I first heard this song on May 16, 2020 well watching an episode of the leftovers season two episode six I was blown away by the lyrics and mesmerized by Regina's voice. Here we are during the COVID-19 crisis and boy this song we heard once again every day By millions. I wished I was a filmmaker that would use it. I am a new fan of this great artist.
This was the first Regina spektor song I ever heard and has and probably always will be my favorite song by her. It's just such a beautiful song. I myself sometimes struggle with either only talking to God when I need help or when I see all the bad things around me and think he just can't be real. Anyways beautiful song, undetermined message but it makes you think. Or at least it made me think
The other half of this song's theme is that God allegedly does have a sense of humor. This song is one of several on Far containing religious imagery. Spektor told Spin magazine: "I'm always fascinated with faith, religion, and spirituality, and what those things are to each other, or how they come together or don't come together. When I was done with this record I was like, 'Whoa, I have a lot of stuff here that's just about, like, religion.' Which is amazing. It wasn't planned, but it's one of those concepts that my mind is just fascinated with, and I'm always mulling over. Sometimes I'm really positive about religion, but, you know, sometimes I'm really sarcastic about it, too. Hey, that's God, that's life." This spiritual plea was the lead single from Jewish-American singer songwriter Regina Spektor's fifth studio album Far. The theme of this song is related to the old expression, "There are no atheists in trenches." The reasoning here is that it's easy to be an atheist when you're sitting comfortably in your living room, a bit harder when you're potentially minutes away from your death. -sʇɔɐɟƃuos LyRiCs No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests No one's laughing at God When it's gotten real late and their kid's not back from the party yet No one laughs at God when their airplane start to uncontrollably shake No one's laughing at God When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else And they hope that they're mistaken No one laughs at God When the cops knock on their door and they say we got some bad news, sir No one's laughing at God when there's a famine or fire or flood But God can be funny At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or Or when the crazies say He hates us And they get so red in the head you think they're 'bout to choke God can be funny When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus God can be so hilarious, ha ha Ha ha No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one's laughing at God When they've lost all they've got and they don't know what for No one laughs at God on the day they realize That the last sight they'll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes No one's laughing at God when they're saying their goodbyes But God can be funny At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or Or when the crazies say He hates us And they get so red in the head you think they're 'bout to choke God can be funny When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus God can be so hilarious No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one laughs at God in a hospital No one laughs at God in a war No one laughing at God in hospital No one's laughing at God in a war No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor No one's laughing at God No one's laughing at God No one's laughing at God, we're all laughing with God Writer/s: REGINA SPEKTOR Publisher: Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
She has multiple songs that have tens of millions of views, so Regina got a reasonable level of fame. I bet now, she's probably happy she didn't get bigger.
I just had to find out who this amazing singer was .. hearing it for the first time I knew it was her song In a great magnificent way I was devastated. This is one of THOSE songs!

An amazing scene. The Leftovers is criminally underrated.

Jacinta I.G I was amazed of the video
There is this fragile strength in her voice... does that make sense? Because it seems like something I’ve been searching for.... a long time, now...
I never know how much I needed her music until I first heard it.
My absolutely favorite one…. Miss you so much Regina 🌙🤍🌙
She is a goddess

No one laughs at God in a hospital

No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one's laughing at God
When it's gotten real late and their kid's not back from the party yet
No one laughs at God when their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one's laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they're mistaken
No one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door and they say we got some bad news, sir
No one's laughing at God when there's a famine or fire or flood
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they're 'bout to choke
God can be funny
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious, ha ha

No one laughs at God in a hospital

When they've lost all they've got and they don't know what for

No one's laughing at God when they're saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny

Thank You Regina..
She's really incredible!
love that song !!!!!!!!!!
Ótima cantora
she deserved to be more famous

Gen z, huh?

My friend was over, and said this song was stupid..
I escorted her to the door.
As you should.
they apparently were never your friend I guess.
Don't close doors on those who don't understand
Try harder to open their ears and eyes
Or no one will understand
Curious if this friend is still a friend
One of my favorites :)
Zawodowo, Regi!💚
Obra prima!
¿Por qué tiene que ser tan adorable?
Porque ella es asi !
I like this song :)
she’s right ya know
The beSt.. I
I need to be her.

Ніхто не сміється з Господа у лікарні
Ніхто не сміється з Отча у війни
Ніхто не сміється з Всевишнього коли вони голодують чи мерзнуть чи живуть у великій бідності
Ніхто не сміється з Нього, коли доктор дзвонить після рутинного тесту
Ніхто не сміється з Бога
Коли вже дуже пізно, а їхня дитина ще не повернулася з вечірки
Ніхто не сміється над Господом коли їхній літак починає трястися
Ніхто з Бога не сміється
Коли вони бачать того кого кохають, тримаючим руку когось іншого
І вони сподіваються, що це помилка
Ніхто з Бога не сміється
Коли копи стукають в їхні двері і кажуть що «в нас погані новини, пане»
Ніхто з Нього не сміється коли бушує Голод чи Вогонь чи Потоп
Але Він може бути таким кумедним
На вечірці з коктейлями під гарний жарт про Бога,
Або коли божевільні кажуть що Він нас ненавидить
І вони червоніють обличчям так що то подумаєш вони зараз подавляться
Бог може бути таким смішним
Коли тобі кажуть що він дасть тобі грошей якщо тільки ти будиш молитися правильним чином
І коли його представляють як джина, що чаклує як Гудінні
Або виповнює бажання як Джиммі Крікет чи Санта Клаус
Бог може бути таким досхочу смішним
Ха-ха
Ніхто не сміється з Господа у лікарні
Ніхто не сміється з Отча у війни
Ніхто не сміється з Бога коли вони втратили все й не знають для чого
Ніхто не сміється з Нього у той день коли вони розуміють
Що останнім краєвидом перед їх зором буде погляд пари очей сповнених ненависті
Ніхто не сміється з Бога коли вони мовлять свої останні прощання
Але Бог може бути таким кумедним
На вечірці з коктейлями коли чуєш гарний жарт про Бога,
Або коли божевільні кажуть що Він нас ненавидить
І вони червоніють обличчям так, що то подумаєш, вони зараз подавляться
Бог може бути таким смішним
Коли тобі кажуть що він дасть тобі грошей, якщо тільки ти будиш молитися правильним чином
І коли його представляють як джина, що чаклує як Гудінні
О виповнює бажання як Джиммі Крікет чи Санта Клаус
Бог може бути таким досхочу смішним
Ха-ха
Ніхто не сміється з Бога
Ми всі сміємося
Разом із Богом

Love this song but jimminy cricket did not grant wishes. That was the blue lady 😊
Hahah,good thing to do. :-D
I do love this woman's voice, but the lyrics to this song feel a little contrived.
i agree. very unlike regina
Owen Price Maybe so. For some reason this song played 5-6 times on my trip home from the hospital after my dad died and it became relevant for me personally.
to me they convey ixactly what she’s trying to convey, but i can see how you can see them as that.
I don't think so. I believe the meaning is deeper than people realise.
LOVE
