Suzanne Vega - In Liverpool

[@zciliyafilms5508]

One of the most underrated albums of the 90s.

This song becomes more beautiful by the passage of time, just like a magnificent wine.

+Bijan Kardouni You're right indeed. Such a high quality is rare nowadays ! Only the English DIDO is on her high level: they are quite similar in real class and style

[@jbauer72]

+Bijan Kardouni Totally agree. Something about the video accentuates the beauty of the song...makes it mesmerizing for me.

[@hammergeil345]

So true

[@seanroddick7531]

Very true. This song grows on you.

[@saleconomos473]

Agree...And it is any coincidence that the Beatles come from Liverpool and that prominent guitar riff sounds a lot like something from George?

[@hemmojito]

There are so many songs on 99.9 F, that drive tears to my eyes or make me feel a longing. With this song both is addressed. Favourite song, favourite album.

[@The_Lionheart1]

This song is one of best songs ever written. This is true art and a masterpiece ❤

This is a really fine composition. Still listening after these years.

This song brought tears to my eyes when I was 21, and still does, today. More importantly, ever since I first heard it, it always inspires me to be a better man.

[@Psyche-HQ]

Suzanne Vega is a genius, and this album rules them all.

[@KStarDid]

I am here because I just searched on the web who sings a song saying "My Name is Luka I live on the 2nd floor..." that I can hear from time to time in supermarkets here in the south of France for the last 30 years at least, (last time was yesterday) so it's nice to discover the singer has recorded other songs yet Luka still is my favourite by far because of its folk and popish mid tempo beat very efficient to help you fill your shopping cart at the supermarket. Auchan, Intermarché, Géant Casino, Leclerc, Système U and Carrefour should pay a fee to Suzan with all the money they earned thanks to this song. I just read the lyrics now, (better late than never as we say in french), not too surprised about the sad lyrics, I should have guessed as the voice doesn't sound too happy. I hope Luka was not Suzan. Le bonjour du sud-est ensoleillé de la France !

Suzanne has written and performed many wonderful songs but this one is really special.

[@jackkerouak]

In Liverpool today, listening to this song in the cemetery besides the anglican cathedral

[@colinmcgiverin75]

I have the good fortune to live in Liverpool

[@dibowen5]

This song is incredibly well-constructed. The lyrics are almost painfully personal about a memorable experience, written in brief poetical glimpses, with a refrain that features an easily understood sentiment, a fantastic guitar riff and echoes of the Beatles in the fadeaway. Suzanne you are extraordinary

[@TheGiantKillers]

It's brilliant when you listen to a song that you never paid attention to or weren't that fussed on at the time and you rediscover it all over again as a song you like years later.

In Liverpool On Sunday No traffic On the avenue The light is pale and thin Like you No sound, down In this part of town Except for the boy in the belfry He's crazy, he's throwing himself Down from the top of the tower Like a hunchback in heaven He's ringing the bells in the church For the last half an hour He sounds like he's missing something Or someone that he knows he can't Have now and if he isn't I certainly am Homesick for a clock That told the same time sometimes you made no sense to me if you lie on the ground in somebody's arms you'll probably swallow some of their history And the boy in the belfry He's crazy, he's throwing himself Down from the top of the tower Like a hunchback in heaven He's ringing the bells in the church For the last half an hour He sounds like he's missing something Or someone that he knows he can't Have now and if he isn't I certainly am I'll be the girl who sings for my supper You'll be the monk whose forehead is high He'll be the man who's already working Spreading a memory all through the sky In Liverpool On Sunday No reason to even remember you now Except for the boy in the belfry He's crazy, he's throwing himself Down from the top of the tower Like a hunchback in heaven He's ringing the bells in the church For the last half an hour He sounds like he's missing something Or someone that he knows he can't Have now and if he isn't I certainly am In Liverpool [X2]

Thank you for all your songs Suzanne Vega

[@rocco...]

Which is your favourite by the way? Probably depends on your mood.

[@merseydave1]

This song really hits home to me, not because I am from Liverpool G.B. but the lyrics as it reminds me of a opportunity wasted, and I find it so hard even after after a long time, that its gone. Even 75% of the lyrics are in tune to what was happening to me! I still love this song but I still have tiers in my eyes and when I try to sing it my voice breaks...

I love this song! It's like two soul mates finding each other after a long time apart: they have "gone inwards" in order to discover a spiritual awakening that only really occurs when they find one another again and light enters their world both inwardly and outwardly! Suzanne's voice is so melodious and full of longing - the video is like hope made manifest!

I went to a concert given by Suzanne just the other night. It was marvelous! I've been a fan of hers for years and I'm glad that I finally got to see her in person. She talked about this song (In Liverpool) before she sang it and she said that the subject of the song was her first boyfriend that she met in the Adirondacks, right after high school. He stole her heart and left her a bandana (which she still has).

Hello, six years ago. I can't help but wonder if there's a small but measurable number of yearly Suzanne Vega tourism in Liverpool, even though she didn't live there. You know, people visiting churches there with the song on their iPods.

[@AlanCanon2222]

@@merseydave1I only have visited your sceptred isle once, March 17-24, 2003. I had married a beautiful Kentucky opera singer who had done duty as a nanny in Paris, and she dragged me as a honeymoon to England. I had always wanted to visit but I was ashamed of George W. Bush, and I begged my young spouse not to make us go, but we did. We spent a week in London. During that time we visited the BFI to see Clifford Hatts, the production designer behind the original 1957 production of "Quatermass and the Pit", introduce a screening of the last three episodes of that iconic and terrifying landmark television work of science fiction and horror. On our way back to our hostel in Edgware Road, our train stopped dead in the tunnel, all lights out, because someone had been run over "person under the train" at the next station. I am from and live in Louisville, Kentucky. I am sorry for the 1776 and 1812 "recent unpleasantness". Louisville includes an awful lot of anglophiles, and I am one of them. The most moving place we visited in England, though it must seem mundane to ordinary British people, was Bletchley Park, near Milton Keynes. I worship Alan Turing not just for his contributions to computing, but because the example of his life, is incomparable in its scope. I asked the docent at Bletchley Park whether I could touch, with my hands, the bricks of Turing's office garrett overlooking the carrier pigeon coops from 1940. The tour guide was suspiciously the right age to have worked there, and he gave me permission. Also, there at Bletchley, at the beginning of the tour, the same man asked for a volunteer to stand, in the parlor room. I did, and was told by the tour guide that one volunteer would be asked to stand with a loaded pistol held to their temple while the Official Secrets Act was read to them. I did that. I can't much vouchsafe a Kentucky stiff upper lip but I can offer love and admiration to your amazing island country. Music, literature, quantum mechanics, wonderfully beautiful people. Kentucky doesn't exactly completely suck, but as a Kentuckian, it's nice to know where the bar is. Much love from Louisville -- Alan

@@merseydave1 Well, we in Louisville do have a nascent true "football club" (European true football, the way you know it ,not the American kind.) I have always been a nerd with little time for sport, but I did wind up becoming a caver ("potholer", as is said your side of the pond.) My caving mentor is James R. Wells, American born great grandson of H. G. Wells. James' dad, Oliver Craig Wells, explored Wookey Hole near Wells (no relation) using traditional diving dress and Royal Navy surplus re-breathers in the 1950s. Oliver and his lovely wife Pamela moved to America in the very late 1950s, and founded the American branch of the Wells family (my friend James is the baby of the three, siblings, all raised by Oliver Craig and Pamela. The children speak with New York accents, but with British vocabulary and enunciation). You're quite charitable to say such nice things. Yes, there are those rational of us who hate Trump and all that might accompany him. We must seem the worst country in the world right now, and for good reason (remembering Winston Churchill's wry comment on Clement Atlee), but please know that there are of us here who are truly horrified by Trump and his ilk, and do our damndest to make America a good neighbor again. I do not know if we will succeed. But we are trying, I swear to you we are.
