@[BruceTheBoss:54829] Yes! Just visited the Badlands in August with my wife and two 20-something kids. Had this song on repeat. That was special. |

| Suzanne Vega – In Liverpool Lyrics
| 2 years ago

@[seventyx7:46670] I saw Suzanne Vega in concert last night and she told the story about this song. This is pretty much right. It is a sequel to Gypsy, which was about a boy from Liverpool who she knew when both were working at different summer camps in the Adirondacks, in the U.S. They met at a bar where counselors would go at night and she had a relationship with him - for 6 weeks, as she said. She wrote Gypsy immediately following and this some years later, when she was in Liverpool, thinking about him. She was also reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame at the time (or had just read it) - hence that bit. She told a funny story about how they connected later - the guy's girlfriend couldn't believe he had once dated Suzanne Vega - and how they now still stay in touch, as friends. She played Gypsy then this, back to back. Good stuff. |
