What I like is that she is just plain singing. No throaty strained vocals no screaming no annoying overused vocal runs and unneeded gymnastics Just beautiful singing.
for discrete i mean not a so-so one LOL never intending that, i mean she is a not exploitation artist, and she is a true artist and also members of the band here are so brilliant discrete
Solitude stands by the window She turns her head as I walk in the room I can see by her eyes she's been waiting Standing in the slant of the late afternoon And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame Solitude stands in the doorway And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette By her long cool stare and her silence I suddenly remember each time we've met And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame And she says "I've come to set a twisted thing straight" And she says "I've come to lighten this dark heart" And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear And I say "I've never thought of finding you here" I turn to the crowd as they're watching They're sitting all together in the dark in the warm I wanted to be in there among them I see how their eyes are gathered into one And then she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame And she says "I've come to set a twisted thing straight" And she says"l've come to lighten this dark heart" And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear And I say "I've never thought of finding you here" Solitude stands in the doorway And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette By her long cool stare and her silence I suddenly remember each time we've met And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
I first saw this music video, and heard this song, for the first time, at nine years old in an early evening in August of 1987 on either MTV or VH1 (cannot remember which one) when I was punished to my room for the rest of the night. I was disrespectful to my dad when he said no after I asked if a neighborhood friend could eat over. After dinner I had to spend the rest of the night in my room until bedtime. It being summer, there was still a couple hours of daylight left and it killed me not going back outside. It was a beautiful summer day. So I put my TV on (I was never told I couldn't watch TV) and turned to one of those music video stations. This video came on and I was mesmerized. I had never heard this song on the radio, ever. Not even since. OR seen the music video ever again until about 2012 or 2013 when I found it on CZcams. If it wasn't for being punished to my room that night in 1987, I would have never known about this song even still. Haha.... It's a funny memory now and I have to laugh every time I watch this video or listen to this song. As a nine year old who was feeling sorry for himself at the time, this video and song comforted me. Such an appropriate name for the song as well since I had to spend the rest of that evening in solitude. Haha... I'm always amused by this memory now. Great song and video. I always enjoy putting this on.
Well, I don't believe there's anything like introvert or extrovert. You might disagree with me but let me tell you why I have this opinion. Actually, I believe, If you're hesitant taking to people particularly girls, It's because you're shy and haven't ever exposed yourself to such an environment. Sometimes it's fear that makes you reluctant to go out and converse with people. Fear that They'll criticize you or mock you for multiple reasons. It may be 'cuz you failed some exam or something else. You know the reasons better!! If someone isn't habitual attending parties or other social gathering doesn't mean He has got an aversion for these but 'cuz either of the Aforementioned reasons or 'cuz That very event or party doesn't suit that individual. If people aren't nice to me Why the hell should I visit them to converse?? No matter what the hell they think of me I fucking don't care!! Whether they call me so called "Introvert" or anything worse than that I fucking don't care!! Afterall, They will come to me and kneel before me and will even be ready to lick my shoes for their benefits. At that point of time I'll fucking kick these scoundrels away. My words might seem aggressive to you but It's the pain inside my heart which has taken manifestation.
@@deepakjoshi823 Is your point that being consumed in your own world (whether school, work or personal relationships) is incompatible with the traditional classifications of introvert and extrovert? I hope your pain has eased in the month since you responded to Peggy's comment (itself posted 9 years after Suzanne's team published this studio recording). Whoever Suzanne wrote Solitude Standing and Luca about, whether autobiographical or not, it's a reflection of the struggles of others if not reflective of your own lived experience.
@@danwiddon3854 When I got to know about this song just the moment before I've commented here, so it's obvious for my comments being subsequent to the date of relise or to the events following the relise. So, What's Weird in that???
Truth. But scratch "female" from your comment. Suzanne is one of the best ever, ever, EVER... no boys category, no girls category. She stands as one of the best.
One of her best songs ever in my opinion...so complex but simple too. Amazing. Her look in this video is one of my favorites too...such a cool classy chick.
Very cool song. I remember the song Luka from years ago. I was watching a British crime drama and a character was named Luka. I Googled on Suzanne Vega and this song and have been listening to her songs for two hours. Wow how did i miss her? Enjoying now though. Too early for me to make a decision but i think Suzanne is in Kate Bush territory. Art, lyrics, haunting melodies, a totally natural beauty to both ladies. Very cool. BTW i am 73 years old. Just goes to show never stop searching for great music.
I love this song, one of the most subdued, understated and haunting songs of this era. That said, one gets the impression that the band went through at least a half pound of blow during the video shoot.
This was directed by Jonathan Demme who went on to do "Silence of the Lambs." I love the editing and how well he captured the energy and personalities of her fantastic band mates. Best vid and track of her brilliant career imo.
Some of my favorite music videos from the 80s are this one, New Order's Perfect Kiss (also directed by Demme) and Midnight Oil's Put Down That Weapon. They all have the band and instruments at the center of attention and there's something magic about watching the band working I cant explain.
@@animusic432 💯 As humans we talk all the time about "chemistry" between people as it applies in romantic relationships; that's pretty much what happens in a great band of 2 or more artists also, I think, or, a cast of actors, etcetera. You can feel that intangible cohesiveness and reverberation of energies bouncing off one another almost like a taste in your mouth. I used to go to lots of shows and judged a good or bad one based partly on that quality alone, synchronicity!
@@OlavLadnav Including getting there. Munich -> Barcelona -> Pyrenees -> Zaragoza -> Salamanca -> (Estremadura) -> Granada -> back up the coast to Barcelona -> Munich. All including very meandering ways.
I heard her music at my neigbours when I was around 7 - I pestered my school for guitar lessons, they eventually put them on and I was the first and only girl for a long time playing strings because of this amazing talent - she is a wonderful artist. Im 31 now and still sing her songs.
the best of the underrated 80's folk-ish underlaying movement: suzanne vega, bruce cockburn, kate bush, lloyd cole and the commotions, the dream academy, the go betweens, aztec camera, indigo girls, prefab sprout... it was there finding its own way - while everyone was slam dancing to punk and new wave, these folks were keeping it real in the undertones...
Wow...I remember how much this album meant to me in the 80s. It's amazing how revisiting an old love like Solitude Standing can stir up those same feelings as I sing every word. Such a timeless classic. Totally underrated.
Pat i wholeheartedly agree... The nights i lay flat on my back in the dark, utterly transported. It was almost mystical, to connect with those words was healing. Fancy poultry parts sold here, breasts & thighs & hearts. Backs are cheap & wings are nearly freeee
Same here this album was a rite of passage growing into young adulthood . and the same feelings are coming back that I felt at this period of my life when I would just sit on my walks home after a rugged week of business classes in Providence RI I would do anything to turn back time .
Clayton land You are right on the money...I was living and working in New Haven, Ct. when this came out...I am 62 now...It is still one of my faves...!
This was my favorite album when I was in high school, and it's still wild to me that a song like this could have been a hit in any era. Suzanne didn't chase any trends, her music was defiantly personal and wasn't produced within an inch of its life to try and fit in with waht was getting played on the radio. And yet "Luka" and "Solitude Standing" resonated with a wide audience because the stories Suzanne told were so relatable, because there was so much compassion and humanity in her songs. I don't believe nostalgia is a good thing but I can't help but admit I miss that time, when she and like-minded artists like Kate Bush and Jane Siberry were accomplishing so much (and, for a time, successors like Tori Amos and Toni Childs). Apart from the occasional one-off success like Phoebe Bridgers, I don't know if that would be possible now.
OMG this song... The mystery in her husky delivery plus the danger in the ominous rhythms grabbed my attention the first time I heard it decades ago. The tumbling notes of the keyboard expressed the anxious thrill I felt listening to something so foreboding.
In short, she has reached that level of enlightenment. The lyrics are amazing and is a reflection of her alter ego being at one with her fears and openness to the quieting of one's mind. A Flower with a Flame is the Lotuc of Enlightment that she has found and is now embracing. Great Song and Great Artist that was LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF MOST AT THE TIME. THANK YOU SUZANNE
1987, New York City. All the poetry, the tense realm, the lights and the shadows of that very Age melt into the beauty and the music of my sole muse: Suzanne. Thanks forever, you soul of crystal.
Remember waiting for the train to Munich on small german bahnfof near Ingolstadt. I had couple of hours ,remember sipping cofee , smoking ciggies and listening to Suzanne cassette on my Sony Walkam in the train station Coffee shop. It was 1987.
That voice.....absolute shivers down my spine. A dozen hits in this country. One made it to #2 in the charts, but other than that nothing above a week at #21. Musical injustice!
Use to read lots of guitar and keyboard magazines in the mid / late 80’s and these guys were exactly what young studio and backing musicians looked like at that time.
Words cant describe how special this song is. The way she stars I love it. Very cold creating this elegant sexy vibe that really make me wish I knew her personally. That is style man. WOW.
For me this song reminds me of those late summer days early fall,, Getting ready for it being Friday , Walking home from Business classes listening to this on my Walk Man . How I wish I could go back to those days in the 80's the solitude of facing a weekend far away from Home and going to University in Providence RI . Just sayin
What a wonderful song, I love the whole album. Nowadays when everyone has to stay home alone /solitude, her words get a special meaning to me: I wanted to be in there among them! I´ve come to set a twisted thing straight. Everything is upside down. Makes me sad und strong at the same time. Stay strong, stay healthy. Listen to good music, sing, dance and enjoy.
Man, this album was my first cassette I ever bought!! I bought it for Luka, but ended up falling in love with this song. I love this video. It is so 80's that it rocks!!! I bet each and every one of those guys would still be a blast to jam with!!! SV... my first love...
What a kickass song. The guitar work is so intelligently tasty. Ironically, I am running the video into a guitar amp from my laptop right now. Genius all.
I remember when I bought this album 1988 and 32 years later this album sounds so fresh , beautiful songs and Suzanne's velvety voice , absolutely one of my favorite LPs from that time til today , thank you for your music , Cheers !
I made a mistake of giving up on SV. I think it was when "Nine Objects of Desire," came out in 1996. For me it just wasn't the SV that I loved so much. However, after hearing "Songs in Red and Grey," for the first time today Jan 2020, it has made me fall deeply back in love, unconditionally with her again. So, so sorry SV for underestimating your talent and how spiritually powerful your music still is today, Keep up the good work, and may you live forever! Love you always Xx
Genius. After all these years, the hairstyles and the clothes of the time are what they are. Still, Suzanne's vision, artistry, and commitment remain genius.
One of my favorite song, the arrangement are well thought , little weird, off tempo, staccato, unusual , it serve the lyrics so well. Probably one of the most strange piece and yet most representative of this era.
This makes me happy...because it's such a good song and it makes me think of the many good songs I haven't discovered yet...that thought makes me so excited because one of fhe best feelings is finding a good song and I get bored of what I've been listening to already. I hope to find many more good songs! ^^
One of the best American singer-songwriters EVER

Stan Gable STFU

Suzanne is a truly underrated artist.
True
I've never heard anyone underrate her.
she has never been underrated anyway, she is a discrete artist
for discrete i mean not a so-so one LOL never intending that, i mean she is a not exploitation artist, and she is a true artist and also members of the band here are so brilliant discrete
@Juan Perez Oh, yes!
She was very popular because of "marlene on the wall" and "luca". But after that nothing happens
Solitude stands by the window
She turns her head as I walk in the room
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
Solitude stands in the doorway
And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
And she says "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
And she says "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say "I've never thought of finding you here"
I turn to the crowd as they're watching
They're sitting all together in the dark in the warm
I wanted to be in there among them
I see how their eyes are gathered into one
And then she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
And she says "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
And she says"l've come to lighten this dark heart"
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say "I've never thought of finding you here"
Solitude stands in the doorway
And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
Solitude standing is me in my home office.

❤ I relate.
This would have to be one of Suzanne's most hauntingly beautiful and enchanting songs!
This was the second song that I heard from Suzanne, just after Luka, and it indeed has a most hauntingly beautiful quality. 🌟🌟🌟
The syncopation, that 6 over 4 keyboard riff, the cool laid-back vocal style, the sickly and slickly talented band... my god, I love this song.
Not to mention the chord changes. Exhibit A for using dissonance to create tension.
I do too !
Not to mention Rick Moranis on guitar !!
The keyboard riff sounds like it could be out of a movie score (the plot is coming together...)
@@shizuokaBLUES Isn't that Marc Shulman?
R.I.P. to the talented director of this video, Jonathan Demme, who died today.
Any relations to Ted Demme?, another director who also died too young.
Terrific attitude towards the material!
Dude i just read the first half of the sentence and instantly knew who you were referring to, even if i didnt know he directed this video
jockejocke1: Jonathan Demme was the uncle of Ted Demme.
Remember Silence of the Lambs?? I could not sleep for three days...
She's a professionally trained dancer you know... yet focuses on her acoustic guitar, playing&singing purely when on stage.... absolutely beautiful
An introvert's anthem.🌱

lookin at about half a kilo there bud
So funny!
It's like the band is from a completely different 80's pop/rock video
No it's called passion
The band mouthing the song along with her is way cool!

How I wish I could go back to those days in the 80's the solitude of facing a weekend far away from Home and going to University in Providence RI . Just sayin
I've liked Susan Vega since I firs heard her in the early 90s..,a Top artist....,.007
Посмотрел восемь раз подряд и не хочу останавливаться!
How peaceful song it is!!😍😍
Discovered Suzanne Vega during a climbing camp in Vergisson, South Burgundy, as a teenager. Love her music. Love her universe. Love her.
I love Suzanne, her voice, her lyrics, her universe of poetry...
I never knew she was so pretty.
Neither i !
Timeless and wonderful.
It's like you are singing into my ear. Unforgettable nuance. Brilliant song. Thank you, Suzanne.
What a wonderful song, I love the whole album. Nowadays when everyone has to stay home alone /solitude, her words get a special meaning to me: I wanted to be in there among them! I´ve come to set a twisted thing straight. Everything is upside down. Makes me sad und strong at the same time.
Stay strong, stay healthy. Listen to good music, sing, dance and enjoy.
Don't forget that single people are also in solitude.
@@pauljordan4452 I know, I know! For them These Times are eben harder!!
Thanks for that comment. Very heartfelt.
@@johnthorne4093 You are welcome. Stay strong and take care.
Man, this album was my first cassette I ever bought!! I bought it for Luka, but ended up falling in love with this song. I love this video. It is so 80's that it rocks!!! I bet each and every one of those guys would still be a blast to jam with!!! SV... my first love...
As a teenager in the 80's certain artists i will always remember and admire their talent Suzanne is right up their.
What a kickass song. The guitar work is so intelligently tasty. Ironically, I am running the video into a guitar amp from my laptop right now.
Genius all.
Suzanne's most talented and powerful band, with some of her best songwriting.
Suzanne is the most beautiful women on the planet. And very talented too
This song is so great! Saw Suzanne a few night ago live and she is still the amazing singer performer.
I can't get this song & suzanne out of my head. Love.
I remember when I bought this album 1988 and 32 years later this album sounds so fresh , beautiful songs and Suzanne's velvety voice , absolutely one of my favorite LPs from that time til today , thank you for your music , Cheers !
I love love love love Suzanne Vega since the 80s
Some of the best and most memorable music of the early nineties.
It came out in 1987
This is an incredible song.
I made a mistake of giving up on SV. I think it was when "Nine Objects of Desire," came out in 1996. For me it just wasn't the SV that I loved so much. However, after hearing "Songs in Red and Grey," for the first time today Jan 2020, it has made me fall deeply back in love, unconditionally with her again. So, so sorry SV for underestimating your talent and how spiritually powerful your music still is today, Keep up the good work, and may you live forever! Love you always Xx
"Songs in Red and Grey" was pretty great.
Same here!
Go back and listen to nine objects of desire..i did that this month..its a great cd
Dark and Brilliant!
A hint: Try this (and the whole album with the same name) with good headphones - it seems it is made especially for them!
good advice for any album by any artist
Genius. After all these years, the hairstyles and the clothes of the time are what they are. Still, Suzanne's vision, artistry, and commitment remain genius.
One of my favorite song, the arrangement are well thought , little weird, off tempo, staccato, unusual , it serve the lyrics so well. Probably one of the most strange piece and yet most representative of this era.
Her voice is so unique!!! Captivating....
this lady is in a singer/songwriters class of her own.
The poetry .
@@peggyfranzen6159 Poetry and song.
I love her voice! And this song is so haunting and memorable.
I love you Suzanne, thanx for the beautiful songs you gave us!!!
This song and this singer are amazing.
I knew this singer today and i liked her song,her voice.
😍😍😍😍😍
I too like this singer..but she is long forgotten
What a wonderful voice... Beautiful
beyond talent, beyond power, beyond beauty - Suzanne is a force of nature, unlike any before.
This makes me happy...because it's such a good song and it makes me think of the many good songs I haven't discovered yet...that thought makes me so excited because one of fhe best feelings is finding a good song and I get bored of what I've been listening to already. I hope to find many more good songs! ^^
Absolute fantastic stuff..I miss the 80s
What a wonderful voice.
his voice full of peace❤
Also one best produced albums I know imo. Incredible production. Her vocals are just so on point.
