@FelixCloud: I don't even know where to begin... Pretty much everything you said is wrong... UGH! The song is about a BOY named Luka. It is about child abuse (physical) and it is completely fictional - made up - by singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega. There, now you know the facts, and can you can now say that you learned something today. |

Yeah... Well, unfortunately you are wrong about this song's interpretation/meaning.... The song is about a BOY named Luka, who is physically abused by his caretakers (probably his parents, but the song does not specify). It is a completely fictional song, based upon singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega's own statement. |

How unfortunate. No doubt she's dead. :-( It's now 7 years later since your post. That means Heather has been gone for a decade + now. |

Were you actually "abused" or were you just beaten when you misbehaved? I ask, because as a child, I too got my ass-tanned every now and again when I misbehaved, and I never considered it abuse. Albeit, it may have been borderline at times, but in retrospect, it was always justified. Just sayin'... |

@Kake99:
Look up the name Luka. You are incorrect. Luka IS a MALE name, and NOT a FEMALE name. Please educate yourself before making statements that are untrue. |

1.) This song is about child abuse (physical).
2.) Luka is a MALE name, not female. Luka is also known as: Luke when translated into an "English" version of the name.
3.) If anyone on here bothered to do their research (which apparently many of you clearly haven't, based upon the grossly incorrect comments on here)... then you would know that Luka is a male. This song is NOT about a female, nor is it about spousal abuse.
I find it amazing how people so often twist the meanings of things, such as words, and even entire songs! Perhaps in this instance, this occurred because the song is sung by a soft-voiced woman, thus people automatically assume that the song is about a woman?
It's quite strange and disturbing how some people's minds work, and how presumptuous people can be.
The singer/songwriter, Suzanne Vega, stated in an interview that the song "Luka" is a fictional (fake, untrue, made up) song, based upon only the name of a real life little boy that she once knew in her younger days, named Luka. Suzanne recalled that Luka seemed a little different and somewhat awkward around the other children that he played with. She did not believe that the real life Luka was a victim of any kind of abuse, that he was just a socially awkward child.
In simplest form, the song "Luka" is about a little boy that is periodically abused/beaten by his caretakers. Nothing more, nothing less. |
