Summary of “Luka”

The song “Luka” is written and sung by Suzanne Vega. The songwriter creates a character based on a boy named Luka. She imagines that he was an abused child, who lived miserable. She describes the voice from the child’s heart. His house was not harmonious; sometimes his neighbors would hear some noises. He was depressed, but he didn’t want others to know about his trouble, just left him alone. His only wish was less discord in his room. The song describes the life of an abused child, and the audience can be easily involved in the song, and feel the boy’s injured soul.

Something bad about the family is a topic many people talk about in recent years, also singers want to write songs and sing. Domestic abuse, this issue may be news we know from newspaper or television. Sometimes, we heard from our friends or neighbors, or our own experiences. Some singers would like to speak out their thoughts and feeling, so they sing something like this, too. Because we are human beings, we sing with our emotions. And these kinds of songs will be granted a unique affection.
