Regina Spektor - Call Them Brothers Lyrics

*takes deep breath* creativitwinscreativitwinscreativitwinscreativitwinscreativitwinscreativitwinscreativitwinscreativitwins

This makes me think of Roman and Remus from Sanders Sides. They split during Thomas's development, thus "That's it, it's split" and they can't go back to being a whole thus "It won't recover". They were framed good and bad, friendly and intrusive. "Frame the halves and call them brothers". Roman and Remus are technically brothers, almost twins if not for their separate and different roles.

I was thinking the exact same thing!! Roman and Remus really do fit!!

1:35 - 2:00

I love listening to you

I LOVE HER

Ось і усе, воно розпалося – Воно більш не збереться
Просто вставте частинки у рамки та назвіть їх братами
Знайдіть своїх татусів та ваших матусь
Якщо пам'ятаєте хто вони є

Знову і знову, вони звуть нас своїми друзями
Хіба ми не можемо знайти щось інше, що вдати?
Начебто ніхто не переміг, і ми у безпеці наприкінці

У темряві, прожектор круте колесико з плівкою
То давайте залишимо його рухатись
Ми будимо на вулицях
До того, як хто-небудь помітить, що нас більш нема

Ось і все, воно розділене тай не відновиться
Просто вставляйте уламки у рамки та звіть їх братіями
Й вирізайте свої імена на цеглинках, та наповніть свої кишені
Частинками стіни, що ви поцюпили

Полювання відбувається, усі ганяються
Усі ганяють постріл,
Постріл дзвінкує, ніхто його не хоче
Ніхто його не хоче зупинити

Ось і усе, воно розкололося – Воно більш не відновиться
Просто вставте половинки у рамки та звіть їх братцями
Знайдіть своїх татусів та матусь
Якщо пам'ятаєте хто вони є
Якщо ви пам'ятаєте
Якщо пам'ятаєте
Хто вони

It can also speak about the end of the world many interpretations are possible...

This could be the theme for The Umbrella Academy kids

this video makes me feel warm and happy :)

2019.1.1

When they released this song I’d listened to it all the time, I have such a good memory of 2012 while listening to this lovely song ❤️

1:14 was filmed in Petegof, Saint-Petersburg and the fountain at 1:43 is called Samson (Tearing the Lion's Jaws). Thought you should know

Perfect.

someone knows what book is in second 0:59

Xanath Luna Marina Tsvetaeva In the inmost hour of the soul, a Russian and Soviet poet

This is about Germany. The wall split them, so call them brothers. When they tore down the wall a people filled their pockets with the peices of the wall that you stole.

This can choke

Nice tune.

no nudity...pure music...positive

This song is legit gorgeous, more beautiful than I'll ever be...

Bulb Bulb your words are beautiful, don't feel down. stay determined ^¬^
*hugs*

More wonderful Regina.! 💕

Really sad song!!!

Hanzo and Genji.

this song is a masterpiece

I've been in love of this song since 2012.

So short; so sublime.

I know it's probably obvious, but I think this song is about the Soviet Union. Specifically, a family split up by the East Germany West Germany divide, and not being able to connect again when the Berlin Wall falls. "That's it it split it came recover- frame the halves and call them brothers" is both figurative and literal....and whatever. I hope that made sense.

You know I truly didn't think about it, I just love her voice and really enjoy singing along and I didn't think about the actual geographic divide, so thank you for the perspective I feel a little dim for not realizing that sooner

hm maybe you are right, but we will never know, Regina intentionally keeps her songs meanings in secret.
"fill up your pockets with the pieces of the wall that you stole", "the hunt is on" and "everyone's chasing a shot"... it could be about Berlin

Regina and Jack were born in the USSR (Russia).
Pictures show Moscow and a young couple of 70-80's. The girl has a mink hat and astrakhan coat. The guy has a funny Russian fur hat. These are memories of parents when they were young, about their previous life, which was destroyed by migration. The relationship between children and parents was changed. All this has nothing to do with the German Berlin Wall. This is a nostalgic song.

she LOVES the camera lens

1:30 and that whole section is my favorite

and 0:43 - 1:02 is my favorite

REGINA SPEKTOR I LOVE YOU SONG!!

which means the lyrics of the song? (Sorry if I misspelled is the translation)

love it

How did I not know this existed aaaah

I know right

Agree! And you arrived two months earlier!

amazing song.

;-;

cry just cry

Riz snipe here *gives chocolate* this is the key to happiness

Purchase in da house . Bless up jack , always. , Phrogg

if you look behind him in 0:36 you'll see where the rock went

Berlin Wall

what book is she reading??

It's poetry by Marina Tsvetaeva

This version tripped me up when I first heard it

Marvel Civil War in a nutshell.

I just found you and this song as I listened to about 5 of your songs so far....you are sooo AWESOME! I don't like most songs and music...
My brother died not to long ago, and I was looking for something...that connects to him and our life. This is strange, because we do not know who are parents are...and we have this bond and we has a sorrowful unusual life as also our adoptive parents partially and off and on tried to get rid of us and separate us..and we sought each other out and a few others tried to keep us together. Needless to say ..most of these other songs don't fit our life...BUT THIS IS IT
I love your songs...

🌤☀️🌈✌️

Nice soft song.

Is this about Russian civil war?

I think it's about the fall of the Berlin Wall

The split of communist Russia

Thanks for letting us know. Do you have any references? I would like to read more about this song.

I completely forgot about Regina Spektor....discovering her music all over again is magical! ♡♡

Ruby Levingstone I don't know you could, but I'm glad you're back!

Ruby Levingstone You’ve failed at life if you forgot regina spektor lol

@Polarwhisper6 that is so true

i think the song is about how war changes lives...like in the start they were enjoying themselves and then the war starts and things start getting dark and serious..."find your fathers and your mothers if you remember who they are" this line basically points to the future generation who lost parents in the war

It's about the split of Communist Russia

I FUCKING LOVE YOU, LOVELY REGINA <3

your music an inspiration

thanky ou so mcuaha for asuahrting

ooh so good like so much

Love 'em!

Love this song....saw both of them in Berlin......Regina is so beautiful

did you remember palestinians are brothers too when you decided to support Isarel's terror on them ?

i love the song
but I don't understand wut the video about

+Lala Leamon Sorry if I'm a little late, but since their married, I'm pretty sure it's just supposed to be home video footage at the beginning. Then a war starts and eventually it starts controlling their entire lives (the masks). I think that maybe the shots where Regina is walking around the busts means her husband went to fight the war? At the end, when there are the still photographs, it means that either the war is still on and her husband came back for reasons unknown, or more likely, the war was so damaging to both of them that their once carefree relationship is tainted, constantly proper and uncomfortable and never the same again.

+Rosi Moone its OK and nice theory for the video

This song gives me chill every time I listen to it.I really love the way Regina sing. its just perfect

Какой красивый Петергоф и Санкт-Петербург тут. Прекрасный клип и песня. Браво! Слушаю третий год.

This video is absolutely amazing. I love this song so much and to see this video made me love it 10x more. Regina is so original and they are so perfect together, her and Jack Dishel .

Amy Jean they make such a cute couple. They are an inspiration to young and old.

i almost cried

This sounds a bit like Elliot Smith. I love it.

Yes i think the same

Just looked him up. He's wonderful! Thank you guys!

Wish I was Jack Dishel. :(

They both immigrated from Moscow and now they're married. The way I see it this song is about losing touch with your roots, or having your life turned upside down, following the fall of the Soviet Union, and hoping for the best. "Find your fathers and your mothers if you remember who they are."

🌤☀️🌈✌️

It's a perfect 🎶

For some reason I think of two children's parents spliting up and the kids went their separate ways and then it's been so long so they don't really know what there parents look like anymore and the nobody wants it to stop bit is about the relationship but I guess that's just my opinion

Burdan ablama selamlar

Esta es la razón por la que amo el anti-folk

whats this song about? 

thx.... 

About coming to see old friends that used to mean so much to you, but now you have nothing in common and it's more like a torture to be together.

@hamletub IMHO

@Stephanie Jackson A lot of people agree that it's about the fall of the Berlin wall. The two sides were separated, most families never got to see each other. 'Chip at the bricks, fill up your pockets' is something that happened when the wall was torn down. It's very Regina-ish to use history to convey a message, but her songs rarely have the same meaning. (: I'm content with just hearing the lovely sounds.

I love your style of video, they're so cool and amazing!!!!!

that is beautiful wow:)

Jack Dishel is the luckiest guy in the world :)

Yeah, her wife is the most beautiful woman in the world :(

And we are lucky to have found Regina

I don't understand very well. What is the song talking about?

are they a couple? 

Im pretty sure that is her husband. 

+Takarafire They had a baby :)

What an absolutely beautiful video. :)

Like a childhood home video. Sentimental..sad...beautiful...bittersweet...
Too...many...ellipses...

this song always makes me think of my parents divorce when i was a kid i think it could have a lot of meanings for different people

Qué mas les quedaba que casarse, cuando sus voces juntas suenan tan cercanas a la perfección

This song is awesome I love it so much

smanlel were here

They're having a baby!!! so much love <333

Gosh I just love everything she does.

Te Amo Regina Te Amooooooooooooooooooooo

If you read the description it looks like this is about a brother and a sister not a romance 

I love you and your voize :)

Te amo Regina !!!

I'm pretty pissed that this russian dude took my girl before I even got the chance to try but hey this song is super good and dude can sing in a soft ass folkish way which is always awesome

Thanks a lot for this one. Really love it.

Love this

I believe, but I may be wrong about this, that this is the version on Only Son's album. There's another version on Regina Spektor's album (What We Saw From The Cheap Seats, deluxe edition). I love both of them but the video for this is just so beautiful.

I love this my friend Mikki sang this and it was good

Gracias Regina,mil !! No se quién, ni como fué, pero esta vez la pegaron con la recomenDATA !! Muy bonito,reconforta el alma !!

Crying from the song and their everything!!!

Нет, это Цветаева - "Час души".

Регина читала Мастера и Маргариту, или мне показалось? =)

Point made. I don´t think he´s 'as amazing as her'... but I get why he´s an exception ;D
Ps: I quite Dig his band´s work, don´t get me wrong... Just think it doesn´t fill up her shoes.

Regi really looks like my mother when she was younger in that video! She's stunning! And I love this version of the song so so much!

This song always reminds me of my dad. His brother was in the Soviet army during the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. He was killed in a fight during the animosity in the leading up the the fall of the wall. This just seems to fit so well

shut up.

if a only son calls someone brother is he still a only son?

This is an amazing song.

i want to know the exact meaning of this, i know its sad and it hhas something to do with russia, and i assume the berlin wall

Thank you very much
