“Tom’s Diner” is an a cappella pop song written in 1981 by American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega. It was first released as a track on the January 1984 issue of Fast Folk Musical Magazine[1]. The first time it was featured on any of her own studio albums was as the first track of her own Solitude Standing album in 1987. It was not until the a cappella track was used as the basis for a popular remix by the British group The DNA Disciples, in 1990 that the song became a popular hit. The 1991 release Tom’s Album includes the DNA version as well as cover versions by such artists as After One, (Chicago-based band) Canasta, and “Bingo Hand Job” (a/k/a R.E.M. and Billy Bragg).

I love this version (the acapella one on Solitude Standing)... the radio remix by DNA is quite nice, but the original showcases Suzanne's voice, and is a great way to start the album. It's really calming, too.

this is not from solitude standing...the version there has no words or music. I hate when things are wrong on here...This is by DNA.

Ah, this is the original. It was edited for a mainstream audience. Shame these things have to happen for someone to like things.

Come to think of it, I've never listened to the lyrics of this song. I've always been preoccupied with the beat!

Okay, where's the backbeat, and the bells at the cathedral part? This version's awful.
