link one song you’d like to share with everyone and give an explanation of why you enjoy it. explanation can be simple or complex, doesn’t matter
i’ll start: my song is the tom and jerry show by hiromi uehara. here is a longer version with a beautiful melodic section in the middle
basically i like it because it’s completely badass haha. extremely virtuosic, in a way that you don’t really see in contemporary (and tonal) solo piano pieces anymore. it’s also incredibly fun and you can tell how into it she is in the first recording. that’s always what’s most impressive to me, when people make slight mistakes but are so in the zone that no one notices and the whole experience is unchanged. the jazz harmonies and rhythms in the melodic section of the second version are just so juicy too.
very interesting, it’s been a while since i listened to regina spektor and this has a very different sound to it. somedays, rejazz and ezra pound were some of my favorites. thanks for sharing!!
The style of this song stands out even from the other songs on the same album. Goes well with “The Trapper and the Furier” on the same album. As a socialist you’ll appreciate it and respect Regina Spektor that much more.

It’s hard to respect Regina Spektor as a socialist because she is a Zionist
Didn’t know that about her. I knew she was an ex Russian, New York Jew. Didn’t know she had a stance on Isreal. There’s a lot of support for Isreal from that part of the country so I guess I’m not surprised
