Search - Suzanne Vega :: Close Up 3: States of Being

2011 release, the third installment in the singer/songwriter's four-part series which finds her acoustically reinterpreting portions of her back catalog. States Of Being has Suzanne revisiting her most haunting songs. Suzanne used to call these the Mental Health songs. They express a state of mind, but also more than that; Suzanne says, they are descriptions of a place deep inside. Anyone can feel like the narrator in 'Penitent', or 'Cracking', depending on your mood. Vol. 3 also includes a brand new song, a collaboration with Duncan Sheik from Suzanne's upcoming play, Carson McCullers Talks About Love. Cooking Vinyl.
