Wow. Is she really doing that? Is this really portraying the struggle to retain order in the face of impending violent social revolution? In a song? Is she really tying in the French and Bolshevik Revolutions by quoting Louis XV (in French) and Boris Pasternak (in Russian)? Is that a carefully-twisted reference to the Beatitudes in there? And is it just me, or is she channeling Amanda Palmer for this sound?

And it's good! All that and it actually fits together and makes a good song. Wow. I'm truly impressed.

Good music and it makes me google and read history and poetry. I think I heart Regina Spektor.

geek, music
