Luka chords by Suzanne Vega

"Luka" is a song written and performed by Suzanne Vega. It was released as a single in 1987 and first featured on Vega's album, "Solitude Standing". The lyrics of the song deal with the issue of child abuse - about a child called Luka, who is unable to talk about the abuse he is suffering. According to Song Facts, Vega said in 1987 on Swedish Television, "A few years ago, I used to see this group of children playing in from of my building, and there was one of them, whose name was Luka, who seemed a little bit distinctive from the other children. I always remembered his name, and I always remembered his face, and I didn't know much about him, but he just seemed set apart from these other children that I would see playing. And his character is what I based the song Luka on. In the song, the boy Luka is an abused child - In real life I don't think he was. I think he was just different." Read more on Last.fm.
