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 🙂
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.
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.

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"
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...
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..
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.
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
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
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
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 😙👏👏👏👏👏
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
You kinda sound like one of those 40 year old moms that every once in a while tries on their old wedding dress, goes halfway, and then has a mental breakdown
My favourite when it comes to ironing is Music for 18 Musicians, by Steve Reich. It last 56 or 57 minutes, so I usually get quite a few shirts done in that time.
As a drummer I know exactly what you mean. First I start the hihat then the snare and then the kick drum. Then repeat ad infinitum pair the horns with China cymbals...
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.
This is the most minimalistic song I've ever heard! A song so short but remains a permanent stain in my memory! I was 14 when this came out. 30 years has gone by super FAST!! Let's just hope this song will be in people's memories for another 30 years and beyond! I also love the energy this gives! This is one of those motivational get up and go type of songs that would get me through school 🏫 when the 🚌 strike was going on around 91-92 🏫 season. This song is definitely worth the download!
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.
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.
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
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?!?!?

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

oh shit, it's like an audio version of Lenna.
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.
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,
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...

Compartilho os comentários todos dizem a verdade
Straight 90s banger. Timeless and classic. Born in 83. Nostalgic mode.
2024! 😎
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
This was my summer jam back in 1990. You hear that Soul II Soul vibe all through this joint. #CLASSIC😎
Same drum loop
@@R4NDOMUS3RNAME Yes👍
it's her voice...
Ikr
JillSaphic voice, the beat, I love all of it 😊
So true brother this song is so deep wow
izombie!!!!
So beautiful great vioce
A message to the future generations: "DON'T LET THIS SONG DIE" 💞👌😊👍
Danced to this track at a party just last Friday. It was nostalgia night, still sounded as fresh as I heard over 30 years ago
After so many years, I finally found it.
The song with the beat I can never forget with the words I can never remember.
So happy I rediscovered this song
We need a 10 hour version of the first 5 seconds of this song.
ikr
damn right 😄👏
first 8 or 9 seconds would be better, but damn straight!
:) I'll let you know when I'm done
Wouldn't be hard as its a recorded loop.
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!🙂
The secret song of the 90s (everybody knows that was there)
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
Written by Suzanne Vega
Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.
Allen Dmith is this written iambic pentameter?
Why are the last 4 lyrics added if those aren't even singed?
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.
@@Mr-__-Sy They're from the original Acapella version.
ua-cam.com/video/DkYPge6ZKSQ/v-deo.html The last four lines are sung in this version.
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 agree damn 😬👍❤️🤣
joshimawashi yo I was going to reply " Deelite Groove us in the Heart is the most 90's song" until I saw your reply. haha good pic
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.
The day before my 21st birthday, the day I crashed and wrote off my car. But managed to survive. Memories.💞🙏
It's the Soul II Soul bass thump for me. And the eerie lyrics. It's so...random. Loved it back in 1990 and still do.
Excellent link to soul to soul. I had not thought about it until you mentioned it. Ta ...
@@colincampbell437 That backing track IS Soul II Soul's. You know the original version was done acapella.
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
The 2Pac version (Dopefiend's dinner) is also very good, it showcases his talent ass a rapper and gives a similar nostalgic-melancholic feeling
This song never fails to calm me down when I'm feeling sad
Timeless song. I still hear it out and about.
So ahead of its time, you can introduce it now late 2021 or in the future and it will still become a hit!

This song always played on the radio in the 90’s when I was little 🤗🤗🤗
I love this song. Takes me back to a kinder place in my life.. 😋
This is the most minimalistic song I've ever heard! A song so short but remains a permanent stain in my memory! I was 14 when this came out. 30 years has gone by super FAST!! Let's just hope this song will be in people's memories for another 30 years and beyond! I also love the energy this gives! This is one of those motivational get up and go type of songs that would get me through school 🏫 when the 🚌 strike was going on around 91-92 🏫 season. This song is definitely worth the download!
Truly an ageless sound, still holds up today and then some , simple nicely layered,and that low end woomp woomp Bass 👌👌😏
Still listening in 2016...
I used to workout to this song, great for cardio exercise.
I loved this song since I was a kid and I still love it as a man now on 2020
I loved this song since I was a kid and I still love it today!
First heard this jam in 1990 while I was stationed in S.Korea. nice jam.
To me This is ONE of few songs that REALLY captured the art of the REMIX.. TIMELESS!
My god what a classic NYC club joint!!🔥🔥🔥
Oh baby, watch out....I think I'm havin a FLASHBACK!!!!
Thanks, Suzanne.
This song has been in my head for twenty years, and I still love it.

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.
Increíble voz ,hermosura de canción.
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!"
IN 1990 I WAS 21 THIS IS STILL A JAM 2021 DETROIT EASTSIDE.

You young if you just heard this song I am 31 and I heard this song in 2000
I remember this song when I was little in the 90s and I love the beat right now
Amazing immaculate incomparable
No lo puedo creer yevo más de 30 años buscando esta linda rola hasta que di con ella gracias a un tik tok qué me encontré en la red 🎉🎉🎉
watching this in 2016 and loving it
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.
Wonderful, Beautiful...This song brings back many memories of my youth. I'm 53 years old and I still like it
This beat and hook classic
No rhyming of the lyrics but she killed it singing along with the beat.Awesome track,thanks you Suzanne 👏🏾
It's better that way. Rhyming is lazy.
it's a remix man
