Regina Spektor revisits her past in the video for “Bleeding Heart”
Regina Spektor has come far since her youth, spending her time learning the piano in the Soviet Union. Those memories are the focus of the singer-songwriter’s newest video for Remember Us to Life track “Bleeding Heart.”
Lead by her Spektor’s husband, Jack Dishel, the clip includes footage of the musician singing and dancing in front of an illustrated skyline with old videos and photos from her early years. Her black-and-white pieces came thanks to her father, who Spektor remembers fondly.
“Throughout my childhood I’d sometimes get tired of standing as [my father] took his light meter readings or asked me to play piano or pose,” Spektor said to NPR. “But now when I look back on every recorded moment, I’m just grateful. It took hard work and patience on his part — most of the photos were developed and printed by him in his darkroom in spare time from work.”

Leonard Cohen’s cause of death revealed
Leonard Cohen’s death was announced to the public on Friday night, and today, Cohen’s manager Robert B. Kory has released a statement revealing his cause of death, The New York Times reports. “Leonard Cohen died during his sleep following a fall in the middle of the night on Nov. 7,” Kory wrote. “The death was sudden, unexpected and peaceful.” The New Yorker reported on their radio program that Cohen had been battling cancer, and Cohen talked about his declining health in his recent interview with the magazine.
Cohen recently released his final studio LP, You Want It Darker where he addressed the end of his life. He was frank about his opinions on his unfinished work in an interview with the New Yorker, where he said, “I don’t think I’ll be able to finish those songs. Maybe, who knows? And maybe I’ll get a second wind, I don’t know… I am ready to die. I hope it’s not too uncomfortable. That’s about it for me.” He took back the quote later, telling fans, “I’ve always been into self-dramatization. I intend to live forever.”
