    I first heard this song over 30 years ago driving at midnight in a porsche up the california coast. My beautiful lover wendy leaning and laying on me and us holding hands. I did not this love would not last forever. I miss her every day. The best person and love of my life.

      When they hear the sound of love,it reminds them how angry and jealous they've become, how cold their hearts, how much they're missing and how
      separated from their native natural bliss. Instead of reminding them who they are, it reminds them of who they are not anymore.Rather than confront this dragon, and look at what is truly happening to them,they blame the song,the terrible thing that showed them how their love was stolen.

    This is a wonderfully mature song for a woman of only eighteen. It is full of lovely visual images and is mercifully free of the narcissism which blights most songs by teenagers. It echoes some of the ideas of Joni's "Cactus Tree" ("Don't try to follow..."/""They will lose her if they follow") but it has its own distinct and unique voice. There are very few teenagers who write songs which still sound fresh and lucid when you are mature. This is a rare thing.

      I agree that this is a very mature song for someone of tender years. However, I think it may be shaded by "The man with the child in his eyes": written by a 13-year old Kate Bush. Admittedly much shorter, but incredibly insightful nonetheless.

You are a singular talent, important, gifted and a wonderful person. I have met you one (in York, UK) and you were modest, caring, and everything I expected you to be. This version of Gypsy is a stunning performance. Crying now 😢

    When she performs this at concerts she usually tells a longer version of the story at the start, sometimes pheriperally involving Leonard Cohen, and on one occasion (Barbican London, around November 2012 I think - I was there) announcing that the subject of the song was in the audience. That got the loudest cheer of the evening :)

    Suzanne Vega is a wondeful songwriter and singer. She's a very sensitive - poetic and also a classy woman; a real artist, but unfortunately also far underrated. She would deserve quite more attention! Only the English Dido is on her high level, a sort of a parallel to her

    To think that what made feel this crazy intense way about this song at ten - still does at 43. I was spinning in my today having forgot some these perfect lyrics. Divinity to me.
    I was playing it at TEN on a mixed tape and thinking about some boy from my school who I want quite sure why I felt obsession for. Whi also stared at me but had no physical reason to speak to me. Who showed later 10 years later as those we think about without fear or reason seem to do.
    Cycles and kharma/twin flames whatever you want to call this psychic resonance I feel when I hear this eternal message and feel so much more than nostalgia for one being.
    I am 43 now. I don’t know exactly what anything means but the love that I have felt on this planet for some people. Thank you for this masterpiece SV. -A woman in Maine in 2021

    the first time I ever saw her was in 1987 at the Lyric Theatre in Baltimore. They sold out 2,500 seats and added a second show. Richard Thompson opened for her, and I got the impression more people had come to see him than her. Still, she received a standing ovation at the end of the night.
