This is a mature artist: Great and very unique voice, interesting, powerfully image-laden lyrics. When I see all of today's hyped, visually drive, vacuous pop drivel, American Idol wannabes, and then compare them to quality music like this - well, lets just say it's the difference between art and adolescent noise.
After enjoying ‘Small Blue Thing’, hit me with the most beautiful songs you can think of. It doesn’t matter where you find their beauty; in sadness or in joy, whether it pours from the music, is enshrined in effective wordplay, or it’s simply the image that either conjures up in your mind which is most beautiful of all (thinking of Leonard Cohen’s “the sun pours down like honey” line, from ‘Suzanne’, funnily enough; you’d be hard-pressed, though, to find better than
I like the guitar work on this to make up for the lack of keyboards, which i've thought yo be key for this song. I was wondering if this clip is from a DVD, given the multiple angle shots.
I always get goosebumps at this line: "And she says, I've come to set a twisted thing straight. And she says I've come to lighten this dark heart."

God, I love this stuff. I love this fine musical stuff.God,you must love me.You create beautiful music like this.I am a poor creature,better than a flea, or a sparrow-actually, a human. This music fills me with monumental joy. This music is unstoppable.
Suzanne Vega's music, a brilliant mix of poetry and social activism defined her as an artist, resulting in a select fan base which took her message seriously. Her views of society and the human condition gave rise to a newer and more defined perception of life's struggles, individually and collectively.
I Love You Suzanne Vega . . .

I have to admit it that I have been all my life in love with Suzanne Vega.
Not the typical beauty, her eyes, her voice, her elegance in music and life... all in her makes me love her.
