setlist 2022

grrr

in my room

March of the 15th

The feeling came but it’s gonna go
Ran away so fast that I wouldn’t know 
Wish it’d follow me everywhere I go 
Came crashing down into the snow 
Remember how to stand up to it 
Coming down and I’m half split 
Remember how to stand up to it 
Close your eyes Fireworks explode 
Im going down the drain I hope 
I forgot it’s never fair 
I been there it’ll take you somewhere 
Remember how to stand up to it 
Coming down and I’m half split
Remember how to stand up to it

Somewhere

On quiet nights I feel the pull
Waking up everything’s so dull
Dreamed last night I forgot it all
Waking up to 12 missed calls 

Face down in the summer grass
On 99 pocket full of tabs
I can’t pick a side to serve 
Either way I don’t deserve 

Dreamed last night I felt it all
Waking up to 12 missed calls 
Dreamed last night I forget it all but 
A shadow picture on the wall

Face Down

you said that we could 
catch up another time
cus i caught you 
on a bad day

you said you’d understand 
when i felt this way
but i know you won’t 
i know you don’t

i’m tired of this new shit
teach me how to be like you
I’m scared of messing up again
cus i still like you how i used to

you said that we could 
catch up another time
cus i caught you 
on a bad day

you said you’d understand 
when i felt this way
but i know you won’t 
i know you fucking don’t 

i know you won’t 
i know you don’t

catch

fall

what could be

fairy seeds

what did we talk about

maybe we can try
to stick together

cus everything besides you
doesn’t mean too much 

oh baby i don’t mind
that you barely try

oh baby i wont lie
you’re my favorite type

we don’t say much
yet i’m staring at your face
like i’m in love with you

the things i write about
make me wonder if i’ll
ever get to be with you

i’d play some duster
sitting next to her
and whisper in her ear
“i love you, dear”

i love you, dear

Birds in the sky
Tears in my eyes 
Time to say goodbye
It gets to hard to try 

I dont need to wake
Ill check out today
Gonna make a stand 
Gonna rule this land

I do what I’m told 
Now its time to fold
Everybody knows
Its set in stones

 I dont need to wake
Ill check out today
Gonna make a stand 
Gonna rule this land

Wake

Lyrics

If I left for long
Think that Id be better 
Everyday is long
Ive been down forever 
 
Hair comes falling out 
Curled up on the grout
Le me sleep tonight
Drift into the sky

When I wake up tomorrow
There no time left to borrow
When I wake up tomorrow 
Just take away my sorrow

Wake to candy eyes    
Pull me back to life 
take away the sorrow
just a dream tomorrow

Tomorrow

before the party

It’s Alright (Mother Mother)

Regina Spektor playing an own version of No Surprises, originally performed by Radiohead, which can be found on the album OK Computer (1997).

This is a second cover done by Regina Spektor, performed and recorded in the Triple J studios, affiliated with ABC.
http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/

The first cover was released with the purpose of raising money and awareness of the charity organisation "Doctors Without Borders Emergency Relief Fund". 
To respect Regina Spektor's intentions behind this song, I encourage you to visit the website and buy the first cover on iTunes if you can spare it:
https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/donate/

My opinion and some info about this song:
This second version is less true to the original, and has more of a personal touch compared to the first.
No surprises being a silent though desperate plea for silence, for escaping all the mess in life, Regina elegantly captures this feeling, and her comforting and understanding voice resonates with the frustrations and fatigue in all of us.
 
Radiohead and Regina Spektor both make amazing music, and any one who respects music shouldn't compare these one-dimensionally by suggesting that there's a better version.
There's a subtle difference in how the songs resonates with our feelings, and what specific mood it brings us in. Both however, are brilliant in capturing a complex but strong feeling.
I recommend checking out both artists and their albums. These are one of those few artists who are consistent in their quality:

I hope you will enjoy the music!

Regina Spektor - No Surprises (Radiohead Cover) [Live on Triple J Radio]

"a pop/sound art album written and recorded while on spring break. the original idea for the project was to set every project and obligation i had aside and just write and record music constantly. there would be no rules and no limitations, beyond the time-limit. 
i did just that. 

thanks to colleen wynn for the cover art (she also designed the unlimited-free-milkshakes label logo!) check her out here - www.flickr.com/photos/colleen-w "

i was my own favorite tv show the summer my tv broke

Lyrics

oil puddles in the Costco lot
everything in the biggest box
birds choke on six pack plastic
everybody says life's fantastic
and I don't know 
where I'm supposed to go
think I need some time alone
mid day nowhere to be
no job just turned 19
everybody's leaving home
guess that leaves me all alone
I dont know 
where the time all goes
somebody take me home
I fucking hate my phone
I dont know
where I'm supposed to go
think I need some time alone
somebody take me home

Hate My Phone (Demo)

lyrics

stare into a silver screen
my eyes glaze and I can't see
where I find my inner peace 
fall into a dreamless sleep 
I feel fine yeah I guess I feel indifferent 
voices whine yeah they make little difference 
you reach out for my hand 
I'm not a man I'm made of sand 
touch the ground but I won't stay 
cuz I can't help but blow away 
don't know why it always feels like somethings missing 
voices whine yeah but they make little difference 
I feel fine yeah I guess I feel indeferent

Sand (Demo)

Lyrics

Were checking out for today 
And tomorrow thats okay
Were entertained forever chained
Now theres no escaping from this pain

Were entertained forever chained
Theres no escaping from this pain
Were entertained forever chained
And theres no escaping from this pain

And I still dont know where this leads
Theres so many things i need
And i dont wanna bring you pain
But my heads stuck in the drain and I'm

Entertained forever chained
Theres no escaping from this pain
Were entertained forever chained
And theres no escaping from this pain

Its so hard hard when i'm with you
And its so hard without you
Im not good but i've been true
And its been hard when were cracked in two

Wake
