Suzanne Vega is a giant in true musical history ! Besides her incredible guitar playing ans vocals , her song-writing ability is simply awesome. I hope that I have the opportunity to see her in concert one day !
Such an evocative song; at the time this came out, I would often hang out in the park at night with my friends, and I would always be thinking of this song.
i think its a teenage boy and a teenage girl, playing tag and flirting on a playground at night-- the names shes saying are old actors- bogart, deitrich, dean, becall. . . .. . who i think they pretend to be. . . and its a thing she rememebrs from long ago- slow fade now to black. i LOVE this song, i'm a semi-professional musician with a million songs and soudns in my brain, and this REMAINS one of my very FAVORITE things. . .THANK YOU for posting!
I ask you also before, curiously enough, the train in the picture could looks like an Italian model that is used on various local train lines here in Italy. :)
si lo so che è un automotrice italiana :-)... comunque i luoghi delle foto sono nella regione tra losanna e villeneuve in svizzera, sul lago lemano, eccezion fatta per le prime 3 foto, che ho trovato sul web, se ricordo bene avevo messo come tag di ricerca su google "inverno canavese".
This was my favourite suzanne song when i was just 8. I got my mum to buy me the album. I sing it when i do open mic nights as i know it off by heart. Its a beautiful song.

Please stop this public fantasy about Suzanne before it has begun; it is neither flattering nor appropriate. In my opinion you're just embarrassing yourself when you shout out those childish and immature dreams.
Love the haunting acoustic sound. I will be deitrich and you will be dean!!!

This is my favourite song of Suzanne Vega as well...since I was a child.
I believe she is not known enough as a poet and not just a singer...
Now, 20 years after those days so many things have happened with my life and again I find this song like a nostalgic fortress of my childhood.

One of her best songs, and one of the lesser known ones.
But where are the pictures from?
