Once I stood alone so proud
Held myself above the crowd
And now I'm low on the ground

From here I look around to see
What avenues belong to me
I can't tell what I've found

Now what would you have me do?
I ask you please
I wait to hear

The mother and the matador
The mystic, each were here before
Like me to stare you down

You appear without a face
Disappear but leave your trace
I feel your unseen frown

Now what would you have me do?
I ask you please
I wait to hear
Your voice
The word
You say
I wait
To see your sign
Would I
Obey?

I look for you in heathered moor
The desert and the ocean floor
How low does one heart go?

Looking for your fingerprints
I find them in coincidence
And make my faith to grow

Forgive me all my blindnesses
My weakness and unkindnesses
As yet unbending still

Struggling so hard to see
My fist against eternity
And will you break my will?

Now what would you have me do?
I ask you please
I wait to hear
Your voice
The word
You say
I wait
To see your sign
Would I
Obey?

Now what would you have me do?
I ask you, please.
I wait to hear
Your voice
The word
You say
I wait
To see your sign
Could I
Obey?

There is quite some Rupert Hine in this song.

Suzanne is an artist that has managed a career that has bubbled under for many decades in my life...always there and yet never really grabbed me...always good, never astounding...

Always good to hear this song. This album is one of a handful that got me through the hardest part of my life so far.

This is, I think, the expression of an universal truth: there is no bad reason to *like* a song, a piece of art.
That implies - still in my humble opinion - another truth: nobody who is stating his apreciation for any given piece of art is totally devoid of personal reasons, however deep and indisputable his level of expertise may be.

On a personal note, I'd like to mention that this album came out a couple of months after the most difficult breakup of my life, and that it helped me a LOT in coping with the hard time I was going through.

I liked Suzanne before that album; since then, she has become a part of my life.

I've seen her live. As soon as she begins to sing, everything else stops mattering (no rockstar attitude, minimalistic stage presence etc.)

This thread is stretching back over eight years or so but what the hell: 

Simon Cowell is a smug, self-serving @$$40|3. Terry Gross asked him years ago on Fresh Air whether American Idol wasn't just churning out the kind of homogenized singing that turns up as the headlining act at Six Flags. Boom: she hit the nail on the head. 

Suzanne Vega has a beautiful voice. I think she stayed too long with her early style but 99.9F° was a brilliant album. NOT the kind of talent you'd know if you had to rely on shows like American Idol to find talent for you.

She has the same slightly off-key delivery as Neil Young. Despite this, her voice just 'works' for me. Great songwriting too.

  i have to agree with Proclivities. there may be something about that thing laughingly called commercial potential. many who arent fond of the folk influence find more electrified music to be stuffed with sleight of hand and distraction.  i do like her and particularly this song and am keen on  singing poets in general.  but to be fair, this song does resemble "small blue thing"  ... pretty heavily.

She is out on tour in the U.S. and my wife and I saw her 2 weeks ago,  She was coming off a cold, so may have not been at her best.  Still a good voice.  Just she and another guy playing electric guitar.  She performed several new songs.  One I really liked.  I can't think of the lyrics, but it has the same word at the end of one phrase and the start of the next.   It was clever.

It is indeed.  He has had enormous success here.   Do you really not know that?  He was even featured on 60 minutes.  That is actually an amazing honour in this country.   I love him.   He revolutionized American TV.  Not a TIC comment.

Since we're comparing her to other artists, this reminds me a little of "Shotgun Down the Avalanche" by Shawn Colvin.  Still, it's Suzanne Vega, and I love it on its own merits. She has such a childlike voice, but can deliver such powerful lyrics easily and somewhat understatedly.  Amazing singer. {#Music}

Saw Suzanne perform as part of the FastFolk concert in Greenwich Village (at the bottom Line I think) in 1989,  She was awesome then.....and still is.  Sing on SV.....

It is a really great album. It's a breakup album so the mood might be tough for some to get past.

Also, the link to the article that DocTec posted on her creative process is well worth reading. It's an ongoing blog in the NY Times on songwriting with different contributors. Suzanne's written a few. Very articulately of course.

Suzanne Vega = Celine Dion? I don't think so... first time I've heard that one and I really can't see the comparison. As to being "Christian Rock" I've also never heard her classified as a Christian artist and I used to be in that crowd. I think this song is meant to be simply spiritual without necessarily pointing to any one organized religion. A lovely song indeed.

Love this song and the CD- would love to hear some of the other tunes played. Mystical voice. :meditate.gif:
