She never got the credit she deserved from the music industry in my opinion. I always loved her music when I was young.

[@LadyIarConnacht]

That indie sound was before its time.

[@TheAndersox]

Definitely. My dad was a huge fan in the 80s and I grew up on her music. I'm always surprised more people aren't familiar with her. She's a master songwriter. "Baby Can I Hold You" and "At This Point in My Life" are my favorites -- they definitely hit me harder as an adult than they did when I was a kid.

[@nikkihatfield2055]

@Alison Eldridge: I totally agree!! She’s is extremely talented and a wonderful, caring person! My good friend in college, oldest sister was Tracey’s roommate in college. They remained friends and she would tell about Tracey sitting on the bed and writing songs and asking her opinion! I always was like, let’s call her, but way too chicken and respectful. Lol!

But the man disappoints her. He never got a job, hung out in the bars with his friends,ignored their kids. She says, get in your fast car and keep going. I will go it alone.

I had never caught that until this listen and wondered if I had imagined it. Thanks for the confirmation!

[@runthemeows1197]

This song isn't anywhere close to the type of music I normally listen to, but I have yet to meet someone who dislikes this song. Regardless of what type of genres they're into. It's such a good song.

[@scoobysnacks]

I think you misunderstood the last verse. She's been wanting to get in his fast car and start a new life with him where they can support each other, but she soon realizes that he is exactly like her father. She's got the job that pays all of the bills. He's unemployed and spends all of his time in the bar. He's not concerned with making their lives better. He's mooching off of her. At the end she'd rather stay where she is because she explained at the beginning that this is exactly the same scenario her parents were in. Since she's got a job that pays the bills and he spends all of his time in the bar, she no longer wants to go anywhere with him. She wants him to take his fast car and get the hell out because he's a loser.

back in the early 90ies I was 6-9 years old and lived in central africa. This was before cd's. the only music I had access to was two cassette tapes I could play on our VW vans casette radio , One was Tracy Chapman. My dad let me sit in the van for hours flipping that casette everytime it reached the end of one side.... She will allways have a special place in my heart and allways trigger alot of memories from an amasing childhood abroad, that formed the very foundation of how I see the world today.

[@CanadianGrown]

What was the other cassette you had??

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

@@CanadianGrown Good question... It was a John Denver casette. I only vaguely remember one track from that one. Somehow it didn't catch my taste the same way...

[@CanadianGrown]

Simon Sørensen oh cool..I love folk/country..I was just curious..It’s interesting that those tapes were playing in a van in Africa at the same time as my house in Canada ✌️

My husband met her in a record store in New Zealand in the 90’s he had no idea at the time who she was, (he has terrible taste in music) he said they chatted about music for 10 minutes and she was super nice. I was so jealous!!

[@taniele84]

@@kb24oc I didn’t know she was gay? I’m just curious and surprised because I remember a guy she was in a quiet relationship with for a while out of the spotlight and he always adored her and never stopped standing up for her and chastising any interviewer that tried diving into their past relationship. People were so fascinated and curious because they didn’t do the publicity sham that so many famous couples do.

Very few artists come about that just hearing the first few notes of a song makes my soul sing "there's my heart." Tracy is one of those artists.

[@vengefulones6435]

This song ranks up with American pie for American folk songs. She should be in hall of fame for this track alone. Completely underated.

[@shade51]

She has given up. Accepted her fate. She once thought she can "be someone." She realizes that she likely never will be. Her guy is kind of a bum. She feels that her dreams are dead. And at the very end, she tells him, "YOU've got to make a decision (not WE anymore). Leave tonight or live and die this way (and she expects to die this way.)" It's a grim but beautiful song.

[@lisamcphee8923]

Father was a bum, ergo she chose a bum. She gives hope her kids will have it different. She has the strength her mother didn't.

Don’t apologize and worry about not knowing about the song and the artist. These are REACTION videos!!! That’s why I subscribe! If people don’t understand the concept of ‘I have NEVER seen or HEARD this before’, then they’re in the wrong place...not YOU! Stop the video if and when you need to. No one should expect you to know what’s coming. This isn’t ‘Psychic Reacts To What He Already Knows Is Ahead’ videos!!! Now that I’ve got that off my chest, let’s talk about Tracy. Along with ‘Give Me One Reason’ (her biggest hit and a great tune), she did a fabulous duet with BB King performing his biggest hit ‘The Thrill Is Gone’. They are so laid back (like two chill pills just grooving the blues,). Check it out sometime. And, again, just keep being yourself. That’s why I subscribe! ❤️

OMG!! Soooo happy you reacted to this, love Tracy Chapman. This is such a lovely song. 😁👍🇬🇧🥰

[@talltulip]

While watching your reaction and more closely paying attention to the lyrics than I ever did before, I just noticed that early in the song, she says "we" ("Is it fast enough so WE can fly away? WE gotta make a decision..."). But later, in the fifth verse, when she talks about how he doesn't have a job, he stays out drinking at night, and is hardly ever home with his kids, she says "So take your fast car and keep on driving." After that, she doesn't say "we" anymore; she says "you" ("Is it fast enough so YOU can fly away? YOU gotta make a decision... "). So, I think this song begins when she's still in high school or maybe early college, and the song progresses in time (first she works at a convenience store, then she's a check-out girl in the market, then has a job that pays all the bills), and by the end of the song, she's no longer dreaming about making a better life with him ("I'd always hoped for better, thought maybe together you and me would find it"). Now, she's telling him that he should just leave, because those dreams are not going to come true. She's got her hands full making a living to pay the bills and take care of the kids, but he's not helping, so it would be better if he just left ("So take your fast car and keep on driving"). This song is so powerful and utterly heartbreaking.
