Blue is the only human color

I really love Regina Spektor's music. She has a sense of melody that really resonates with me. She also has a sense of whimsy that is mostly just weird. I feel that up to now, most of her songs fall into either one category or the other. I love the whimsy, but when it crosses into weird ("Chemo Limo", for one) I can't abide it. But I feel like her new album Far really brings the two together in an amazing way.

This video is gorgeous, as is the song, "Eet":


This is a live performance of "Blue Lips" on a UK late night show. I love what she does with the rhythm and time signature on the refrain.
