Regina Spektor - Après Moi (Austin City Limits 2007)

[@spiff56747]

this song gives me goosebumps, especially the Russian part which is very poetic

[@fdu4.]

Same. Every time. And I'm Russian )))

[@forgetfun]

Это взято из стиха Бориса Пастернака

[@DetonationImminent]

She sounds just the same as she does in her Album. I truly respect singers who don't use studio effects to improve their singing.

[@Janjo64]

Right!

[@NikolaySamokhvalov]

exactly. After listening to the studio records I wanted to check how worse the concert version is. Zero difference!

[@willrichtor]

The studio version DOES rely on effects and multitracking. She just manages to mimic all that with her single voice alone which is amazing and ends up sounding more dramatic.

[@FallNorth]

"improve their singing". Her singing can't be improved. I'm sorry comrade you are now on a list for un-Regina thought :) It's not a big list and it doesn't have many effects, but I'm warning you right now, if Regina ever becomes world president..... expect the odd sideways glance!

[@OrhallaZander]

​@FallNorth I love a lot of styles of music, some I çonsider artists.. she is so damn good.I love beck and Jenny lewis, but Regina is on control of piano, and her voice with the lyrics she wrote, live on stage. She is a goddess of music to the keen ear.

[@AquilesAwK1]

Love the way she replied the fan who shouted "i love you"

[@michellechee7890]

I always tell people that my favourite singer is Regina Spektor, but hardly anybody in Malaysia has heard of her.

[@nattywhack]

The most amazing part of this song is always when she breaks into Russian...it's powerful everytime.

[@lexbor3511]

Amazing, her Russian has no any American accent. Like at all, not a bit. Its pure Russian. And a song is great of cause, and she is very special, no doubt.

[@Fh8919]

well, she is born in russia.

[@lexbor3511]

Feben H I know she is from Russia, but there r plenty Americans born in Russia and if they moved to USA in childhood (like in her case) they all have at least slight American accent when they talk Russian.

[@garr123]

***** Might me due to singing. I know I often listen to musicians who are European or South America and I have no idea because their accent sounds American or British in song. Sondre Lechre and Mano Nerga come to mind.

[@ДарьяКаюмова-й3ю]

She lived from 9 years in America.

[@KT-nl7rp]

+Lex Bor Her American accent has a subtle East European twang. Very fetching. She must have spoken Russian to her parents growing up.

[@ekwadorekwador]

Well, she's a pretty good ambassador of Rushian culture with this piece taken from Pasternak's poem which she smuggled into this beautiful song. I speak both Russian and English as foreign languages so I have some distance. And I must say listening to her singing in Russian takes it to the whole new dimention. Ever since I heard this song for the first time I've been hoping she would record something more in her beautiful native language which suits her vocal style so well. Not losing my hope.

[@thethetrianglekid]

Here I am 17 years after this some came out and 13 years after you commented this- still waiting for Regina to sing in Russian cause it gives me goosebumps

[@m.i.c.g2246]

I don''t understrand how she did not become more popular. That whole record was a total masterpiece.

[@spiff56747]

The Russian part from Boris Pasternak (written in 1912) Black spring! Pick up your pen, and weeping, Of February, in sobs and ink, Write poems, while the slush in thunder Is burning in the black of spring

[@leratapok]

spiff56747 beautiful

[@maivazovi]

Bravo!

[@bitiar]

HOW CAN A HUMAN CREATURE have such a voice, sing like that? She sings with the easyness and perfect control as a fish in the water. I only felt amazed like this with Janis Joplin, many years ago. Lucky me I knew her by the internet, and now am one of the privilegioused ones who can enjoy her music. Go ahead, Regina! (my aunt's name)

[@Walkyriella]

i feel so blessed right now to be alive and beeing able to watch this performance and listen to this heavenly pure sound. i am crying. thank you Regina! your music makes me feel things i never felt before.

[@Могилов]

Великолепно, Регина!!!!

[@mirthification]

Shocked! Pasternak's February in such a context! Marvellous! Me sobbing!

[@1709MaryJane]

I truly love that Posternak’s lyrics in the middle of the song. Beautiful song, powerful russian lyrics, made at the time, when the mastership of poetry was flourishing.

[@Ironimus-Marginale]

Кто называл Пастернака средним поэтом? Регина - это доказательство обратного. Пастернак силён. Регина великолепна.

[@serhiiKu]

+Ярослав Полуэктов Спасибо

[@jhnevn]

Every time I think Regina Spektor has blown me totally away with a live performance, she tops it.

[@MrTeraniv]

Я совершенно очарован , услышал её песню в Love & other drugs , нашёл на ютубе , скачал альбомы , слушаю на работе , дома и в машине.

[@AnthonyMinsky]

This woman is one of the most wonderful things to hit this planet in a long time!!

[@sweetsamgirl]

ohh man i get the chills during this whole song.

[@sedona3player]

she always looks like shes gonna explode from happiness, its the sweest thing ever. she is too talented

[@VladPaneraev]

Безумно красиво!!!

[@nadareee]

she's a genius, and she plays the piano with her eyes closed!

[@peterhartt]

I only discovered Regina through KZbin quite recently and have listened to nothing else since. What I like is that all the comments on all the songs are from people who love her as much as I do.

[@2AtomsInAMolecule]

she needs to do more russian stuff, this is absolute genius.

[@guitarhero240]

she makes me see the potential of humanity more and more. A beautiful spirit with such clarity.

[@sanjuancb]

If I could ever meet someone half as beautiful and unique then life would be unbelievably grand!

[@josefosomar]

J'adore Regina

[@taithangcong4704]

Moi aussi

[@Inkvizitsiya]

I discovered Regina last Sunday on 1st Russian Channel where her music was used in a performance on figure skating. I felt in love with this music from the very first time. Most I like part where she sings in Russian because it's my native. :-) Regina has perfect Russian! У Регины отличный русский! :-)

[@linoleum98]

I Still Cant Believe I Saw her Live. She was So Sweet & Amazing !!

[@nblumer]

Thank you Sidewalk Cafe for giving her the start - long live open mic NYC!

[@AdamTsiklauri]

Oh that smile on 0:14

[@ericwolman4341]

WOW!

[@atleyweems604]

She is stunning. I wasn't sure she'd be this amazing live. Well, this proved me dead wrong. How can one be so wonderful?

[@elebunny45]

i have only listened to fidelity for the past year and a half and ive just decided to listen to more of her music and im glad i did.

[@Donnomuch]

There is no word to describe uber awesomeness!! Just take a look at her n see her sing and play the piano...

[@VLAD2PORYADIN]

наш пастернак в такой блестящей песне-это же за душу берет. спасибо,регина!

[@merirapu]

Февраль! Достать чернил и плакать Писать о феврале навзрыд... Пока грохочущая слякоть Весною черную горит... Регина - чудо

[@annanas9707]

Пастернак??? Куплет на русском был приятной неожиданностью😃

[@drgluck07]

Anna Ivanova Ну да, откуда этим тупым обамовским уродам знать русскую литературу? Wait, oh shi~

[@ВильгельмВинтер-л4с]

***** Она родилась в СССР и прожила там вроде 7 лет.А чтобы любить русскую литературу необязательно быть русским. Очередной "псведопатриот"

[@drgluck07]

Вильгельм Винтер в сарказм совсем не умеем, да?

[@hassadabbass4678]

+Anna Ivanova da da, Boris Pasternak

[@paulzapata149]

I don't understand taka Putin taka

[@botneva]

love the part when she sings in Russian... makes me remember how beautiful our language is.

[@dohene]

regina is so great! Beautiful voice, beautiful person!

[@mliz89]

its like you cant not listen to the full song because you'll miss the unique&random greatness..hearing her music for the first time, you can't assume how a second verse will be..or how it will end..if all of Regina's songs were each a movie, viewers eyes' would be glued to the screen anticipating how it ends..never predictable.inspiring :)

[@judy4ever18]

she's so talented and so unique. I love her style of music!

[@Ariel94]

Goose bumps! Regina's completely incredible :)

[@altenorjr]

She's simply the most [not-yet-known-adjective] i've ever heard. I love her =]

[@MariBarbb]

she's so cute so great so amazing!

[@Casiian_]

I really love this song. She sings it with such passion.

[@Stratacaster87]

I know what you mean, but I would disagree, its isnt because she is not popular with everyone that we love her so much, its just that her type of music, more reflective, artistic and thoughtful, does not appeal to the larger crowd of music listeners, and we appreciate the greater amount of attention required to enjoy this music. This makes her less popular, but being less popular doesnt make her more enjoyable.

[@dusfen]

Her weirdness is the first sign, that she is talented )))))

[@MelinGrata]

She is so PHENOMENAL.

[@xanfus]

I saw her show last night in LA and she was super amazing!

[@mattwolf233]

regina has such a good soul. humble and sweet. her awesome singing makes her one of the most amazing people.

[@rotory2002]

I dare say that Regina has a perfect mind and soul and I could never get too much of her music or her infectious smile :-)

[@MokeleMbembeLives]

This is the one song I'd take with me to a deserted island. Absolute fave.

[@fall2spring]

i was there for this! cant wait till she comes back to austin...

[@oboerific]

Looks like 15 people were temporarily blinded by Regina's pure beauty and gorgeousness and accidentally hit the "dislike" button.

[@slightlyxtainted]

Regina Spektor is SO friggen awesome. I love her.

[@AngelicDelight]

[@kassidylankford4440]

[@SergeyNepomnyachiy]

@guildr08 It is Russian. First iambs of Pasternak's poem: February Фев-[раль]. Дос-[тать] чер-[нил] и [пла]кать! Пи-[сать] о [фев]-ра-[ле] на-[взрыд], Пока грохочущая слякоть Весною черною горит. February. Take ink and weep, write February as you’re sobbing, while black Spring burns deep through the slush and throbbing.
