Vega, Suzanne - Gypsy Lyrics

Young Vega fan, but love her and her words!

What i have always loved about suzanne vega's songs is the quality of her songwriting in story telling form that is never preachy but always thought provoking

Wow! Simply tremendous performance and writing!!

She is talking stupidly.

Always love,
Charlie
Perks of being a wallflower 🥺😩😍😣

incrível!

Mesmerizing. Thank you for posting.

This is a caress to the soul.

thank u Charlie.

Thank you Charlie 😍

In 1987, still in 2019, and in 2029 and in 2039 if the gods will happen to support the idea ...

Gracias Charlie

Hermosa voz suzanne vega!

Danke schön

I'm 15 and I love this song.❤

Magical

A jewel

unbelievably gorgeous song

Another great song . So timeless. Love it.

Intoxicating. What a voice. Sung so beautifully.

the best musical poet since Dylan

Thank you Charlie.

How did I miss this song some 30 years ago?

I was lucky enough to meet her in Canada in 1990. She did a concert on a floating stage in the St Lawrence seaway and signed an autograph. I was 17 and could've died happy that day. Love her so!

Thank you, Charlie. I hope you’re doing well.

Beautiful!

love always to Carlie

Only the 80s can sound like this

This was one of my favourite songs when expecting my lovely daughter...yes I'm that old too....

So very fine!

Angel from heaven.

Thanks for the upload. It's fantastic. One of my favorites songs.... Suzanne is forever!!

I was lucky to be at this gig at Londons Royal Albert Hall,  I was a hard rock,/ punk rock fan but just loved Vega...….. one of the best gigs I ever went to..... I wish id have written this song, not just because its just so bloody good but id have liked to have had the life experience that inspired it...…. a love affair in 4 minutes....  Suzanne is simply a brilliant songwriter.

This music will not be allowed under Sharia. Englands lights are dimming.

Spud ly nothing is allowed.in Muslimlandia!😅

Loved her first album and listened endlessly
This is a truly beautiful song that was the precursor to Solitude Standing
First time I've seen thus, thanks for posting

Ha. Me too. I listen to the same stuff over n over, then discover stuff like this that's always been half a step away

Raised on 70's rock, followed by Metal, then the Smiths/Cure scene, but Suzanne Fucking Destroys me. Bless you Suzanne, you shatter my heart and rebuild it and I'm a better person for it.. It's a strange power you have.

beautiful ... american poetry :-)

You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design

Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat

You are the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl's
Distracted by the women
With the dimples and the curls
By the pretty and the mischievous
By the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies
Who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh, hold me like a baby...

You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face
Denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter
And the laughing tale of the fool
The arranger of disorder
With your strange and simple rules
Yes now I've met me another spinner
Of strange and gauzy threads
With a long and slender body
And a bump upon the head

Oh, hold me like a baby...

With a long and slender body
And the sweetest softest hands
And we'll blow away forever soon
And go on to different lands
And please do not ever look for me
But with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song
Blowing by one day

Oh, hold me like a baby...

Россия любит Сьюзанн!

I love ❤ Suzanne Vega

Stunning. She played this live in London last year and talked about the English gypsy boy she'd fallen in love with (met up with him again in Liverpool decades later...) Such a beautiful story

Super song and singer. .

Love always,
Charlie

@steve powell he is the main character in the book " perks of being a wallflower. "

@playful pixel And Charlie has something to do with this song?

@steve powell yes, he uses this song in a mixtape he makes for a friend . and plus the perks of being a wallflower is also made into a movie. so its quite popular.

@playful pixel thanks

happy to have helped.

Hey, millennials, this is called a woman

Millennials prefer pick up artist trickery, lol. I'm sure Suzanne is immune against that. :D

you think no female singer songwriters have existed after 1987? guess what, there were shitty bands in the 80s too.

A beautiful song I never forget ... Endless thanks Suzanne !!!

Would that there was more of this music, not like the rubbish we hear today. I remember this song from when I first heard it in '86...still enthralled by it . Thanks for posting..

Beautiful , I think this is her best song

So under rated! Love her music! Left of Center is my favorite!

Love her song Headshots too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOIHcVAhJlA

I do love Suzanne: she's one of the most talented songwriter and singer and a very classy woman too. Suzanne and Dido (a sort of an English parallel to her) are my preferred female singer.

masterpiece

My favourite Suzanne Vega song. Beautiful :)

The real, authentic and lovely artist.
Underrated or no, who cares in todays'time.
Thanks for post and greetings from Serbia.

Are there no audience?

Probably doing a sound check prior to the concert.

way under appreciated female singer! shes simply amazing!

Love always, Charlie

A lovely song and lyric here

If the video is not available stop wasting our time!

Hey, don't have a go at me when I can't control that. The video is available on desktop PCs but is "Unavailable on some devices" meaning mobiles, set top boxes and the like. That policy is imposed by the copyright owner and YouTube, not me.

Thanks for helping me understand some of the interstices of the music biz. But above all, thanks for contributing this lovely video of a song and artist that have enthralled me for a decade or more, now. Yeah, I was late to this party.

I remember sitting in my hallway at Hampshire College with my hallmates and working this out on the guitar, spring of 1988. Later I took it with me to Girl Scout camp. I love this song.

Awesome :)

Someone I knew a long time ago.

thank you Charlie

Simply one of the most beautiful songs ever.

Very likely the best song of all-time.

+brokenbuzz And if it's not, then "The Queen and the Soldier" is.

So beautiful song so is her voice.

And herself actually. Such a lovely singer...

I've been a Suzanne Vega fan from the start (yes, I'm that old ; ). One of the most talented singer songwriters of the last 30 years. She's written and performed so many beautiful songs and this is one of my favorites!

I feel the same

Spot on !

YJ Music...it was my life in my twenties, 33 years ago!

I got bought up on this n so did my daughter who's now 22 and she took me to see her last year in Manchester, was magical

This song is beautiful and timeless. Thank you for sharing your soul.

First time I see this official video , thank you very much for posting . :-D

I performed this song this year at a memorial service for a friend. It's my favorite of many favorites of hers. Thanks for posting.

Suzanne is a high-quality musician. Thank you for these beautiful songs.
