One of the most beautiful song I ever heard in my life, with a beautiful singer too.

Yes, it's about child abuse. Suzanne Vega has also said that she kept the lyrics vague enough so that it could be about a battered spouse as well. Luka could be a child, woman or man.

does it matter if it's about child or spousal abuse...both are awful and this song has made people empathise with the protagonist's point of view and created awareness! Great song

If you have ever read any of Suzanne Vega's interviews you would know what Suzanne said; "Luka was a boy I used to see in my old neighborhood, although it's not necessarily about him. It is his name, I did get his character, but this is not really the situation that he was in, and actually it could be about almost anybody who has been abused in some way." She even states it's not necessarily about the boy, but leaves it up to the interpretation of the listener...So I guess we are both right.



"You just don't argue anymore." and "I walked into the door again, if you ask that's what I'll say".... clearly she is talking about Spousal abuse, not child abuse. Just my opinion..:-)

@mccloud55 If you have ever seen the official video of the song, you would know it's about child abuse. The young boy in the video is Luka.
