A song by Suzanne Vega brilliantly written and brilliantly poignant, and though Kasey would no doubt understand the song, she's completely annihilated the message. The blind man... fine, he's metaphoric of people choosing to not see, etc, but it's such a rubbish, done to death bit of imagery. Kasey this is a great STORY by a great STORYWRITER... but it's become a 1995 Ginblossoms clip instead. Great song, sung well, slaughtered in the video.
@illusionsfan1 Obviously this is only my interpretation I could be entirely wrong but I believe he's not actually "Luka" (which I assume is how you've interpreted the clip)
@johnbonnell I believe the blind man is more a symbolism of those who sort of merely see but do nothing about abusive cases whether it's because they can't or because they choose not too. The kids toys are most likely more the evidence of something has happened so the blind man touching this is actually sort of "seeing" this evidence yet he's not (in his case it's cause he actually CAN'T see it) but in most everyday circumstances it's because "we" choose NOT to. If that makes sense?
Love Kasey, but this video is sooo stupid and distracting....what's with the blind dude? haha, and when does his father start hitting him, or is that all implied to be the past...so esoteric. Ooh. I kid, it's just dumb.
I loved this cover even though I had never heard the original, I think that Kasey was great as usual and I understand that everyone has their own opinions so I won't say too much in regards to the comments stating that Kasey looked uncomfortable singing this song, well she has been through abuse before as stated in her autobiography. Love you Kasey :)
Ugh, a beautiful song, totally butchered.

@illusionsfan1 I think that gives them too much credit. I wouldn't presume to read that much into it.
