Dit nummer is terug te vinden op het in 1987 uitgebrachte album "Solitude standing".

"Luka"

haalde datzelfde jaar de top drie op de "Billboard Hot 100".
Het blijft Suzanne Vega 's grootste hit. Zij was waarschijnlijk één van de eerste artiesten om kindermisbruik en huiselijk geweld aan te klagen in haar muziek. Zij deed dit middels het serene vrolijke melodietje dat als metafoor moest dienen voor de manier waarop slachtoffers vaak omgaan met het hen aangedane leed, door het te ontkennen.

De clip werd opgenomen in New York en geregisseerd door Michael Patterson en Candice Reckinge. De opnames duurden drie dagen. De rol van Luka werd vertolkt door Jason Cerbone die tijdens een auditie uit ruim 90 kandidaten werd gekozen.


Hier volgt de tekst :


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
Well, 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

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  [endtext]
