Unlike the popular diary-confessional based lyrics of the majority of contemporary female singer/songwriters, Spektor mostly crafts her songs as short stories and character studies. The beauty of Spektor’s music comes from its openness and its ability to be interpreted and appreciated in numerous ways depending on the individual listening.

Anti-Adulthood Theme in Regina Spektor’s Music

People can interpret and appreciate Spektor’s music in macro terms (motifs throughout her cannon) without obsessing over the exact experiences she writes about in every individual song. Spektor has over 120 songs that any half-interested, half-computer savvy person can find and download on the internet. Her fan community, which resides in its largest numbers on Spektor’s official message board, Brumstix, shares Spektor concert bootlegs with the artist’s approval. Over Spektor’s vast cannon, it does not take obsessive analysis to pick up on a few themes.

For instance, an anti-adulthood theme frequently pops up in Spektor’s music. This, however, should not to be confused with an anti-adult theme. Spektor’s lyrics often tell the stories of characters who waste their lives away in boorish, monotonous jobs as they succumb to societal standards.
