Music Video Of The Day: In Liverpool by Suzanne Vega (1992, directed by Howard Greenhaigh)

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

In this song from her 1992 album, 99.9F°, Suzanne Vega sings about a lost relationship.  Apparently, this song was inspired by a relationship that Vega actually had with someone who from Liverpool.  He and Vega met in America when she was 18 and they fell in love, just for their relationship to end when he had to return to his home.

Today, this song makes me think of my friends and family in the UK and how I look forward to someday getting to see them again.

This video was directed by Howard Greenhaigh.  Greenhaigh has several videos to his name but the one he’s probably best known for is Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun.

Enjoy!

Music Video Of The Day: Blood Makes Noise by Suzanne Vega (1992, directed by Nico Beyer)

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

Blood Makes Noise was the 2nd single to be released from Suzanne Vega’s underrated 1992 album, 99.9F°.  Vega is a performer that deserved to be a bigger star than she was.  If you’re the right age, you remember Tom’s Diner but otherwise, I don’t feel like she ever got the type of success and recognition that she really deserved.

This video was directed by Nico Beyer, a German director who has worked extensively in advertising and who also directed music videos for The Verve, The Pet Shop Boys, They Might Be Giants, and others.
