    Ah, the old days. I walked into Sam the Record Man, and the clerk said, ‘you’ll like this’, and handed me the album. He was right, of course.

      I have no idea what she sounds like now, but I'd be willing to put money down that it's pretty much exactly the same; whereas most singers push their voices or hit certain high notes or whatever, her style of singing seems like it would require the least amount of effort and she could do it that way for the rest of her life.

    If you want me
    You can find me
    Left of center
    Off of the strip
    In the outskirts
    In the fringes
    In the corner
    Out of the grip
    When they ask me
    "What are you looking at?"
    I always answer
    "Nothing much" (not much)
    I think they know that
    I'm looking at them
    I think they think
    I must be out of touch
    But I'm only
    In the outskirts
    And in the fringes
    On the edge
    And off the avenue
    And if you want me
    You can find me
    Left of center
    Wondering about you
    I think that somehow
    Somewhere inside of us
    We must be similar
    If not the same
    So I continue
    To be wanting you
    Left of center
    Against the grain
    If you want me
    You can find me
    Left of center
    Off of the strip
    In the outskirts
    In the fringes
    In the corner
    Out of the grip
    When they ask me
    "What are you looking at?"
    I always answer
    "Nothing much" (not much)

    Suzanne Vega's voice takes me right back to those late 80s days. This is a great song of hers that's somewhat underrated, I'd say.

    In the hope that Suzanne reads this: my mum was friends with Andy Matthews… as in ‘men will be men’. His funeral was the most surreal thing ever, in a barn with loads of people bringing their deaf dogs, and doing an encore when his coffin was carried off. That dude was so cool ❤️

    That is freakishly contemporary sounding for a song from 30 years ago. Just a bit over 30 years before this song was Singin' In The Rain.

      From Singin' in the Rain to Pretty in Pink and this song. That's interesting. I notice you posted your comment fairly recently but before Debbie Reynolds died. It's now coming up on two weeks since she and Carrie Fisher passed as I type this. Singin' in the Rain has been on many people's minds again.
