TOC: Is that why your album title is so short?

Regina Spektor: I was originally calling it Far, Far Away, and I kept chopping it down.

TOC: Sounds a little fantasy sci-fi. What’s the thought behind the name?

Regina Spektor: One day it hit me, that I was standing on a planet, rotating in space. I could feel the Earth spinning beneath my feet; I could feel that we are just shooting through space, and everything else is so far away. And if you travel far, you leave something far behind. It was one of those deep moments, like when you realize you’re going to die.

TOC: Yeah, that’s a big one.

Regina Spektor: But lately I’ve been calling the album Fart.
