I'm gonna slow things down a bit today. I've been in an inexplicable melancholy mood lately, and nothing says melancholy like Russian-born poet/singer/songwriter/musical genius Regina Spektor. This song is from her 2012 album What We Saw from the Cheap Seats. It seems that she wrote this song for her friend Jessica, who passed away from cancer. It's a short, simple and sad song about the passage of time, which is relevant even if you don't know somebody battling illness. I hope some of you know the song, or at the very least check out Regina Spektor's music if you've never heard of her. Here are the lyrics:
Jessica, wake up.
Jessica, wake up.
It's February again,
We must get older
So wake up.
I can't write a song for you
I'm out of melodies
I can't write a song for you
But I am asking please
Jessica, wake up.
Jessica, wake up.
It's February again,
It's February again,
We must get older now,
So please wake up.
We must get older now,
So please wake up.
