I have weird taste in music. That’s what my friends say. I like sarcastic, off-beat music. I’m a sarcastic off-beat kind of girl so it’s not a stretch. My new music obsession is Regina Spektor.
Three songs that have me spinning in gleeful circles:
“fidelity”
favorite part: awesomely offbeat video
“on the radio”
favorite part: the lyrics!
“No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else’s heart
Pumping someone else’s blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don’t get harmed
But even if it does
You’ll just do it all again”
“Apres Moi”
favorite part: The lyrics in Russian – taken from a poem by Boris Pasternak.
[phoenetically]
Fevral’. Dostat’ chernil i plakat’!
Pisat’ o fevrale navzryd,
Poka grohochuschaya slyakot’
Vesnoyu chernoyu gorit.

[translation]
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.
