About This Track

Two different versions of Samson exist. The first, slightly longer, version appeared on the album Songs. The second, and more famous, version was the third track on Begin to Hope.

The song tells the story of a previously undocumented relationship between the narrator and the biblical Samson. Spektor, as the narrator, engages in a relationship bordering on sadism as Samson wilfully subjugates himself to her, allowing her to cut his hair (and hence drain his strength).

Great song, because everything she does is great, but I'd like to see a bit of her other stuff pop up occasionally.

I always thought these lyrics referred to a lover who has died of cancer - if you read them you might see why I'd think that. Such an incredibly moving song, get's me everytime.

I can't count how many times I cried to this song. I understand the lyrics in my own way, maybe wrong - but who cares? It touches me since I heard it for the 1st time <3 Sad, beautiful, perfect...
