in 1987, I was with a woman one evening, and had this song on a mix-tape (cassette!) playing in the background. Not familiar with it, she was listening quietly and halfway through started crying, to full-blown sobs. Turned out she had a very abusive childhood and even years later, with a son of her own, it was still very raw to her. I wonder if now, 35 years on, probably a grandmother, she ever hears this and remembers that evening.
Speaking from a musician's view, I have always been very impressed with the structure of this song. It is so well produced. Great lead guitar which is so complimentary to the song. And of course, Suzanne Vega's voice is angelic. A good platform for the message of abuse. Way to go Suzanne!
Me. First time I heard this song was this same line up playing at DAR Constitution Hall...she opened with an a Capella Toms Diner and then they broke into this and just nailed it.
This is one of the most beautiful yet saddest songs ever, sang by one of the best singers with the sweetest voice & a most angelic face. Used to ask my then & now late beautiful daughter (RIP Princess) to sing it for me. At the time I didn't know &/or understand what the lyrics really meant. A sad & cry for help for abused children & all who suffer abuse in silence. Suzanne Vega is the G.O.A.T.
This is one of those rare songs that i can listen to over and over and over again. and never tire of it. Her voice takes my breath away, it's mesmerising. Then you have the superb musicians. What a song.
Whilst the lyrics are brilliant, the reality is that the instrumental of this song is just out of this world. One of the very best ever and extremely underrated.

Very few songs stand the test of time...this one does about as well as any. Luka sounds as innovative and fresh today as it did in 1987. Love the guitar solos!
First time I heard her voice was on a song called I’m in a Lonely Place Without You by the Smithereens.. I went to the album liner notes to see who she was.. about 2 months later is when I first heard Luka, and I said to myself I know that voice, lol
This is such a beautiful song in so many ways. I was a teenager in the 1980s when this song came out. I didn't appreciate its full meaning until a few years later when I "grew up." My wife and I enjoyed Ms. Vega when she performed at a county venue in Maryland a few years ago.

Nothing but positivity from me. I love Suzanne Vega's music and this song 'Luka' won a Grammy award. One of my favourite songs of the 1980's. Here she's performing 'Luka' on Wogan. I watched Suzanne Vega live with June on 21st of June 2007 at the New Tyne Theatre, Newcastle. A fantastic concert.
I was abused as a child. When I was around 8 or 9 I decided I wouldn't cry no matter how much it hurt, This seemed to make the beatings worse. But I never cried in front of my father. At 15 I ran away for good.
I loved this song as a kid, it's only now that I'm older and wiser that l understand what the song is about and how powerful the words are. I have the most respect for anyone in this situation that finds the strength to get away. I really hope that things are better for you now
The hardest thing I ever had to overcome(except maybe quitting smoking😁) was the desire to spank my boy. Growing up in a society where it was the done thing to apply the strap I never could see the point of it when all it did was make me angry. I even did stuff KNOWING I was gonna get a hiding! ....I smacked my son once on a padded backside and the look he gave me reminded me of how I used to feel. The cycle has to stop somewhere and frankly he made me a better person figuring out alternatives....like waterboarding😳
I am 55 years old, I am autistic and this song describes my childhood, it speaks to me. Too quiet, too passive, never in the right place, always annoying, but above all not crying, not screaming, being invisible, trying to no longer exist Every day was a victory, wait for the next day, just survive.
prince adored that song !!! he gave his props to Susan way back in the 80s Talk about “praise from Caesar.” Suzanne Vega recently posted an unearthed letter she received from Prince on Facebook, and it’s a doozy. “Dearest Suzanne,” the letter begins. “Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell you all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 u.” (“Luka” was released in 1987 and reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. It remains her highest-charting song in the U.S. and earned nominations for record of the year, song of the year and best female pop vocal performance at the 1988 Grammy Awards.)
Brian Swezey Well, isn´t it always so, that every new generation believes, that the "music" they hear in their "teens" is the only real music ever made. And everyting else is just worse? My "teens" were between 1968 and 1974, so most rock music after mid 70s means very little to me. Now I am more into Jazz, folk, world and indeed more accoustic music like this.
@Kurt.Dk-55 I understand what you're saying,and i'm a lot younger that you sir,but to be fair,most of the things we have today suck big time or are a shaddy remake of what was made in the past.
Suzanne you are the best! I have this album. One of my favourites. You are such a warm person its easy to see by your Lyrics, your face tells so much when you sing. You really feel it! Beautiful. Burton Trent
This is from the 'Wogan' show in 1987 (I remember recording it on VHS)! The other guest is the legendary broadcaster and cricket commentator Brian Johnston. The musicians are miming (as was the BBC way back then), but I have seen Suzanne Vega sing this live many times, and she is one of those rare artists that sound better live than on record.
Suzanne Vega, one of my all time favorite albums, so many beautiful songs, The queen and the soldier, Small blue thing, Freeze tag, Marlena on the wall, all brilliant.
Lovely music, a deeply sad story. I almost did not understand it when it was released back in the 80's, I only loved the music. Visiting it back now is great. Love Suzanne for this amazing great song.
Wow now yes this song bring's back so many memory's I heard this song when I was in my early twenty's and got it on single record which I still have as many other song's that were great back then in the 80'es had a tear reading some of the comments.
Terrific songwriter and still has one of the most seductive voices in music. This is a great song and when she sings 99 Fahrenheit degrees and Caramel I melt into my chair.
I was only in elementary school when this song came out and was strangely drawn to it even though I didn't know fully understand what it meant. Grew up in an abusive home, and now I know why I was drawn to the lyrics.
Still listening to Suzanne periodically. I saw her in an up-close and personal concert at The Boathouse in Norfolk some years ago. Best acoustic concert I ever heard. I attended with a college buddy of hers so we got to chat with her for a while afterwards. That was a nice bonus to a great concert.
This song makes me cry every time. Child abuse is horrible every time and always and everywhere. People who abuse children are cowards and need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
Growing up in the 60’s there were those of us who got beat by their mothers and there were those who got hit by their fathers.I was beat by Both and I’m not complaining
I work in a Child Abuse Investigation Unit, this song has so much meaning for my colleagues and me. The lyrics read so much like so many of our cases. We work closely with Children's Services and we each have about 70 cases on the go at any time. I've been doing the job for over 15 years and it can be very rewarding, it can also be very stressful and probably contributed to my heart attack and subsequent by pass surgery 18 months ago. Back at work now and still motivated. I could have retired 3 years ago at 60, I may well go on to 65.
QUE MARAVILLOSA CANCION Y VOZ!!! CUANTOS/AS LUKA HAY EN EL MUNDO QE SUFREN VIOLENCIA INTRAFAMILIAR Y ABANDONO PIDO POR ELLOS QE DIOS NO LES ABANDONE Y AYUDE ...SIEMPRE HAY GENTE DE BUEN CORAZON QE DIOS LOS BENDIGA TODOS LOS DIAS TODOS LOS DIAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR ESTA BELLISIMA CANCION
Não canso de ouvir estas maravilhas de canções Pena que isso não acontece mais nos dias atuais Aos 58 anos me emocionado ao ouvir estas do meu tempo 👏👏👏👏👏
This is a good song!!! An the biggest thing is that she sang about domestic abuse.!!! That was something back in the 70s an 80s that wasn't talked about but she did... Thankyou for doing it.....
Natalie Merchant; 10,000 Maniacs." Look at What They Did" 'In My Tribe', equally as powerful! The lyrics and music share a common bond of which so many people "so-called" fans couldn't tell you the meanings.
Much thanks to the composer of this beautiful melody-song. Even so too to the text-writer and the great Interpretation from Susanne Wega. I (*1960) love this heavy Song to hear everytime anymore again. Best health to everybody from Kassel (Central Germany)😁

Yes, its makes me think how come this melody and chords didn't get written sooner.
One of my favourite songs from the 80's. Still going strong in 2023.
Just heard the Spanish version of this song for the first time ,worth a listen
Sadly the song may be popular for a long time to come.
Its a good song

@@thisismonitor4099 Thank you.
Her aura of innocence is mesmerizing. She's childlike, and it makes the song even more moving.
Yes, i thought same...
But, she stays with sad look, when is singer this song. I think what is because of Lyrics of song.
I listen that emotional song Now , thanks to the technology , Excellent song, singer and composer (I know is the same)👏🏼👏🏼
absolutely
This is one of those rare songs that i can listen to over and over and over again. and never tire of it. Her voice takes my breath away, it's mesmerising.
Then you have the superb musicians. What a song.
I was a child abuse investigator, in NYC. My very first case was in front of Judge Judy, of TV. The song still makes me cry, after all these years.
Lots of people are still listening! Ms Vega is an amazing and talented singer and songwriter! I love her!
Whilst the lyrics are brilliant, the reality is that the instrumental of this song is just out of this world. One of the very best ever and extremely underrated.
She doesn't need auto tune.. her voice in the original song is the voice she used when singing live. And that's fantastic!! 💖💖💖
auto tune did not exist in those days
@@cowboys360 sure it did
@@cowboys360 it did. it was used by avant-garde and experimental artists.
its playback
@@PATBATEMAN187 maybe? But her voice live is VERY close to what she sounds like on the record.
MONSTER HIT!!! It's one of those songs when I heard it I knew it was a classic. Classics don't fade away but stay in memory.
One of my favourites when I was small. I didn't know at the time it was about a child being beaten though.
Of course
@@pauljordan4452 Eu, já tinha ouvido falar, já na época! Linda música, apesar de ser triste! Fez muito sucesso aqui no Brasil em 1988.
Who’s still listening to this in 2020. ❤️
80’s will ever prevail...
It doesn't sound like like an 80's song at all, so fresh sound
very pretty girl, attactive voice 💖💞💝💟
I am for sure.
❤️ i love it still

This was such a huge hit in 1987. It sounds great even today.
Very few songs stand the test of time...this one does about as well as any. Luka sounds as innovative and fresh today as it did in 1987. Love the guitar solos!
She has a great voice
First time I heard her voice was on a song called I’m in a Lonely Place Without You by the Smithereens.. I went to the album liner notes to see who she was.. about 2 months later is when I first heard Luka, and I said to myself I know that voice, lol
Born in 82 and remember this song on the radio. I remember thinking how beautifully sad she sounded.
Me too
Yes it's like she is Luka very moving song and she sings it beautifully ❤
This song breaks my heart. It's very telling, Highlighting the help abused women need. My mother was one.
Not just women, but children and men.
It's about an abused child, though that is often a part of women being abused as well.
It's only a song. About nothing
It's about a little boy abused by his parents.
@@ashleyhall2359 you must be blind or really insensitive to what this about. You reckon all songs are just songs about nothing? How utterly bizarre.
Do not regret growing older, It’s a privilege denied to many ...🙏
So true ❤️
Not true at all
A wise man in his eighties was asked how it felt growing older.
He answered: "Wonderful, especially when you consider the alternative".
But nostalgia and loneliness are disgusting poisons making you envying people that are denied that privilege

So many poor little Lukas in this world. Thanks to my mum and dad for being such loving parents. I miss you both so much :-(
So great o hear you speak well of your parents!

You were definitely blessed. I didn't have that growing up.

Suzanne is a pure angel. I love her and get goose bumps listening to Luka. Bobby
This should of went to #1 in America! Such a powerful song that gives me tears to this Day!
How wonderfull was to be young in the 1980's!!
Her voice is so angelic...beautiful
She is great
Yeah the song never gets old

Belle chanson, belle voix, belle musique, bon rythme. J'ai écouté cette chanson quand j'étais en France à Toulouse. Spécial Suzanne. 👍💋💋
prince adored that song !!! he gave his props to Susan way back in the 80s
Talk about “praise from Caesar.”
Suzanne Vega recently posted an unearthed letter she received from Prince on Facebook, and it’s a doozy.
“Dearest
Suzanne,” the letter begins. “Luka is the most compelling piece of
music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell you all the
things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 u.”
(“Luka” was released in 1987 and reached number 3 on the Billboard
Hot 100. It remains her highest-charting song in the U.S. and earned
nominations for record of the year, song of the year and best female pop
vocal performance at the 1988 Grammy Awards.)
Haven't heard this in years. So many good songs I forgot about. I lived during the best years in music not like crap of today.
Brian Swezey Well, isn´t it always so, that every new generation believes, that the "music" they hear in their "teens" is the only real music ever made. And everyting else is just worse?

Yes indeed “Crap of today” for sure.
If you truly like music, then it's worth listening to all styles, new and old. Who knows, you may even discover you like some of it.
Totally agree with you !!!
The 80's are the best!!!
@Kurt.Dk-55 I understand what you're saying,and i'm a lot younger that you sir,but to be fair,most of the things we have today suck big time or are a shaddy remake of what was made in the past.

This song was revolutionary when it came out and still is today 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yeah... child abuse is not a usual topic u.u It should be more important, that's why I love this song.
... ist was and is a great song, but not revolutionary ...

It's too bad that it's not live, it's the studio version of the song. If you look, there are no cables on the stage.
Charles Knutzen Yeah, That is so obvious to anyone watching this that many overlook it.
I was 16 when I first heard this in 1988 as a sophomore in HS, now I'm 49 here in July 2021 still loving it, such a sad and beautiful song.
