I can just feel the raw emotion of the words in her voice... only a true artist can do that to a person. Tracy is truly an awesome and talented musician.
This is an excellent example of a blues song. My music teacher actually showed us this song for us to learn what the blues were, and I instantly fell in love with the song. Love to Tracy Chapman!
DanComedy ....HAJJI YES ..TRACY CHAPMAN .. IS QUEEN OF THE SOUL ..BENDING .. AND SHE HAS A WAY TO PLAY AND SING THAT JUST MAKES. ME FEEL THE BEAUTIFUL. SOUL THAT. COME FORM WITHINONESOWNSOUL.... WOW ..
Amen to that! This song is quintessentially perfect 12 bar blues, and just slow enough that even the beginner can follow along with the chord progression: root, fourth, root, fifth, fourth, root. Exquisite!
Her soulful voice absolutely touches my soul. Tracy is IMHO vastly underrated and one of the best singer songwriters the world has and or will ever know!
TC Has provided many reasons for everyone to continue to live, suffer, and die with humble nobility. Her message has enhanced my understanding of being human Thanks to her.
My mama passed away December 20th 2007 she loved her music 🎶 I always remember her playing this entire album over and over again it never got old! Always reminds me of my mama rip Kathrine O'Donnell aka Kat 💔
This reminds me of growing up in Botswana, Africa. Her first album is like the album of my childhood. I have it in my house unwrapped because it reminds me of my roots and where I come from! It's a shame at the age of 24 non my friends appreciate this amazing lady! Amazing and emotional!
This song was inescapable when it came out. I remember every time I got in the car, almost every station would be playing it. Nice and easy blues tune.
I am not a singer... but I seriously want to sing this in a karaoke bar. For years now... I lack the courage.. but my shower has not booed me off stage yet. :)
I love this song. Tracy is a master vocalist and proves it here in the way that she wraps her voice around the words and gently caresses each note giving an almost spiritual experience to the listener. Beautiful!!! This is what music is all about.
I saw this phenomenal woman perform almost thirty years ago in a beautiful venue in Richhmond Va..shy and quiet...What a show...Humble and Extremely Talented Best Money spent..xoxo
Now this is real music. Lil' Wayne and artists like him, take notes from Ms. Chapman. Remember hearing this song back in the day and it's still just as magic
Favorite song ever. Mom would play it & dance through the house ❤ now shes passed & this song makes me love life again lol Sorry for the mushiness y'all dont mind me 😷😂
We used to listened to The Wave at work, until one day they played Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On'. 1/2 the office started singing, and then there was no music the next day.
I am a student midwife, a woman that i attended her birth was listening to this song, i went home and found this song, still listen to it a year later. Thank you
I remember my parents playing this song when I was a little kid. So glad they exposed me to lots of different music when I was young. I credit them with my wide taste in music as an adult. Signed, a metalhead.
So that's who sings this!!! I literally heard this song a million times but I never knew who sung it. Now I know!!! I know I'll turn right back around. You go girl!!
this is so wrong but so true. she didn't have Model Looks so she lip sync someone else's voice like they do today. I love her voice and the feeling she puts into this. this song also brings back memory's.
Lots of memories.. Me n my dad used to listen to this song while driving in the city at night.. Now that he is no more and every time I listen to this song it brings back those memories..
My father showed me this song when I was a small child but the melody was always in my head, and never thought to look it up in the internet era, but I came across it a few weeks back and felt so relieved when I found out who sang this and the name of the artist. Thanks RUclips
This is simply one of my all time favorites!!! I don't know how ANYONE could listen to this and just not totally feel every note. So much soul in this song. Love it!
Years ago I was a bartender at a kareoki bar, this was the song I learned to open the night! , She made me lots of money and incredible fun as I ruled the roost! Great memories, thank you, Tracy Chapman!!
The feelings that are created by this songs in me are very hard to explain but I'm sure every one who loves this song know what I'm talking about. Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Tracy Chapman :>
Zina Garnier you say we, traveled and if you traveled that far to see me what did we do while you were here. Because quite frankly, I think I would have remembered someone putting that much effort into seeing me.
The melancholy theme struck me. She wants someone to hold her & rock her all night but gets no person after her choice; the one she was linked with, she loved but can't stay anymore...what a reflection, what a presentation! Superb a music. Thanks dear Paul for sharing.
It can mean more than that. Think for a moment if you thought there was nothing left in this world to see. No joy left save for what you once felt. You would feel lost and alone and then you hear this song and know....truly know that you aren't alone. We all feel this.
Melody Neibert Incredibly ......Way More THAN THAT !!! I Am MOVED in SOOOooOO MANY Ways - wow! ....... It's incredible, I'M Sure many other people are ALSO.....OF COURSE, They Are look at History ☺
Brock Albert, I hadn't heard that song first. This was the one I grew up listening to. Even if I had heard "Fast Car" first, I doubt I'd have thought differently. I was around eight or nine...
Deb Stevens on having her baby and I'm a man I love Tracy Chapman she's the s*** I've seen her with a Bob Dylan and Tom Petty and Eric Clapton a Blues Festival and she is the s***
I have been singing & listening to this song since I was 12. Everyone said I sang it great. Now that I'm 41 years old. I still get great complements! !😉😀😍
I used to sing this also beginning back in the 90s when it came out. At karaoke I'd get requests to sing it but I went through a 2 year stage where I sang for hours on end while smoking and drinking and I totally shot my voice to sht.😢 I hadn't drank in 28 years and decided to start again at 55 to try and deal with the physical and emotional pain I was going through bc of a spinal cord injury. I'm sure it's so satisfying to be able to sing it for ppl. You're blessed and I'd love to hear you sing it. Have you ever thought about making a YT short video?
+Lymerance Hiace listen to the music from the late 60's and the 70's. The Beatles, James Taylor, Eric Clapton, Jim Croce, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and many more.
“this youthful heart can love you, and give you what you need… but im too old to go chasing you around, wasting my precious energy” THAT PART!!!! ‼️‼️
Yes!!!
Tracy is vastly underrated. She is one of best lyricists to emerge in the past 30-40 years.
I Aint Arguing Wit Ya
+Deathheads69 when I was a kid thought the same lmao
i think I'm a guy I've always thought i was a guy!!!hmmm?
Agreed
Yep. Thought Tracy was a dude
Still listening 2024. Still introducing her to younger generations. I just played it for my 23 year old bff. I am 64
I PLAYED THIS SONG FOR MY MOMMA BEFORE SHE LEFT THIS SAD WORLD. ILL NEVER FORGET THE SMILE SHE HAD ON HER FACE. THANK YOU TRACY.
What do you admire most about Tracy

THAT..says it all..I agree ❤️
Awesome. Tracy's laid back, almost under-sung style, makes this near hypnotic. Class.
no one does it better. effortless soulful high notes as well
Mark Pointer couldnt have said it better myself!

She makes you connect with her songs.
Her music has helped my relationships with my kids.
God bless you Tracey
Love her voice, so much emotion in her words
I been playing this on my guitar. It's so dang fun to play.
I been pratice it on guitar. And its a blast to play
Fast car, live 👍👌
Love it too ❤️♥️
This song never ever ever gets old. We need Tracy to make a comeback... Where is she?
I just wish she was more visible... The world needs a talent like hers... Everyone should hear it!
Megan Isbell I got the same question. WHERE IS SHE ???👀👀👀
Megan Isbell ... yes we do girl......
She never turned back around

This was me and my wife's song when we were dating. Been married seventeen years now. I guess it worked!
Bawling. I rlly hope you guys are still goin strong:)
Loved Tracy Chapman. Great voice, songs and lyrics, and conveyed so much emotion and feeling. She should have been as big as Adele has become.
+steven cooke and more
+steven cooke why you sayin that like shes dead
+Cave Torcher lol
+Cellar Door Thanks for the save, CD. I would never try to kill off Tracey. I don't know if she necessarily wanted Adele or Beyonce-type fame though
+steven cooke she didn't want it. but it would've happened regardless of what she wanted
What a classic. This will be played 100s of years after we've passed
With out a doubt.
Feb 2023 still listen to it

Still one of the greatest sounds ever, love the locals on this woman and the music she plays just gets me going year in and year out.
Heard this song at work an hour ago while I was on my cigarette break. Fell in love with it the first few verses.

I did too, a little research cleared that right up for me. Guy or girl, it doesn't matter. The music is awesome!

I have to pull over to rock Tracy! She deserves that undivided attention ❤️

Preach it honey! !!! Loved it since it came out! !!!
Deb Stevens on having her baby and I'm a man I love Tracy Chapman she's the s*** I've seen her with a Bob Dylan and Tom Petty and Eric Clapton a Blues Festival and she is the s***
I grew up with this song every thought it was a man .I know she wasn't. She sang with great soul
I have been singing & listening to this song since I was 12. Everyone said I sang it great. Now that I'm 41 years old. I still get great complements! !😉😀😍
I used to sing this also beginning back in the 90s when it came out. At karaoke I'd get requests to sing it but I went through a 2 year stage where I sang for hours on end while smoking and drinking and I totally shot my voice to sht.😢 I hadn't drank in 28 years and decided to start again at 55 to try and deal with the physical and emotional pain I was going through bc of a spinal cord injury. I'm sure it's so satisfying to be able to sing it for ppl. You're blessed and I'd love to hear you sing it. Have you ever thought about making a YT short video?
I have made one of the biggest decisions of my life tonight...and this song, says it all.." he gave me no reason to stay!!
One of my all time favorites ! Love her! Bring on the soul woman !!!!!
She has it all. The whole package as a woman.............
2018 and still rocking through the night with Tracey
We need more song like this, Tracy Chapman is a legend.
