    I have been listening to the old camcorder version of this for the past 10 years. This is my favorite song ever and I had only heard that version and now there's this and I have so much love in my heart for everything, this song, and this fantastic woman.

      Yep, this is huge, and the recent high fidelity recordings of Loveology holy shit.

      I can relate to all you wrote, Screw you, youtube. Except for the love of everything, sadly - but definitely to the love of this song and this fantastic woman.
      I don't know what it is about this song but it seems like it's still the greatest thing ever besides my daughter.

    8th Floor. The low quality live mp3 I used to listen to on my way to high school. Now I'm in my 30s and listening to this beautiful version (except I'm not on a school bus).

    Lyrics:
    No one waits for her inside the house
    She spots a stranger in the mirror
    And the record spins her nearer
    To the outcome of her day
    You live inside the city
    You forget how tall the trees can get
    A bird sits on
    A branch across
    From my eighth floor window
    And you can't really say
    That it's an eighth floor branch
    'Cause trees don't have floors
    And buildings do
    Восьмой этаж
    Восьмой этаж
    Все высоко
    Все под тобой
    Вот идет домой
    Карман пустой
    Хоть милостыню просите
    Три рубля на водку и буханку белого хлеба
    А теперь, наверное, все дороже
    И дорожки те забыты
    А над ними паруса
    Первый этаж
    Я маленькая
    Все высоко
    Все надо мной
    Восьмой этаж
    Америка
    Я высоко
    Все подо мной
    Я высоко...
    I came in from the rain which
    Wasn't really rain
    It was just
    January snow in denial
    And something must have gotten lost
    In the translation
    Russian to English
    And winter wasn't wintery today
    She comes into the house
    And no one waits for her inside the house
    She spots a stranger in the mirror
    And the record spins her nearer
    To the outcome of her day
    You live inside the city
    You forget how tall the trees can get
    A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
    A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
    A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
    Translation:
    The eighth floor
    The eighth floor
    Everything's high
    Everything is below you
    Somebody is coming home
    Empty pocket
    You could go begging
    It's three rubles for vodka and a loaf of white bread
    But now, maybe, everything's more expensive
    And the old paths are forgotten
    Above them we set sail
    The first floor
    I'm really small
    Everything's high
    Everything is above me
    The eighth floor
    America
    I am high
    Everything is below me
    I am high...
