    It's so cool that Peter Gabriel covered a Regina Spektor song!!! We should just remember that.

    This Cover does exactly what a great cover should. Enlightens the glory of the original artist and beautiful song, witohut overshadowing it. Its like a brilliant tribute to her work, and Peter Gabriel is amazing in all of his own rights.

    What I like the most in the Regina's version is the "epic" feeling, achieved by the piano and the drums. Unfortunatelly it is missed in this one.

    Peter Gabriel started the Red Blood Orchestra and Scratch My Back Project with two restrictions. There would be no guitar and no drums. Try to cover all these songs on the album without guitar and drums. He challenged himself and beat the challenge. This is for all you haters out there. Gabriel is brilliant.

    This is ungodly AWESOME! I completely have chills. I adore Regina, and this is one of my favorite songs from her. And PG is just simply one of the greatest musical artists of all time! I'm so happy for Regina to honored in this way by one of the greats, and I also think it speaks so well of Peter as a person for shining a spotlight on her like this. Love the simplicity of RS's version, love the intense drama of this version! Genius!

    Wow its so great to see a legend like Peter Gabriel show appreciation for Regina's work by covering her! Its nice to see people appreciate her. After all, imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
    And of course Regina fans are going to prefer Regina's version, as the original artist is often the best at capturing the mood and essence of their own song, but if a Regina fan refuses to see how awesome this version, they are just blind.

  • @fractalnightmare
    @fractalnightmare 14 лет назад +2

    My personal opinion is that Regina Spektor has a certain playfulness in her voice, something she can't ever not do, and, while it adds a certain element of insanity to this song in her version, Peter Gabriel's version emanates a feeling of tragedy and panic which much surpasses the original. Too bad he didn't also sing the russian part, those lyrics are absolutely heart-wrenching...

    @TransCoder_L3C 12 лет назад

    He's in his 60's now, it happens to everyone who's been singing their soul out for decades. Besides, he's taken a much more subdued, electronic approach in the past 10 or so years anyway, don't know why this is surprising. My wife and I have seen Regina live, and I prefer her version, but I can still respect this. Coincidentally, our son's middle name is Gabriel, after him.

    • @tudvalstone
      @tudvalstone 8 лет назад +3

      +Walter Emiliani The original is easier to like at first listen. Regina is quirky and sparkly, much like Peter was in his youth.. Obviously some don't get what he is doing here.. they seem to be annoyed he's not singing in Russian?? I can tell you, Russians can be so annoying sometimes.. one gets interested in their culture, reads their poetry, listen to their classics then they complain you don't speak their language and that makes it impossible for you to understand ..this and that.. not happy folks, if you ask me.. but I like them despite their best efforts, anyway :)

    • @gladtobeangry
      @gladtobeangry 5 лет назад +1

      @@tudvalstone I don't think most of the complaints about the russian bit not being in there are coming from actual Russian people though. It's simply the most evocative part of the original song, and Peter Gabriel replaced it with a slightly disjointed attempt at combining central asian singing techniques with a classical arrangement. It's not bad per se, but it just doesn't pack the same punch as the original. And no, that has nothing to do with Regina being "quirky" or "sparkly". You make her sound like some airhead pop queen, when exactly what's missing from Peter Gabriel's version is the emotional depth and investment the original has.

    It's a master piece, no doubt about it. It is also dramatically different from the Spektor's version. The orchestration is tremendous and creates and delicious ambient with some tension.
    However, I personally prefer the Spektor's version.

  • @yrussq
    @yrussq 13 лет назад

    @qwerrie actually he left the word "горит" - "goreet" which means "burning" - so he caught the main word of the poem. But i can say it's really different versions of the same song - Regina's lyrical romance and Peter's tragic symphony.
    p.s. I think that Peter's poor russian stopped him from using the whole russian part.

  • @meavis11

  • @ChileconCoke
    @ChileconCoke 11 лет назад

    Personally i believe Regina's voice is so beautiful that you really don't get the whole lyrics of the song. For the longest time, this song was "I must go on STANNDING!.... la la la LA la" But Peter's allow you to get the whole feeling of the song. Personally just because Regina's voice is beautiful is why I like this version better. It's little too "happy go lucky" for the theme here.

  • @GlobsterAGoGo
    @GlobsterAGoGo 9 лет назад +3

    I dunno, this is a pretty good cover. It's sad that there's no Pasternak part, but at the same time, he probably didn't think he could pronounce the Russian correctly.

  • @Alabasterios
    @Alabasterios 13 лет назад

    @fabiusII =) Io sono un amante di Regina Spektor, la cui versione preferisco a questa... ma penso che l'orchestrazione sia semplicemente spettacolare... se lei avesse potuto avere sotto una cosa del genere sarebbe stata meravigliosa! Peter mi piace anche lui tantissimo, solo che in questa canzone, che esprime un dolore incommensurabile, del tempo che passa, della mancanza di colori nonostante la Primavera, avrebbe dovuto cantarla in alcuni pezzi, più forte. Resta comunque, pura magia.

    Obwohl ich das Orginal von Regina Spektor erst später hörte, bleibt es mir besser in Ohr und Seele haften. Vielleicht war es ihre Leidenschaft, mit der sie es sang, der Auslöser dafür.
    Dennoch sind mir beide Interpretationen sehr lieb geworden.

    I digress with the comment before mine. Regina might be unbeatable at her own game, which is why you take the field in a different game. PG isn't trying to be Regina. He's trying to make the song different. That's what a cover should be.
    And the bonus is that Regina will cover a PG song, which I quite look forward to.

  • @Chloilas
    @Chloilas 12 лет назад

    I completely agree! He is trying to be slow for the suspense factor, but the orchestra is the only part of the song that ever escalates to a climax. I much preferred Arcade Fire's version of My Body is a Cage.. and Regina's version of this song is so much better than this too

    It's good. But without the Russian verse, it's not complete. I always think that if you want to sing any of Regina Spektor's songs, sing them in full. If you miss just a verse, you might miss the point of the entire song.
    And what's the deal with Anya, Sasha, and Natasha?

      Luc Alberts The irritating part is that the Pasternak poem is the best part of the song for many fans of the song.
      So while the instrumentals are gorgeous, the omission for whatever reason kind of ruins it for me, too. Very disappointed.

    It's amazing how people can hear things so differently. I always enjoy the orchestral aspects of Peter Gabriel's songs, but find his voice to be lacking and I don't like how slow he always makes his songs. I love the piano work in Regina's original and her vocal range.. As well as the Russian poetry. I feel that she understands the meaning of the song and Peter's lost that in translation
