One of my favorites from her. Check out "Cracking," too...another beauty.

What a gentle, soothing and beautiful song. She sang an especially touching version of this one on "Sessions From West 54th."

Perhaps you should give 99.9° a listen. I again notice the original song sited as a wonderful VERSION.
Great album. Thanks for playing it. |

I couldn't have said it better myself, Mark.
One of the nicest, rolling songs I've heard in a long, LONG time.

Tower, thanks for your comment. The unexpected and slightly unsettling freedom of a snow day is a good feeling to associate with this song. |

Every once in a while you're deep in some other activity and a song comes on and reminds you that the radio's on... That's what this song just did to me.

Suzanne Vega is a goddess!!! I've seen her a bunch of times - everywhere from a large auditorium, to a private concert (radio station sponsered) to about 20 of us. She is AMAZING!!!

it's a damn pity that she got pidgeon-holed into "that girl who sings 'luka.'"

Suzanne has such a way with a lyric. And such a gentle voice. Love this music.

I haven't heard this in years. It makes me think about how much has changed for female singer/songwriters since the mid 80's when this album came out and signaled the assent of the women in the songwriting world.

Yes,Thank you. That is exactly what I think of when I hear this song. |

Bought this album in high school for the song Luka but soon fell in love with everything else on it including this wonderful song.

Clean, clear, and uncluterred. Almost naked. Not many artists come across as well this unaccompanied. :)

Suzanne would probably not make my list of favorite artists, but this song is just excellent. Beautiful music, innocent, and intelligent. It gets my attention whenever it comes on.
