A beautiful song with an important but sad message. My mother used to make fun of this song but, God rest her soul, she didnt get what the song was about.
By the time I heard this song for the first time and I got to the lyrics (as English is not my mother languaje) it filled an empty space in my soul, my mother used to argue with his boyfriend a lot, and sometimes I wasn't safe either... so true.
Am i the only one who sings this every time Modric hits a 30 yarded high? seriously he looks like he was the kid in this video all grown up. But, that's O.K. GO SPURS
Luka can be a girl's name as well as a boy's name, and I always thought this song was about a battered wife or female partner. Everything in it could apply equally to either child abuse or partner/domestic abuse. I wonder if this is intentional? Either way, it's a great (and chilling) song.
I remember when this song came out...I couldnt listen to it....it was the song of my life....now I am grown and it reminds me of days gone by and healing that took place. Sad how many people see or hear children being abused, and never ever bother to report it or put a stop to it. For years I was angry at every one I grew up with in my neighborhood, because no one bothered to help.
Actually, it is about child physical abuse, not sexual abuse. Part of the lyrics makes mention of the boy making up an excuse that he walked into the door again, and that's how he got his injuries.
This is back in the days of cassettes and VHS. Most anything old is old quality as they didn't have digital computerized recording. Just magnetic tape recording which degrades over time. Digitizing preserves the quality as it was at the time of putting it back on the computer. Remastered CD's do offer the cleanest sound for old music. This video appears to be ripped from a VHS recording.
"This is one of the first songs about child abuse. Awesome song. "
This was the first to be a big hit. The Beach Boys' "In My Room" is also reputed to be about child abuse (Brian Wilson was abused by his father, Murray).
you can bet where were many luka's born after this. it still makes me sad to hear it even now. and what a HUGE HIT IT WAS! i guess the 80's is my 60's.
Till this day, I still disagree with parents intentionally hurting their child just to vent their anger or for whatever. The child never learn why that way, just fears.
@Hornet85 The child that lives with violence grows up violent. Unless they learn "The Buck Stops Here" Sadly most do not. God damn their parents. Why breed if you don't want to love your precious children. From New Zealand. ONE LOVE. Elizabeth5830.
@Elizabeth5830 Sometimes children aren't hurt directly. Sometimes we don't grow up violent. But it takes a strong effort to realize that what you've seen is not how things are.
When this song came out, I was in grade 10. I was 15. Back then I just thought the melody was cool and I thought Suzanne Vega was cute. Now that I am older with a 12 year old boy and a 9 year old girl of my own, this song almost brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it.
@vegas2008 I was given my first blowjob by your mother and I got my last one from you.Suzanne Vaga said that you ate her pussy a few times as well so maybe you should change your name to Luka.
I used to like this song, but I just didn't get the message nowadays that I Know it makes me really sad evertyme I hear it... Great Song!!!!
