Regina Spektor - 31 anos

Regina Spektor (Moscovo, 18 de Fevereiro de 1980), é uma cantora, compositora e pianista russa radicada nos Estados Unidos. Sua música é associada ao cenário antifolk de Nova Iorque localizado no East Village.

Regina Spektor nasceu em Moscovo, na extinta União Soviética, numa família de músicos: seu pai, um fotógrafo, era também um violinista amador, e sua mãe era uma professora de música da Universidade de Música Russa (agora ela lecciona numa escola pública em Mount Vernon, Nova Iorque). 

Regina aprendeu a tocar piano praticando em um "Petrof" que sua mãe havia recebido de seu avô. Ela também conviveu com a música de bandas de rock como The Beatles, Queen, e The Moody Blues graças a seu pai, que trouxe cassetes da União Soviética. A família deixou o país em 1989, quando Regina tinha nove anos, durante o período da Perestroika, quando era permitido que os cidadãos judeus emigrassem. Nessa ocasião, Regina teve que deixar seu piano para trás. A importância dos estudos de piano fez com que seus pais pensassem duas vezes antes de sair do país, mas por razões políticas e religiosas decidiram fazê-lo.

Viajando primeiro para a Áustria e depois para a Itália, sua família se estabeleceu no Bronx, em Nova Iorque, onde Regina se formou na SAR Academy, uma escola yeshiva de médio porte. Ela então, cursou dois anos na Frisch School e outros dois na Fair Lawn High School, onde terminou seus estudos.

Regina no começo se interessava apenas por música clássica, mas depois passou a se interessar também por hip hop, rock, e punk.

Better - Regina Spektor

If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all

Born like sisters to this world
In a town where blood ties are only blood
If you never say your name out loud to anyone
They can never ever call you by it

If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all

You're getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder
And I don't understand, and I don't understand
But if I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all...

Enquanto espero que passe, uma musiquinha de que gosto muito!

Mika - Any other World

In any other world You could tell the difference And let it all unfurl Into broken remenance Smile like you mean it And let youreself let go Cos its all in the hands Of a bitter bitter of man Say goodbye to the world You thought you lived in Take a bow Play the part Of a lonely lonely heart Say goodbye to the world You thought you lived in To the world you thought you lived in I try to live alone But lonely is so lonely So human as I am I had to give up my defences So I smile and try to mean it To make myself let go Cos it's all in the hands Of a bitter bitter man Say goodbye to the world You thought you lived in Take a bow Play the part Of a lonely lonely heart Say goodbye to the world You thought you lived in To the world you thought you lived in Cos it's all in the hands Of a bitter bitter man Say goodbye to world You thought you lived in Take a bow Play the part Of a lonely lonely heart Say goodbye to the world You thought you lived in Say goodbye to the world You thought you lived in Say goodbye to the world You thought you lived in Say goodbye to the world You thought you lived in Say goodbye to the world You thought you lived in To the world you thought you lived in In any other world you could tell the difference
