I was too young to remember when this record dropped. It is so powerful and relevant today, I bet that first spin on the turntable back in 1988 was just incredible.
"I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged A grave that's deep and wide enough For me and all my mountains o' things" One of the most powerful lyrics..it put lifes priorities in perspective
If there was any artist I would love to meet in real life , it would be Tracy. .I feel like she is an enlightened being. .Giving the gift of her beauty, her simple profound messages, her music and voice and presence. Her smile .Thank you Tracy. . May you be so blessed
It’s only sad to know that anyone truly great like Tracy must surely have suffered very deeply to come into a state where they can articulate that genius. Wish good art could come from good times.
One of the best commentaries on the divisive, soul corroding nature of materialism. I love you Tracy Chapman and send you mountains of gratitude eternally xxxxx
I worked on a superyacht and listened to this song. It was very poignant. Consume more than you need.... yup. And they keep building bigger ones. The fuel usage alone boggles the mind, let alone the embodied energy building them. Tracy is a goddess!
Just shows you don't need a complicated chord progression to make a beautiful song. Simplicity, spiritful voice and powerful words. Im happy she didn't allow the music industry to taint her beauty.
I adore this woman. she speaks the truth about evil.the way people are today. the millennial ME ME'S who live plastic H P life whilst seeing and abusing others who struggles. God bless you Tracey you speak Gods true words. xxx
One of the best songwriters. Powerful musicality and lyricist. This song makes me despair of humanity, and yet such music redeems us, reveals our potential.
Umm, I'm here to say YES. Ms. Chapman is my old, new, and future Gypsy Treble Clef. Her own original songs have earned my 'reverse tuning fork' accolade. She's a keeper. Nuff said.
I wonder is Tracy Chapman singing about herself, someone else, nobody or everybody ? What ever the answer is, does not change the fact that she is a beautiful person. . . .
I remember listening to Tracey Chapman when I was in grade 4, 1988. I'd borrowed my mum's cassette. I still remember the lyrics to this day. Thanks Mum, you had super taste in music.
So they tell me, there's still time to save my soul they tell me, renounce all, renounce all those material things you gave I, exploiting of the human race. This speaks volume. If I love you one moooooore time TRACY.
i remember listening to tracy chapman - long ago . . . (for the first time) on a cassette player in a car (destined to somewhere i had never been) i remember, then, her songs made me feel - many things . , , thank you, honestly
The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a live of ease And mountains o mountains of things. To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground And have a maid that I can tell To bring me anything Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed I'll revel in their attention And mountains Oh mountains o' things./\/\ I remember how hit was this song bk in a days**** ,
I'm so glad I am listening to your music now! I didn't know about you until a video piped up of you and Eric clapton! I absolutely love that song! Give me one good reason! Don't ever stop singing tracy! There are so more beautiful songs to sing! I would give the world if I could here you sing in person! Beautiful voice tracy!
I grew up with this music the best nothing compares to this type of music you must love music to appreciate this I wish she comes back with this type of stuff
The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a live of ease And mountains Oh mountains o' things To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground And have a maid that I can tell To bring me anything Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed I'll revel in their attention And mountains, oh, mountains o' things Sweet lazy life Champagne and caviar I hope you'll come and find me Cause you know who we are Those who deserve the best in life And know what money's worth And those whose sole misfortune Was having mountains o' nothing at birth Oh they tell me There's still time to save my soul They tell me Renounce all Renounce all those material things you gained by Exploiting other human beings Consume more than you need This is the dream Make you pauper Or make you queen I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged A grave that's deep and wide enough For me and all my mountains o' things Oh they tell me There'a still time to save my soul They tell me Renounce all Renounce all those material things you gained by Exploiting other human beings Mostly I feel lonely Good good people are Good people are only My stepping stones It's gonna take all my mountains o' things To surround me Keep all my enemies away Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a life of ease And mountains, oh mountains o' things I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming...

This song is an underrated piece of genius
We were kids in the 80s and she was gigantic. Such a wise and soulful artist.
She is one of few artists that are better live than their amazing studio versions.
One woman, a guitar, a voice, and lyrics. Captivating
Timeless, will never get any better. Period. ICON.
The esence of música
Just Trancy and her guitar...nothing more....amazing
Tracy Chapman is one of the most underappreciated singers ever. Her songs are simply magnificent.
Adoro dmais
Tracy Chapman is a world superstar everyone knows her who play guitar she is a inspiration for me ,how she plays guitar and sings best ❤️🔥
I was too young to remember when this record dropped. It is so powerful and relevant today, I bet that first spin on the turntable back in 1988 was just incredible.
I think the success of Fast Car overshadowed her other work.

"I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o' things"
One of the most powerful lyrics..it put lifes priorities in perspective

Amen to that.
I agree with you 💯 percent shes definitely special
It’s only sad to know that anyone truly great like Tracy must surely have suffered very deeply to come into a state where they can articulate that genius. Wish good art could come from good times.
I met her after a small show at Northwestern University in Evanston IL. She’s just as beautiful and gracious as you can imagine.
One of the best Songs from her!!! Love her so much💖💖💖
One of the best commentaries on the divisive, soul corroding nature of materialism.
I love you Tracy Chapman and send you mountains of gratitude eternally xxxxx
Katy Ballard beautiful!
Exactly
Man shall not live by bread alone. Matthew 4:4
This song took over somalia in late 80s.
It's part of my soundtrack of life.
Love from Somalia 🇸🇴❤️🇸🇴
at the end of the day the king and the pawn go in the same box. all we have left is our soul x
Still watching this 2020 with all this crap of corona and in quarantine damn old good days... who else be watching this in 2020 April🥰🤟🤟🔥🙌

As a young man i grew up listening to this lady ..her voice is so amazing #love
Raw, beautiful. No one like Tracy ❤
I love this lady,.. her life is beautiful music ♥
Someone name me ONE other artist who sounds as incredible live as Tracy does! She’s so talented 🤩 Love the meaning in this song as well.
This song touched my heart specially when she says "exploiting from other beings "
Maxamed Siraaji Oh yes that line especially touched my heart too ❤️
Just shows you don't need a complicated chord progression to make a beautiful song. Simplicity, spiritful voice and powerful words. Im happy she didn't allow the music industry to taint her beauty.

I Love this song. She is amazing.
One of the best songwriters. Powerful musicality and lyricist. This song makes me despair of humanity, and yet such music redeems us, reveals our potential.
I used to sing this a lot and my son and daughter got it. I actually made it to her show at harvard Square.

This concert was exactly 11 years before my birth, her songs are amazing... These are meaningful and amazing lyrics children!
Tracy m'inspire depuis ma jeunesse et cette façon de jouer la guitare est unique et captivante.
Merci Tracy ❤
Simple down to earth and she can sing songs that are soothing to the soul.
Wwow, I'm awe struck!! Perfect!
Her voice , my emotions.
Simply that simple
I was born 3 months later. Tracy's one of a kind, her sound is so unique. I hope one day I'll get to see her live.
Best thing Ive seen on RUclips. Nuff said. Seen a lot. But nothing comes close. Jesus Christ. The whole set up here is absolutely ridiculous.
i remember listening to tracy chapman - long ago
. . . (for the first time)
on a cassette player
in a car (destined to somewhere i had never been)
i remember, then, her songs made me feel - many things
. , , thank you, honestly
Totally beautiful...angelic...solid performer.
God what i would give to see her liveee! 💔
Tracy chapman is incredible.
The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
And mountains o mountains of things. To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground And have a maid that I can tell To bring me anything Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed I'll revel in their attention And mountains Oh mountains o' things./\/\
I remember how hit was this song bk in a days****

Tracy, I LOVE ❤️ your voice, very talented 🤗💋
The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
And mountains
Oh mountains o' things
To have a big expensive car
Drag my furs on the ground
And have a maid that I can tell
To bring me anything
Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
I'll revel in their attention
And mountains, oh, mountains o' things
Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope you'll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what money's worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains o' nothing at birth
Oh they tell me
There's still time to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things you gained by
Exploiting other human beings
Consume more than you need
This is the dream
Make you pauper
Or make you queen
I won't die lonely
I'll have it all prearranged
A grave that's deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o' things
Oh they tell me
There'a still time to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things you gained by
Exploiting other human beings
Mostly I feel lonely
Good good people are
Good people are only
My stepping stones
It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
To surround me
Keep all my enemies away
Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have
I'll be working for somebody else
Until I'm in my grave
I'll be dreaming of a life of ease
And mountains, oh mountains o' things
I'll be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming...
