"Left Hand Song" is a song originally composed, performed, and recorded by Regina Spektor. The song was played two times in 2002 and then off-and-on between 2007 and 2010 before being extensively played in 2017 as part of the "Very Special Solo Tour". The song was known for a long time by fans by the name "A Lesson in How Fleeting Preservation Is", taken from a lyric in the song. In 2009, Regina recorded and released the song as "Left Hand Song", the first time the song had an official name, as part of Joshua Bell's album At Home wiith Friends. The official release incorporates a string section by Joshua Bell into Regina's piano and vocals. A 2009 performance at WRXP FM Radio is of particularly note-worthy quality and resembles a demo more in line with early performances which only feature piano and vocals.
