This song stands the test of time. Dope in any era. The intro kills you plus the groove hooks you hard. One of those joints that sound even better than you remember it. Talk about haunting! NYC still loves it.
In one of her videos where she tells the story of this song, she said it never caught on as she hoped it would with the original version. Then some time later, her manager called and said someone had used the song (DNA) and made a "Remix" without any permission, and said she should not worry about anything as they were getting ready to sue them. She asked them hold off on the lawsuit, and listened the song, and loved it so much that she asked them to leave them alone, and the song became very famous...!
more reassurance that I am only attracted to the realest in life including taste thanks... I won't research... even if your wrong... it just sounds and feels right... thanks 🙂
First heard this song in 1991, my mom had just died maybe a few days before I heard this. I remember feeling really sad when she sung the part "I am thinking of your voice...." till this day, this song reminds me of that time in my life, I was 14
The "Mother of the MP3" An article in the now defunct magazine Business 2.0 revealed that "Tom's Diner" was also used by Karlheinz Brandenburg to develop the audio compression scheme known as MP3 at what is now the Fraunhofer Society. He recalled: "I was ready to fine-tune my compression algorithm...somewhere down the corridor, a radio was playing 'Tom's Diner.' I was electrified. I knew it would be nearly impossible to compress this warm a cappella voice." In a 2009 documentary about the history of the song by Swedish SVT, Brandenburg said: "I was finishing my PhD thesis, and then I was reading some hi-fi magazine and found that they had used this song to test loudspeakers. I said 'OK, let's test what this song does to my sound system, to MP3'. And the result was, at bit rates where everything else sounded quite nice, Suzanne Vega's voice sounded horrible." Brandenburg adopted the song for testing purposes, listening to it again and again each time he refined the scheme, making sure it did not adversely affect the subtlety of Vega's voice. While the MP3 compression format is not specifically tuned to play the song "Tom's Diner" (an assortment of critically analyzed material was involved in the design of the codec over many years), among audio engineers this anecdote has earned Vega the informal title "The Mother of the MP3"
This song has always taken me to a happy place in my mind. Nothing is too vibrant there, nobody speaking in the background. I'm in the city looking out into the rain but it's not overwhelmingly busy out there. It's very calm and the dim grey morning never seems to end..
I heard this song at a grocery store back in Los Angeles CA while working as a stocker and bagger. I could never get it out of my head. Through the tears I forgot about it. Then during the pandemic I went for a long hike in the Rocky Mountains and while relaxing in my sleeping bag this song popped in my head. It took me years to find it 😂😂😂 classic song.
@@112jungleyou know that you can type "in lyrics" + a sentence or more of the song in google and get, usually a positive result. it works especially well for tom's dinner. 😉👌
Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega is a song that puts your brain in a musical trance that feels good! Great driving song along some interstate somewhere in America indeed! I first heard the song in St. Louis...
The song refers to Toms Restaurant on the corner of Broadway and 112th Street. Its believed the actor was William Holden as only one newspaper , The New York Post featured a front page story of the death, Monday November 16 1981.
I love both versions of this song. The original acapella and this version. Also, I don't know why this song always gave me sort of an eerie feeling. I absolutely love it though.
Totally with you on the both versions response. It allows you to compare and contrast. Love the Albert hall version with a totally respectful audience (as I would expect at RAH) allowing the audience to hear clearly her excellent voice. In the DNA version you get the hooks and beat which draw you along. Both masterful imo
It's not iambic pentameter, which is ba-BOP ba-BOP ba-BOP ba-BOP ba-BOP, i.e. five blocks of a unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This song has four blocks of "da da DA da," which makes it some kind of tetrameter, except the "da da DA da," i.e. four syllables with the accent on the third syllable, doesn't have a name. The fact that this pattern isn't recognizable must be why it is so annoyingly catchy.
I recall first hearing this song within the first half of the year 1991. Only recently have I had the chance to learn the lyrics of it. Let's hope this song doesn't die indeed.
i was young when i fist listen to this song, i was laying on the couch and this started to play, i fell in love with it, of course the news announcer at the time didn't say the names of the songs. This took me 10 years of my life to find, this is my life, i dont know what to do with my life now...
I feel your pain. I listened to this as a kid, and too, fell in love with it. I always assumed it was a different version of the "I Dream of Genie" theme song
I looked for this and asked others if they knew who did this song with no luck. So I came here and typed da da dadada da da and it came up with other songs!!
I got my hopes up when the fallout boys came out with the intro, but I was let down, eventually I thought that maybe that fallout song was the original song, so I was even more happy to find the original song here.
And there was me thinking it was just me that waited years to discover the artist... I found out about 10 years ago from a work mate when i described this song from my past that i had been hunting for.. We all found it in the end :p
Wow, take me back. This was an influential song from the moment I heard it. I also have been looking for this song for years. You can plug in your own lyrics at any time and make it your own song. Fantastic beat you can dance to, high energy and memorable when you hear it. I've had the beat and rythm in my head for years.
Her lyrics, voice, intonations, downbeats, her dance background before she started her acoustic guitar stage performing!!,... bless you for uploading this... And Suzanne yourself?! my true appreciation and best wishes 😙👏👏👏👏👏
We all thought that good music was going to be produced forever.... Now look at us, going back to the 90's just to listen to this phenomenal and timeless song because there's nothing quite like it now days.
This song was pretty ahead of its time. It's crazy how it originally released in 1987 and was remixed in 1990 with this version here, but it sounds like it's from 1994 - 1996.
it wasn't "remixed" per se. The original (and the only one BY Suzanne Vega) was/is acapella.. This version was not only un-official it was illegal at the time. They've long since settled, but at the time Vega was a little upset about it.
@@GradyBroyles It's a remix in every sense of the word remixed by Electronica group DNA. The original didn't have a trip hop beat to it like this does.
Been hearing this song since a child in 90's 😂😂😂 I have always gravitated towards this song all of my 30 years!! It has a calming relaxing vibe no matter how many times I hear it! To think this track was damn near a accident lol...it's crazy
Blast of nostalgia right here. My brother and I were at our local record store searching through the CD section (we were blessed to have a brand new Diskman portable CD player for Christmas) this song comes on the raido (Y-100 Philadelphia) they don't say the name of the song so I ask the man behind the counter. He says Tom's Diner. So my brother calls me over and hands me this album. I still have it. Sometime inconveniences are good.
This track is really like it is coming from a different dimension. So impressive and magical in sound, so calming, the piano, the electronical background sounds, I have no words for it, better than most other electronical songs.
radi6404 Its that 90's sound man, thats when shit was real IMO. Whatever the genre (House, Techno, Rave, Garage, Jungle, DnB, Dub, Hip-Hop, Chillout etc etc) it was just better LOL. Something pure about 90's digital music thats been lost these days.
I remember when I was six sitting in the back seat on black leather in a 91 Ford SHO, with my dad behind the wheel and my brother in the front passenger seat while listening to this song on the JBL audio system heading to go get some chicken to eat on a warm summer night in Bakersfield California.
Rob H same here in the back of my Moms silver nissan sentra blasting to this, stuck in New York traffic in the middle of tines square staring at that Mark Walburg poster in CK undies bein 17 and wishing i was next to him in that poster. Good times
In-fact, this is known to be one of the best, if not THE best, remix-songs ever produced, in-terms of the difference between it and the original production. This was also the first song ever on mp3-format, specifically because it has such a large musical range and instrumentation!!! This is a truly timeless song/remix that has not only withstood the test-of-time, but remains an absolute favorite of many, if not most people, for the decades since it was first released as a boot-leg from DNA's car trunks. SERIOUSLY.
I heard this song for the first time in a club ( way back then), I was standing beside the speakers, The intro and the groove grabbed my by the Ballz and threw me onto the dance floor. Still today...it won't let go! Timeless Groove!
Que som , lembranças boas,muitas emoções!! Cheio da vontade de crescer, Cresci,escuto em alto e bom som,matando a vontade!!!! Obrigado Deus pelo tempo concedido🙏😎
Silvio faz uns 15 anos ou mais q estava procurando essa música ontem q tocou numa aí consegui resgatar ela . Ouvia ela quando eu tinha 16 anos numa metalúrgica q trabalhava.
I wish i could go back to the times where i first heard songs like this in the 90's. I was born in 91 so i was just a child when all this music was popluar.
I'm so happy Fall Out Boy sampled the little part in the beginning. I recognized that part when this song came on the radio, so I listened to it to see where they had gotten it. I find this song intriguing for some reason. Maybe it's because I like to try to find the hidden meaning in songs and poetry, and I can't really find one in this one? I'm not sure. But I like the mystery.
I just realized you're refering to the recent uncensored / full cut of the dream sketch which used this as a soundtrack, didn't know it when I commented, now suddently your comment makes sense.
What a classic song...the first time I heard this was in a couple of years back when they played on the radio. But it wasn't the long version though of course. I miss the 90s pop especially this one as I consider this a good song to pass time or just dance to! :D. Thanks for uploading!
This song stands the test of time. Dope in any era. The intro kills you plus the groove hooks you hard. One of those joints that sound even better than you remember it. Talk about haunting! NYC still loves it.
most definitely!
Janeflame5 agreed. Always loved it. So very addicting.
I love the acapella version, the backing music of this version is a little too much I think
(acapella: ua-cam.com/video/58Nz7y26Tfs/v-deo.html)
this song have NYC influence all over it
Best song in the whole wide world and this man is from jamaica a black man big up to dizia song yah

Moment of silence for all the people who still can't find this song.
😂
It legit took me 5 sec lol ..."da da dada da da"
I literally wrote tututudu tututudu and it was the 3rd!!
@Travis L nice, Travis!
I think some songs are just intimidating to search for when the hook isn't actual words

Interesting piece of information! Thank you
👋👋
Thank you for sharing, the song itself is amazing.
Karl had good taste. He settled here in our town in the US. I met him at the Jazz Cafe he would tell us about MP3s.
I was trying to find this song...
FOR YEARS!!!!!!
i'm too, finally at this moment...
try SoundHound next time
Yakub Kristianto
Never heard about it until now, thanks for telling me! :)
me too!!! i came across the title on 90's top 100 hits!
brina Smith That's awesome! :D I had a friend help me find it lol
This is not a song, this is an atmosphere...
It's the bass line...
It’s a funky one at that.
Yes!!!!
Iḿ jammin to this atmosphere right now
this is not just an atmosphere... this song is a masterpiece.
THIS SONG IS STILL A TIMELESS CLASSIC AFTER 30 YEARS.
Yes
Next year, it will be 40 years
Hell yeah 😎
God damn dude you make me feel so old I remember when this song came out
wow 30 years?!?!?
32 yrs old song and still rocks!
Released in 1987, so going on 36 years old.
It really does
@@joehamlet7576Are you sure it was 87 instead of 1990. I could be wrong, but I remember hearing this in 90. Maybe that's just when I heard it

The song with the beat I can never forget with the words I can never remember.
it's her voice...

JillSaphic voice, the beat, I love all of it 😊
So true brother this song is so deep wow

So beautiful great vioce

The day before my 21st birthday, the day I crashed and wrote off my car. But managed to survive. Memories.💞🙏
Straight 90s banger. Timeless and classic. Born in 83. Nostalgic mode.
2024! 😎
I keep coming back to this song, especially when I'm not in the best of my spirits. The song somehow makes me feel better.
Same for me bro!🙂
I forgot how much of a jam this song was. Hopefully somebody uses it in a show or movie and a new audience can appreciate it

The 2Pac version (Dopefiend's dinner) is also very good, it showcases his talent ass a rapper and gives a similar nostalgic-melancholic feeling
Tom’s Diner / Song by Suzanne Vega
I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in
It is always nice to see you
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way
As they are kissing their hellos
I'm pretending not to see them
Instead, I pour the milk
I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of
And I'm turning to the horoscope
Looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
And so I raise my head
There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside does she see me?
No she does not really see me
Cause she sees her own reflection
And I'm trying not to notice
That she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair is getting wet
Oh, this rain it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice
And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began
I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train

The exact date she is singing about is Wednesday, 18 November, 1981.
Could she get in studio 54, I think she could get in, maybe not she might have been carded,
I was two months old 🎉🎉
The strongly spiritual feeling is just beneath the surface. Love the originality😊
So happy I rediscovered this song
Timeless song. I still hear it out and about.
The secret song of the 90s (everybody knows that was there)
So ahead of its time, you can introduce it now late 2021 or in the future and it will still become a hit!

Wouldn't be hard as its a recorded loop.

RIP William Holden. Song written
40 years ago(11-13-1981).
This song is the most 90s song ever.
Nah, Pump up the Jam- Technotronic beats this. ha ha ha
That song was released in 1989, close though.
You Forget A 1000 Things A Day Shouldnt you be with Spike? Somewhere off on a bounty hunt?

I'm sure he/she is aware.
not trip-hop or hip-hop this is for sure house
Where do I know this from and why does it feel so nostalgic?
I think I heard it on sucker punch
Fall Out Boy sampled this song for Centuries, their new song.
locksh Could just be the radio?
I thought the same thing I swear it's on a movie I've seen a million times I can't think of which one

I heard this song for the first time in a club ( way back then), I was standing beside the speakers, The intro and the groove grabbed my by the Ballz and threw me onto the dance floor. Still today...it won't let go! Timeless Groove!
I MISS THE 90'S!
@Jon Doe No, the original was 1987 (late 80s) but the DNA Remix we're hearing here was 1990 bub.
@Jon Doe Nah man you said early 80s 1987 is the mid to latter part of the decade bro LOL 🤣🤣
@Jon Doe It's cool though. I think we're all here for the same reason anyway. To revisit some of the great music back then. Good times.
@Jon Doe Scroll up. You said early 80s. It's there for everyone to see lol. Well so long as you don't edit it in response to this comment. 🙄
@Jon Doe It's your first comment man. 😲

Cheio da vontade de crescer,
Cresci,escuto em alto e bom som,matando a vontade!!!!
Obrigado Deus pelo tempo concedido🙏😎
Silvio faz uns 15 anos ou mais q estava procurando essa música ontem q tocou numa aí consegui resgatar ela . Ouvia ela quando eu tinha 16 anos numa metalúrgica q trabalhava.
What a great track! I remember the first time I heard this I was at a junior high school dance. I was like "Holy crap! This is so cool!"
Esta canción nunca pasara de moda
Nunca
Ту ту тура тутутура тэтэтэра тут а Тора туттарарара утром сижу на углу жду кофе ☕️
OMG !!! I finally found it!!!!!!!!
+Marcelo Rodrigues haha it took me several attempts to find it as well
cody bennett Wow ! We are lucky people !!! hahaha
It took me like 3 years.

Luck treats us all differently, eh?
DeGroteLaaf Yeah, that´s true !!!
This is that song that everyone knows but no-one seems to know the name of.
Search with Suzanne Vega: My Name Is Luka and this come at the top :)
yep, I put it on thinking it was one of her songs I didnt know
This song always played on the radio in the 90’s when I was little 🤗🤗🤗
I remember this song when I was little in the 90s and I love the beat right now
I wish i could go back to the times where i first heard songs like this in the 90's. I was born in 91 so i was just a child when all this music was popluar.
I'm so happy Fall Out Boy sampled the little part in the beginning. I recognized that part when this song came on the radio, so I listened to it to see where they had gotten it. I find this song intriguing for some reason. Maybe it's because I like to try to find the hidden meaning in songs and poetry, and I can't really find one in this one? I'm not sure. But I like the mystery.
MDE never DIES
what are you doing here
what you mean man?
I just realized you're refering to the recent uncensored / full cut of the dream sketch which used this as a soundtrack, didn't know it when I commented, now suddently your comment makes sense.
I JUST REALIZED THIS SONG IS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC TO THE DREAM SKETCH!!! I loved the song to begin with, now I love it even more. MDE never dies.
today, while making currant jam, I was humming this tune... it's good... both the song and the jam ❤️🎶
Thanks, Suzanne.
This song has been in my head for twenty years, and I still love it.
Luka is way cool to.
Andy
Edit: Too!
Mor than 30 years after keeps sounding really modern
What a classic song...the first time I heard this was in a couple of years back when they played on the radio. But it wasn't the long version though of course. I miss the 90s pop especially this one as I consider this a good song to pass time or just dance to! :D. Thanks for uploading!
Best Upload Quality I Heard. Great Job! :)
That bassline, that fucking bassline...
Yes!
Nice one. Glad to found it : )
Hey this is my jam when I was doing chores! Turned this up every time and annoyed the neighbors. Sure miss this 😁
