      let's not be snobbish about it either. She's just not a pop artist and that's fine because she never set out to be one. Her music transcends cultural and geographical barriers, that's what matters.

    Merci beaucoup chère Tracy j'ai grandi avec ta belle music avec des paroles sensées et surtout ta belle voix d'inccence.
    En 1993: dans la pause d'inter cours magistral tout le monde a sorti de l'amphithéâtre et j'ai pris le micro et j'ai chanté accapella ta belle chanson "moutains of things" et un après un certain temps l'amphithéâtre archi comble entrain d'écouter ta belle chanson.Une fois terminé j'ai sorti sous les applaudissements et avec ma pudeur je suis revenu une semaine après à l'université.
    C'est toujours un plaisir d'écouter ta belle music Tracy❤

We both were in the ABC program, we went to the same college and I stayed in the same room she was in during college. Also my married name is now Chatman...with a T instead of a P but you get the idea. I feel like she is my true soul sister. 💜

    Lyrics:
    All you folks think you own my life
    But you never made any sacrifice
    Demons they are on my trail
    I'm standing at the crossroads of the hell
    I look to the left I look to the right
    There're hands that grab me on every side
    Mmh, mmh
    Mmh, mmh
    All you folks think I got my price
    At which I'll sell all that is mine
    You think money rules when all else fails
    Go sell your soul and keep your shell
    I'm trying to protect what I keep inside
    All the reasons why I live my life
    Mmh, mmh
    Mmh, mmh
    Some say the devil be a mystical thing
    I say the devil he a walking man
    He a fool he a liar conjurer and a thief
    He try to tell you what you want
    Try to tell you what you need
    Mmh, mmh
    Mmh, mmh
    Standing at the point
    The road it cross you down
    What is at your back
    Which way do you turn
    Who will come to find you first
    Your devils or your gods
    Mmh
    All you folks think you run my life
    Say I should be willing to compromise
    I say all you demons go back to hell
    I'll save my soul, save myself
    Mmh, mmh
    Mmh, mmh
    Save my soul, save myself
    Save my soul, save myself
    Save my soul, save myself
    Save my soul, save myself

    What this song says about artistry, about the self, about sanity….unparalleled. Unlike anyone. She is truly one of the greats- and perhaps the only great who always did it entirely on her own terms. We love you, Tracy.

    I first heard Tracy Chapmen while repainting the youth leaders living room. She had this album on CD. I learnt so much from her messages, like what it means to put soul in your perspective. To know the real value of whats pure and true in this world. To see through facades in others. To know dignity comes from within.
