Marlene On The Wall - Suzanne Vega

Suzanne Vega, another brilliant eighties artist that seems to have been half forgotten, this song is magnificent as is Luka despite the darkness of the lyrics.

Music like this is timeless but I feel lucky to have been growing up when this sort of thing was in the charts a lot, rather than all the ways it's split now into dance, urban, rock etc.

For THIS old fart ( I'm 40) the eighties were THE decade where pop music really started to grow up, great post, thank you!

i fell in love with her 20 odd years a go lol

You are very observant---the great mystique about Suzanne Vega is that in almost all her songs she is singing about more than she seems to...perhaps it is her Buddhist leanings, her androgony, or a person on a journey to discovery. In any case, she produces some of the most profound songs anybody ever has.

I've met people from her soul group before. They have very deep and rich souls, very beautiful actually but somehow you never get to the core of them. They always leave a thin wall between you and their soul. For a pop star I suppose that is perfect. She's brilliant anyway!

Yes, I agree. but maybe there is a reason they can seem so distant. Maybe they have to be that way to protect something rare and precious....and/or maybe they actually can and do open up when they sense the other person can truly understand them.

I agree with you but I've been out with a woman from her soul group and if they sense in any way you have betrayed them they clam right up and go totally out of communication and you are never allowed back in. She's a great songwriter anyway!

No this is the recording the sound is the same as the tape and record(omg Im old) kind of breathy thanks for adding !!!
