REGINA SPEKTOR: APRÈS MOI.


REGINA SPEKTOR is a Rusian-born American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered in New York City's East Village. Regina starts her career in 2000, and she has released six álbums to date. Today, we chose an awesome song from his discography: APRÈS MOI  (Begin to hope, 2006). Stands out above all the incessant piano and the soundness of Regina, singing her lyrics in english, french and russian. PETER GABRIEL can't get out this song of his head and it was covered in his last album (Scratch My Back, 2010).



LYRICS

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le deluge, after me comes the flood

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi le deluge, after me comes the flood

Fevrale dostat chernil i plakat
Pisat O Fevrale navsnryd
Poka grohochushaya slyakot
Vesnoyu charnoyu gorit

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi le deluge, after me comes the flood

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, It's not my choice

I must go on stan-stan-ding-ding
You can't, can't break that, that
Which isn't, isn't yours, yours
I'm not, not my own, own
It's not, not my choice, choice 


APRÈS MOI covered by PETER GABRIEL

Yes, very Different and rare. But I think she is the heiress of Tori Amos. Her songs are polyhedral. I think she is one of the most interesting songswriter now.
