I love how she does little vocal acrobatics with the lyrics. It took a while for me to realize what she was saying with the lyric "You can't break that which isn't yours." She combines the the ch from "which" with the "isn't" and it sounds almost like chisel. The allusions to the French and Bolshevik revolutions, the little snippets of Russian and French, the fun little plays with the singing, and the music... I love this song.
OMG chills down my spine when she starts singing in Russian. Even though I don't know what she is saying, the melodic quality of her voice so full of life
She says in Russian, from the poem "February": "February, pick up your pen and weep, Write poems about february in sobs and ink, While thunder booming in the background Is burning in the black of Spring"
At first I was confused by the weird noises she makes in this song, but the exact noises were the ones that made this song memorable for me. I still don't know why she does it, it reminds me of being in the ocean and getting water in your mouth and of the hiccups you get when you're drinking too much.
This is perfect. I wish everyone would listen to music (rap, hip hop, ska,rock, metal, jazz) and feel some type of way about it. That's what it's for to broaden horizons. To feel man
To me it reminds me of that feeling when you hear some really bad news or something bad happens to you and you feel like you just got punched in the stomach.
Lizzy Moon A lot of her songs have interpretive sound. In the song Hero, I think the vbrrr sound is meant to be like the airplane noise you make when feeding a child "Hey open wide! here comes, original sin 'vbrrr'".
Lizzy Moon Iirc I looked into the origin of this song and it was her way of replicating the Soviet Union feelings (it sounds like many of the old marches)
Her piano playing is amazing. Soft playing then hard then in-between. You can tell she' bleeding catharsis into the keys playing this. Oddly enough I discovered this beautiful song on a playlist for Boardwalk Empire.
This song was the turning point for me. Heard Fidelity on some late night show and thought 'hey, what a cool little song'. Looked her up not expecting a big thing. Yowza!! She's a Beatle. Diverse. Simple. Complex. Catchy stuff, deep stuff. You can't put a genre on her. So refreshing. I can't stop praising her. I won't 😊
+Anthony Minsky that is so funny, heard her playing the piano and singing Fidelity on i think it was Letterman a couple of years back. and also thought "hey, what a cool little song, Looked her up on youtube, and ive been a fan ever since.
interesting. i heard a short bit of her doing "dont leave me" on jimmy kimmel? as i walked thru the living room as my brother was watching on TV. had never heard of her but was compelled the next day to find out who she was. looked up the show on youtube, found her. spent probably the next 3 days checking out her music. became an instant fan. she is so refreshing. fearless,UN-filtered, UN-fettered music. have not found one song of hers that i dont like.
The Russian verse is the first stanza from a poem by Boris Pasternak, February: February. Get ink, shed tears. Write of it, sob your heart out, sing, While torrential slush that roars Burns in the blackness of the spring. Go hire a buggy. For six grivnas, Race through the noice of bells and wheels To where the ink and all you grieving Are muffled when the rainshower falls. To where, like pears burnt black as charcoal, A myriad rooks, plucked from the trees, Fall down into the puddles, hurl Dry sadness deep into the eyes. Below, the wet black earth shows through, With sudden cries the wind is pitted, The more haphazard, the more true The poetry that sobs its heart out. Alternatively: February. Get ink. Weep. Write the heart out about it. Sing Another song of February While raucous slush burns black with spring. Six grivnas for a buggy ride Past booming bells, on screaming gears, Out to a place where rain pours down Louder than any ink or tears Where like a flock of charcoal pears, A thousand blackbirds, ripped awry From trees to puddles, knock dry grief Into the deep end of the eye. A thaw patch blackens underfoot. The wind is gutted with a scream. True verses are the most haphazard, Rhyming the heart out on a theme.
How interesting! I didn't know it.. what do you think that this song means? What do you think that happened to this person? Why this poem...? I'd love to have a deep talk about this song! Can you add me at Skype? My name in there is gabriela.alexandria
Any native speakers of Russian know why the translation contains 'sing' in the first stanza? There is nothing in the original that appears to mean 'sing' to me...
Yep, there is nothing about 'sing', but i think it's because of literary translation. There is 'навзрыд' which means when you can't hold your crying. Usually they say 'рыдать навзрыд' - to cry hard, but there is "писать навзрыд' - write instead of cry.
This wonderful song smells of Russian-Jewish nostalgia and depth, a world away from the (otherwise blessed) optimism and superficiality of the American life. I remember the minor diaspora of the 80's when the Jews from Soviet Union left, I deeply regret that Europe wasn't ready to relocate them. Hope that she will keep the feeling of belonging to another world.
I (uh) must go on standing You can't break that which isn't yours I (uh) must go on standing I'm not my own, it's not my choice Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood Apres moi le deluge, after me comes the flood I (uh) must go on standing You can't break that which isn't yours I (uh) must go on standing I'm not my own, it's not my choice Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood Apres moi le deluge, after me comes the flood Apres moi le deluge, after me comes the flood Fevrale dostat chernil I plakat Pisat O Fevrale navsnryd Poka grohochushaya slyakot Vesnoyu charnoyu gorit Vesnoyu charnoyu gorit Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood Apres moi le deluge, after me comes the flood I (uh) must go on standing You can't break that which isn't yours I (are) must go on standing I'm not my own, it's not my choice I (uh) must go on stan-stan-ding-dong You can't, can't break that, that Which isn't, isn't yours, yours Which isn't, isn't yours, yours I'm not, not my own, own It's not, not my choice, choice
Update: Regina was brilliant. You could feel the audience's breath catch in their throat as she clunked out the dark piano notes; she had everyone in the theater in a trance.
Beautiful. I hear Russian and i see her star of David and to me they make this song even more beautiful because she weaves her heritage both Russian n Jewish in this Beautiful song
I come fron an Ukranian family and this somg reminds me so much of some old russian songs i used to hear at home when i was little. I didn't think someone can make these kind of songs nowadays... when she sings in russian i go all fan-girl "OMG I can understand everything she's sayiiinng !!". Regina is amazing. :)
So much to love about this song. Regina just sounds like a boss singin' it. Like nothing is gonna bring her down and she's on top. I especially love the Russian part. And then at the end around 4:03 with the echoes and the grunts, just so raw and powerful.
If y'all love Regina, "What we saw from the cheap seats" is probably her masterpiece and that's saying a lot. I have all her records. I loved her before. But now I am afraid. This one scares me. She's like possessed. No one can be that talented.
Here's my humble attempt: February. Time to weep your ink Writing February's pain While the thunderous rain Burns the charcoal of new spring. -- Sasha Karasev
Another translation: February. Get ink. Weep. Write the heart out about it. Sing Another song of February While raucous slush burns black with spring. Six grivnas* for a buggy ride Past booming bells, on screaming gears, Out to a place where rain pours down Louder than any ink or tears Where like a flock of charcoal pears, A thousand blackbirds, ripped awry From trees to puddles, knock dry grief Into the deep end of the eye. A thaw patch blackens underfoot. The wind is gutted with a scream. True verses are the most haphazard, Rhyming the heart out on a theme.
The Russian is Pasternak poem -- Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать!.. Писать о феврале навзрыд, Пока грохочущая слякоть Весною черною горит. roughly translates to: February. [may as well] Get out the ink and cry! [to] Write of February violently While the roar of the snowy slush Is burning with a dark autumn
i just saw her live tonight and i didn't know who she was but after the show I'm sure as hell a fan. She was so different from all the other performers at the festival and i loved it.
The Russian part is so great ( the whole song is, actually, but the Russian part makes me cry). So proud that she didn't forget her mother tongue, it really shows her as a great person
this is so so so so so so so so so so so underrated!!! she is awesome! why do some crap singers have millions of views and this genius woman has so little?.... REGINA, YOU ARE AWESOME!
My student teacher told me about her. I'm so happy she did. Regina Spector is an amazing artist. I love her. And she speaks in Russian, even better. I'm in seventh grade and I'm trying to learn Russian so I always get super excited about it when I hear it. So:спасиба. Я тебя люблю!
This song was a turning point for me in all music. I heard 'Fidelity' one night on Jay Leno I think, and thought it was such a sweet song that I explored her to see if there was more to her. And all I can say is WOW!! The first one I came to was Apres Moi, just because the title seemed weird. I couldn't believe my ears. I was so sick of new music til her. She isn't just good, she's a revolutionary. She's a Beatle, a Chuck Berry, she's a Regina. And everyone will know it eventually.
I'm pleased with your Schubert reference. I've always felt Regina draws much influence from that era of composition and including early atonal works too. That with a mix 60's avant-garde.
I like the song, "be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs, be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your soul, apres moi deluge, after me comes the flood" love
This is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. And I don´t understand why so many people think that russian is an ugly and a harsh language :) I think it´s one of the most beautiful languages in the world!
I've just discovered Regina Spektor. The first songs Iheard were sweet and romantic, but this song is such another level. It's intense kinda dark... But I could not love it more!!!
Just saw her live concert from Hammersmith Apollo, and had to purchase this song directly afterwards! Finally found another track to add to my Regina collection, she has about 10 tracks which I really love - I've yet to appreciate a whole album with her. It was a very good live experience, it constantly reminded me of Tori Amos, both her looks and stage presence. Which of course is a good thing!
Taylor Neil Probably something like "I don't care what happens after i die" or "I care only about myself" / Literally "After me : the flood." (the "flood" as in Noah's story). French people understand it as "The flood might as well wipe everything after me, I don't care."... Something like that. :)
If there is ever a worldly catastrophic event - we really need to make sure in everyday possible Regina is saved - she is an absolutely amazing energy - true beauty for the senses
This song kind of reminds me of Stars by t.A.t.U., which starts out in English with a slow tempo, then has a verse in Russian that is much faster than the first verse, then more English, then more Russian. It's a great song and this song is great too.
no se si tan siquiera alguien entienda mi comentario... pero esta mañana desperté con una canción en la mente; una canción k no sabia de donde había salido, o al menos no lo recordaba, algo k me hizo sentir feliz y de cierta forma enamorado por el simple hecho de estar feliz; de pronto llego y descubro k la canción k escuche en mi inconsciente era esta... eso sucede cuando algo se hace realmente desde el corazón, la magia de regina spektor :)
13 years flew by! i love this song so much and still play it all the time. 2024 checking in!
She plays her voice like an instrument.
World: Do you want to be a Russian folk artist, a pop queen, an experimental artist, or a blues singer?
Regina: *yes*
Бред...
Indeed, all of the above.
I love how she does little vocal acrobatics with the lyrics. It took a while for me to realize what she was saying with the lyric "You can't break that which isn't yours." She combines the the ch from "which" with the "isn't" and it sounds almost like chisel.
The allusions to the French and Bolshevik revolutions, the little snippets of Russian and French, the fun little plays with the singing, and the music... I love this song.
Nothing here has to do with bolshevism
It's a fusion of the Russian spirit and the Parisian chic. Bravo, Regina!
Exactly.
@@ellcally508 q
cant believe its been 12 years. song still gives me chills
OMG chills down my spine when she starts singing in Russian. Even though I don't know what she is saying, the melodic quality of her voice so full of life
She says in Russian, from the poem "February":
"February, pick up your pen and weep,
Write poems about february in sobs and ink,
While thunder booming in the background

it's a translation I won't approve :-) In particular "thunder booming" should rather be "muddy slush (loudly) splashing"...
You can't just translate someone else's poem and do whatever the fuck you want with it, dog.
did you know your mom could speak Russian?
Yeah, when she starts singing in Russian, I was like okay, shit is getting real now.
16.02.24 звучит, как никогда. Будь проклят февраль.
At first I was confused by the weird noises she makes in this song, but the exact noises were the ones that made this song memorable for me. I still don't know why she does it, it reminds me of being in the ocean and getting water in your mouth and of the hiccups you get when you're drinking too much.

Какая классная песня, просто мурашки по коже
The Russian verse is the first stanza from a poem by Boris Pasternak, February:
February. Get ink, shed tears.
Write of it, sob your heart out, sing,
While torrential slush that roars
Burns in the blackness of the spring.
Go hire a buggy. For six grivnas,
Race through the noice of bells and wheels
To where the ink and all you grieving
Are muffled when the rainshower falls.
To where, like pears burnt black as charcoal,
A myriad rooks, plucked from the trees,
Fall down into the puddles, hurl
Dry sadness deep into the eyes.
Below, the wet black earth shows through,
With sudden cries the wind is pitted,
The more haphazard, the more true
The poetry that sobs its heart out.
Alternatively:
February. Get ink. Weep.
Write the heart out about it. Sing
Another song of February
While raucous slush burns black with spring.
Six grivnas for a buggy ride
Past booming bells, on screaming gears,
Out to a place where rain pours down
Louder than any ink or tears
Where like a flock of charcoal pears,
A thousand blackbirds, ripped awry
From trees to puddles, knock dry grief
Into the deep end of the eye.
A thaw patch blackens underfoot.
The wind is gutted with a scream.
True verses are the most haphazard,
Rhyming the heart out on a theme.
How interesting! I didn't know it.. what do you think that this song means? What do you think that happened to this person? Why this poem...? I'd love to have a deep talk about this song! Can you add me at Skype? My name in there is gabriela.alexandria

that was great! thank you! 👍

I cryed when heard it on the radio. Silently, but really "navzryd". Thank you Regina!
Gosh, my boyfriend is from Russia. I always thought the language sounded harsh and scary, but Regina literally makes it sound like music to my ears.
Всё ещё Горит Февраль!
This is a freaking masterpiece. I wish more people knew about her.
why is this song so perfect?!
because regina. the end lol

Hope you are ok.
I wish she sang in Russian more often.
she has 2 cover songs in Russian. and translated one of her other songs into Russian.
which ones?
she needs a whole album for russian songs :)
I know about this one: ruclips.net/video/GG4-CVSGPzw/видео.html
Also this one ruclips.net/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/видео.html
The Russian is Pasternak poem --
Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать!..
Писать о феврале навзрыд,
Пока грохочущая слякоть
Весною черною горит.
roughly translates to:
February. [may as well] Get out the ink and cry!

i just saw her live tonight and i didn't know who she was but after the show I'm sure as hell a fan. She was so different from all the other performers at the festival and i loved it.
I was playing this on piano at school and a girl recognized it, I was so happy :)
I bet you still remember that moment, 9 years since you made this comment :)
The thoughtfulness into the vocals and yet the organic messiness is so beautiful.
Such an unusual post-modern vocal track accompanying a fairly traditional piano piece...surprisingly splendid! ...just lovely!
The Russian part is so great ( the whole song is, actually, but the Russian part makes me cry). So proud that she didn't forget her mother tongue, it really shows her as a great person
this is so so so so so so so so so so so underrated!!! she is awesome! why do some crap singers have millions of views and this genius woman has so little?.... REGINA, YOU ARE AWESOME!
Because 90 percent of people are deaf, blind and absolutely stupid.
My goodness this is so resounding to me at this time. Praying for better days. 🙏🏽
Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать!
Писать о феврале навзрыд,
Пока грохочущая слякоть
Весною черною горит
Моя любимая песня у нее
The Russian part is quoted from Boris Pasternak's poem "February".
Definitely my favorite song of hers.
I absolutely agree. This is by far the best song Regina has ever made. Well, maybe next to 'Human of the year'.
Régina Spektor est possédée, magnifique, probablement sa plus belle chanson ;
Après moi le déluge : carpe diem
Seriously love this unconventional talent.
My student teacher told me about her. I'm so happy she did. Regina Spector is an amazing artist. I love her. And she speaks in Russian, even better. I'm in seventh grade and I'm trying to learn Russian so I always get super excited about it when I hear it. So:спасиба. Я тебя люблю!

still waiting for people to know ):
Очень красивая, хотя для меня почему-то еще и довольно печальная песня.
+100, excellent song :)
Нет блять, она охуенно веселая, ты просто беспросветная депрессантка
This girl is such a genius with the piano... wow... It's so powerful... beautiful...
Wow, memories.
I'm playing this for my daughter (I'm 6 months pregnant) and shes loving it. She's moving around like crazy 🖤
Hope you and baby are well and groovin 🖤🖤
I love you to come to India
Браво, Регина!
Forgot about this song till now, it’s so bizarre, it used to make me super uncomfortable but in a morbidly curious way, it’s good
the world she creates with her music is extremely overwhelming
i soooo love this singer.. this is my fav album. when i heard the song for orange is the new black.. i knew this was her..
The accompaniment and chord progression reminds me of a Schubert song called "Aufenhalt"
I'm pleased with your Schubert reference. I've always felt Regina draws much influence from that era of composition and including early atonal works too. That with a mix 60's avant-garde.
Gnomie She was more influenced by Chopin
I've listened to Fidelity so many times. Today was the first time I listened to Apres Moi. It was a religious experience that made me cry.
I like the song, "be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs, be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your
soul, apres moi deluge, after me comes the flood" love
Любимая песня на века❤как музыкант и человек вообщем я просто в не вероятном восторге😭
Here's my attempt:
February. Take out the ink and sob!
To write of February, weep,
As long as rumbling slush outside
In blackened spring burns deep.
This is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. And I don´t understand why so many people think that russian is an ugly and a harsh language :) I think it´s one of the most beautiful languages in the world!
This is Regina's greatest song and triumph
One of my favorite songs of all time
you could listen to this song a whole day and it wouldnt be a wasted one
I've just discovered Regina Spektor. The first songs Iheard were sweet and romantic, but this song is such another level. It's intense kinda dark... But I could not love it more!!!
It's a random night in February. Time to get this song stuck in my head once again.
the most intense and dramatic song by regina...love it
I just love this song so much... I can't even really explain it. I'm so glad I found her music, it's amazing.
Après moi le deluge is a part of Dostoevsky's "the idiot"...just linked the two together
Amazing work, so much substance. beautiful
her live version of this when she performed in London was absolutely amazing!
Such a timeless classic 💞🤓
Just saw her live concert from Hammersmith Apollo, and had to purchase this song directly afterwards! Finally found another track to add to my Regina collection, she has about 10 tracks which I really love - I've yet to appreciate a whole album with her. It was a very good live experience, it constantly reminded me of Tori Amos, both her looks and stage presence. Which of course is a good thing!
GOOD SHIT MMFGB JM, THATS SOME GOOD SHIT RIGHT THERE
Quelle voix magnifique!
12 people are lame, old, and cold. I don't understand how anyone could dislike this... it's so powerful and beautiful.
I think he means he would 'fall for the duration of an eternal sunset' ;)
Regina is awesome... Love her vocal tone and piano style
Absolutely Wonderful.
One of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard. perfect.
Не могу наслушаться! Завораживает!
one of my favorites by Regina, she should really write more songs with this feel
" Après moi, le Déluge. "
Merveilleuse
Francesco Reda après moi, le "délouge" ^^
What does that mean? I want to know
Taylor Neil Probably something like "I don't care what happens after i die" or "I care only about myself" / Literally "After me : the flood." (the "flood" as in Noah's story). French people understand it as "The flood might as well wipe everything after me, I don't care."... Something like that. :)
If there is ever a worldly catastrophic event - we really need to make sure in everyday possible Regina is saved - she is an absolutely amazing energy - true beauty for the senses
if there´s even a manmade catastrophic event i want this playing in the backgroun. thats it
Her Russian is fantastic! I do love music in my native language, and Regina is so wonderful, she should do more songs in it.
It gets deep 💃🏼🤔🤭
This is the greatest song ever written.
France's Eurovision entry sounded just like this. It was beautiful tbf
Thank you for your amazing music Regina!
This brilliance elevates. Brava! Enormous respect R.S.
Regina Spektor is so calmoithe. Calmoithe is my word for compassionate and feminine. She is mesmerizing and I'm so happy to have her in my life.
i was looking for a different song....what a find! i love this.
This so cool
one of my favorites ever
This song kind of reminds me of Stars by t.A.t.U., which starts out in English with a slow tempo, then has a verse in Russian that is much faster than the first verse, then more English, then more Russian. It's a great song and this song is great too.
I hit the 'like' and 'replay' buttons over and over again. Just can't stop.
Wow this did age well.
February, get ink and sob..
no se si tan siquiera alguien entienda mi comentario... pero esta mañana desperté con una canción en la mente; una canción k no sabia de donde había salido, o al menos no lo recordaba, algo k me hizo sentir feliz y de cierta forma enamorado por el simple hecho de estar feliz; de pronto llego y descubro k la canción k escuche en mi inconsciente era esta... eso sucede cuando algo se hace realmente desde el corazón, la magia de regina spektor :)
When I put this song on the room suddenly got extremely cold.
so perfect
Потрясающе, узнал о ней только после программы ледниковый период.
Yes, she's just made a Russian version of "Ne me quitte pas (Don't leave me)". It's on youtube!
I love this song and I just think that it is the best
