| Regina Spektor – The One Who Stayed and the One Who Left Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
To me this song almost feels like it is the rare occasion when she is speaking her mind. Picture this, she had went back to Moscow, meet the old time friends, chat about their life, and how she is the one who left, vs all other friends who stayed. Then she speaks out her humble and grateful self, how she is built to want more and will keep running till the end. How she love quiet life but still appreciates what an artist life brought her. This pureness is maybe just why we love her so much. |

This song sounds to me like she is depicting Alzheimer, or any kind of degenerative memory / brain disease. Can not thing of any other thing that fits better. The mind grew dark, talking to self, the incompleteness and how no one reads it. But somehow it seems to also apply to so many desperate scene in life.. How could a song of this sad and cruel topic be this hauntingly beautiful and surreal, that part I can't understand. Can't think of much artist have this caliber nowday. |
