“Luca” is about Luca Brasi, a character from Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, who was essentially a spy for the Corleone family. In the story, when Luca gets made by Sollozo, he’s drowned with a pair of cement boots to sink to the bottom of the ocean. The original leaked demo version of the song was all acoustic with vocals both haunting and beautiful. The song was then reworked with the full band and included on The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me as “Luca”.
