A little bit about the song

Lastly, let's talk about the song itself a little bit. Unlike young German bands, Suzanne Vega hardly needs an introduction. A songwriter and performer, as well as a talented guitarist - today this woman is called "the mother of MP3s."! And deservedly so. Vega used this format as a test for encoding music files "Tom's Diner.. But this composition is quite interesting not only that.

No one really knows when the hit song about "Tom's Diner" was written: some believe it was written in 1981-мand others in 1982-м. But it's not that big a deal. The dripping composition was the biggest breakthrough in Suzanne's career! And the fact that modern artists do their own covers once again confirms this.

Curious fact: the lyrics were originally supposed to be accompanied by a piano! But due to the fact that Vega was not in an easy relationship with this instrument, this idea had to be abandoned. And so it was a cappella hit!
