Brilliant song. I've been a fan of Suzanne's since 1987. I was lucky enough to see her on her world tour at the time in Phoenix, Arizona when I lived there. She is a constant marvel in her work and she is timeless in her songs and lyrics.
I never heard it before, but it has that sort of sing-songy shuffle and story telling immediacy that Graceland does. She is one of my favorite writers and singers.
This is so true, not only of "last year's troubles" but also of "last year's triumphs". How easily we can romanticize them. Love Suzanne Vega's lyrics for this kind of substantive content.
Tremendous! Never heard this 1 B4. Suzanne's still hip, brilliant & eloquent, & w/ the catchiest, most pop-friendly hooks around. Sheez STILL GOT IT!! Still producing a variety of fresh compelling material that's wide-ranging but still uniquely Suzanne! She blows away Shawn Colvin, Lucy Kaplansky & all the rest. They're excellent & deserve major props, but who can hold a candle to the Etherial Girl, Miss Vega ?? She'll go down in History as one of the very, very best NO DOUBT! Rock On, Suzanne!
While we're going through "last year's troubles" it may seem like the worst that could ever happen to us, but a year later we look back and realize it wasn't all that bad.
I have never seen her "live" but I can imagine it must be a wonderful experience--thank goodness for YouTube and these postings to bring her music visually as a treat!--much appreciated & thank you,J for sharing it!-- xxx
I like this song very much indeed!! I´ve loved Suzanne, her music and voice since I was 17. Now I am 38 and still love her voice like little raindrops. Thanks for uploading this video!!
Suzanne is beautiful but her image and styling on this seem all wrong. Just look at her on `no cheap thrill` video to see just how good she can look.

Love love Suzanne, deep, real, she sings live just as good as any computer generation.

Why does this remind me of Paul Simon's mid-80's stuff, like Graceland? Anyone agree?

Cause she's always been TOO intelligent. A major in literature, you know.

Because she never danced seductively or paraded around half naked.
Sex sells. Beyonce,Rhianna,Britney and the rest of their ilk pale in comparison when it comes to sheer talent.

Saw her first in 85ish a couple times. She was good with a band and delightful solo acoustic.
Won tickets to see her tomorrow night. :-)
