@@kayn5078lol what? He literally said when he performed it that the entire album was amazing. Tracy Chapman also liked it so wtf are you griping about. Another moron offended on the behalf of someone who isn't
I’ve listened this song so many times, it plays on the radio constantly, but I actually just read all the lyrics as it played and it’s truly a beautiful song by Tracy Chapman, Luke combs did a great cover, but whew…. This song is a masterpiece about hope, disappointment, striving for happiness and dreams achieved. Kinda teared up a bit this time 👀
Listen to this then Bittersweet Symphony by Verve. When finished, if you ain't crying while hugging your spouse/SO/kid(s)/dog(s), put a mirror under your nose...
This song has literally been covered by over a dozen artists over the last three decades. Not with the amount of success of Luke Combs but... Nobody seems to look up any facts.
I liked this song when Tracy Chapman sang it back in the day, however, this new version is astronomical and awesome. I like this version better. Thanks, Luke. Thanks, Tracy. Great song.
I'm not a huge fan of country music, but I do like some songs. I came across this cover version of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" on the radio, and thought it sounded good. I never envisioned "Fast Car" as a country song, but it totally works. I think Luke Combs did this song justice.
@@soundcheck2k7 If you wanna get technical about it, the song is folk rock, but Luke Combs is a country artist, and the slide guitar effect provides a country element to it. Hence why I consider this version to be country.
I was fully expecting to see that he'd changed the lyrics to "I work in the market in the checkout line," but no, he retained the original lyrics as a tribute to Tracy Chapman. This is a brave man and a fine musician.
It's ok bc him not changing the word girl probably got him more attention from younger people who didn't know this was a remake of a woman's song... Like "Huh.. what did he just say? Did he just call himself a checkout girl???" 🤔
Tracey Chapmans original is country , unlike other versions like the chick's, he hasn't changed it at all , it's a great copy for those who don't know the proper version it does seem odd for a man to sing the lyrics of a womans view of a useless father to her kids and her wasted life
Whenever I go swimming, We put the country radio on and this song is playing and I’m just rocking out in the pool and I didn’t know 7Clouds has this song like wow!❤ We love you 7Clouds! I’m gonna sing it.. So I remember we were drive, Driving in your car 🚘 😊😊😊😊 thank you for sponsoring this song onto your channel because anyone that loves country, They could just listen to this song and just sing it anywhere everyday! Well We love you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😁😁 Hope you like this note 7Clouds!
I fell in love with this song from a 10 sec clip and just searched it up. Happy I got to experience such a son that was before I was born. Shoutout to Tracy Chapman! This song is a blessing.
Its crazy I work with women younger then me. I'm 37 and they had no clue this was a cover. I don't listen to country but remember I loved this song growing up I wanted to play the guitar because of it. I'm glad Tracey chapman a queer black woman can finally get her shine on the country charts.
I always LOVE Luke Combs songs and with all due respect to Luke this is a nice rendition and speaks volumes about how much we ALL love this song.....but nobody does this like Tracy! Tracy puts the SOUL into this song like no other! Tracy remember this "imitation is flattery"! Thanks to both for bringing us this AMAZING heartfelt song!
Love that a new generation can hear the song and emotion that is fast car.... But you just can't touch the original. The curse of an average cover by a good artist tackling a great ICONIC song.
@@TreMolloyglad it's an exact copy. That's y it's doing so well. Tracy's song is the reason Luke is doing so well, and Luke's cover is the reason the song is doing so well. Can't change a classic.
@lindsayhall5285 that was my point , I replied to others saying it was odd singing she had fast car she spent time in bar not with wife an kids etc ..but then luke could sing the fone book same as Tracey he is class up there with Chris Stapleton at the minute
@TreMolloy yes I agree. Love his voice. Been a huge fan of him ever since "when it rains it pours" ...and Chris Stapleton is amazing . He's country but he's also almost blues rock n sounds like Eric Clapton in some of his songs n style. Love all 3 of them (Luke Combs, Chris, Tracy)
This song is a remake of an incredible singer/songwriter Tracey Chapman. She released it in 1988 and it was spectacular. Don’t really care for his voice.
@@jobuck879wow I grew up listening to the original n I had no idea it came out 88...I thought it came out in the 90s at the earliest. Wow she was ahead of her time eh
Love his version of this great song and I’m glad a white country music artist sang it instead of a filthy mouth rapper. I’m black and I can remember when we were musically great.
What is your dream car?
Mr bean car
Nissan GT-R R-35
Ferrari laferrari
a tesla I guess
😂
Ferrari... or Lotus... I change my mind everytime. They are only dreams...
So glad a whole new generation gets to experience this amazing song.
What makes this great is you can feel the love and respect Luke has for the original song. It’s not just a cover, it’s a super powerful song.
Basic respect would be at least to name her.
(Tracy Chapman)
Take a fast car and cep on diving
Loved it when Tracy released it and love the way Luke has brought it back to life. Congratulations to them both on a great song.
The fact that people think it’s racist just makes me chuckle
He sung someone else's song and didn't even give them credit, but congrats to him?? Roll eyes. For the record, The song didn't need recreating
@@kayn5078lol what? He literally said when he performed it that the entire album was amazing. Tracy Chapman also liked it so wtf are you griping about. Another moron offended on the behalf of someone who isn't
Tracy said he gives 2 thumbs up on Luke version LOL
This song is one of the best ❤ thank Tracy of Course to Luke he give life back to this song❤❤❤
I've loved this song since I was a teen, Luke does a fantastic job.
sTOP LYING TO YOURSELF
@@PolizomaAceLuke covered this song, it's not his
@@PolizomaAcedamn why u so mad kid😂
Let's give the original song creator Tracy chapman the props she deserves for a great song.
Oh trust me she is getting hella paid off of this 💯 the figures in her bank is another way she knows LOL
@@ericjones4757 I hope so haha its crazy to me how long this song has been out time flies.
I have to say Tracy has the better version. Luke did well but Tracy kills it
She has already gotten huge props!
The song was perfect and did not need a subpar remake

This song has been underrated for decades. Glad to see it revived.
It was a huge hit! Won grammies and all
@@tonnielchin233people just be saying stuff. It's literally one of the most popular songs ever.
This song has literally been covered by over a dozen artists over the last three decades. Not with the amount of success of Luke Combs but... Nobody seems to look up any facts.
Under rated. Won 3 grammys. Good heavens.
@@DMontez3 and for a good reason: it is relatable to the struggles of many Americans
I liked this song when Tracy Chapman sang it back in the day, however, this new version is astronomical and awesome. I like this version better. Thanks, Luke. Thanks, Tracy. Great song.
Forever grateful for Tracey for this beautiful song but this cover is truly something else😩

It works. Not as good as the original, but I'll be damned if it ain't pretty good.
He killed it
Lol this ain't country
@@soundcheck2k7 Yeah the song being actually good is how you know its not country.
@@soundcheck2k7 If you wanna get technical about it, the song is folk rock, but Luke Combs is a country artist, and the slide guitar effect provides a country element to it. Hence why I consider this version to be country.
I’m a Texan so Luke combs is kinda important to us 😅❤
Love this song
A friare
It is just so good i can’t stop sing it
Luke gives all the respect and credit to Tracey. Class act.
They should do a duet! 😃
Yeah right.
They just did at the Grammys 🙂
Just did for the Grammys❤
Holy shit, that duet was amazing
I was fully expecting to see that he'd changed the lyrics to "I work in the market in the checkout line," but no, he retained the original lyrics as a tribute to Tracy Chapman. This is a brave man and a fine musician.
Same here! But I thought check-out clerk? 😆
Or check out boy, or check out guy...
Not allowed to change the lyrics otherwise you have to get approval from the songwriter and she doesn’t allow covers
It's ok bc him not changing the word girl probably got him more attention from younger people who didn't know this was a remake of a woman's song...
Like "Huh.. what did he just say? Did he just call himself a checkout girl???" 🤔
He identifies as a checkout girl.
I can see the story behind this song! That’s what makes it art!
What is the story? What is this song about?
Great song by Tracy Chapman and I feel like it was always meant to be country. Love both versions! ❤
Tracey Chapmans original is country , unlike other versions like the chick's, he hasn't changed it at all , it's a great copy for those who don't know the proper version it does seem odd for a man to sing the lyrics of a womans view of a useless father to her kids and her wasted life
@@jaysmokeysowhat if its stupid. He still getting paid from the song and most people loveit

Props to Luke for doing a great job with Tracey’s song. I’d like to see them do a duet❤️
Awesome Song Tracy! Luke blows it outta the water! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Tracy Chapman does it best, but Luke does it justice. Great song.
Agree,
Not even close. She didn't realize she wrote a country song until Luke took it to the moon.
Yep
Good on him not changing the words. ❤😊
thanks to Taylor that i found this song

2:12 I truly appreciate him leaving the lyrics alone.
YESSS!!! 🙌
RESPECT! 🙏🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏿🥰
this cover version is right up there with disturbed's sound of silence and Metallica's turn the page very well done 👏👏👏👏
Love this song. Not enough words to describe the song and the performance by Luke Combs.
Would love to see them duet this. Also I love that he didn't change the lyrics.
Ah...Such a good cover !!!!
Luke.. thanks for bringing back this great song. I listen to it every day❤
This song is like listening to a 300 page novel in just a few minutes . So very strange and Luke Combs nailed it in a huge way .
Beatiful🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Luke did a great job with this song. Great voice too 👏❤️
Great remake I was just listening to the original song.
So much soul and peace in this song but his voice made it that much better!

Fantastic song with a great small town story
I love this song! I love Lukes version the best.
Tracy Chapman version better,
But Glad Luke payed his respect with his own cover.
its an exact copy he not changed it , the chick's and others changed it slightly, its a classic
