Suzanne Vega "Luka" Live

[artonic56]

I haven't listened to her for at least twenty years. I don't know what made me search her. I'd forgotten how much I love her voice and song writing. I have her first few albums on vinyl and saw her perform at Goucher College in Towson, Maryland. I still know all the words of all the songs by heart, like second nature. Went to iTunes and sampled some of her later stuff and like that too. I have to do some downloading. She has such a unique voice and was the first of her kind and one of the first

Low tuning How F-n Smart

[MrRover3500S]

I'm a gun totin' american V8 drivin' beer swillin' southern white male...how come I like her so much?

[alunas333]

remember when?

[makemarker]

What a woman, I always loved her style, she makes no big fuss but manages to entertain on a grand scale.

[ExpressivePugilist]

I miss this kind of performance... Forget all the flash and style of today's popsters. This is what music is about!

[panxosolis]

Beautiful

[Ronbo710]

Only Suzanne Vega could make such a Beautiful song about such a tragic subject. Thank You Dear Lady ...

[razor666666]

Great song!

[crazyhabenero]

I make my kids sing this song during Family Karaoke night. If they don't get the lyrics EXACTLY right, I smack them in the f-ing face

[catalyst1029]

This was the first time I heard this song and it actually made me very emotional. She's an amazing artist.

[mustangleader47]

She has a remarkable singer with a very pleasant voice. And her guitar skill is unbelievable. This video her singing and playing the guitar is truly amazing.  For those who over analyze the song is missing the beauty of her skills. Right on SV!!

[alexneuville]

Salut et je m'apelle Alexis, j'ai 13 ans et j'ai vu aujourd'hui (le 11 octobre 2011) en EURO cette magnifique chanson, alors franchement BRAVO !

[Jez2008UK]

I have a small child who is 8, and I always vowed as a parent to never hit him. And I never have, nor will.

To think of all those children who get hit by their parents, while listening to this beautiful voice singing this song makes me very tearful.

[ollywood123]

The bass in the beginning, aaaawesome!

[bwatson1234]

Probably the worst song from the 80's

[honduranwolf]

This song bring tears to my eyes......

[hospitalfood1074]

[rosenkranz007]

@davesecx

Exactly.

[radovanec]

4 people should go out and get a life...

[mskells75]

When that song came up she brought awareness to child abuse and neglect. It still touches the heart. I love you Suzanne you will always rock!

[COREYA73]

[andreasjacke]

She is on of the best Songwriters. I always think at Virginia Woolf - don't know why --- Great Performance!!!

[zoleethegreat]

an brilliant,,,because this sound is done.

[Wikinger0502]

It´s a amazing song and describes one of the worst crime in our social life.

[algierzgear]

she still lives on the 2nd floor!

[mydayri]

So schön <3 ich liebe dieses Lied einfach =)

[Marion678]

Love that song.

Though, isn't it weird the way she plays the guitar ? she doesn't use her last fingers to play the thinner chords. Maybe it's because she uses a thumb pick....

[dljone9]

@Marion678 not weird at all, that's normally the way you'd finger barre chords when using a capo

[Marion678]

@dljone9 No, I meant the right hand

[albedopuls]

La musique, la voix, la femme, tout est beau ! MERCI

[Ryunam]

This is perfect.

[edersonronaldowagner]

verry goodddd

[Fenstrat62]

A beautiful song but one that speaks of child abuse and domestic violence. Wonderful to listen to but hard to hear.....do you understand?

[MickaDom1]

love this song!! but it´s sad... like: they only hit untill u cry...

[OutLookSkateboards]

perfect!!!

[bald33sh]

:-)

[DAWVL]

This song is legendary, it's so beaitiful!

[oyet23garcia]

AmAzinG VoiCE !

[KamilSMusic]

Great song. Where did this kind of music disappear?

[Jpltb]

i love this song

[Anjeje1]

Es una canción bella y desoladora al mismo tiempo. I knew its about domestic abuse to a child who is scared to talk about it. Hace 20-30 años la escuchaba en la radio, y sigue teniendo igual o más fuerza.

[stangfever04]

this is probably the best unplugged version i have heard of any song,guitar and bass guitar was crisp and clear and her voice excellent.

[goldhat3]

Love this version, thanks for posting.

[Fetchcatlover]

I love this song <3 It's sad story and she sings it beutiful

[rogerpan61]

I thank God that I Suzanne belongs to my generation, the 80's have its share of great musicians with lots of talents, not the kind of crap youth listen to today...Viva Suzanne Vega!

[luciiinek51]

That sure is, but if you train very hard and learn it by heart, than you play automatically and can concentrate on singing.:)

[sagger93]

SHE IS AMAZING!

The thing she doing on the guitar is really hard to do at the same time as you sing!

[dennisjonkristensen]

@sagger93 Sure. She can sing. Not like all the others that use computers to make there voices better

[DeathBat12051992]

@thallart yes it is. have you ever tried?

[theboywhocantollie]

recently did a drama performance for gcse based on the lyrics of this song. its so powerful and emotional. for all you who dont know its about domestic abuse to a child who is scared to talk about it.

[g8mao]

just can't stop loving it!

[shireeoz]

Love this clip! I have my 8 week old son, Luka, lieing in my lap listening to this too. Suzy has a fantastic voice that I can listen to for hours....

[nino20cmtrs]

q bella me gustaria saber ms de ella

[boogiman240]

Suzanne is awesome. Her voice hasn't changed in years. Sounds just like her album version. That is rare nowadays

[jockwenn]

Beautiful performance.Total class. A diamond in an unfortunate world of talentless crap.Thank you.

[999klesk]

@jockwenn well said. In a world where everybody can make a record, with out any talent at all, is nice to hear a song thats have a message and a good melody. Just a shame she didnt got more credit for her talent...

[kevleisa]

@jockwenn your so right i hope my comment wasnt to much of a copy of yours just wanted to be more profound regards kev

[Robikitara]

great song!!!

[DudnikA]

Amazing! Such a beautiful song! It seems that her voice kinda stayed the same after so many years. Awesome!
