Regina Spektor - Orange is the New Black
fBITGyJynfA
Regina Spektor provided a cover of the Malvina Reynolds song "Little Boxes" for "Weeds", a show created by Jenji Kohan. Years later, Kohan would work on another series called "Orange Is the New Black", and she would turn to her former collaborator once more to see what she could do for the opening sequence.
The result is the original song "You've Got Time," which is set against a slideshow of prisoners' faces, with the song offering the simultaneous feeling of melancholy and hope.
Since they had a previous working relationship, Kohan provided Spektor with ample materials to illustrate the tone it was trying to achieve.
Spektor told Rolling Stone, "She would send me some rough, unfinished episodes, and so I got to really experience the world of the show and got to see what the characters were really like, and it kind of helped me finish the song."
While there was no pressure if the song didn't work out, Kohan loved it instantly.
