The Queen and the Soldier - Suzanne Vega (1985)

Vega's music is definitely not pop oriented even though she had hits with Luka and to a lesser extent with Tom's Diner. She leans heavily in the folk tradition of the sixties and I have enjoyed all her work however, some more some less and my head was turned around with Luka too. This song I choose from all her work as the one I would like to listen over and over even though Luka is immensely catchy. I would be unhappy to have to leave behind any of her music for my deserted island.
