| Regina Spektor – Après Moi Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It remains me to Erlkönig, by Franz Schubert. (if you haven't, listen to it, you'll love it, from 1850 but very Spektor-ish) I knew this song (Après moi) not from the album version, but from the "Austin City Limits" recital (2007) and I fell in love! I thought it was the best Regina song. But then I heard the album version and -- well, maybe I won't be loved for saying this but -- I don't know, all those midi instruments butting in... :S Please watch it in youtube, type "Après Moi Austin City", there it is, the best version of the best song of the best living composer! (btw, she couldn't be sweeter, saying "Hi Mom! Hi Dad!") |

HibbingismyHolyLand: Sure! Just keep in mind that chord sucession is one of the biggest common places in music (I, IV, VII, III) in this case in C minor (Cm, Fm, Bb, Eb) and you can't make a melody over those chords without sounding like a hundred existing songs. So you could say the Phantom of the Opera borrowed it from many other, who borrowed from others, 'till you arrive to early Barroque (1600) when that sucession was invented/discovered. (sorry for my bad english) |

Just a little lyrics correction: "Don't let me out of this kiss" (and not: "Don't let me GET out of this kiss" Like saying: "This is a meaningful kiss, art (everything I believe in) can be defeated, but you're my shelter, so please BE in this kiss" -sorry for my bad english |

I don't want to be impromper, but doesn't anyone else find the sentence "hold in your breath 'til you come" like a pun? |

A tiny correction: "and the pride inside their eyes is synchronised to a love you'VE never know (not "you'll")" much more sense! |
