If you watch her facial expressions, you can see really immerses herself in the lyrics. It's as if she's sitting in the diner taking it all in at that moment. I love the a cappella original, but this is a great version.
@Bélus Béla when I saw this I looked up one of her old videos. Apart from the 80s mullet he looks exactly the same and always brought that vibe to his playing. It made me smile seeing someone who still loves his work.
This reminds me of when i was young and things were gonna be alright. I miss the 90's... i hate my old life now. Its the end of the world... but replaying this song brings me back to the good ole days.
@@thylacinen4874 Correct, these are poor guys, if they hate their life. LIfe is always nice, if you do the right decissions on your own instead of following others....
I can't say that I was a huge fan of this song when it came out. But it's incredibly well-written. Her voice is so natural, and the lyrics are so mundane, but everything fits so well together.
Wish they would get creative like Suzanne Vega did in the early 90's- I remember loving the funky style of the narrative and the catchy "da da da da- da da da da-da da da da da da da da"
wonder if she normally avoids party's because everyone will ask her for that one thing XD . she played also a very important role in the development of mp3 . made quite some history with that one song :*D
William Holden died November 12, 1981. Probably written on Friday the 13th. Released 6 years later in 1987. Became a big hit 10 years later when remixed by DNA in 1992. Tom's Restaurant is most famous for being in Seinfeld and being the first song recorded as an MP3 as a test. Tom's Restaurant was also Edwin Armstrong's lab, Armstrong was a Columbia University inventor of FM Radio.
Two things.. Far too much tension in that room. I think this song also needs more variation.. and that's probably what creates more tension in a crowd (i.e.; It gets old).
@M. Jones - Well at least I wouldn't go as far as saying the song is flawed. It just seems a bit too abstract because it lacks variation. All I know is, I'd hate to be one of those musicians playing it ! Far too much tension for me..
I just saw her at Sellersville theater in PA last week with the same guitarist. Her voice is somehow better than ever. And believe me, she has at least a dozen song's better than this. It was just a popular dance mix - thats all. The only thing I like about this song is her sexy delivery. But she's the best female songwriter of last 25 years - period. ...........Nice to see Greg Brady got a job on Bass :)
Any chance that any bass players that see this could give me a transcription of the basic bass line? I don't need all the fills. My ear is not that great yet and trying to watch his fingers hasn't worked for me yet. Thanks.
@bitulok3131 Sometimes there are voices in my head, and they all sound like my own voice, but I think they are different individuals. They tell me things and I don't know whom to trust. One of them is telling me to jump, but it's 40 storeys below. You see my dilemma?
Why didn't dude drop that sic base line, and why did they not have beats to this? Guess they wanted to make it all artsy and shit, but the hip hop angle fused with the folk acapella is what made this song special. :(
Wally Schroeder Because that version you’re referring to was actually a remix by the British duo DNA in 1990, a few years after Suzanne Vega’s original version. So I guess she’s performing a “remix” of a remix of her own original song? hehe
@FlameHue I have none. At least not in my head. In your head huh? That really made me laugh. Good for you. How about voices? How many do you have in your head? What are they telling you? haha
No, she has many great songs, it's just that people are too lazy to find out about them. Try Gypsy, Ironbound / Fancy Poultry, Institution Green, Small Blue Thing, In Liverpool...
If you watch her facial expressions, you can see really immerses herself in the lyrics. It's as if she's sitting in the diner taking it all in at that moment. I love the a cappella original, but this is a great version.
若い頃にラジオか有線でよく流れていて、歌詞は判らないけど声と曲調が好きだった。
今聞いても好きだなぁ。
The base guitarist is so cool. Full of character. He steals the show. 👍
Guy on the bass loves his job. I want his job lol.
i dunno if he is playing the bass or the bass is playing him XD
Oh Yeah
@Bélus Béla when I saw this I looked up one of her old videos. Apart from the 80s mullet he looks exactly the same and always brought that vibe to his playing. It made me smile seeing someone who still loves his work.
@Bélus Béla I would LOOOOVE to see her live. I've never seen Suzanne perform in person, but every clip I see of her is captivating.
U funny
Loved the bass guitarist. Loved his expression.
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PERSON HER VOICE IS GOLD
Yeah!! she drinks milk always!!! this is good!!
@@AhaMyLord lol oh really
This reminds me of when i was young and things were gonna be alright. I miss the 90's... i hate my old life now. Its the end of the world... but replaying this song brings me back to the good ole days.
dude same...crazy how music or a song can do that
Guys if u were young in the 90's you can't be that old now !
There's much more to come.
@@thylacinen4874 Correct, these are poor guys, if they hate their life. LIfe is always nice, if you do the right decissions on your own instead of following others....
Life is a blessing anytime; but I do miss the 90's too .
It'll be ok
I can't say that I was a huge fan of this song when it came out. But it's incredibly well-written. Her voice is so natural, and the lyrics are so mundane, but everything fits so well together.
Still sounds good after all this years.
Yeah!! she drinks milk always!!! this is good!!
briliant as always,every arrangements rocks.man,that bass!
The melody and voice that have become legendary
amazing performance
Maaaan I Love This Lady
Watching in 2020 in the times of coronavirus...
love this beat and the lyrics
i think this might be my new favorite version of the song
Brilliant!
bravooooooo !!!
This is the most earworm song ever for me. I hear her chorus in my head randomly and make up dopey lyrics for mundane tasks or fantastical stories.
i loved your songs
Special talent beyond a speck of reproach. Perfection
This is the song of my childhood... It's about of New York morning...
Ela é linda 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤
bravoooooooo
Borders books used to have live shows...they were cool
bass kicking arse
Dang. This is good.
I LOVE IT~SO SOFT
Such a velvety voice.
super!
PLAY THAT BASS BROTHA
Wish they would get creative like Suzanne Vega did in the early 90's- I remember loving the funky style of the narrative and the catchy "da da da da- da da da da-da da da da da da da da"
Suzanne Vega owned ASMR before it was even a thing.
Espectacular esta canción me hizo moverme a cual mas con un ritmo coordinado y especial , viva por siempre.
I love her.
Yes super.
this is genius!
wonder if she normally avoids party's because everyone will ask her for that one thing XD . she played also a very important role in the development of mp3 . made quite some history with that one song :*D
she is beautiful
Gerry Leonard is a magician and Suzanne is a Queen
😞I miss those days.
Nyc finest
Queenz to uptown cheaaa
I love this girl
Really like this.. she's hip as sh!t..
found this video 'cause I remembered this line:)
amada suzanne...
Awwe 💜
love x
Ms Vega is the definition of genuine sublime cool.
Canción mágica
Voz hermosa dulce y cálida
Me encante
I love @suzyv.....
Слушаю -- это моя молодость. Как легко всё вспомнить. Спасибо.
La beauté n'a pas d'âge, elle te transporte, comme un enfant sur un nuage...
This could be the best version of this song of hers tbh
Большое спасибо за песню.
by the way this is 80's really! late 80's, am I right? anyone there born 1968 like me? Gosh I feel old!
Susannah Andrews Suzanne originally recorded the song in 1984. DNA ‘redid’ the song in 1990with the dance beat added.
William Holden died November 12, 1981. Probably written on Friday the 13th. Released 6 years later in 1987. Became a big hit 10 years later when remixed by DNA in 1992.

She's still beautiful holy fuck

This is how you do it with wit and experience.

remind me of NY
Nice story, always loved this song.
I'm glad she's not lipsyncing
Pre requisite for the bass player to put a bass face. Well done man.
What is it that makes this song so captivating?😊
That v-sync tear on the video tho @___@'

Funky!!!

In a way, I liked this mellow version of the song better than the mass released version.
@FlameHue
Ok. Lets say it is. How about you? how many songs do you have?
THe GUy on the bass loves himself. I do not want his job.
@bitulok3131 I have over 63 songs, and they are all in my head. They will die with me when my life ends. So, how many fucking songs do you have?
Right now 66
I am Luka..I love you my Suzanne xx
Rip to good music!
Sounds like Pink Floyd's version of this song. This is only my opinion, maybe that's because of the spacey atmosphere
Why didn't dude drop that sic base line, and why did they not have beats to this? Guess they wanted to make it all artsy and shit, but the hip hop angle fused with the folk acapella is what made this song special. :(
Wally Schroeder
Non-sense. The bass line they used here is the most solid reminder to the old version.
And it really shreds.
Wally Schroeder Because that version you’re referring to was actually a remix by the British duo DNA in 1990, a few years after Suzanne Vega’s original version. So I guess she’s performing a “remix” of a remix of her own original song? hehe
The original was acapella
This crowd is awful! Suzanne and the two guys rock though.
Which store location?
Tom's restaurant, NY.
Watch this,

@FlameHue
I have none. At least not in my head. In your head huh? That really made me laugh. Good for you. How about voices? How many do you have in your head? What are they telling you? haha
Hahahahahaha that was great. Greater than her post, though her post was great too
Rub it with funk.
Please vocal women come out...we need you. I mean it.
Top 5 real songs 1jimmy at woodstock
Who are the other musicians?
Gerry Leonard is the guitar player. He did her NPR tiny desk concert with her.
not as depressing as people going to rave taking drugs all the time!
Susannah Andrews sweet generalization, breh
@1:22 y'all
Think Luca on the second floor has food poisoning. She has a fever of 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees.
Nah, sorry. But always nice to see you.

Совсем не то
Is this the only fucking song she has? She's been singing it for 50 years now.
FlameHue No, she also has 'Luka'. That makes two
No, she has many great songs, it's just that people are too lazy to find out about them. Try Gypsy, Ironbound / Fancy Poultry, Institution Green, Small Blue Thing, In Liverpool...
