Suzanne Vega 是80年代民謠運動複興的領軍人物,她既是歌手,又是一個出色的詞曲作家。1985年其處女專輯發表,受到了樂評界一致好評。並且在英美兩地銷量出奇的好。著名的 Rolling Stone 雜誌還把該專輯評爲八十年代最出色的一百張專輯之一。此後 Suzanne Vega 便在世界各地巡演,並被邀請到如 Royal Albert 音樂廳,Carnegie 音樂廳,Radio City Music 音樂廳等此類高等的地方演出。1986年,Suzanne Vega 更是爲Philip Glass 的管弦樂隊譜暸兩首曲子。
1987年的第二張專輯“Solitude Standing”(孤獨站立),在商業上取得了更大的成功,專輯在全世界的銷量達到了300萬張。專輯中的“Tom's Diner”和 "Luka" 更是成爲經典名曲。此後發行的三張專輯,成績依然不俗,她的音樂是順耳順心,一路流淌下來。八年前初聽到Tom's Dinner,也叫我淡淡地吃了一驚,從此不能忘記這個名字。這張精選集, Tried and True,配器加了些電子味,然而如一條小溪,還是八年前一樣流著,可是對一個誠實的歌者來說,還有什麽是必需的呢?Susanne, 通常是歌裏被吟唱著的那個鄰家女孩芳名。(VeryCD.com)
Luka Lyrics Suzanne Vega
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 'cause 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
