Regina Spektor - All The Rowboats Lyrics

there are certain things that one cant say out loud, hm ... is this, 'What You Want' --> https://soundcloud.com/bkcenturies_painter/what-you-want

Impeccable technique...

god i love her SO MUCH
thank god the toxic girl i had a crush on in middle school was edgy and introduced me into regina 😂

Incredible!!

Credible

Look at the planets I've destroyed and the galaxies I also have destroyed with nothing but my great from my naked lungs alone.

If the state not like that I destroy the stars.

Star have no say in earth. I God alone am Judge. Stars are pretty pictures. God is the Judge.

I study things like telepathy because of bad singers like this.

2019? I love the song 😍😍😍

Absolute beauty

I have an amazing Regina Spektor past. In 2012, when I was 3 turning 4 in December, I was shown the "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" album and fell in love with "Don't Leave Me" and "All The Rowboats". My family and I every night would lie down and listen to "Samson" and it would make us so tired and ready for bed every night. I would also listen to old songs like "Fidelity", "Us", and "On The Radio" and loved it! Then, she stopped making songs for a few years, and I would listen to her sometimes but I kinda forgot about her and focused on Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade more. Then, my mom showed me one day that she had posted a video 4 years later. Then I fell in love with the song at 7 years old not really knowing what the lyrics meant, and I went to her concert where she used some curse words, and I'd be shocked by them. Then I totally forgot about her until last weekend. If you don't know, I'm now a huge Dance Moms friends, and I would always imagine them doing solos, so I kept trying to think of songs, and then I come across Regina Spektor again and I fell in love with her once again! If you don't remember me Regina, I was the little kid you took a picture with. That's my Regina Spektor Story!

Key? Jk lol

This makes me feel like something is going away from me and I can't reach it, Like I am in deep melancholy and whole life is passing infront of me like I am just an observer.

God I pity the violins...

September 2019 who else still listening?♥️

Have forgotten. Is their fault for being timeless.

We are annotating this at school XD

Amazing song, very underrated

The music is good, the lyric way too deep, Regina is beautiful, and the video pretty pretty dumb, lol

All the rowboats in the paintings
They keep trying to row away
And the captains' worried faces
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
They'll keep hanging in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

Such a clever song. Wonderful. Thank you. Never stop being you.

this song literally makes me tingle ... I love the drama!!!! intense!

Every other second, an ad pops up.

They won't stay there forever, they will eventually realize they're entitled to the magic and the life they had when they were designed and made, then they'll recover them.

Of course they probably will no longer be eternally admired, and probably there will be no gold but they'll realize there won't be any frame arround them either.

Does anybody understand what this song is actually about?

I love the stop-motion style animation in this video. It's such a simple idea done amazingly well and really works with the song.

I'm so intrigued

Okay weird. I just discovered this song this morning while I was cleaning my room. I feel like I can relate to it on a spiritual level 😂 My last name is Rowe and I paint 👌Hahahaha
I'm going to pretend Regina Spektor wrote this song for me without being aware of it seven years ago....

The piano is so hauntingly beautiful

One mistake can last a century.

I dance to this song this year 😂 we have an actual boat and it’s weird

Who on EARTH could thumbs down this song/video? Fools.

You know, every two-bit pop musician can write a song about love, sex or relationships. There are millions of the like out there with 99% of them meriting little attention. But rare is the popular musician who can compose an compelling, thoughtful, and unique piece commenting upon objectified state of art on display in our modern culture. Regina's such an underrated artist despite being so critically and commercially acclaimed.

I knew the scientific aspect of what this video want to describe but I will be called mad religious dogma but it's related to eternal energy cycle .

Is that Regina spektor himself wow I want to tell her more of what I know she would be Saint of god no joking here.

TUFF! TUFTUTUFF! TUFTUFTUFFFTUFFF

1:20 Beethoven, Schubert, Tchaikovsky and Bach are proud

I love her stuff but, wow, she really needs to make her mind up......is it black or is it white, Regina?

She's underrated, her talent is amazing 💕

She looks like young Claire Forlani.

She looks like young Claire Forlani...

Regina what have you given yourself to

Still an amazing track

Love you Re <3

I feel like this song is about people. Maybe I'm projecting.

This should be the theme song for velvet buzzsaw

Here from the book Vain By Amelie Fisher.

1:41 the best moment

Bravissima

Her talent (and hotness) blow me away.

The first time I heard this song was the Summer of 2012 on a CBC Radio station. The city was in the midst of a Blackout (now known as Blackout 2012). And i was listening to that CBC Radio station on a tiny little radio with headphones, and this song came on, and it will forever stick with me from that moment in time. Also, I could listen to this song all day every day and it will always be amazing.

I do like this song, however I feel like it is the same notes over again. It is quite boring to sing because if this, there is no change in range really.

However the lyrics make up for this

This is called quality music
My dance class did our recital piece to this and it was modern and it rocked

Let's bump this up to 5 million, shall we?

You are so gorgeous in this video. damn, this song moves me every time I hear it. Brings me back to my weird days in high school

<3 moon

Евреи все таки замечательный народ.

Love love loved this song and the video!!! I bought all her CD's.

Still, she sounds crazy, does it make me crazy for listening and like her songs ?

Fire whoever convinced you to do this video. Makes no sense. Disappointed

This is reminding me of my trip to the Louvre earlier this year, and it's casting that trip in a far more sinister light.

I swear, I hadn't heard this song in so long I literally had to search up "violins trapped behind glass" because that was the only line I remembered.

This song reminds me of the Thriller Bark arc in One Piece.

She rocks

Como te doy

Thanx for the IDM Nía, something good that I had left of you

my favorite singer for 10 years! so pretty and talented.

so beautiful and talented

2.03 - 2.23

Better than jimi, page, keef... Lol

This song is amazing. This video is trash

This is my favorite song!!

Please collab with Lindsey Stirling, Regina! You two would be SOOO awesome!!!

Little Shadow, Forest Girl Great Idea 👍

I pity the violence

Lennon/McCartney rolled up into one.

I am a huge fan.

It is good to not be a work of art.

Love this ladies songs. Waiting for the tour of Australia to be announced.

1:33 she dabbed

I'm not sorry

I saw the hidden dab, what does it mean?

💜🎶💜

worst crap.

Poetics and Aesthetics class brought me here XD

I wonder how many people understand the irony of commenting on Regina's beauty and nothing else on this song in particular.

Yeah, but she's really something, isn't she?

So? She's amazing... We all know this,we don't all need to get all existential,and angst-y to appreciate her. She Is beautiful,can't get around that fact. Doesn't mean we don't appreciate the song. We just love to look and listen at the same time,to bask in the magnificent aura of Her presence. It's a whole gestalt experience with Regina.
I suppose,be you male female attack helicopter,or lycanthrope, You only listen to the message huh? It's why we watch videos instead of only listening to the radio.
Yes it could be misconstrued as shallow if everything on this thread was purely about her looks.
It ain't though is it? We love her; her physical beauty; the beauty of her prose,and the beauty of Her in the whole.

I was mainly gonna say how wonderful she looks in casual clothes,but you pissed me off. But damn don't she look swell in a pair of tight pants and a t-shirt!!????

Tremendo temazo disparos por todas partes me encanta porque soy un gunner de nacimiento

All the rowboats in the paintings
They keep trying to row away
And the captains' worried faces
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
They'll keep hanging in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

Hear them whispering french and german
Dutch, italian, and latin
When no one's looking i fetch a sculpture
Marble, gold, and soft as satin
But the most special are the most lonely
God, i pity the violins
In glass coffins they keep coughing
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing

First there's lights out, then there's lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It's their own fault for being timeless
There's a price you pay and a consequence
All the galleries, the museums
Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs
They're just public mausoleums
The living dead fill every room
But the most special are the most lonely
God, i pity the violins
In glass coffins they keep coughing
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing

They will stay there in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

First there's lights out, then there's lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It's their own fault for being timeless
There's a price you pay and a consequence
All the galleries, the museums
They will stay there forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

What music genre does Regina's songs fit into?

BEAUTIFUL & AWESOME ... Big THANKS & LOVE from SERBIA ... 😎

Que voz linda !

Only singer I have seen who rips off her own songs. The beginning of this song is same as the "Dance Anthem of the 80's". Not hating, just pointing it out.

there are different chords, the chord progression is just similar at the beginning. I'm pretty sure I can find the same amount of repetition in songs of the majority of singers.

#ArtsLivesMatter

wow no one noticed that this song's tunes are taken from an old song ''Goodbye - SR 71'' kinda disappointing

2 out of 4 chords are the same. so no

Reminds me of "Night at the Museum," only 10x more dramatic. Oh gosh I love this song.

You are sooooo perfect!!! <3

Omg I don't think anyone will see this but THANK YOU BALLET FOR SHOWING ME THIS SONG I CANT GET IT OUT OF ME HEAD
