Vega, Suzanne - Solitude Standing Lyrics






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

  31. C.... M....

    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.

  32. H.... !....

    Has SV ever made a bad record? Not one song i can think of! Love the gentle voice, never harshz shouting or screaming, beautiful!

  33. S.... ....

    Wonderful Song, awkward music video - espacially the dumb 80s-like band in the background -.-

  34. T.... ....

    It's been the longest time since I've heard this. Ah, the memories it brings back.

  35. M.... H....

  38. M.... V....

    Suzanne is a modern day poet. Beautiful poetry to music.

    Probably my favorite of the entire album. Loved Suzanne as a little girl, love her as a grown up woman. Such a beautiful voice!

  40. �.... �....

    Она была в MINSK BELARUS.

  41. F.... ....

    perfeck sound

  42. B.... C....

    I’ve always loved Suzanne Vega, back from when my roommate brought home her first album. Makes me want to dig out all of her other albums and make a mix CD!

  53. V.... 1....

    like from 2019!

  54. M.... ....

    One of the greatest songs about the power of being alone. I understand it so much better now, than when it first came out.

  55. T.... G....

    It’s a nice song. No theatrics, an uninteresting vocal style bit isn’t she emblematic of women pre-Madonna? I speak as a woman but didn’t we need Madonna to finally propel women into pop royalty along with the men who occupied that post for so long.

  56. S.... M....

    Pehli baar mile he (saajan) is copied from this song +desimegamind

  57. C.... B....

  77. L.... G....

    We all are missing our Childhood memories, The innocence we had,Sense Freedom we had.

    I had very less friends so

    I used to spend my most of the time with Insects and Plants for Hours until my Mom calls me for the food.


    Hey!! Let's share some of our memories it could be anything. Let's do it.
    😄

  78. a.... ....

    A being known as a "Wife-Boss"! Most never talk about such things. I do. A proper Wife is both Flower & Flame. A balanced Power. If she's all flower, it won't work, if she's all flame, I'll run like hell! She must be both life elements!!

  79. M.... P....

    2019? Anyone

  80. l.... ....

    Beautiful words, too. Now I can understand them...

  81. V.... P....

    Pehli bar mile hai milte hi Bollywood se Nafrat ho gayi..... 😂

  82. p.... s....

    Ohh my freeking god , why didn't i heard this song before

  83. A.... !....

    Am I the only one who is listening this song in 2019

    A.... !....

    no i was listening her box cds 8 months ago

  84. n.... &....

    I always heard Luka in the radio when boy, and never felt any special of that song at all.. but now just really cannot stop listening Suzanne.. Solitude Standing have become into my favorite song among so great music she did... I would liked to pay attention to Suzanne Vega before!!

  85. m.... ....

    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...

  86. S.... S....

    Awesome 😁😁😁

  87. T.... M....

    I had forgotten how awesome she is.

  88. p.... a....

    GREAT TALENT

  89. S.... A....

    It's a Cute Boi...

  90. U.... ....

    That arpeggio sequence is absolutely beautiful..

  91. n.... n....

    We need to bring back mullets

  92. R.... S....

    2019? Anyone? 🤦🏻‍♂️

  93. A.... R....

    good point Moore. she's a minstrel, and not a diva. ¡viva la vega!

  94. D.... B....

    The band is over-energetic given the song

  95. s.... e....

    Wunderful Music! And she´s got so beautiful eyes, a super-model making super-music!
