- Regina Spektor plays her song "Two Birds" (a/k/a "Two Birds On A Wire") live in concert before a sold-out crowd at The Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, California on March 5, 2023. Two Birds appeared on Spektor's fifth studio album, Far (2009).
Two Birds went viral on TikTok after someone dubbed the song over a video of two birds from the Talking Larry app. In the video, one bird is struck by lightning and the other bird reacts in horror. Since then, thousands of other TikTokers have posted recreation videos where they imitate the two birds, with Spektor's song playing in the background (often sped up). These videos have resulted in over 400 million views to date.
Regina Spektor is a Russian-American singer, songwriter, and classically-trained pianist who grew up in Moscow and New York City. This was the fourth night of Spektor's Feeling Better Spring Solo Piano Tour, which had to be rescheduled from the fall after her bout with Covid.

Two Birds lyrics:
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar
I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand
Two birds on a wire
One says "C'mon" and the other says "I'm tired"
The sky is overcast and I'm sorry
One more or one less
Nobody's worried
I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand
I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand
Two birds of a feather
Say that they're always gonna stay together
But one's never going to let go of that wire
He says that he will
But he's just a liar
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other

Regina Spektor official bio:
Born in the Soviet Union, Regina Spektor (Регина Спектор) began studying classical piano when she was six. Her family emigrated in 1989, landing in New York City, where she continued her classical training. Spektor eventually studied composition at the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College where she graduated with honors. She began writing pop songs in her late teens and made her recorded debut in 2001 with the self-released 11:11, a collection of songs heavily influenced by jazz and blues. Songs followed in 2002 and Soviet Kitsch in 2004. Spektor’s commercial breakthrough came in 2006 on her fourth LP, Begin to Hope. The gold-certified album included the singles “On the Radio,” “Better” and “Fidelity,” which climbed the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Spektor’s fifth album, Far released in 2009, and sixth album, What We Saw From the Cheap Seats released in 2012, both debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Spektor’s songs have appeared in TV shows and movies including Orange Is The New Black, Grey’s Anatomy, Weeds, How I Met Your Mother, Veronica Mars, The Good Wife and (500) Days of Summer. Spektor played for the Obamas and guests at the White House and performed as part of philanthropic campaigns for Tibet, Doctors Without Borders, and many more. Her most recent tours included her first concerts in her native Russia plus sold out shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, The Royal Albert Hall in London and two nights at Sydney Opera House in Australia.
Spektor’s most recent album, her seventh, is entitled Remember Us To Life. The album has received extensive critical praise. Rolling Stone declared that Remember Us To Life wraps underdog storytelling in brilliant songcraft” and Esquire described Regina as “our generation’s Joni Mitchell” adding that “[Spektor] has long made a habit of spinning fictional, winding tales into songs that utilize humor and absurdity for the purpose of pointed social commentary. Her new LP is no different.”

thanks for posting!
i'm amazed that she has the piano composition memorized
I'm so disappointed that she didn't sing this when I saw her in L.A.
What a superstar. What incredible talent!
Her's voice!!
her voice is amaZING!
Regina Spektor ❤
this with a violin 😍
Great song...bravo!
I just noticed she has an inhaler there. Does she have asthma?
I also noticed tea and tissues up there. Not sure about your asthma question, but she did tell the audience she was sick. Plus she had a bad bout of Covid a few months earlier (she lost her voice), followed by an inner-ear infection that gave her vertigo.
There’s an inhaler at the back on the table :/
