When I was 10yrs old, another little 10yr-old was murdered by her father - it made such an impression on me that, almost 50 years later, I can still remember her name and see her face. The first time I realised it wasn't only strangers who could do you harm. This brought back that memory - Maria Cauldwell, someone still remembers you.
Just checked - she was Maria Colwell, must have misheard the news bulletin. It was 1973 and I was 9yrs.
@@lesleytownson6421 I'm so heartbroken to read that. That must have been so traumatic; I can only imagine. God bless her precious soul.....
Monsters need to be rid of this world, Iraq vet, this song takes me bk
Thx

Better yet, teach children to love Christ before the world teaches them not to love Christ.
We would have a lot less monsters.
I'm not at all saying Christians or those who are church inclined can not be monsters. Those people are still human, they will fall and fail miserably..
I am saying having a genuine love for Christ, someone will be a lot less likely to turn out to be a monster. That is the way it works.
I am a single father and though I was mentaly abused and terrorised in my young days with an alcoholic father I give my son the best love and childhood I can. He is a happy 13 year old boy now. Im glad my love for him was strong enough to make him what he is now and I broke the negative chain from the past.
Love is in your genes
It's not that easy. Only those of us that have been through it , know the struggles. You are a courageous and strong person.
It's a lesson of life. We're able to change ourselves. Thanks for sharing.
Wtf? Umm, ok? You’re clearly fishing for attention. Who the fuck randomly comments something like that unprovoked. Especially wording it the way you did. You’re definitely attention hungry and want people to say nice things to you. So weird.
@@closinginonclosure wtf man. Songs do these things to people. It reminds them of some old memories and feelings. Sorry to say, but your comment was stupid
@@Dreamex12 Of course music can make you feel something. But there's a difference between feeling something and typing something like this in a CZcams comment section because you want attention. If he didn't want attention he would have kept his thoughts to himself. But he wanted attention. That's the only reason he typed a comment like that on a public forum. That's the way I see it. Regardless, your opinion is obviously different. And I respect your opinion. But think about it. Why would he comment something like that if it was just a personal feeling the song gave him?

Grey beard here hello from down under (Australia) was an amazing time indeed.
Unfortunately it's part of the agenda
@@luisportella1760 someones a bit paranoid.
This song still brings tears to my eyes. I WAS this child in the 70's and early 80's who had the welts on my ass from my dad's thin belt to prove it. It cut like a razor and I bled. I went to school with many black and blue marks all over my legs and had a gym teacher ask me what they were from. I lied and said I fell down the stairs (back in my head I knew if I told the truth, I'd get more of the same). Hey nothing broken, nothing torn...it's not your business anyways. This song came out in 1987...I wept when I first heard it as I am now. I felt like someone else knew exactly what I was going through and I was not alone. That alone gave me strength to find my way out of those times. So thank you...it's been long overdue.
😥
👍👍👍👍👍!!!!
Sorry to hear that but this is about a women
I am so sad and sorry to hear about your youth. But I suppose it does not help you much, me feeling like this. All I can say is that I hope you found happiness now. xxx. From an elderly woman in the UK. Oct 2021
@@johncrowley544 no, it’s about a child. And a little boy, at that. I’ve seen the artist talk about it.
First heard this song when we were just beginning to take in foster children, some of whom had been terribly abused, and it greatly impacted me. Knew we were doing what we were meant to do. Adopted eight kids...still get emotional hearing these lyrics. I was a young man then, turning 65 tomorrow. Wish I could turn back the clock and do it again.
Absolute respect to you there mate.Folk like you are a breath of fresh air in a polluted world.
may God Bless the work you do with the children with health and prosperity, and HBD late.
Not me crying over this comment 💙 and now, I'm 34 and just now begin to process the lyrics differently 😰

Memories
I’m listening to Suzanne Vega Luka late February 2024
Sure am.

Always
The fact that the song is written in major key makes it even more heartbreaking. Just like a child who would smile and laugh, but devastated on the inside. My eyes water every time I hear this song
Same here, even after all these years!
@@adriancox8134 exactly. Even more so, ‘cause I didn’t really get the meaning back in a day..
An abused child stays messed up the rest of his life no matter what he accomplishes. Probably the reason Jesus Christ said it was the one sin that could never be forgiven.
@Steve Austin hey man just because you don't follow it you shouldn't just insult someone's religion
Very good fact!
A song for all the broken childhoods in this cruel world.
Yeah don't ask because they already know no one will help anyway. What a shit world we live in.
@@AnnaLVajda shouldnt have to ask. People need to react. Better safe then sorry. Too many just let it pass by.. :(
Also for broken women/wives. You know wife can be clumsy too.
Big true... Thanks so much for that beautiful words... Can´t stay dry when I listen to this song... So emotional...
May be one billion child.
This was cool time in the late 80s wen there a new resurgence
of folk music like Vega, Tracey Chapman and Edie Brickell.
Still a very moving song 37 years later! 🪘
No doubt
This song and video was so ahead of its time!!.....its a timeless masterpiece!!

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

The lyrics hits really hard. I'll not argue anymore.

"They only hit until you cry, after that you don't ask why".... Possibly one of the rawest and most impactful lyrics ever written. Almost enough to make you actually cry, but for Suzanne's silky and warm delivery. This song is the very definition of bittersweet. What a song, what an artist!

Amen and so be it.

Kids? I thought this was a song about women abuse and a woman in love with a violent man.
I agree, there is NOTHING more heartbreaking than child abuse as that is where every problem in the universe begins.
As a chils abused it talk so deeply to me after so many times.
She deserved a Grammy for bringing attention to an issue no one likes talking about. Child abuse is as old as time.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Just a few months later 10,000 Maniacs came out with What's the Matter Here, the other classic about child abuse. Both songs are chilling. As Pat Benetar said, Hell is for Children.

@@turtleneckferret It’s also been four years. Prince is a well recognized artist.
Prince was very touched by the song --- he also realized music was becoming too flakey and superficial in the 80's and needed deeper meanings

I've been recently getting into Prince so it's such a coincidence to find this lovely comment.

Moi,en France le 20/05/2024.
lovely song, its a sad thing that this happens to helpless children every single day
happens to animals too and it's even worse
It's bad that it happens to any living thing but I think your priorities are a little skewed if you value animals above human children. Alongside, fine; ahead of, no.
Keith Wright you're right i'm just more of an animals person than a people person and I've seen some horrifying animal abuse and not such extreme people abuse but you're right it's all very bad
No problem Nan, I can't stand people who are cruel to animals either. But the only time I fell out with my mum was when she asked me this hypothetical. If a runaway bus was heading for the family's pet dog and a human child I didn't know, and I could only step in and save one of them, which would I save? She didn't speak to me for a couple of days when I said the human child :) It's all a judgement call I suppose.
Keith Wright yea, that's an interesting thought experiment. I would be torn but i'd likely save the human if it came to it... hard to say tho cuz I just love furry critters. people are just different I guess.
Pure legend. i have been tonight at the concert here in Milan. Her voice is exactly the same as 40 years ago. Pure legend of 80's

This has always been one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Absolutely heartbreaking. And as a former abuse victim myself, I find it resonates totally on point. The resignation and justification. The keeping up of appearances and not telling anyone. The song makes me cry even now, so many decades later. Thankyou Susan for writing this, singing it so beautifully and getting this out. God bless you.
So sorry Hugh. You are now stronger 💪, ever. You r in my prayers 💕.live in the moment now.
Strong survivors 😘
Came on the radio as I was driving home alone just today, hence coming here now. Of course I was bawling - I’m a father and my son is a happy boy, but how can this happen? We’ve got to be vigilant on behalf of those wee souls affected, no-one else is on their side.
I’m very sorry for you Hugh, what you had to endure. Absolutely heartbreaking.
When I was younger and still learning english, I thought this was a happy song. Well..the track is upbeat and real catchy. So yeah, that was my first memory of this song. 😯😯😯
Yeshua had my hand the whole way!!!!!!
I remember we learned this song's lyrics back in the days, when I was in High school in English class (I'm French). I was really touched by this woman' s voice and the lyrics. Never forgot it since...I've became a social worker and still fighting against domestic violences. "After that, you don't ask why..." Still gives me the chill man
great life bro!
but that's the way it is...to show strength by not crying just gives you more punishment...best thing is to cry and let them think they have won...keep strong inside
I also remember our class interpreting this song in English class.
it gives me same and remind me of How My mom must have felt When My dad had beaten her half death time after time hundreds of times. until I got 7years old then I one night stood between him and my mom and claimed if he would ever touch her again then I would kill him!! 7years old? can't remember it self but my older brother was there and I been told by him

Sure sorry. We saw a16year old murder victim by the road several years ago. Had been killed by mother’s boyfriend. Probably some molestation involved too. A lot of that was front page news then.

This song is timeless.
I work in child protection, this song is our unofficial anthem. Reminds us why we are in the job.
late 80's...many songs focused on child abuse...and movies (after school specials is what they called it) another one...i think 1988 czcams.com/video/7G6rYibX1kM/video.html
Sad song. Too many fucktards who think it's ok to lay hands on a lady
And sometimes one parenr fasely accuses the other parent with abuse of a child.
@Joel Wallace
I think that the song was based on the child that we saw and the woman was just singing
Not trying to be mean but you all need to do a better job of it! CPS need to be fixed.
Thank you Suzanne for this song!
I think this song should be top 10 in 2024.
possibly top 20 of the last 100 years, but who's counting
I think so
Luka IS top 10 after scoring 20 in the first quarter! outscoring wolves total team points! Top 2 imo & all time better than Lebronze if he can secure one of the greatest finals runs of all time!
This track helped me know I wasn't alone in a f***ed up childhood. I still tear up when I hear it. So raw and poignant. Thank u, Suzanne Vega
Some here lisa
Im so sorry for you
You are certainly not alone.
👍
Yes
This song would be playing on the radio back in 80s when I was a child growing up in a dysfunctional family. English is not my first language so back on those days I could not understand the lyrics. What is in interesting is that somehow I could sense that the song would talk about something I was going through and then I wasn't alone. It would bring me some comfort and peace. It still does. This song has a soul.
I was a bit older than you, but as a young adult, this song resonated with me as well.. I wish it hadn't, but it did and I'm still dealing with the effects now..

Can't listen to this song without having tears on my eyes remembering my awful childhood, but on the other side, I am proud of myself as I have fought with all the ghost from the past to build a comfortable way of living.
I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to call this song a masterpiece. Beautiful music, powerful lyrics on a very sad and complex societal problem. The combination of both almost put you in Luka’s shoes. Suzanne Vega is one of my favorites
May I suggest the musician KNULP ... She does a wonderful version of this important song...
This song is outstanding!

Vine por una tarea de inglés y acá te encuentro xD.
I heard it before I understood English and yet, the inflections in her voice, the melody and her tone conveyed something dark, something poignant, and of course, pain. Music transcends language. I was 10 back then. Still hits me today in my forties, and now that I understand English, even more so. Timeless
wow. You write sooo beautifully for someone who is a non-native writer of English. Incredible.

OK all you mid 40's-50 people, if you could go back in time to relive the 80's, BUT you would lose 15 to 20 years of your life, would you it??? The 80's were a unique and amazing decade. The music! The parties! The dances! The friends (many of which you still have 30 years later). Even the movies (ET, The Breakfast Club, Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Dirty Dancing ("Nobody puts Baby in the corner!")!! Now that you know that the worst that can happen to you is to be grounded for a week or two, would you have done more than you did the first time?? I gotta say YES to both questions. Many of us want to get back to the big hair, the leg warmers, and the jean jackets!
The 80's were the last decade that, as a kid, we could stay out until dark, safely go into neighbors houses, and there was no reason to get out of bed if you fell asleep and forgot to lock the front door. We didn't have XBox or Wees, or cell phones. If we had a day of technological gaming, it was playing Frogger, Space Invaders, or Pong! We were totally happy playing hide and seek or Cowboys and Indians (I'm part Native American, though being an Indian never bothered me) and we never heard of being PC. We made complex tunnels in the snow banks, used ropes to swing 5 or 6 kids at a time 20 to 40 feet in the air (and we all lived when we fell off!), and fed marshmallows to raccoons from the back door steps (that ended when most of the Northeastern Raccoons were killed off when the rabies scare hit) . Some of us with a lot of patience even taught chipmunks to eat nuts out of our hands or on our shoulders. Life was easier, and a hell of a lot more fun than any kid has today. Why? Because we were safe. Children could wander the neighborhood, ride our bikes along roadsides, and enjoy running through connected yards sometimes until 9 or 9:30! To put it simply, we were safe. Everyone knew everyone but maybe it was because we could go OUTSIDE (and we preferred it that way)!
Thank u Jason!! Bravo
Here in my country is the same you said, the music became a junk.
Jason... you let me speechless... here in my country was and is the same, and a shame... maybe we, that enjoy those years were the last to know that happiness and peace could be togheter... nonedays we must choice one of them...thanks for your words!
yes absolutely, but only once. i would slap my young self for being an idiot, beat the living bloody shit out of my idiot parents for making life extremely fucking hard and painful, and give my young self tips to avoid future danger and gain a lot of wealth. the rest would be an enigma. i would disappear into thin air as my horrid past would not longer exist.
I am in the late 20's and I would love to experience your time without loosing 15 years off-course !!
Musica per viaggiare.Grazie mille Suzanne
@stealthfireblade8080 Suzanne Vega Luka is my number one favorite song
1:34
Probably one of the most powerful songs ever written.
This song made me feel less alone as a kid. I grew up with domestic violence. I was happy someone was talking about it from our perspective. Music is sometimes a savior.

Me too amd ironically my brothers name is luka and we lived on second floor i overcame that, forgave my parents bc they had much worse childhood than us so if you look at the reallity they made much better home and life then they had and considering here in balkans its normal to phisically punish kids well... My brother is still bitter about it.. But this song is great but its very wrong to listen to it constantly this type of songs will allways make you feel bad...
We survived it, the pain remains...
We know to not be like them...
What a pretty breathtaking girl my Beauty ?
❤
take me back to the 80s please. best of times
I know right :)
dgalindo37 early 00's were fine too.
GoldenGlove209 Yes they were!

I would prefer to go back to the 70's and live that decade again. Suzanne isone year younger than me, and most of her songs were created in that decade.
Thank you for decades of beautiful music.
Still as beautiful today as it was all those years ago .
How many Luka's suffer in silence? A beautiful, brave and heartbreaking song!
Ben E: Fact.True and honest lines.Thank You, at least you do listen the message instead of hearing it.2020.And yes, the lyrics hurt because it is a daily battle.
My real name is Luca I suffered in silence
I know someone named leaky eye luka. Even though he robs people near the airport sometimes, he died because of this guy named Giorno Giovanna. It was so sad
@@lexxx89 Can we stop invading comment sections with our obnoxious references? Or can we at least be a bit more subtle with the references?

*DAGA KOTOWARU!*
As someone who was beaten and punched by my mother constantly as a a child, this one hits a raw nerve. Love to all those who suffered child abuse growing up and still bear the scars.
😥😥😥😥
Sending hugs back, sorry you had to go through that also.
Right back at you.
I am so sorry that you suffered bullying from any person, I was lucky my mom and dad were loving. Child abuse is the one thing I detest because it stifles development. This is why Luka is so important to me. XxXxX
I never associated this song w child abuse.
One of my favorite 80s songs! The instrumental is such a vibe!
_Música boa não envelhece, atravessa gerações_ ♥♥
January 2021 and still as relevant and important as in the 80’s. A gem 💎!!!
I thought this song came out in the 90s. Or atleast I didn't hear it until maybe mid 90s or so.
Ok
Still relevant....which makes it more sad.
Biden says mask on, dont worry
@@jessicagruber6023 ....o.....k
I grew up in a perfect little family. My parents adopted me when I was a small baby and took care of me in the best way possible. When I listened to this song for the first time while being able to understand the lyrics ( I am not a native english speaker ) , it hits me hard, because the way Suzanne Vega created this song I was able to really understand that not everyone had a childhood like I had. And it terrified me, that, in an other timeline, this could have happened to me too. I've been a lifelong fan of Suzanne Vega since then...

lyrics :
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
Good ...ok Genius is You....desde Chile OS saludo
😢
Thanks

May I suggest the musician KNULP... she does a wonderful version of this song....
Who is listening + three decades after releasing of this song??
Yes in the XXI Century. To be continued...!
No
Me is listening and i will always do, im gonna listen to this lovely song forever and after that too and then forever again and again and again
My girlfriend at the time introduced me to her music. Even took her to concert to promote her album. Concert was great and she was quite funny during her monologues between songs.
Well obviously people who r gonna be seeing this comment are goung to be watching this three + decades its not like they could see this bedore you posted
Sad, timeless, and still relevant today.
I never knew the lyrics to this song before now. I can't even explain how touching this song is to me now.
This song hits too close to home.
I was a Luka when I was a kid.
Man, my dad broke me in so many ways I can't even tear up about anymore.
I beg you, folks, to never hit your children. You'll loose more than just your kid's trust.
Powerful.
I wanna comment
But can’t...
Stay safe.
None of my business, but your dad was way way more broken than you. Does not excuse him but may be gives you perspective.
same here...dont ever hit ur kids...ended up been screwed up in the head..till today...i have a family but i am never complete...u cant undo childhood...but remember every tomorow is another chance to make life better..
Sorry 😞 to read that.. hope you are ok now
Things are gonna get easier.
This song is a masterpiece. It always gives me chills. The arrangement and the quality of the tracks is really over the top. One of the best songs ever.
It is
Thanks
I agree, one of the 80's best songs
Top Notch
It is.
Going to see Suzanne LIVE tonight in Kent Ohio. Ohhh man this album is such a gem 🔥🔥🔥
Timeless, beautiful and extremely moving.
I am a father of 4 boys. Love your children with all your heart. They need it, the return is priceless
Scott Robbins That makes me happy and sad at the same time. Good on ya for being there mate
Deftone 303 it doesn’t come without a price my friend make no mistake. But I wouldn’t change it unless I had a do over then I would try even harder. Cheers !
And it means one won't be alone when old. If anyone wants to be alone when old then just fail to love your children.
SickKent it’s OK friend two are grown men now they made their mistakes growing but they are doing good. Oh by the way for my love and time spent I get to be their hero for life not bad in my opinion. The other two are younger I’m working on that hero thing ............ check back in about ten years.
@@scottrobbins6216 good for you!!
but in the world there are millions of families dysfunctional or with problems
This is a straight up masterpiece… this should be in the top 50 greatest songs off all time…. Every aspect is perfect… and Suzanne’s voice is beautiful
Roger that, buddy. This is the best song ever written. Perfect in every sense of the word
I still get a chill down my spine when I hear this song
This brings back memories ❤
