Now I'm officially in love with this singer. What's it have to do with Russia and culture stuff?
Well, Regina was born in Moscow in a Jewish family and moved to the USA at the age of 9. So here's your third-culture kid.
This song features an extract from a Russian poem (the second link from the top shows the translation) by Boris Pasternak.

I love Regina Spektor but had no idea she was born in Russia. How interesting...
Thanks for that :)
Очень интересная певица, потрясающая информация о ней и её репертуаре. Сегодня немногие поют на стихи Пастернака.
Спасибо тебе, я многому у тебя учусь.
Hi Rose,
Welcome to my blog. Thanks for leaving a comment. Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed if I hadn't read that somewhere. :)
Не за что, всегда рады. :)
Great signer indeed. Would I be wrong if I were to speculate she's also a songwriter?
She reminds of Tori Amos, which is kind of weird because I was listening to her when I drop by today!
Cheers!
Crazykinux,
Right you are. I thought it was self-evident, so I never wrote that, but she should sure receive credit for being a pianist and a songwriter, too.
That's what I hear a lot, too - about Tori Amos, but Amos' songs I've listened too were somewhat more "lyrical" and less "iffy" than those of Spektor. Though I'm not an expert, anyway.
