Suzanne Vega's avatar sings "The Queen and the Soldier"

[MrSolidSnake69]

If thats her I will have to try and track her account down if I can. Lol

[Mangosunsplash]

She has one MAHA-Special voice(puts Tori Amos to shame -though I love ,a few of Tori's songs )- The only female singer in her league/style : debatably ,her 'mentor was Joni Mitchell...who at her best[like the Album :BLUE]was f'kin 'ace...unfortunately I have my preconceptions too(yea' right!) ...they were /are a bit TOOYUPPY for me!!!!Sad heh?!XXXCreashonrebel

[BasebetaPython]

[mecampbellesq]

I must have heard this song about a hundred times, and it almost brings me to tears every single time...

[daceyxii]

well mind blowing amazing cany belive it.............. so beautiful --> Movies/999/dot/com ( Remove / )

[ravenofttrocks]

yeah, it's not the real thing, you can hear near the middle to the end she sings it a bit softer.

[shadowVT]

lol  virtul light districks

[Beberoqz]

I have a question im thinking about signing up for second life, but before I do I want to know if the graphics are good so can anyone tell me if the graphics have improved in 2009.

[slhamlet]

Go to my blog New World Notes (linked above right) and check out recent screenshots and video.

[lunatsukino]

Graphics wise second life hasn't actually changed much. What has changed is peoples ability to make better items.

The whole of secondlife is based on nothing but user created content... and the content has definatly improved in the 2 years i've been on second life

[abnormal234]

I used to play SL and graphics can be as real as you make em... it depends on the textures ppl use...

[mecampbellesq]

God, this song just about brings me to tears every single time I hear it...

[DaMunchkinhead]

Interesting...

[dumbthings1970]

????Why????

[ideasaretoys]

Graphics this ugly cannot be healthy for the eyes.

[tvargan]

Is this a "live" performance? It sounds exactly like the album version.

[KeenCommander]

It's a pretty faithful rendition, but definitely not the album version. The "young queen she fixed him with an arrogant eye" part sounds completely different, and the rest is subtly different...just slight changes in her voice. Whether she actually performed it or it was already recorded live I do not know.

[MatiYumi]

Suzanne owns, but SL rather not, still song sounds great

[moshpit90210]

why is she twitching? can you get a thrash vesion of this?

[SkaKid5]

this is the stupidest thing i've ever seen, second life is the gayest game i think i've ever seen

[TheSecret148]

my god its not that bad

[mecampbellesq]

Then go back to Azeroth, little boy.

[SuziFine]

Suzanne is awsome but the song isn't workin it's self nuh uh!!

[Mittdoc]

Is this off of the first tomb raider?

[DRAGONFIRELL]

Shoudln't of waited.

[lizzabbott]

What's with the left hand action on the guitar?? This is so lame!! Suzanne's great but WTF??

[lakishajenkins]

Good song, but this is the nerdiest shit that I have ever seen.

[lillipuet]

i would have given my entire left foot and leg to be there ! i share my 1st with my 2nd life, and anybody who has seen how much work it took just to build her guitar and make that possible.. understands the love :D

[xGuitarMan89x]

Thats not the guitar from the video of the making of the guitar, it's one she borrowed from the audience because her's wouldn't work, and yeah if you watch the making of it's a shame lol

[drakeishfyre]

its not a game, but don't join, linden lab REALLY messes up your cash

[leolodreamland]

nice

[katekruger]

ty :)

[katekruger]

ty :)

[mickypaul10]

the game's name is second life

[katekruger]

really nice song :D and whats the game ?

[macwac100]

second life

[TheAngryFishermen]

Sebastian bumbo orbited a Linden and got barred for life

hehehehe ask gnu at waterhead

[madpeony]

No, see you wrote "sucks." The word you wanted was "kicks." Kicks ass and sucks ass are very different things. That's cool, they get into the difference by fourth grade. Which, coincidentally is about when you start being able to appreciate decent lyrics and music that has more than three power chords. Stay with it, little dude, you'll get there. ;-)

[lukavlcek]

queen and soldier

[drunkpunkforever]

vega sucks ass, really?

is your iq the same as your shoe-size,

or do you really like sucking arses?

do tell

[sailorFreak2]

LOL.

[marxbabykayx]

SL is so much fun, and you dont have to -not- have a life to enjoy it! I really enjoy the diversity I've seen in making friends. If anyone wants to check out any other good music, check out Kyle Beltran in SL, he's great. Plays at Meatspace lounge (versus cyberspace)

[kurtiklaas]

The music's cool, but the game is boring ;-)

[Obsessivemuch]

Can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Pm me and tell me how to film your characters? Or, excuse me, film your avatar? With a face view? Thanks.

[bowiesasja]

the game is cool, but the music sucks

[TonySpenc]

Cool, I heard so much about this. Well, the guitar playing anims in SL are much better now, and gigs get way more people LOL. One thing is missing: she has no tip jar...

Oh, and you can get much better guitars too :)

I loved the bit about the lyrics. Bummer about the IM bell, I keep thinking I have my SL client open...

[voicetube]

LOL.. I have SL open now and thought the IM bell was for me!!

[Necessarydestruction]

I played second life. Its WAY to confusing dude, it really is.

[Gukuthegreat]

SL is a great pc game if anyone wants to IM me on SL my players name is Guku Aabye

[GamingGTAman]

Yey IM me in SL im Seal Wuyts

[Backhander62]

No, the game neither sucks, nor is it shit. Of course, people with little or no imagination or creativity will find it challanging or even boring there.

SL is in its infancy though and still has a long, exciting way to go. its improving every week, it seems.

[idakusan]

ive heard you exchange sim money for real money in sl can you tell me if thats right? :D

[slhamlet]

Yes.

[Kennypt0]

The music is cool but the game sucks

[anomalygpa]

second life is fuckin shit

[icantthinkformyself]

Yeah man, compared to GTA San Andreas, SL SUCKS ASS!

[Backhander62]

Lmfao!!....The fact that you compare Second Life to GTA, or anything else like that, means that you don't have a clue what Second Life actually is....too funny!!

[paulos2006]

absolutely fantastic! not listened ti this sinc e i put my vinyl in the cupboard, time to buy a new deck!1

[hughlooks]

I gotta get on this Secondlife thing. Going to see Vega this weekend live at the Park West. I always loved her music back in the 80's. Should be a great show. This is cool to see. I know Suzanne was one of the first celebrity rockers to get on Secondlife. Should be fun. Thanks for posting.

[ecxod]

thats not true, its depending on the RAM you have on the sim, and a island sim can have 100 avatars. but there so many many greater things to do then sit and listen to susane whoever ...

[funxstarter]

You are absolutely right about that!

[sailorFreak2]

Suzanne Vega

[funxstarter]

hahaha its just like 20 people in there hahaha

[TheJudgeMaster]

Thats about as many as you can get in a sim. The lag would be unbareable for any more

[JapsEye2]

She should have staged dived.

[BellJarBangel]

I'm the kid who was onstage with her in Provincetown!!!!

[mengele012]

[Madgethecat]

Second Life is a fantastic arena for live music - Suzanne Vega rocks, and she is not the only one to have discovered this fantastic place to share her music... U2, Duran Duran... As well as so many lesser known but awesome musicians... I am so glad to have discovered it!!

[tazmanya324]

gerçekten ok güzel bi sesi var izsanı dinlendiriyo

[jepz11]

Suzanne Vega got me right away back then. It is her unique singing/ music style. She dares to be vulnerable while she has every reason to be self assured about her poetry and musical level. Which I guess she is too, self-assured, since she's a performing musician all these years.

Her appearing in this virtual form, well, every way of hearing and seeing her is great.

I love her! Hope she will be making music for many years.

[FraggedYou]

cool Second Life lives its name

[pinkblackcat]

Who singing this song?

[darrenrimell]

it is suzanne vega, one of the most underated singer songwriters ever, get hold of solitude standing album, it will blow you away, got it in about 88-89, still got it on vynil....

[Rhyess]

sl ^.^

[aldobenitez]

How I love all her songs!!!

[lcmedia]

Somehow I have not seen this before...it is fabulous...it captures the magic of the experience of Suzanne's music and Second Life...thanks, James.

[krabonq]

SecondLife is the most fugliest game for n00bs ever...

[Plisko1]

Yea all those national noob corporations that are now creating their own SL operations. What a bunch of geeks.

[PostmarkJensen]

Thanks for taking the time to put this up, Hamlet. You should ask On The Media to link to this from the 22sep06 show.  Cheers - Postmark Jensen

[zyhz]

I adore this song,and well, this animation is great (although it's kind of weird not seeing he live...sorry, I still can not get used to animations)

Thank you very much for sharing

[mynui]

That was awesome. Pure, simple.
