What We Saw From The Cheap Seats, the sixth official album of the talented Soviet-origin, New-York based, singer-songwriter,
Regina Spektor, was released at the end of May 2012. I think this album is by far good than
Far, her previous, although she offers us the cheap seats here. This album contains few great tracks like "All the rowboats", "How" and interesting "Oh Marcello" and it is very accessible to new audience. I know it's a bit to late, but here I've got an opportunity to pick five (And it's very hard in this case) songs of this great artist.
1)
Samson (Taken from
Begin To Hope, 2006)
In 5 words: Beautiful Biblical love song for Samson
Favourite Line:
Oh I cut his hair myself one night, A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light"
2)
All The Rowboats (Taken from
What We Saw From The Cheap Seats, 2012)
In 5 words: Great tempo and electronic elements
Favourite Line:
All the rowboats in all the paintings, They keep trying to row away
3)
The Ghost Of Corporate Future (Taken from
Soviet Kitsch, 2004)
In 5 words: Don't leave your Soviet legacy behind
Favourite Line:
And everything is Plastic, And everyone's sarcastic
4)
Dance Anthem Of The 80's (Taken from
Far, 2009)
In 5 words: Simple start for an intelligent song
Favourite Line:
It's been a long time since before I've been touched, Now I'm getting touched all the time
5)
Real Love (Taken from
Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign To Save Darfur, 2007) -
John Lennon's cover version
In 5 words: Lennon lies smiling in his grave

Seems like all I really was doing, Was waiting for you
