Literally, as time passed, I started falling in love with more of the songs from Far until I became obsessed with all of them, and then the songs from BTH, SK, and 11:11. Its weird how my obsession developed. No outside influences just her music. I didnt even know who she was in '09 until I heard 'The Call'

Tow birds is beautiful as well
My obsession with Regina started in late 2006

I fell in love with her the same way. The first song I ever heard from her was "Fidelity", and I only sort of liked her at that point. It wasn't until I delved into her discography that I began to love her. She completely won me over with "Chemo Limo".

YESS!! I seriously have almost all of her unreleased songs. Even that one that sounds like a soundcheck 'Sunset.' Yeah, Begin to Hope (the song) Is beautiful. I also really love Patron Saint. I mean I love all of 'em but I listen to some a lot more than others. That's not to say I dont listen to a lot the others a lot though.

On the radio was my initial experience with Regina, Fidelity solidified my standom

Those ****ers. Thats why any time I think Ive found another die-hard, I wait for them to start bringing up her other stuff before I start to. If they dont I go "oop false alarm."

Anyone have hopes for which songs will be included on her next album? So far I think the only sure bets are "Ballad of a Politician", "The Piano is not Firewood Yet" and "All The Rowboats".

You caught on to her greatness way sooner than I did wow. Yeah, I had no idea who she was until Chronicles of Narnia. I fell asleep during that movie, and the credits woke me up, which is when 'The Call' gets played. I swore it was Taylor Swift. Thats actually what I searched on itunes when I wanted to look for the song. Then I found out it was Regina and looked through her other albums and only like 'That Time' I absolutely disliked the rest of her stuff, and now, I strangely LOVE everything. Like I said before, its so weird how she grew on me.

Aren't these the songs that she's been playing at some recent events. Like she was in a museum or something and she sang 'All of the Rowboats' right and some other Russian song? I mean I can wish all I want but I know it wont come true but I want a whole album of all of my favorite unreleased songs. Like these:
Loveology, AB, Bear Spektor (she can put this into an album like she did with "Whisper" since its relatively short) Happy Hooker, You, Belt, A Cannon, Rockland County, The Clocks Were Asleep, Raindrops, BYOS, Patron Saint, Mermaid, Secret Stash, The Devil Come to Bethlehem, The Virgin Queen, Oh Marcello!, The Bronx, & December

Usually when she performs unreleased songs that she doesn't perform often or at all, it means that it will be on the next album. There are videos of her performing "Human of The Year", Dance Anthem of The 80s", "Man of a Thousand Faces" and "Genius Next Door" in 2008, and look at where those songs ended up being on the following year.
I'd love for all those songs you name to be on the album, too. But I'll be a very happy camper if "Virgin Queen" or "Small Town Moon" make the tracklist. That's all I'm asking for.

God, this song is such a work of genius. She is seriously underrated as a lyricist.
