Please keep this beautiful song alive forever. I first heard it in the winter of 2006 in my childhood bedroom in Indiana and have been hopelessly in love with it ever since. One of the most tender pieces of music ever written.
Well as I'm older than the internet and mobile phones, and you. My Childhood was 1980. How about a bit of a Remix. th-cam.com/video/Q0ftlCr1Trw/w-d-xo.html. 8 Days ago. Wow. Calm down Children. If I was pregnant with you I could legally get an abortion.
One of my most precious possesions is a video I made of my late wife playing and singing this beautiful song on a second hand piano that we purchased from an old church. Sampson and Regina hold a very special place in my heart. Thank you Regina and Joe Mendelson for preserving this amazing time capsul.
@@sonycrom1 Big fan of Daniel Cowman, Loveology, and The One Who Stayed and the One Who Left - three favorites, though there too many to count. It's Sailor Song, Ode to Divorce and Musicbox I'm always singing haha
I saw a show at Edinburgh Fringe this year where the performer was talking about all the little things in his life that make up who he is. During the performance he played the first few seconds of Samson, then talked about how he loves it but how the older version of the song holds the notes longer and how that extra second or two just breaks his heart. I thought it was just me.
Also The Light has such beautiful gems of wisdom in its lyrics: "I know the morning is wiser than the evening" and "so many things I know but they don't help me"
I saw her play in Cincinnati last in, in 23. I had never liked the color yellow; it was too bright and I always felt it was a happy color, a color for other people and their lives. When she played the song What Might Have Been, it changed the way i saw yellow, and I'll never go to another concert and have the way i see color fundementally changed forever. Yellows mine, too.
Im in agreement with everyone else, didn't even think about how impactful this song or artist was toll growing up. Nearing 30 still loving Regina so glad shes alot more famous than young me gave her credit for thinking it was so hipster 😂😂😂
PLEASE release an official CD-quality download of the album (the original production, not this remaster) for purchase, the scalping online is horrible. Love how raw a lot of the takes in it are, and the remaster is well-done but it loses a lot of the grounded grit of the original release.
@@SkarGig HAH, ain't that a mood and a fifth. They reduced a lot of the room noise and minor things like lip smacks and piano thudding in the original release. I really don't appreciate how badly those version are being scalped right now.
I remember using this song to compete in a solo vocalist competition. It was stressful, but I’m glad I did it. We had to cut the second verse because of the sexual innuendo which I didn’t even catch because I was just a 12-year-old sheltered kid.
Take another look at your bibles. It mentions you, you and me and everyone else... In many ways too! In so many of them its simply truth in fullest expression.
She was my biggest inspiration as a writer and creative for almost 20 years. I even have a tattoo for her, but now it just hurts to look at. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
@@membrisavy7760 She's said pretty much nothing about the thousands and thousands of Palestinians killed by Israel over the last year, but she has written several poems about the hostages... It's telling she seemingly has compassion for just one group.
My tears are endless but my heart has enough room... Room for murdered, raped, ano kidnapped innocent Jews. Room for bombed innocent Palestinians suffering and dying in Gaza. Fury at Hamas whose mission is exterminating Jews while hiding behind Palestinian human shields. Israeli government is NOT its people, like any other government on earth. Netanyahu does NOT speak for all Israelis, or all Jews living across the world. In the Middle East- Israel is the ONLY democracy with a chance to vote/protest/ change its government. The ONLY land where LGBTQ people are able to live safely. The ONLY land which doesn't mandate women's dress or behavior. There are 2.1 million Arabs living in Israel and fighting Hamas alongside Israelis. On my lips I have prayers. Please return the hostages taken. Please stop the bombing. Please don't let the world turn on us again, or turn away from us again. Elie Wiesel said that the opposite of Love is not Hate- it's Indifference. I promise to never be indifferent. I will not be indifferent to anyone's suffering. Return the hostages. Stop the bombing. Denounce Hamas. All of this can be done at the same time. Am Yisrael Chai -Regina Spektor I don't know what you want her to say but she stands with the innocent. Edited to add Regina Spektor said it.

I hadn't listened to Regina in MONTHS. Then today, I randomly listened to The Light. And while listening, I saw this notification! Amazingg

@@jiribb9300 This is a famous Russian proverb: "The morning is wiser than the evening" (Утро вечера мудренее).

Is there an original version of that Kill Kenada song she does?
I only know this song from her olready from the first note you hear this is somthing special
♥♥♥
This song will always be embedded with The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
I gotta ask yall, does Spektor still make music or did she retire?
Missed the show in Cincinnati; I had to work. Casual regret for the rest of my life haha.
🇧🇷❤️
i remembered it 0.25x faster..still it's so good

This aged very well 😁😁😁

Exactly! It mentions all of us.
You are my sweetest downfall

Regina is smart and will always stand on the right side of History with Israel
Free Palestine
Regina, I used to love you for many years, but free Palestine.
Period 🍉🍉🍉
😢
Wish I could still listen to this song/your music. You still have comments off on Instagram. Wonder why? Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Yeah it was such a huge disappointment

@@nathanhittle348 oh no :c
so disappointed by you, i was a big fan for almost a decade ☹️
why the disappointment then? She's the greatest
@@membrisavy7760 her seeming carelessness towards palestine and both siding the situation is what my disappointment is
