2012. Y’all… WISH ME LUCK!!! Ima be a dang puddle the entire time. The happiest puddle there ever was :)

[@GGJChannel]

So many gems in this album!!!

[@skallekill7740]

I loved this song, the truth is the first time I hear something from you, but you definitely have a new fan

[@ImVicBlanco]

You should check her whole discography..

[@tishasolomon6173]

I am a new fan years of depression and anxiety has brought me to this. I really like 👍

[@Duraznose]

This song is ethereal

[@wordlespoems]

apart from loveology, this is the best song on the album

[@supersmashcovers2008]

Love when the drum sneaks up and the mixing of the tons of the strings and drumkit is so full and reverberated Love the melody of the chorus and the dynamic

[@supersmashcovers2008]

I had to send the message fast because the song almost ended 😂 Daum MOMA this album is FUCKING HEAVENLY

[@banban6087]

[@Vulkariad]

magnificent...

[@tangentort7987]

Gentleness: I speak with gentleness, and I listen with gentleness. I align with the gentlest part of myself, and I take joy in being receptive, open, and unafraid. I am like a baby deer who's best friends with a baby elephant. The baby elephant wraps its little trunk around my shoulders and we lie down gently on the grass, daydreaming and talking about what sorts of humans the clouds look like.

[@cecechery]

haven’t listened to you for 15 years and i wish i would have. beautiful as always

So I gave a coin to a president He sent me to fight in his war I still don't know who won, who lost I still don't know what it was for So much in this one song, one verse. If she writes everything herself she is in the top .0000001 percent of humans - IMHO. Gawd there are a lot of NPCs in the world.

when I first found Regina, she was a piano and a voice. it sounds different now but I still like it but i hear way more sounds that distract from her voice and piano work.
