Here’s the second Random Weekend selection from Regina Spektor’s 2006 album Begin to Hope.
The last time she showed up, I remarked that the Random iTunes Fairy had a knack for picking the hits, as she surfaced ‘Fidelity,’ the only song from that album — or Spektor, period — to ever chart.
A little more than three years later, Spektor is back with a deep cut.
The Random iTunes Fairy has a knack for sniffing out the hits. I’m always surprised that she seems to settle on the best-known tracks from an album when randomness would suggest the deeper cuts have a better chance of surfacing.
Regina Spektor’s 2006 album Begin to Hope produced one hit, its first song and lead-off single ‘Fidelity.’ In fact, this is the only Spektor song to ever chart in the U.S. And the Random iTunes Fairy targeted it like a guided missile.
