I've Got Some Respekt

Now, every once in a while I stumble upon artists that end up being pretty awesome. Something that doesn't sound like everybody else, and actually has a deep meaning to it.

Heck, music that has a deep meaning that isn't plainly obvious or easily decided because there's so many ways you could look at it. The first time you hear the song you'll be thinking that some guy has some pretty big issues. The second time you hear the song you'll start thinking about the connections between it and Russian history.

I discovered one of this artists a little while ago.

Admittedly I've really only listened to her Far album, so I can't say much about the rest of her music. I can only assume her older stuff has it's perks.

But this artist I have discovered is Regina Spektor ( Wikipedia | Amazon).

She plays piano, and sings her music, and the interlocking piano harmonies add flavor to her lyrics, which have meanings you could spend hours thinking about.

Here's some suggested listening(YouTube links):
