"Tom's Diner" was included twice on the album with its a cappella vocal as the first track and its instrumental version as the last track.
"Night Vision" was inspired by the poem "Juan Gris" by Paul Eluard.
"Calypso" is based on the Odyssey, namely the part in which Calypso is forced to let Odysseus go.
"Gypsy" is mentioned in the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, in which the main character Charlie includes it on one of his mixtapes.
Vega once stated she wrote "Gypsy" when she was only 18 years old (which would be 1977) which means the song was written 10 years before it was first released.
Tom’s Diner was the song used to test prototype Mp3 compression software.
Solitude Standing is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega, released on April 1, 1987, by A&M Records. It is the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed album of Vega's, being certified Platinum in the US and reaching number 11 on the Billboard 200.
