This is as powerful as the day I first heard it. Tender and gentle, with gut-punch lyrics. It's such a contrast. There are songs like this that I just don't want to end.
My name is Luka I live on the second floor I live upstairs from you Yes I think you've seen me before If you hear something late at night Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight Just don't ask me what it was Just don't ask me what it was Just don't ask me what it was I think it's because I'm clumsy I try not to talk too loud Maybe it's because I'm crazy I try not to act too proud They only hit until you cry After that you don't ask why You just don't argue anymore You just don't argue anymore You just don't argue anymore Yes, I think I'm okay I walked into the door again If you ask that's what I'll say And it's not your business anyway I guess I'd like to be alone With nothing broken, nothing thrown Just don't ask me how I am Just don't ask me how I am Just don't
Awesome! One of the best singers of the 80s till today! Love this song from the moment when I heard it the first time in my life as a young teenager in 1987.
I've never gotten tired of hearing this song. It came out when I was a teenager and it spoke to me. Now that I'm older I think it resonates for me even more now. I saw her live last year and she was brilliant.
Quién iba a imaginar que tan melodiosa y angelical voz iba a exponer el maltrato infantil? Muchos la corearon sin saber su significado, eso es obra de tener un maravilloso sentimiento al cantar❤ ¡Grande Vega!🎉
This song is a gift to those of us who carry the scars of a childhood filled with fear and violence. I remember being threatened by my abuser to tell the PhysEd teacher that I'd fallen down the stairs as my 9-year-old body was covered with bruises. Years later I learned what a common and pathetic cliche that excuse was, and that many others had survived similar upbringings. I'm grateful for songs like this one, and Alive by Sia, that are a balm to us.
Great song! Suzanne I've always followed you. This song reminds of a middle schooler, Vaughan, that I mentored last year and now he's gone (he left school). His mom was a mess and the poor little dude had to fend for himself. Thank you for writing this very poignant and important song.
Oh! A song that tells a story and that story happens in real life. It's a cute song and this version is wonderful. Thank you for sharing that story with me, Greetings!

The ONLY song that equals Fast Car. Powerful and is absolutely relatable to so many folks…

That's right ... In my case, it takes me back to my teens and high school days
It’s a horrible song
What a beautiful voice to such a sad reality. She has such a great soul. We love your music. Listening from Fl.

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Yes, I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't
Thanks Jonathan..!

As much as I love this song and electric guitars, it adds nothing to this amazing song.
That's right, I agree with you.
