In the mood for some Regina Spektor and this is one of her songs I have playing constantly on my MP3-player(yes, it's just an MP3-player--no iPod or brand name). Just never get tired of this song.
And....I'll dedicate this song to a unique and caring blogger who lives in Guatemala(and loves music and radios..), and whose birthday it is happens to be today(Hola, Claudia!).

*********
On the radio
We heard, 'November Rain'
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Case the DJ was asleep
This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again
And on the radio
You hear, 'November Rain'
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio, on the radio
On the radio, uh oh, on the radio, uh oh
On the radio, uh oh, on the radio

What a fun song to start my morning. Did you see Regina on SNL recently hosted by Drew Barrymore? I enjoy her music too. Have a great Thanksgiving week. ~Rosemary
~Arty,
If you do get a chance to listen, I *hope* you like Regina!
~Protege,
You are so intuitive, so it is funny how you picked up on Claudia's birthday from her blog entry even though she didn't come right out and say it..
~Rosemary,
I missed that SNL, apparently. And...I am glad to know you like this lady's music!! My daughter confiscated her newest CD when I bought it in late June and played it all summer and fall and only this past weekend returned it to me(when she deep-cleaned her room in anticipation of the arrival of her cousins)
