2006-06-01 New York, NY | Angel Orensanz Center


This was a "secret" show where a limited number of free tickets were made available to members of Regina's email list. The show was staged by the Artists Den at a beautiful converted synagogue on The Lower East Side and, although the entire show was professionally filmed, only "Eli, Eli" and "Better" have been released (watch here). Regina's performance of "Better" was also included on the compilation album Artists Den, Volume III: Hudson St. Recordings.

On the opening track, Regina is introduced by journalist Alan Light.

Lyrics (fan transcription):
i must've lived a thousand times
but every day begins the same
cause there's a small town in my mind
how can i leave without hurting everyone that made me?...

oh, baby, baby, it's all about the moon
i wish you wouldn't have broken my camera
cause we're going to get real old real soon
today we're younger than we're ever going to be...

stop, stop, what's the hurry?
come on baby, don't you worry, worry
everybody not so nice, nice
everybody not so nice, nice...

i ought to, ought to know by now...
everybody not so nice, nice...

oh, baby, baby, baby, it's all about the moon
i must've lived a thousand times
but there's a small town in my mind
how can i leave without hurting everyone that made me?...
