Suzanne Vega - "Small Blue Thing"

Suzanne Nadine Vega is an American singer-songwriter, musician and record producer, best known for her eclectic folk-inspired music.

Vega's music career spans more than 30 years. She came to prominence in the mid 1980s, releasing four singles that entered the Top 40 charts in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s, including "Marlene on the Wall", "Left of Center", "Luka" and "No Cheap Thrill". "Tom's Diner," which was originally released as an a cappella recording on Vega's second album, Solitude Standing, was remixed in 1990 as a dance track by English electronic duo DNA with Vega as featured artist, and it became a Top 10 hit in over five countries. The song was used as a test during the creation of the MP3 format.

Vega has released nine studio albums to date, the latest of which is Lover, Beloved: Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers, released in 2016.

Today, like a small bruised thing, I choose Suzanne Vega's "Small Blue Thing" as my, get through it, only way out is through, keep swimming, song for a, break the blue, lift the light, lose the losses, Tuesday.
