Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall
–Fidelity by Regina Spektor (2006)

Today’s youtube is Fidelity by Regina Spektor. This song is in an Estee Lauder commercial and everyone wants to know what the song is. The singer, Regina Ilyinichna Spektor or Реги́нa Ильи́нична Спе́ктор, was born in Moscow, Russia on February 18, 1980. She is a singer-songwriter and has a wonderful, pleasant voice.
Here is a live version of her song Fidelity with Regina Spektor playing solo piano and singing. The song Fidelity has a great hook with the “breakin’ my hear-ar-ar-ar ar-ar-ar ar-ar-ar-ar-ar-art” chorus. Also notice how in the bridge section she pronounces “better” as the cockney or Liberpool “be’er”
Here is the Music video for Fidelity by Regina Spektor.
Another performance of Fidelity by Regina Spektor on a BBC television show.
Regina Spektor performs Fidelity live on Conan O’Brien show. This is a live solo performance with just Regina singing and playing piano, which shows what a great musician and performer she is. Conan O’Brien says: “That was amazing. That was fantastic. Regina Spektor. That’s one of my favorite performances in a long time by anybody.” (See how little she is next to Conan O’Brien–good things come in small packages.)
Here is Regina performing Fidelity live at Lollapalooza in Chicago in 2007.
Here is the Estee Lauder commercial “Pleasures Bloom” with fashion model Constance Jablonski.
Regina Spektor: FIDELITY Lyrics
Key: C
(Shake it up)
A:
I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
CHORUS:
And it breaks my har har-ar-ar har-ar-ar har-ar-ar-ar-ar-heart
Well it breaks my har har-ar-ar har-ar-ar har-ar-ar-ar-ar-heart
B:
Suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you
Kiss me so sweet and so soft-oft-oft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose you never ever called-oo-oo-oo
Suppose I kept on singing love songs
Just to break my own fall
2nd CHORUS:
Just to break my fa a-a-a a-a-a a-a-a-a-a-all
Just to break-a my fa a-a-a a-a-a a-a-a-a-a-all
Just to break-a my fa a-a-a a-a-a a-a-a-a-a-all
Break my fall, break my fall
BRIDGE:
All my friends say that of course its
Gonna get better, gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better
A:
I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart, and it breaks my heart
I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music
And it breaks my heart, and it breaks my heart
CHORUS:
And it breaks my har har-ar-ar har-ar-ar har-ar-ar-ar-ar-heart
Well it breaks my har-har-har-har-heart
Well it breaks my har-ar-ar-ar ar-ar-ar ar-ar-ar-ar-ar-heart
Well it breaks my heart, and it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart, it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart, and it breaks my heart
