Thank you so much for this. What an amazing command of chord progressions Joni had!

💙💙 Lyrics 💙💙 Blue, songs are like tattoos You know I've been to sea before Crown and anchor me Or let me sail away Hey, blue, there is a song for you Ink on a pin Underneath the skin An empty space to fill in Well, there're so many sinking Now you've got to keep thinking You can make it thru these waves Acid, booze, and ass Needles, guns, and grass Lots of laughs Lots of laughs Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go Well, I don't think so But I'm gonna take a look around it, though Blue, I love you Blue, here is a shell for you Inside you'll hear a sigh A foggy lullaby There is your song from me

You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth I have to go, I have to go Your hair was long when we first met Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head He ate a slice of Wonder Bread And went right back to bed And the history books forgot about us And the Bible didn't mention us And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads But they're just old light, they're just old light Your hair was long when we first met Samson came to my bed Told me that my hair was red Told me I was beautiful And came into my bed Oh, I cut his hair myself one night A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light And he told me that I'd done alright And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head He ate a slice of Wonder Bread And went right back to bed Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one And the history books forgot about us And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first

My old man, he's a singer in the park He's a walker in the rain He's a dancer in the dark We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall Keeping us tied and true no, my old man Keeping away my blues He's my sunshine in the morning He's my fireworks at the end of the day He's the warmest chord I ever heard Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall Keeping us tied and true, my old man Keeping away my blues But when he's gone Me and them lonesome blues collide The bed's too big The frying pan's too wide Then he comes home And he takes me in his loving arms And he tells me all his troubles And he tells me all my charms We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall Keeping us tied and true, no, my old man Keeping away my blues But when he's gone Me and them lonesome blues collide The bed's too big The frying pan's too wide My old man, he's a singer in the park He's a walker in the rain He's a dancer in the dark We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall Keeping us tied and true, no, my old man Keeping away my lonesome blues

Would I be able to use this for my cover of this song? If so, I will reference your name and channel. It is incredible work and I wouldn't be able to play this myself as I am not that advanced at piano.

Superb, thank you.

The food that I'm eating Is suddenly tasteless I know I'm alone now I know what it tastes like So break me to small parts Let go in small doses But spare some for spare parts There might be some good ones Like you might make a dollar I'm inside your mouth now Behind your tonsils Peeking over your molars You're talking to her now You've eaten something minty And you're making that face that I like When you're going in, in for the kill, kill For the killer kiss, kiss for the kiss, kiss I need your money It'll help me, I need your car, and I need your love I need your money It'll help me, I need your car, and I need your love So won't you help a brother out? Won't you help a brother out? Won't you help a brother out, out, out, out, out? Just break me to small parts Let go in small doses But spare some for spare parts You might make a dollar Dollar, you might make a dollar So won't you help a brother out? Won't you help a brother out? Won't you help a brother out, out, out, out, out? Just break me to small parts Let go in small doses But spare some for spare parts There might be some good ones You might make a dollar There might be some good ones There might be some good ones You might make a dollar You might make a dollar There might be some good ones There might be some good ones

This is awesome for karaoke! Thank you! Hardest part is always the bridge

Such a pretty song with such a pretty instrumental line. Thank you for making this!

How lovely. I’ve never heard a complete piano version of this song. Beautiful. Thank you.

There was a love affair in this building The kind of love affair, Which every respectable building must keep as a legend Slowly festering through an innocent by the way Or have you heard He was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer And mothers prefer doctors and lawyers Yet despite this imperfection he was clean looking and respectable looking And you'll never find a mother who doesn't appreciate a natural man So he grew healthy aloe vera plants by the window Healthy teeth in his mouth Healthy hair on his head He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head The kind that babies always go for with sticky little fingers

She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god So she named the baby Elvis To make up for the royalty he lacked And from then on it was turpentine and patches From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can And they were just two jerks playing with matches 'Cause that's all they knew how to play And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window And she knew they were destined to become Sacred road kill on the way And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking Thinking about puddles ah, puddles and mistakes 'Cause it's been turpentine and patches It's been cold, cold Campbell's from the can And they were just two jerks playing with matches 'Cause that's all they knew how to play Elvis never could carry a tune And she thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin Saying well why don't I begin again? With turpentine and patches With cold, cold Campbell's from the can After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches It's just that he's not around to play along yeah I'm still an ass hole playing with candles Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams Just sitting here and trying to decipher What's written in Braille upon my skin oh oh ah All this skin She was lying on the floor and counting stretch She was lying on the floor and counting stretch She was lying on the floor, l-l-lying, l-l-lying And a-counting stretch

Somedays aren't yours at all, They come and go as if they're someone else's days, They go and leave you behind someone else's face, And it's harsher than yours, And colder than yours. They come in all quiet, Sweep up, And then they leave. And you don't hear a single floorboard creak. They're so much stronger than the friends you try to keep by your side. Downtown, downtown, I'm not here, Not anymore. I've gone away, Don't call me, Don't write. I'm in love with your daughter, I want to have her baby. I'm in love with your daughter, So can I please Downtown, downtown, I'm not here, Not anymore.

The flowers you gave me are rotting And still I refuse to throw them away Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully They might so I'm waiting and staying awake Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep I'll never know if I go to sleep The papers around me are piling and twisting Regina the paperback mummy What then? I'm taking the knife to the books that I own And I'm chopping and chopping and boiling soup from stone Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep I'll never know if I go to sleep Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep I'll never know if I go to sleep

Overview Lyrics Videos Listen Main Results Somewhere below the grand hotel There is a tunnel that leads down to hell Take the dumbwaiter, the laundry chute Then sneak through the hall past the boy's shining boots Then left at the courtyard through the old garden Where all the bellhops smoke with the guards And then you run to the old lake house Down to the old lake house Run to the old lake house where it begins Under the floorboards there's a deep well That leads to a spring that sprung up in hell That's where old devils danced and kissed And made their blood pacts in the ancient myths And running through forest they screamed in chorus While piercing fair maiden's chests with their horns And then they lay in the grass 'til the dawn came Sleeping away 'til the dawn came Lay in the grass where now stands the grand hotel The Maître D' and a fancy chef Silver's real, the liquor's top shelf Play some tennis, swim in a pool Stroll the garden shady and cool You won't care that the devils Won't mind that the devils Won't know that the devils are near Somewhere below the grand hotel There is a tunnel that leads straight to hell But no one comes up for the souls anymore They come for some comfort and for the dance floor And hiding sharp horns under fedoras Do not disturb signs instead of a chorus They toss and turn 'til the dawn comes On soft sheets 'til the dawn comes No one sleeps at the grand hotel Room service, mini-bar Scented soaps, chauffeured cars Stay a day, stay a week Here's the tunnel, take a peek Just call up your friends at the front desk Any hour at the front desk Call up your friends at the grand hotel You'll always have friends at the grand hote

I would love to use this as a backing track if you’d be okay with it? I’d give full credit 😊

WOW AMAZING!!! THANK YOU

I absolutely adore your accompanying tracks. Would love if you did more from Blue or For The Roses!!!!

Beautiful!!!!

"Blue" Blue, songs are like tattoos You know I've been to sea before Crown and anchor me Or let me sail away Hey Blue, There is a song for you Ink on a pin Underneath the skin An empty space to fill in Well there's so many sinking now You've got to keep thinking You can make it through these waves Acid, booze, and ass Needles, guns, and grass Lots of laughs, lots of laughs Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go Well I don't think so But I'm gonna take a look around it though Blue, I love you Blue, here is a shell for you Inside you'll hear a sigh A foggy lullaby There is your song from me

It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Whoa I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby That I ever had Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer Singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Really beautiful performance. I’m using this video as a guide in learning how to play

Hello? hello? Calling a Karl Projektorinski To the front of the cathedral You have won, dear sir May I congratulate you first? Oh, what an honor Human! human of the year! you won! Human! human of the year! you won! Why are you so scared? You stand there shaking by your pew The icons are whispering to you They're just old men Like on the benches in the park Except their balding spots Are glistening with gold Human! human of the year! you won! Human! human of the year! you won! You have won! hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah Outside the cars are beeping Out a song just in your honor And though they do not know it All mankind are now your brothers And thus the cathedral had spoken Wishing well to all us sinners And with a psalm drew silent Till next year's big human winner Outside the cars are beeping Out a song just in your honor And thought they do not know it All mankind are now your brothers All mankind are now your brothers Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hello? hello? Calling a Karl Projektorinski To the front of the cathedral You have won

Hi! I know this is a long shot, but my friend would love to use this in her wedding and I wondered if you'd be willing to hook us up with the original recording so she doesn't have to hop between Spotify and RUclips during the ceremony? Really love this -- so beautiful! Thanks!

Thank you so much, this is so beautiful. One of the most iconic of Regina Spektor's songs <3

Not sure if you will ever see this. Just rediscovered this site from sometime in the past and WOW. Would you consider ruling the world?! Think you'd do a pretty good job!

wow - I've been working on this vocal and this is the perfect track to work with. Beautifully played, thank you for posting this. Now I'm going to see what else you've been up to!

Thanks for posting! If you have a minute, I uploaded a cover of 'True Colors'. As a fellow music fan, I'd love if you'd check it out. It's on my page. Hope you enjoy. Don't go too hard on me :)

Nice job; here's my solo piano version - enjoy! ruclips.net/video/P5frRlI1GPs/видео.html

Incredible chord progressions

THIS IS WHAT i'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

It was a rainy night We took a taxi to your mother's home She went to Florida and left you With your father's gun alone Upon her small white bed I fell into a dream You sat up all the night and watched me To see who in the world I might be I am from the Sunday school I sing soprano in the upstairs choir You are a holy man On the F.M. radio I sat up all the night and watched thee To see who in the world you might be You called me beautiful You called your mother, she was very tanned So you packed your tent and you went To live out in the Arizona sand You are a refugee From a wealthy family You gave up all the golden factories To see who in the world you might be

A man walks out of his apartment It is raining He's got no umbrella He starts running beneath the awnings Trying to save his suit Trying to save his suit Tryin' to dryin' to tryin' to dry but no good When he gets to the crowded subway platform He takes off both of his shoes He steps right into somebody's fat loogie And everyone who sees him says "ew" Everyone who sees him says "ew" But he doesn't care Cause last night he got a visit From the ghost of corporate future The ghost said take off both your shoes Whatever chances you get Especially when they're wet He also said Imagine you go away on a business trip one day And when you come back home Your children have grown and you never made your wife moan You children have grown and you never made your wife moan And people make you nervous You'd think the world was ending And everybody's features have somehow started blending And everything is plastic And everyone's sarcastic And all your food is frozen It needs to be defrosted You'd think the world was ending You'd think the world was ending You'd think the world was ending right now Well maybe you should just drink a lot less coffee And never ever watch the ten o'clock news Maybe you should kiss someone nice Or lick a rock Or both Maybe you should cut your own hair Cause that can be so funny It doesn't cost any money And it always grows back Hair grows even after you're dead People are just people They shouldn't make you nervous The world is everlasting It's coming and it's going If you don't toss your plastic The streets won't be so plastic And if you kiss somebody Then both of you'll get practice The world is everlasting Put dirtballs in your pockets Put dirtballs in your pockets And take off both your shoes Cause people are just people People are just people People are just people like you The world is everlasting It's coming and it's going The world is everlasting It's coming and it's going

The blond in the bleachers She flips her hair for you Above the loudspeakers You start to fall She follows you home But you miss living alone You can still hear sweet mysteries Calling you The bands and the roadies Lovin' 'em and leavin' 'em It's pleasure to try 'em It's trouble to keep 'em 'Cause it seems like you've gotta give up Such a piece of your soul When you give up the chase Feeling it hot and cold You're in rock 'n' roll It's the nature of the race It's the unknown child So sweet and wild It's youth It's too good to waste She tapes her regrets To the microphone stand She says "You can't hold the hand Of a rock 'n' roll man Very long Or count on your plans With a rock 'n' roll man Very long Compete with the fans For your rock 'n' roll man For very long The girls and the bands And the rock 'n' roll man"

Love all your Joni covers! You're great! :)

Love it

Marvellous! Just marvellous! Ever thought of doing “ The last time I saw Richard”? Ive tried to figure it out but can’t. My best friend Richard died in 2014... I used to sing it for him all the time; he really did drink alone with the tv on and all house lights up bright. I miss him
