Random Track of the Day
Monday, October 3 2011
Well, it would have been nice if the random-o-meter had managed to pick out a seventies track, but that would have been stretching it a bit, no? As it happens, it's gone for a track from Suzanne Vega's excellent “Solitude standing”, a great little track called “In the eye”.
In the eye --- Suzanne Vega --- from "Solitude standing" on A&M
A tough and brave little song, where Suzanne warns her assailant that even if he kills her, she's still going to look him in the eye, and stay in his memory. A real “go ahead and try if you're hard enough” sort of idea, with a fastish, rocky tune behind it. One of many different styles and themes on this super album: it's more than just “Tom's diner”, you know!
