Fun fact, The very first song to become an MP3 was Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner." A German engineer played the song over and over again as he tried to squeeze the song into a smaller size without changing its sound too much. The rhythm helped the encoding of the file.

When I was a kid I had this stuck in my head and I didn’t know who sang it or what it was called .So my aunt called a radio station - kiss 95fm and I sang it for them , they told me the artist and the song name and then my aunt took me to Sam the record man to buy the CD. I fell in love with every song on the album, I still have all my old CDs from my childhood . I have a disorder that has been eating away at my long term memory for years just hearing the song again brought that memory flooding back I’m happy she recently uploaded it on here ❤️.

I accidentally interrupted a photo shoot of Suzanne Vega when I was attending afternoon tea at CARAMOOR, an historic estate in Katonah, New York (Westchester County) that is now open for classical concerts and performances. When tea ended in early afternoon, I saw Ms. Vega and her stylists preparing her for a future CD cover, and I approached her with my story: I had just finished listening to her 'Best of Suzanne Vega' CD on my way to the CARAMOOR tea event, and memorizing the entire discography when she asked me to bring her the CD plastic case and she would autograph the paper insert. I never ran so quickly to the parking lot to fetch her CD, and the surprise was that she asked for my address and telephone number. Within a week, I had House seats to her New York concert, and a visit to her back stage. What an incredible night that was! Thank you, Suzanne-you're a CHAMP! X-O-X-O

I teach a music appreciation course at Southwest Tennessee Community College in Memphis. I'm always looking for ways to help my students understand that many devices and techniques used in classical music are still used today in many genres, just styled differently. I love introducing this piece to the class when we are studying Puccini's operas and his use of "verismo".... creating his operas from stories of everyday life people could relate to, rather than gods or mythology (as Wagner) or dramatic scenes with sometime terrible outcomes (as Verdi). So thank you Suzanne Vega and DNA.

So when my son started singing the course of toms River I automatically knew he didn't look up the actual song I knew it was those videos that he enjoys watching so that brought me here to the original song so I can show him that I wants enjoy this song to when I was his back in 1999.

Lyrics: I am sitting in the morning At the diner on the corner I am waiting at the counter For the man to pour the coffee And he fills it only halfway And before I even argue He is looking out the window At somebody coming in It is always nice to see you Says the man behind the counter To the woman who has come in She is shaking her umbrella And I look the other way As they are kissing their hellos And I'm pretending not to see them And instead I pour the milk I open up the paper Therels a story of an actor Who had died while he was drinking It was no one I had heard of And I'm turning to the horoscope And looking for the funnies When I'm feeling someone watching me And so, I raise my head There's a woman on the outside Looking inside does she see me No, she does not really see me 'Cause she sees her own reflection And I'm trying not to notice that she's hitching up her skirt And while she's straightening her stocking Her hair has gotten wet Oh, this rain it will continue Through the morning as I'm listening To the bells of the cathedral I am thinking of your voice

The acappella "Tom's Diner" from Solitude is the original version. It became a big hit in 1990, having been remixed and Vega’s voice being layed on club beats by two British dance producers under the name DNA. The track was originally a bootleg, until Vega allowed DNA to release it through her record company, and it became her biggest hit.

I just learned this: “Tom’s Diner”, an a cappella song set in a restaurant, that had “popped into [her] head fully formed”. Although the album, Solitude Standing (released in 1987) did well, this song made the top 30 in Ireland, grazed the top 60 in the UK, and flopped elsewhere. And then something strange happened. Three years later, in 1990, two enterprising musicians from Bath added minimal sound-system beats from Soul II Soul’s “Keep On Movin’” to the song, and when Vega’s record company was about to reach for its lawyers, the singer suggested they put it out as an official release. This time, “Tom’s Diner (DNA Remix)” was inescapable - topping the charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, reaching number two in the UK and Ireland and number five in the US. It is now probably Vega’s best-known song.

I'll sometimes start humming random tunes that come into my head on the spot, and when I was younger I hummed this exact tune, I swear I didn't remember hearing it anywhere and I had refined it over and over and then hummed it for my parents because I was so so proud of it. They then told me it already existed and played this for me. I swear I had never hear it before. But that can happen sometimes when making any form of music
