MY NAME IS LUKA: WHEN PARENTS ARE THE THREAT

"Luka" is a song recorded by Suzanne Vega and released as a single in 1987. It remains her highest-charting hit. Luka was one of the earliest songs to deal with child abuse. One critic said, "the 'happy' music is a metaphorical denial, making this seem beautiful and serene while discussing something terrible and devastating. It is a wonderful use of tune as a metaphor for how many abuse victims also deny their abuse, and is a profound classic."
