Regina Spektor- Folding Chair

What I love about Regina Spektor:
1)Her lyrics are so random, but yet hold so much meaning.
2)Her music is so basic but always portrays her emotions perfectly.
3)Her voice is BEAUTIFUL, but also she is not afraid to sound like an idiot!


I particularly like this song because everything about it SO simple, but it gives me the chills every time. (Those of us who play the piano can tell she is no Mozart. I mean- the tune is basically "Heart and Soul" with some extra bounce and the beat is a little different- but...it's..AMAZING.) She is just describing a moment she is having on the beach- and the thoughts that are going through her head.



Folding Chair:
Come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there’s a breeze
There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies

Let’s get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy
I’ll safety-pin his clothes all cool and you’ll grafitti up his toys
I’ve got a perfect body, though sometimes I forget
I’ve got a perfect body cause my eyelashes catch my sweat
Yes, they do, they do…

Now i’ve been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
But every time the tide come in to take me home
I get scared, and I’m sitting here alone
Dreaming of the dolphin song…

Maybe one day you will understand
I don’t want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
Till that day just please don’t be so down
Don’t make frowns, you silly clown

Just come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there’s a breeze
There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes
And the waves are just a frothier version of the skies

There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes…
