Regina and Vanessa shouldn't really be compared to each other. sure, regina does all the weird things like clicking, warblings w/e and vanessa just does straight up pop/alternative music. Both are great, both are AMAZING, let's leave it like that!  :)

Um, yes, Regina has a shit load of songs, and they have to be simple in order for her to remember how to play them.


That seems really funny to me. I suppose it's true. But don't you think if you wrote a complex song you would likely still remember it because of all the mental energy you put into it? And sometimes all I need to remember is the beginning of a piano song and it's like my hands know the rest.

but oh yea I just remember reading a regina quote where she said she's actually written tons more songs than she has recorded, but it's just been too many for her to remember. wow i guess that settles that

and I agree, Regina's piano is simple percussion most of the time and vanessa incorporates many many more classical elements. There are maybe 3 regina songs that show off any advanced piano at all. When I was first listening to her I assumed she was self taught.

Quote from: "portions.for.foxes"

I've been playing the piano for 13 years (I wrote 12 before and I just turned 21, so it's 13 now, I keep forgetting, heh) and study at a music school, and also have the ability to recognize simple writing when I see it.  


I've been playing for 13 too~ stopped taking lessons a few years ago and have been writing since. You probably know a hell of a lot more about music than I do, at least in some respects.  I have a few of my songs uploaded... I would love to get some critique, if you're down for it?


lol Sure, I wouldn't mind offering my insight. Just point me in the right direction.

So one of my former best friends from like middle school is in the new video for "better"..she's one of the Regina's hahaha. i was browsing myspace & yeah it was on her page & I could actually find her. She's the girl that's holding up an umbrella (the part where there's just one girl holding it up). Totally surprised I found her.

I'm gonna see her at an xmas party next month our old girl scout leader is throwing (she still keeps in touch with most of us) but i dont really wanna see her ah dangit lol but thats another story.

Quote from: "PianoGirl4444"
She is quite a character...I LOVE what she said in her journal here:

"Most importantly, though, i wish you all the best, and hope you have fun living, breathing, clicking on things, petting things, talking to things, hanging things up to dry(an underrated fun activity...) and loving things...  hip hip hooray"

That made my day.

And her video for "Us" is really frickin' cool.   :D


I bumped into Regina's radio cut of 'Better' while working at Kookoo Vino
one afternoon. Thanks to her 'Alternate' classification, she recieves more
air play 'Down Under' on networks like JJJ that we play at work. All of the
props in this thread confirm what I've felt from the start. Regina ROCKS!!



The cover art for Regina's "Mary Ann MTG" compilation looks so familiar

Peace

Got home after an absolute whirlwind of a day where I was without my car
and had to walk in the rain; but I came home and stuck Ms Spektor's work
on and everything seemed alright. The brilliance in her music is distracting
(If a more concise use of 3min, 22sec. than 'Better' exists I'd  :heart: to hear it)

Peace

"Better" will rank in the Top 10 "Songs you can't get out of your head" for
a very long time me thinks; maybe it was just the very ordinary rain, but I
was in need of a melody to dry out to and 'Better' fitted the bill perfectly :-)

Quote
If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all

Born like sisters to this world
In a town where blood ties are only blood
If you never say your name out loud to anyone
They can never ever call you by it

If I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all

You're getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder
And I don't understand, and I don't understand
But if I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Will you feel better, better, better
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all...


Peace
