About This Track

“Edit” is an alternative pop song from singer-songwriter Regina Spektor, released in the fall of 2006 on the album Begin to Hope. The song is well known amongst Spektor’s fans and has been a live favourite during her tour for the album. It has been noted as the record’s most diverse song, incorporating synthetic noises, MIDI and loops into Spektor’s otherwise simplistic trademark sound.

“You don’t have no Doctor Robert,
You don’t have no Uncle Albert”

References the Beatles’ song “Doctor Robert” as well as Paul and Linda McCartney’s 1971 hit “Uncle Albert”. “Edit” has notably been covered by British anti-folk band The Red Army and is rumoured to be released as a single in the second quarter of 2008.

    Brilliant track, sounds like what would happen if Tori Amos and Radiohead had a baby.

    Probably the closest Regina will ever come to writing a Radiohead song

    hmmm, she listens to Rick Wakeman. The piano in this song is from a song called Stepping Stones, by him.
