Suzanne Vega - Straight Lines (Rare 1984 Demo) *Audio*

[@swordsinging1709]

What can you do with a guitar and a solitary voice. Amazing. So clean. She delivers lyrics with the precision of a surgical knife. What a unique gifting. Thank you for sharing these older tunes.

I love your description of her voice. I was having trouble putting it into words. Because at first blush, there's nothing remarkable about her voice. But you're right: she has this clean way of singing/speaking that just... cuts right through everything.

This song really connected with me when I was a homeless teenager, living in a tent. Basic, raw, powerful, beautiful, spare.

I hope you're warm and sheltered now.

She ages like fine wine. We saw her at a smallish gig in Scotland and we were in the 2nd row in the middle. She was literally 8 ft away from us and is incredibly beautiful. She looks better now I think, than she did when she was younger.

Great to hear this demo after all these years, many thanks! :)

[@moniquebudel]

love her!

Remarkably persistent music...from my most persistent celebrity crush. Discovered her (and saw her perform live) in 1987 and loved her ever since.

Wow! This is so great, I love Suzanne Vega!

[@RichardWestberg]

Fascinating. Thanks for posting.

[@childofthesun32]

Then I don't think you've seen her these days. She looks better. More defined and comfortable in her own skin. A fucking stunning older woman (that referring to her as older doesn't do her justice). She is just ridiculously attractive and she's older now than she was then.

I play his tune so much while I drive, just to learn it. Hey it is complex, in all of the best ways.

[@Steveinthailand]

Excellent demos. And Suzanne is so cute in this pic...

[@kancelariaprawnamdp]

amazing song.. please share !!!

[@PilgrImageピルグリメージ]

Very sharp music......

[@Tubist2012]

I find that Suzanne Vega's music has a sparse, but intense, emotional intensity that I respond to. There is also some message here: this is music made by a good person.
