Just because.
Regina Spektor is probably the most unique woman in music today. I can't get enough of her stuff. She is a talented songwriter and pianist I wrote about in a previous post, but here are a few more songs, just because.
"Field Below" is the reason I decided to do Spektor for the post today. It's melancholy, like my mood, and the lyric "I am awake and feel the ache" is quite appropriate, since it's 2:42 am and sleep eludes me once again for reasons beyond this post. Here's a good live performance.
This one is the jam. "The Consequence Of Sounds." Because white Jewish chicks should rap more. For some reason this isn't on iTunes, but it's fantastic. Listen.
Because I love this song, bought the entire album on iTunes because the song was one of those "album only" songs — from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Soundtrack, "The Call." It's a great song about friendship.
Finally, it's "Music Box." I choose to believe this song is about the monotony of motherhood, but I'm sure I'm wrong. You tell me– "Life inside the musicbox ain't easy/The mallets hit/The gears are always turning/And everyone inside the mechanism/Is yearning to get out/And sing another melody completely/So different from the one they're always singing/I close my eyes and think that I have found me/But then I feel mortality surround me/I want to sing another melody/So different from the one I always sing." Anyway, it's sweet and silly and also has the line "the greatest voyage in the history of plastic," so you know that's fun.
