Aquarius Regina Spektor

Regina Spektor's "Aquarius." Enjoy!!!
Lyrics:
Dear someone listening in the shadows
I only talk to you sometimes
and though I ask for help in riddles
it is clearer in my mind
clearer in my mind
born of a sign that carries vessels
but in a month that's cold as ice
I know I question things too quickly
but I have never questioned if I've loved
dear someone watching from the shadows
I'm clenching water in my fists
the drops, they slip right through my fingers
but there's water on my lips
water on my lips
born of a sign that carries vessels
but in a month that brings just ice
I know I question things too quickly
but I've never wondered if I've loved
dear someone watching from the shadows
you've seen me lose all the water from my hands
I'm not a skillful water carrier
but the raindrops keep falling on my head
falling on my head
born of a sign that carries water
but in a month that brings just ice
I'm not a skillful water carrier
but I've learned to carry love
learned to carry love...

[@skyline0eyes]

This song will never need to be taken into the studio, it's perfect as is. Bless whomever recorded it and bless those people clinking glasses.

[@LadyFalcon17]

ABSOLUTELY. Her voice is so raw and beautiful. This is perfection.

[@kpacubo.]

​@@LadyFalcon17the piano too, i love how it's uncompressed, slipping in and out of the recording in an almost emotive way. perfect for the song

[@ronmitchmusic6516]

i don't think anyone captures the human experience more skillfully or artfully than Regina does..

[@mwhatyousaidd]

I agree 100%

[@kennethsubrin4885]

is there anything more Aquarian than that?

[@laughingwolf330]

A decade on and still this song is untouchable. As an Aquarius/Pisces/Aquarius this hits deep. Not like you have to be Aquarian though, the sentiment here is purely human ❤️💡

[@lalahobbes]

Regina- You may not be a skillful water carrier but you've carried me through some of my worst times. Thank you :)

[@NatSaccowantsabetterurl]

as an aquarius and regina spektor fan i love this

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

I can't believe this was live. I thought it was a studio recording this whole time.

[@CraigMaxwell-gz3vw]

Me too

[@Alex-qm1ku]

If you listen closely around 2:49, you can hear Regina say "sorry" in the most adorable way ever. :)

[@emma-mq4ie]

for me it's a very real part of the song haha

[@3mi3mi]

Someone needs to put together all of her unreleased songs on a playlist and call it, "Mary Ann on Sabbatical."

[@aniekanabasi]

Emilia López , but I like to discover them randomly and Surprise myself

[@sierrascott9913]

i honestly can relate to both of these

[@nathannoetzold3821]

[@Saliank]

@@nathannoetzold3821 Haha, so accurate

[@stephenhilfer1438]

There's a 21-year anniversary edition of 11:11 coming out next year that includes "Papa's Bootlegs" -- stuff that is probably even deeper of a cut than this!

[@groovybananas27]

I'm extremely into astrology and this is my favorite song by Regina Spektor. I hope she puts it in an album so it can be the most played song on my ipod

[@angelahope9578]

This comment gave me nostalgia. iPods v. MP3s is the original Apple v. Android

[@Kita_in_Korea]

It's okay you can be an Aquarius for 4 minutes and 46 seconds

[@potterlove]

Why is beautiful stuff like THIS not on the radio? do I really want to hear about people shaking their things at clubs and picking up women?. No. This is genius. This is inspiration. It's so sad how underrated Regina Spektor is when compared to other music out right now. She's what talent is. She's a true muscian.

[@AlexS-df7qk]

Over a decade of listening to this song and Regina being one of my favorite artists. I used to have it downloaded before the age of music streaming services, and all of my downloaded music is long gone, but not my love for this song or all of Regina’s older music.

[@nevigator90]

I probably have a lot of the old stuff you used to have saved on my hard drive! Would you like me to send what I have!?

[@Cutelilpoptart55]

This song quiets my mind.

[@jeremyceniza]

This song makes me cry and I don't know why.

[@luvbird]

When the Aquarius tries to do their job, this one realizes their not skilled at carrying water(metaphorically speaking - keeping balance in the ones we hold true or the balance of other sorts). But the one thing that this person learned to do is to carry love. So no, don't be sad - it's a way of living. To acknowledge, to learn from, and move on the way you left off before the water - before the spill.

[@juelz4sure492]

I like the rawness of this!

[@KoiNohappygolucky]

I started crying during just the beginning of this song... It hit home immediately. I understand how that feels

[@arandomeperson]

The only thing I prefer to silence

[@jumpityjump3]

Miah Gruber Bravo! Best comment on here; most fitting of the talent described. Said it better than I could have. Thank you, fellow fan. ❤️

I've never even heard this song before! I love it when that happens!

[@dreamingsophie5792]

i'm finding new regina spektor songs all the time, yesterday for example "love me or leave me" ... so different from her other songs^^

[@queenmoline]

I shall seek out this "love me or leave me" jewel you speak of...

2019 and still gives me all the feels.

2021 now

[@Dofoos]

2023

[@zeldaoot23]

My sincerest thanks to whatever person made and shared this recording so many years ago... I don’t understand why Regina hasn’t made a studio recording of it. One of my favorites for sure, even with that little mistake 2/3 though the song :-)

[@Imdone767]

There is a 100% perfect version of her playing on broadway at the lunt fontanne theater a few years ago.

[@kaiyadiestler9907]

The fact that this was never formally released and can't be found on any of her albums or streamed on any app just kills me inside. It's one of my favorite songs that she has written, it's just so tender and vulnerable in the best way, like she knows how to really be human in a world of perfectionism

[@SmotPoker09]

I've got a live version of this song , at one point she's very clearly crying. Her vibrato goes kind of hoarse, she says 'sorry' very quietly, and she sounds on the verge of tears for the rest of the song. aww Regina :(

[@ruthnunes2340]

this song sounds like the calm rain falling on the trees...

[@Letthembelightpeaceonelove]

Regina Spektor reminds me of a hidden cafe in the 1930's

[@agneslabyselberg6756]

Omg right

[@MsComedyDoc]

Being an Aquarius is an experience. You're sensitive, but you love to laugh. You're strong and you're stubborn, and you love in a blind, reckless and beautiful way. I hope I will find someone who loves that unconditionally :)

[@viniciusribeirinho113]

Did you find this one?

[@MrTributes]

nothing tastes as good as being Aquarius feels when this songs on

[@TheRealDavlion]

coming from an aquarius, the meaning of this song to me is about how we can be distant, difficult to figure out, but have trouble figuring out everyone. Maybe thats the way it's suppose to be. The song moves to 3 lines of how we feel and the line "but I have never questioned if I've loved" describing why our sign is special, cause we instinctively cherish love over all.

[@lonenightkit]

I'm a scorpio and I feel everything she says too!

[@alfredhauballe4020]

Regina sends me somewhere. It's not necessarily pleasant. But it's thoughtful and different. It makes me feel something different.

[@ladycimone]

A lovely song, truly.

[@allyperez2900]

This is one of my faves.

[@1beat2hearts]

sigh... i love having a laptop.... i love listening to good music..... i love daydreaming ... but nothing beats a person walking up to me and asking me what im thinking about when im listening to music like regina's spektor because the answers simple.... im dancing with her voice and sailing her mind!!!!!

[@fgbowen]

Well Reg. First I've heard this. Most honest song yet. .. You know yourself well.

[@astridgrenac385]

Reginas voice and lyrics have a way to dance with your soul and she will forever be a treasure that connects hearts 🌌

[@Zombiphication]

If this song doesn't bring you to tears, you're missing the metaphor.

[@absolutroot]

I love the piano in this song. If anyone can play what water feels like, Regina can.

[@JEWLES4EVER]

she's so beatiful, I love her style and her voice and....ARGH I have the BIGGEST girl crush on her!!!

[@AnthonyMinsky]

@NeONh8 YES!!!! The whole entire thing is great!!! What a great non-published song. She just has this on a shelf just waiting. I think she has about 70 songs just waiting. She's such a music prize. She's just a brilliant little relief in such a dark world we live in.

[@Averageskill]

I've been clicking on Regina's songs for at least an hour now...adding most to my favorites...Now...understand this, I'm a dude..and I'm glad...but if I had to a woman...Regina is who I'd want to be...I'm pretty sure she could gather enough fans to "crowd surf" all the way around the world....hope she passes over me.....

[@ledeluge_]

Well, I'm ashamed that I have just discovered this song. And also glad, because I can experience this now 20 years after "meeting" her for the first time.

[@rachelbumbumbum]

Goodness, two years ago this did not speak to me as deeply as it did just now. Timing really is key.

[@13EvilEve]

I'm a Virgo....who's loved many an Aquarian...and I love this song!

[@amandamm2217]

The same happens to me...and I love it too.

[@jologwapo9]

Funny cause Virgos and Aquarians are Different.

[@amandamm2217]

Yeah...so different *sighs*

[@SurrealSaDiabel]

Virgos tend to be attracted to aquarians.

[@jologwapo9]

We're just intrigue HAHA. We like different systems. bring'in it to our world, upgrading it to be more real and beautiful. I love Regina tho but don't know her personally. Is she open like a 1% population of all Aquarians? Is she strong, poised, polite or hateful? The only person I don't go along with, My BEF ( Best Enemy Forever ) is an Aquarian before me knowing he is. But I have a close friend (Aquarian) who likes listening to me, talking to me, open up to me and even we knew we're different, we respect each other's take. We always laugh (real one, like the noisy one without caring for other people hearing us, we're like dying laughing for 5 hours) and if she want's a person to go along having tea with her, I'm on the top 5 of her list for sure. It's amazing cause we're not always together or best friends, we're like just a friend, we see each other like 1 time per 2 months.

[@MaddyNKelsey]

I'm not going to lie. I cry every single time I listen to this song. It's so gorgeous..

[@BOMBOVA]

for those of us who are dabbling on the margins of reginia's music, to hear the range and capability of this wonderful star.. thank you Samrtguy... nice collection.. she has diversity, but really love the controlled intensity.. " i am with you "

[@cookieconquerer]

All her music is beautiful, its not just written to please people, but to carry meaning. I like that

[@Nemo9291]

@Lilyfloss As an Aquarian, i must say i admire Aries. They just have so much energy, never afraid to voice their opinions, sincere (which means so much to me). Be yourself :-)

[@soonstarryskies]

Aww. I love this song, maybe because i can... well, everyone can... relate so well to this song. Hmmm....I wonder if the water signifies emotions, ice as emotionless, because those are the traits of an Aquarius. She's saying she's not good at figuring out her emotions, but she's learnt to be in love, and has fallen as far in it as anybody ever could... Maybe its just me.

[@elephantluver96]

I love her voice; it's so pure, unaltered and beautiful.

[@AnthonyMinsky]

I'm a 46 year old man, just had a grandson, worked in construction all my life and I am proud to be a raging Regina Spektor fanatic!! :)

[@Bell1970]

"Born of a sign that carries water But in a month that brings just ice" Beautiful and touching.I'm gonna love this:) Anyway, that's my Zodiac sign!:)

[@NeonAcrylics]

Sagittarus.. and this is still amazing.

[@giraffe314]

i love this picture of her.

[@TheBina737]

I always picture Eridan singing this song while sitting somewhere in the veil, right after he kills Feferi. The person watching from the shadows is Gamzee, and Eridan is just thinking about what he's done. It fits together so perfectly in my mind.

[@ellenpchams]

there is so much intense emotion in this song! it is seriously beautiful.

[@TheEagerMcBeaver]

This is a very nice song to listen to. I usually do not have the time to pay attention to the meaning of the lyrics, but that is all right because the song itself has a very relaxing melody and Regina Spektor has a very nice sounding voice as well.

[@larasoto1991]

breaks the limits of beauty...

[@bellatheduck5822]

Beautiful ;) I'm an Aquarius.

[@circlecircle00]

Regi, you're a skillful everything.

[@diaargh]

I AM STILL CRYING LISTENING TO THIS

[@kaylalalajayy]

shes so pretty. i lovelovelove her music.

[@nighthawknyx]

wow..... ive been a fan of hers for a while, but i just found this.... and.... just wow. Ive replayed it a couple of times now.... oh well. *replays again* thank you so much for uploading. :)

[@TheRealDavlion]

I guess to sum it up, She realizes that no matter how much she accomplishes or how hard she falls, if she loves herself and uses love for what she does for others, then thats all that matters in the end. It's a beautiful song :) and the raw emotion in this song and the way she cries in this definitely something you can feel, magical.

[@MalissaVieira]

Yes! this also reminds me of rain. In the summertime with rubber boots and the trees up and down the street making pattering noises and all the plants covered in crystalline droplets. And I, too, am an Aquarius, and consider myself eccentric and humanitarian! lol

[@onizack]

and on your 72nd 27th, you will again grow soft and radiant. A return to the state of be-comings, and be-goings. Imagine the majesty of your next life....

[@alicepotter777]

i know how you feel man... when i connect a movie or book or a personal experience to one of her songs and in my mind it was born to be that way :)

[@yourfriendferal7864]

if you've ever fallen in love with an Aquarius this song makes so much sense.

[@expressrobkill]

i don't think that's the idea behind this song, Regina even said she "doesn't believe in this shit" her words not trying to be vulgar, its more about her and her experience and she went on about how the power of suggestion makes you think something fits you and she has been labelled Aquarius, so she satirically put that as the title.

[@denkikaminari7894]

I am an Aquarius and I just like it because its good there's a reason behind it??

[@PavlovsStepson]

Great song, thanks for posting it. I love how she goes waaaay out of tune in the middle, then apologizes for it! As far as I know, this is the highest-quality recording available of this song.

[@Auroosa]

I love the feelings, little stories and vivid melodies in her songs, just no doubt why is that she's my favourite musician. 3:44-4:43 ♥

[@jorgeo23]

this song is absolutey incredible.

[@HinataKitsune14]

Wow...this song is very beautiful. I'm an Aquarian who is into astrology as well and I can definitely say that it captures the the essence of the sign quite well.

[@jewelinthedesert]

Rain makes everything better.

[@JavaLavaIce]

I totally relate to this song.

[@hideandscout93]

this reminds me of standing in the rain...like the color perriwinkle...and of pine trees..i know i'm weird but the piano sounds like the pattering of rain in the background

[@AnthonyMinsky]

Wo, my daughter is also Feb 27. You've always been a good source of Regina stuff. Thank you very much ricky!!

[@XxCuriousBananaxX]

yay! Feb 16th!! great song and a bigger plus for aquarius

[@gbrpompeyrespekt6]

Thanks for everything, happy birthday Regina X GBR X

[@andysanchez1]

That’s a real pretty song

[@NeONh8]

omg. 0:00 - 4:46 thats my favourite part.

[@TheRealDavlion]

The 2nd verse is about understanding ourselves more deeply and struggling to grasp the meaning in our hands, when it's in other places that inhabit us and effect the people around us by the way we act, and she is realizing it. The 3rd verse she feels no matter how much she gives with her hands, loses with her hands through her piano work she will never be satisfied, and theres always something giving her water on her head, no matter how much she has or loses.

[@ReallyDeepTh0ughts]

It's so damn beautiful this song... I myself am an Aquarius, and so is a certain someone i care very much about. right now this song just makes me think of him and all the things i'd like to tell him but don't know how... "I'm not a skillful water carrier but I've learned to carry love" Bittersweet.

[@Ebocherry]

you just took those words right out of my mouth

[@Bulletzen1000]

That was...fantastic. It really moved me.

[@Durrake]

Music is subjective, I think the water she never learned to carry was a metaphor for relationships. The tighter you clench, the more you lose. I don't think this song has anything to do with astrology

[@Kakashigirl250]

+Durrake That's beautiful, I like your interpretation, I'll always think of it now. Thanks!

[@Kakashigirl250]

Springtrap Waffles It's funny tho she doesn't believe in astrology lol

[@sfield86]

My momma told me this analogy as a teenager. If you hold on too tightly you squeeze it out of your hand, and if you hold it too loosely, it will just fall between your fingers. Throughout my teens and 20s I noticed that it was a perfect analogy :)

[@DebraBakerls]

It's not about astrology but it makes a great metaphor because it's wild how well it matches up with astrology

[@grahamwillet]

After more listening to this track - probably one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard - need more female artists with thi sort of individuality to counteract the dross

[@Beanaroo]

@potterlove I totally agree. I'm glad there's at least KZbin..... and Pandora.com. THIS is true talent as you said. She deserves to be on the radio, not those fake, electronically altered voices that are so popular.

[@Aiycee]

Proud Aquarian

[@FireGoldFlame777]

As a Pisces, I understand this all too well. I wasn't listening for the sign of Aquarius, until I felt the cusp come over me.

[@TheAs57]

William Nobilis Regina Spektor has Aquarius sun and moon in Pisces. Well Aquarius and Pisces are the most liked zodiac signs.

[@saramecoolsuper]

My best friend is an Aquarius, and I've got Aquarius in Mars, Uranus and Neptune, a whole bunch, but I think everyone does feel like this in a moment of their lifes. I, as a Sagittarius, have heard lots of songs which woulds represent other signs and I really felt the meaning so I don't know

[@scarletpeoni9347]

Amanda HaleStorm We've all got a bit of Aquarius in us :)

[@sillyidooot]

what's a cusp

[@FireGoldFlame777]

Horse Radish​ it's when your birthday and sign are very near another astrology sign. Within a matter of 1-7 days. Sometimes, it can be 7-14 days. Just depends on how deep you get into Astrology really. I am Pisces with Aquarius tendencies. Hope that helped!

[@sahl3163]

I was teen when hearing this Song today Aquarius month the Rain falled the Sun will rise Tomorrow insha Allah I'm adult now and did many big and small mistakes sins ,but happy did good jobs , now i want to Go back start again and

[@orbital151]

That picture is so very perfect.

[@Roodlepops]

Love that picture =)

[@Yaara1115]

I know and agree - but you know, sometimes when people love something especially, like this song for example, I guess they want to feel like it belongs to them, somehow. Or, like there's some sort of OBJECTIVE connection between them and the song, not a connection that comes out of them loving the song. To me, it seems very sweet and natural thing for a person to do. That was just a thought.

[@AliciaBaldelli]

YES. she writes all of her songs herself, and the composes the piano parts too talented?? Heck yes

[@TheFalconSun1986]

Thank you for the intensely beautiful song, love from an other aquarius.
