Artist:Regina Spektor
Song:The Calculation

You went into the kitchen cupboard

Got yourself another hour

And you gave

Half of it to me

We sat there looking at the faces

Of these strangers in the pages

'Til we knew 'em mathematically

They were in our minds

Until forever
But we didn't mind
We didn't know better

So we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces
And it did our thinking while we lived our lives
It counted up our feelings
And divided them up even
And it called that calculation perfect love

Didn't even know that love was bigger
Didn't even know
That love was so, so
Hey Hey Hey

Hey this fire it's burnin'
Burnin' us up

Hey this fire it's burnin'
Burnin' us..
Up

Ohhhhh
Ohh Ohh Ohh

So we made the hard decision
And we each made an incision
Past our muscles and our bones
Saw our hearts were little stones

Pulled 'em out they weren't beating
And we weren't even bleeding
As we lay 'em on the granite counter top

We beat 'em up
Against each other

We beat 'em up
Against each other

We struck 'em hard
Against each other

We struck 'em so hard
So hard until they sparked

Hey this fire it's burnin'
Burnin' us up

Hey this fire it's burnin'
Burnin' us up

Hey this fire it's burnin'
Burnin' us
Up

Ohhhhh
Ohh Ohh Ohh
Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhhh
Woooooooooooooooo
Woooooooooooooooo
Woooooooooooooooo
Ohh Ohh Ohhhhhhhh

    这位在莫斯科出生，纽约长大的俄裔女孩，从小学习钢琴，受到许多古典作曲家影响。到目前为止已经出了三张专辑，以钢琴为基础，配上歌声，以及简单的编曲，就是Regina Spektor。在学生时代，受到许多歌手、同儕的影响，成为了anti-folk反民谣的的一员，不用吉他，反而用传统的钢琴打造出她的音乐世界。她创作的歌曲里融合了古典乐以及流行乐，全面展露了她特殊的风格。

    此番是Regina Spektor在2009年发行的专辑，钢琴依然是主要器乐，从中可见Regina Spektor深厚的古典功底。总之，如果你喜欢流行乐，但同时也对古典乐有些兴趣，或者已经听太多吉他民谣，想要换换口味，又或是厌倦了歌坛许多主流歌手，想寻求一些与眾不同的声音的话，Regina Spektor 是你最好不过的选择。(转自verycd)
