Suzanne Vega

The song of the day is Luka from the 1987 album Solitude Standing by singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega. The song is written about, and from the point of view of, an abused child. (A live performance by Vega in Japan can be watched here.) Luka was an international hit. Tom’s Diner, another hit on the same album, was recorded a cappella and was remixed in 1990 as a dance track by English duo DNA.
