These comments were echoed with the release of "Far" in 2009. We understand your nostalgia and the urge to cower from change when it comes to your beloved artists, but, the truth is, Spektor still produces beautiful music and you can see it for yourself when it's performed live-in-a-way with the concert film Regina Spektor: Live in London this Sunday at the Alamo Ritz. Good news for everyone is that the setlist for Live in London features songs from all five of her albums, plus three new offerings that have only been performed live.
For the record: as a lyricist, Spektor's more recent music still packs a double-punch, even if it's considered simpler than her early work. Whether it's talk about how "the Bible never mentioned us" in "Samson" or the to-the-point (and, yes, catchy) grandness of "On the Radio"...
"This is how it works: you're young until you're not. You love until you don't. You try until you can't. You laugh until you cry. You cry until you laugh. And everyone must breathe until their dying breath. No, this is how it works: you peer inside yourself. You take the things you like and try to love the things you took. And then you take that love you made and you stick it into some-someone else's heart, pumping someone else's blood. And walking arm-in-arm, you hope it don't get harmed, but even if it does, you'll just do it all again."
The thing is, other humans have ears. And, if the music you're into is as good as you say it is, isn't it a wonderful thing that other people are smart enough to catch on?
