“Regina is a musician who is never content to sit still. In part, that is why What We Saw From The Cheap Seats is a downright scary album. An artist who could already seemingly do no wrong went and became even more perfect.”

myStory: Regina Spektor interview
Russian-born Jewish singer-songwriter Regina Spektor reflects on her immigration to New York in 1989—from the fantasies she and her cousin had about moving to the tropics to the realities of adjusting to life in the Bronx, where their new Jewish community became an extension of her family

Be Like a Cloud by Regina Spektor
”Who said i was original?
Who said i was allowed
To sing as if i really sing to write as if i really write
Who said that i could suddenly get up from underneath
and walk away completely stumbling
between each breath i breathe”
The revival of “Hair” has brought the hippies back to Broadway; is the Great White Way now ready for the hipsters? Regina Spektor the singer-songwriter and mainstay of the East Village music scene, will lend her talents to a planned Broadway musical based on the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty. In a news release, press representatives for the musical, called “Beauty,” said Wednesday that Ms. Spektor would collaborate with the lyricist Michael Korie (Broadway’s “Grey Gardens”) and the director Tina Landau (“Superior Donuts”), who is adapting the project from a one-act play, also called “Beauty,” produced by the La Jolla Playhouse in 2002. The musical, to be produced by Elephant Eye Theatrical (“The Addams Family”) will feature music by Ms. Spektor, lyrics by Mr. Korie and a book by Ms. Landau. The project is planned for the 2011-2012 Broadway season following an out-of-town tryout. No casting has yet been announced.
Edit: The musical is fully casted but no names have been announced.

Dust to Dust by Regina Spektor
(2003-05-31)
”Say goodbye
love again, love again
but I dont want to want to want to want to
go in circles round the bend un’ til we are just friends again
and then not even that
sometimes I almost can recall
what it was like before we ever met
sometimes not even that
I was carved
from your rib”
Mermaid by Regina Spektor
“I am a mermaid,
but I’ve sold my voice,
for a couple of feet,
and they always bleed
no matter how I plead.
And I once saw the most beautiful man
at the local record store”
