@Bryce Katz: almost... The guy who'd created the (then) experimental technology knew the human voice would be the toughest instrument to translate without destroying the sound, so this song was chosen to truly test how well the algorithm worked. If it sounded awful he knew he had more work to do on his software. This is a great song and a stellar performance, and therefore a wise choice. EDIT (thanks JTD472): I should've better clarified † my point, which is the distinction between clarity (i.e. sound quality) and the organic familiarity we all have in our innate ability to recognize the human voice. Using this track to test, he'd know instantly if it sounded wrong. † har.

Fun fact : the exterior of the real Tom's Diner was used for the exteriors of Monks Cafe in Seinfeld. Another fun fact : Vega has said she wrote the song in 1981/2, and she based elements of the song on actual events. So... at one point she reads the funnies in the paper. Only two newspapers in New York City carried comic strips in 1981/2. And of those, in that period only the New York Post carried a front page story about the death of an actor, William Holden. And Holden did indeed die from a fall resulting from his drinking excessively. Which means the day the song refers to has got to be the day that story was published, which was Wednesday, November 18, 1981.

The thing about Suzanne Vega is that she sings poetry but she doesn't make it sound like poetry, she makes it sound like life. It's only after you think about it for a while that you realize how layered and deep her words are. I always loved the line about the woman who doesn't actually see her she just sees her own reflection. Talk about cutting to the bare truth.

Went to see Suzanne's concert in Nijmegen, The Netherlands , shortly after Solitude standing had been released. Must have been about '88 somewhere. To my surprise she opened the show with Tom's Diner, acappella... She looked so adorably shy singing this, and even more so when the audience exploded with applause at the end, and 35 + years later I still know the lyrics and it still gives me goosebumps! Describing a place and moment in time in a song like this without the aid of any musical instrument is art in the true meaning of the word. It's like a vocal painting. Fantastic. Thank you Suzanne.
@gooblegal8172 жыл бұрын
I haven't heard the last verse before, and it really completes the song for me. it kinda solidifies how she's looking back at the phases of her life, the man she was going to marry and her own youth, before arguments or whatever happened split them up, before the rain. and her catching the train to finally move on from that stage and go on with life.

The performance makes the song even better. Her little snaps and bounces, the way she looks into the camera and away from it, the movement of the camera, the lighting, the silence of the audience, everything about this video is perfectly in sync with the vibe of the song and it all meshes together with magical cohesion to something almost unreal and ethereal. I don't know if I've ever seen a live performance as perfectly executed as this.

I once heard Sinead O'Connor saying that Suzanne Vega was "wish wash music"; well maybe the lyrics are about banal things, but common banal things make the most of our existence, and if can't see beauty on that you don't have poetry in your heart. Suzanne Vega is not pretentiously profound, but it is profound because touch us deep inside.

I fell in love with this voice years ago when I was a young kid and heard this on the radio as the dance song she speaks of. It is amazing to be able to put a face to the voice. It all makes my heart ache and yearn for a time when I was younger.

While listening, out of curiosity I picked up my guitar and played along. She was 100% spot on A440. Impressive.

This album was one of my absolute favorites in the 80s. Vega's songs are so well crafted and beautiful and, as a singer myself, a joy to sing. Her voice is pure and I just love her.
