    in 1987, I was with a woman one evening, and had this song on a mix-tape (cassette!) playing in the background. Not familiar with it, she was listening quietly and halfway through started crying, to full-blown sobs. Turned out she had a very abusive childhood and even years later, with a son of her own, it was still very raw to her. I wonder if now, 35 years on, probably a grandmother, she ever hears this and remembers that evening.

    Speaking from a musician's view, I have always been very impressed with the structure of this song. It is so well produced. Great lead guitar which is so complimentary to the song. And of course, Suzanne Vega's voice is angelic. A good platform for the message of abuse. Way to go Suzanne!

    This is one of the most beautiful yet saddest songs ever, sang by one of the best singers with the sweetest voice & a most angelic face. Used to ask my then & now late beautiful daughter (RIP Princess) to sing it for me. At the time I didn't know &/or understand what the lyrics really meant. A sad & cry for help for abused children & all who suffer abuse in silence. Suzanne Vega is the G.O.A.T.

    Suzanne Vega recently posted an unearthed letter she received from Prince on Facebook, and it’s a doozy.
    “Dearest
    Suzanne,” the letter begins. “Luka is the most compelling piece of
    music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell you all the
    things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 u.”
    (“Luka” was released in 1987 and reached number 3 on the Billboard
    Hot 100. It remains her highest-charting song in the U.S. and earned
    nominations for record of the year, song of the year and best female pop
    vocal performance at the 1988 Grammy Awards.)

    I was only in elementary school when this song came out and was strangely drawn to it even though I didn't know fully understand what it meant. Grew up in an abusive home, and now I know why I was drawn to the lyrics.

    Still listening to Suzanne periodically. I saw her in an up-close and personal concert at The Boathouse in Norfolk some years ago. Best acoustic concert I ever heard. I attended with a college buddy of hers so we got to chat with her for a while afterwards. That was a nice bonus to a great concert.

    I work in a Child Abuse Investigation Unit, this song has so much meaning for my colleagues and me.
    The lyrics read so much like so many of our cases.
    We work closely with Children's Services and we each have about 70 cases on the go at any time. I've been doing the job for over 15 years and it can be very rewarding, it can also be very stressful and probably contributed to my heart attack and subsequent by pass surgery 18 months ago.
    Back at work now and still motivated.
    I could have retired 3 years ago at 60, I may well go on to 65.
