    Tracy Chapman is an exceptional songwriter/musical artist. Lyrically, Tracy grabs hold of our hearts and does not let go. Thank you Janet for reminding me of a loved song. 🌺

    Subdued yet the Irish lilt gives it a different emotional interpretation from Tracy Chapman. I’m glad you covered this. 😊

    Your voice has always been my therapy. There aren't many things that can help me relax and feel like i'm ok, but your voice is one of them. Forever grateful for you Janet 🖤

    This is one of my all time favourite songs. Nobody sings it like Tracy Chapman, but Janet, you did it proud. It illicited the same emotions when you sung it and when Tracy sings it. Thank you. Fantastic cover.

    Thank you for singing the full song and for taking us along with you on this emotional journey of a hopeful relationship gone bad. You do a great job carrying us from hope to disappointment to anger, with the tenderness of your voice and the subtlety of your singing. This is another great cover. 🥰🥰🥰

    Janet, I think what I love most about your voice is I can feel your pain. I wish I could take that pain away from you. I pray you keep beating your demons. The world is a better place because of you and that is all any of us can hope for. I am sending you prayers for your continued health.

  • @jeremymaslovitz2357
    @jeremymaslovitz2357 Год назад +2

    I love this cover, this song is truly a masterpiece. Tracy Chapman's lyrics have to be up there literally with the best that ever was in music, this song feels so timeless and always has. I love how many people have covered it and everyone kind of leaves a piece of themselves in each version so its actually quite a beautiful thing.

    You can hear the pain in your voice, your voice is usually a lot more "floaty" but here you can hear the grit in your voice as your throat is closing and getting tight.

    Ridiculous, how good you are, and how you make me smile! I always like this song. But my brother, his girlfriend back in the day, she was half chinese, and THIS was her favourite song. Her Dad was an alocholic, he beat her up. Her mother didn't care. My Brother took her out of that situation, he mentioned to me one time back then, that's why she was thorny and quick tongued! And I had to forgive her, this new person, for her venom that'd sometimes get directed in defense in all directions.
    They are still together. Two kids, into middle age, those bad times for her are long gone. But I got them, by the way. Once I'd learned about it. I got the Uncle. I got the Dad. Nobody knows! But I got it done, once I'd found out.
    Guess her fast car was with my brother, in the end.

      This whole comment is like poetry. You clearly have a talent for writing (it comes across so strongly even just in this comment) and a story to tell. If there was a book of your life, written in the style of this comment, I would honestly want to read it. For whatever that's worth, coming from a total stranger on the internet.

      @@bobblebardsley I've always had a thing for writing. Used to be an avid reader only not so much these days. I work in a school as an Intervention English teacher, a job I came to very late in life after decades of working with my hands. Perhaps I found my calling, after all that time wasted.

    I loved Tracy's "Fast Car" when it first hit the radio in my teen years. Good choice Devlin. You got me remembering now my leaving Houston Texas and the magical moment, just as my car left Texas forever Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason" played on the radio! It was 1996 and Tracy made that moment so right. It was time for me to leave! You got a beautiful singing voice Devlin
