Reviews
Suzanne Vegan viidennen studioalbumin lyriikat kertovat muun muassa äitiydestä (Birth-day, World Before Columbus), uskottomuuden houkutuksesta (Caramel, Stockings), kohtaamattomuudesta parisuhteessa (Honeymoon Suite) sekä rakkauden hiipumisesta (Casual Match). Popmusiikille tyypillisten teemojen lisäksi Suzanne Vega laulaa siitä miksi ja millaisen hautakiven haluaisi (Tombstone). Kappaleessa Lolita nuorta tyttöä kehotetaan itsensä arvostamiseen jatkuvan miehiltä haetun huomion show more sijaan: "Lolita, almost grown/ Lolita, go on home." show less
Fans of Suzanne Vega will find lyrics to many of her songs in this collection, and will also enjoy reading some of her poetry and other writings. I found it particularly interesting to see how, with slight changes to the language, a theme from a poem or story got worked into a song that I knew well.
