Music: "Eet" by Regina Spektor

Sometimes I think I actually fall in love with songs the way I fall in love with people. A song will get stuck in my mind, and I can think of nothing else I'd rather do than listen to it one more time - and then again and again. Like love, songs engage the imagination and leave such deep impressions...

I find this Regina Spektor song to be so beautiful (and beautifully sung). Maybe this is influenced by the music video which is so soft and pretty as well. Here are my favorite lyrics from it:

It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song
You can't believe it
You were always singing along
It was so easy and the words so sweet
You can't remember
You try to feel the beat

You spent half of your life trying to fall behind
You're using your headphones to drown out your mind

It's a bit sad, but most good songs are.
