On my way to California, driving through the Rockies, as I post this. Moving for a better life. It’s a toss up. But I’m hopeful.
I really hope it turns out to be a better life for you & the toss up pays off.
The best of success and God's guidance!
You shouldn't be commenting and driving
Good luck & God bless
Hope everything is looking up for you. Congrats on the change!👍
Fast Car is one of the best songs ever written, and he does it justice.
you're right, it's definitely timeless. I'm 39 and remember hearing it in the early 90s as a kid and loving it. Still love it to this day
Yes! He did. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Still has nothing on Chapman.
Love this version
I completely agree
His voice is ideal for covering this song. He sounds like he could be her brother.
Yes, her. I take it you've never heard the original by Tracy Chapman?

Tracy Chapman is a woman. I guess he didn’t know that lol
@@_angelxsama Lol yeah. Hopefully he knows now
Limabeef lmaooo oh god🤦🏻♂️
@@_angelxsama lol i didnt know until i saw her performance too
I love how everyone still loves the original more. Nothing will ever beat Tracy.
Still, Khalid did a great job! Love it
Yea, hers had so much emotion into it
I like Khalid's best
@@seannboland1331 saamee
I like this cover better.
this obe by justin bieber

More than the vocalist the guitarist deserves recognition... i mean he was so fluid with his playing
He was good, but there are hundreds of thousands of people who can play this song on guitar. Stop cheapening the vocals with comments like these.
@@so10enn I can say the same for the singer and i dont see any bad side of complimenting the guitar player... you triggered much?
@@KTM_Trooper SO triggered
@@so10enn i can see that
@@KTM_Trooper Yeah, you really got me with that sick comeback, bro! I'm just too triggered
His voice suits this song so good

He sounds like he has a nice voice but most of what he says is incoherent so it ruins the song.
not really but its good
Y’all should hear Justin Bieber’s version, talking about a voice made for this song
Can we please ask God for many more years for the guitarist?
@Australiantatious it's the details man
Amen
@Alexander Supertramp you must be fun at party's
I can play this song too. Can u tell God to give me a few more years too. Thanks bro
No No Lol I know right, kinda a hard rip
Don’t get me wrong, both Tracy and Khalid killed it, but this guitarist is SOLID as well. The consistency on those little flourishes is nuts.
Yeah the guitarist was definitely an underrated part of this video
Absolutely amazing how close to the original it is
was just saying this to myself, this is not an easy song by any means
@@Toucansam46 Absolutely. Easy to play the basics of it, hard to play like this.
Watched the guitarist 10 years ago on RUclips as Jus Jeff. He has unbelievable talent.
the guitarist went OFF, love it
This song makes me daydream of a roadtrip somewhere in the middle of nowhere while I'm trying to figure out my life...
Maria Vasilakou be quiet and drive(far away) does that for me also
Run without a single problem
I’ll drive
shall we?
Absolutely!
nothing beats the original, but damn this was close
I love your playlists. And I just bought her cd the other day
No it wasn't close.
I agree
the bootleg boy yeah I have replayed it a lot of time
the bootleg boy this was awful
Fast car is one of those songs that when it starts playing everyone just shuts the f*ck up
facts
They didn't in Bieber's concert . I'm so mad I wasn't able to hear him clearly
@@justbeliebering2512 lmao
Fr
Absolutely. Everyone goes into deep thought or a reverie when they hear it. And it's completely unique to each person.
His voice is so soothing
Mr. sksksks yes so true he’s amazing and a Inspiration that EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN YOU BELIEVE

I would like to see him and Tracey duet this song.
That would be a beautiful unification of generations
Yes!
Too bad cause she is a recluse.
Me toooo
please not
Tracy paints a picture and puts you there with her in her raw emotion., which is why her version is eternal and best. We felt it and can never forget it. This one is soooo good too and anyone that covers this haunting song we know, 'gets it' so we love you too. 💜👌
We all are on a fast ride, a ride which can end at any moment. Souls ain´t alright nor right with GOD, to go back home.
Choosing not to repent and BORN AGAIN, souls still daily live in sins. (Luke: 13:3 KJV)
Perishing because of the knowledge, which they didn´t care about knowing. (HOSEA 4:6 KJV)
Seen and heard so many people cover this particular legendary song and not many stands out as much as this one. This was absolutely amazing. Everything Khalid touches turns to gold. Always look forward to his music or performance. Great voice, great talent.
P.S.
If anyone remember the audition of Michael Collings in BGT that performance was beautiful too.
Biebers was best imo then this second
JFIMES , Bieber’s was good too. But this tops that by far.
Tausif Punk oh yes so true...I need to make this as my Channel intro music
Check out Kina Grannis's cover. You won't be disappointed. Trust.
Tausif Punk p
As a hardcore TracyC fan, I have to say, I was quite pleased by this young man. Few things can touch the original, if at all. For as young as Khalid is, he did quite well. He has talent!
Prader Will, the way you say it seems like your opinion means two shiny shits to him.
Seems like it means a thousand shiny shits to you though!
Stop talking like a dagg ,"this young man" get with it.
Did you skip your meds today, sweetie?
Prader Willi way better than justin biebers cover!
I usually hate covers, especially of such an amazing song, but he really nailed this. This is great.
He didnt nail it
@@adatdude419 Nah he did.
He did a cover Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, you know?
He didn’t even come close...His voice isn’t all that thank god for audio tuning.
Don Boscorelli he didn’t nail it! Autotune voice. Craig David nails his covers
The stark difference between the intensity of the verses and the chorus of this song is one of the things that makes it so great. You're just chilling listening to a chill melody and it instantly gets intense and emotional in the verses. Good stuff
Anyone else low key obsessed with this song? I cannot stop listening!
Probaly could listen to this on repeat daily
Aye
Me!
Obsessed 6/18/20
Low key. I like the choice of words
My favourite song ever created because my dad died when I was 10... he used to rebuild classic cars, had one of those famous green TVR'S with sporty vents on the wings... always used to take me out in it driving fast, looking to the side of him while giggling at my excitement of the thrill... me getting worried about the speed and him replying with its ok son ill look after you and smiling :) this song makes me cry with sadness and happiness at the same time because it reminds me of the memories we shared together filled with pure love, laughter and adventures... if only we could share that car journey again and again... :'( R.I.P Dad X
May Your Dad Rest Easy 🙏🏽 💙🕊
This comment hit me in the feels. My dad was never there for me. I'm 33 now, he still prefers the bottle over his children :(. Wish I had a little of what you had.
@@ashaavocado5898 thank you so much, I'm starting a channel on here to do with mental health and life experiences and over coming them for a positively ending :-) just want to help others
take care
@@neile9003 aw no... can you contact him? or is it not like that? I'm sorry to hear that and now I feel forever grateful for what I had :-( take care and if you ever need to talk, always here man
@@ashaavocado5898 still appreciate this, thanks man
I LOVE how intelligent the guitar playing is here. He played the last two chords an octave lower when Khalid was singing and it worked so perfectly props to the guy damnnn
Yash Dani @jussjef hes performed with stevie wondering and jhene aiko among others
I made an account just to make a comment about @jussjef he is amazing i use to listen to him play ten years ago if not more what a talent
Its called music sensitivity, its a gift
Who is here because of Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs's preformance from the Grammys 2024?? I love this version by Khalid! His voice is so raw almost like begging. Really love it!
You a grinch grooved
This song is so soothing and peaceful, no matter the version. Beautiful cover.
Guitarist: STRAIGHT FIRE! BRO, YOU KILLED IT! Loved that quick string tapping at 3:48
It’s jussjef
Wicked it is
Please Khalid, release this cover on spotify!
Never really appreciated this song as a kid....but wow....one of my all time favorites. This cover is particularly excellent as it connects very well with Tracy's version but decidedly it's own take. Well done Khalid!
Same. It’s like we had to have age and experience to appreciate. I feel that way about this song & Aretha Franklin’s Everchanging Times.
this is perfection, he sounds like the male version of tracy. incredible! the great khalid!
Tracy sounds like the male version of Tracy
Jake
Lol no, her voice is just really deep, she is a girl 😂
Calum 😂😂😂😂
Adriana Varas wtf tracy's a girl?!?
Andrei Huliganga yes 😂
The perfect voice for this
MANA The perfect voice for this was Tracy Chapman.
I agree, but this guys voice fits pretty damn sweet. Just sayin :)
This is borderline horrific. He'd get slaughtered on American Idol if he went on singing this shitty.
American Idol encourages over singing. People who like that stuff probably can't appreciate a subtle approach to vocals.
What in the hell are you talking about man? Have you ever even heard the original by Tracy Chapman? This is one of the best and most accurate covers I have ever heard, and his voice truly is perfect for this song. Claiming that his singing is "shitty" does nothing but tell all of us that you have no clue what great singing really is, which isn't shocking at all since you are using American Idol as some sort of gauge for what good singing is lol, which is comical/pitiful to put it kindly. In what world is this damn near perfect cover "borderline horrific" as you say?!? I would bet a lot of money that even Tracy Chapman herself would say that this was an excellent cover. Please explain what was "borderline horrific" about this song, in your "opinion". Also, American Idol has ZERO to do with genuine talent or actual amazing singing, so please don't try to use American Idol in your justification of your "opinion" or as some sort of frame of reference for what good music or talent really is. Thank you and I await your explanation on why this song was "borderline horrific" to you, when damn near everyone else heard this song for what it really was, an amazing cover of an amazing song, by someone with a killer voice that was perfect to do this cover. Thank you and have a great day. :)
P.S. Go explore RUclips and look for some musicians with talent or great voices, since you clearly do not understand what either of those things are. Also, how old are you? I will take the under at 24 years old, am I correct?
Feels heavenly listening to this.
Mad respect Khalid, your rendition of this song is so beautiful
Pls make this available at spotify
Harvey Muhammad Hell Yeah!
Harvey Muhamm
Harvey Muhammad already in spotify dude, Tracy Chapman - Fast Car much better in my opinion
Still coming back 2 years later, this is the only place I can find Khalid's cover. Absolutely love it, so soothing.
This song holds a memory of a special time in history....keeps me there
Wow...the Guitarist's nuance is something to be Deeply Appreciated
This is the best cover I’ve heard of this song. Most of the covers lacked… believability if I can call it that. This one somehow sounds sincere and so good… thank you for giving justice to this song. It very much deserves it
100% I was thinking the same. The others lacked sincerity!
how come it is the best when the song arrangement identical from the original song?🙄🙄 check jong madaliday haha
Biebers cover is alright
Bieber blows and Luke combs did good but this is the best cover
Justin Bieber
Man, after hearing so many covers when you simply can't "believe" the lyrics... this one rocks. What an amazing song and what an amazing cover.
Khalids voice just pierces right into my soul
U need a higher taste in voices
+tayokarate like who?
Abeme Elá wonder that too

Lyrics:
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
See, my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
How are there people in the comments saying this is bad? This is incredible. His voice is so unique
Ben Ward My only complaint is he sounds stilted on certain words so it doesn't flow as well but aside from that this is probably the best cover of Fast Car I've heard.
It shows that he has a great signing voice
his voice goes really well with this song
Funny thing is that his voice doesn't go well with his own songs when he performs live.
I honestly don't like any of his songs I've heard, but this cover was awesome.
Man! He owned this song. Keep on singing Khalid.
sounded like Tarzan singing from a tree top.
WTF...
This has got to be the best cover of this song I’ve ever seen/heard
I love Khalid with my whole heart and this is one of my all time favourite songs, what a king
This song is pure magic, it talks about sad things, but when I listen to it, it is like the better pill against sadness. Great cover
This song was a hit when I was a young, dumb and broke high school kid.
See whatcha did there
Best comment ever
cute
Marc Witorsch its still a hit Marc
as a young dumb broke high school kid, i can confirm that this song still hits different
Wow this song just came into the playlist unexpectedly. Beautiful song, reminds me of so much of childhood pain. "Is it fast enough so we can fly away"
I saw him live a few years ago and his voice is so beautiful. One of the sweetest and most genuine people ive ever met
Khalid you are great. So much soul. Keep crushin it.
JEFF!!!! he's a GREAT guitarist!
This gave me goosebumps all over my body
I had chills from the moment his voice started til the last word.
Khalid has such a unique warm voice. Amazing.
I love how he brings a bit of jazz phrasing as well as personalizing the song through some lyric changes.
It's a great song. Doesn't matter who sings it. Thanks Tracy
Guitar is really good
Yeah, played really cleanly and that tone
I mean it's a true copy of a beautiful original not very difficult riff. Anyone with a max year expirience on the guitar can play it. I wish everyone in the world had some music theory knowledge.. Then we wouldn't have so much crap on the charts. Im not talking about Khalid - he is great!
true
This cover by him is also gooood
ruclips.net/video/F1Ztn-hhGfA/видео.html
Props to the guitarist too!
This song means so much to me and I'm so glad he did this cover! His voice is amazing!
me too.... been listening to it most of my life and never fails me
it's also an impossibly sad song
Perfect combination by the beat to the guitarist and his voice, its better than to other cover..
You've got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose

[Pre-Chorus]
You've got a fast car

We've gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So I remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and
I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
[Verse 5]
You've got a fast car
I've got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bars
See more your friends than you do your kids
I always hoped for better
That maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
[Chorus]
So remember when we were driving
Driving in your car
Speed so fast felt like I was drunk

And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulders and
I-I had a feeling that I belonged
And I-I had a feeling I could be someone (be someone)
[Outro]
You've got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You've gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Ella Wills thank u!!
this should get on top all of the comments in here
Ella Wills I thought it was see I remember? Not so
Ella Wills he sings good better then nf rapper
She became like her mom
Tracy chapman smiling right now. Great cover. Kudos
Dj khaled, please give me singing lessons. Your voice touches me and embodies how the song makes me feel. I love it, im in awe

A real artist. Keeps it simple and delivers the words and emotions. Top Shelf!
Even playing this song for multiple times, I still can't get over. Such a great cover. 💪💕
Thank you for your rendition of this song, I hold this very close to my heart and you bought tears to my eyes for all the right reasons. Much respect from Australia!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous cover. Well done Khalid, well done...

This should be available as a track on a streaming service. Same thing with gambinos cover of tamia.
Dapper Dop I agree! Gambino’s version of Tamia is gold. ❤️
Couldnt agree more
They are usually on SoundCloud
You're streaming it right now through RUclips which is a streaming service... also there is RUclips Red. Or you could just download it using RUclips to MP3 converter
Nailed it
Everything Khalid touches turns into gold!
JEFF!!!! he's a GREAT guitarist!
This is actually everything😍😭 Khalids voice is incredible. Definitely one of the best in the music industry at the minute!
This gave me goosebumps all over my body
This song suited Khalid's voice so well it was like the perfect song plus my mate can play this song on the guitar
There is only one Tracy Chapman. Khalid does a good job. The guitarist is outstanding!! Tracy is the best...
This dude is crazy good!...i can't stop searching his music!👌
The cover I didn't know I needed
same :(
Can we all appreciate how impeccable the guitar work on this was? Vocals were tight as well
I've actually played this song about 4 times ....
big ups to the Jeff, the guitar guy . You are amazing
Khalid you are the best man.... I love this version
Brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps. Great redo. Great song.
i wish i could play the guitar like this guitarist 😍😍😍❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏 perfection
Absolutely gorgeous cover. Well done Khalid, well done...
Practice with a metronome and add a lot of vibrato to the chords. It might help to use a lighter gauge of string so you can vibrato easier. That should help👍
i keep coming back here. this cover is just fantastic. his voice is perfect.
He's like the male version of Tracy singing this song.
I used to think Tracy was a man
@@sayujjose7828 Lol me too!
Nightmare 1450 They did...Hence their comment “i *used* to think...” get your eyes checked
Yo
Noooooooooot even. But I definitely appreciate all of his talent
Brilliant! He has such a great voice, Can't get enough of this.
Done the classic justice. Brings back memories being a young boy with the queen bee blasting this out on repeat. Good ole days 💯
I’ve always thought this song was born timeless, but Khalid made me fall head over heels in I’ve with the song. Thank you to Khalid for the absolutely impeccably haunting delivery of this song ️
This is my favorite cover of this song. Gives me goosebumps every time.
One of my favourite songs sung by one of my favourite people at the moment. Love this.
Oh my god I started tearing up immediately thank you Khalid 🙏🙏
I fell in love with this song when I was a kid. 30+ years later and I'm still loving it. Just heard the country version by Luke Combs and I love it.
Tracy Chapman made one of the most hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking songs ever written. This is a lovely cover.
This is the best version I've heard of this song. I was a kid when it came out. He rocked this ! Props
The way he says "better"♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This fit his voice so well and he sounds so good live
so many people have sang this on bbc radio 1 lol but khalid did a great job!!
Tigris 797
It might be because it is such a nice song, plus it has no swear words
Nuha Noor i hope you dont rate songs based on how many swear words there are in it 💕
Tigris 797 but bieber did a really great job, and in half the time too
Ugh just no.
birdy's cover was more melancholic, this one is good though
THIS. IS. BEAUTIFUL.
Yah like like does his own thing and flowed with his natural style and voice. Its a sweet & casually cartharic cover; nicely done!
This NEEDS to be on Spotify!!! Please please PLEASE it’s so good
My favorite song and my favorite artist, this a dream come true
When I first heard his voice I automatically thought Tracy Chapman vibes and to see this is mindblowing.
“Fast Car” is a long time favorite song, you’ve done it complete justice Khalid! Beautiful job, Sir!!! 😍😍😍
This songs remind me of my childhood and my mom. I miss her so much
