I first heard this song when I was 20 year old kid in prison in 2009. I Went in at 17. Got my GED, did a Computing course and got trusty status. Me and 7 other inmates worked at the Kampala Rd Food Bank after completing the Computing course. I fought tears hearing this song on the bus ride at 5am on the way to work and this song still makes me tear up today. face-pink-tears😹

[@be1410all]

Maybe my favourite singer of all time - I worked hard when I was younger and saved up money to buy her music. Tracy Chapman is all heart, soul, talent, wisdom, authenticity, and her blessing and gift to all of us is her ability to tell stories - stories about life, love, sacrifice, inequity, intolerance, cruelty, despair, and hope that reach inside of you and make you think about really important issues and who you are and want to be. LEGEND is an inadequate word for this brilliant human. (Thank you Tracy Chapman for shining your light!)

I’m 78, and have been listening to Trace Chapman since day one. I still remember the thrill of hearing Fast Car for the first time (released as a single in 1988). She brought us eight studio albums and two compilations (Collection in 2001 and Greatest Hits in 2015). She seems to have retired, but her songs are timeless and have no expiration date.

This was her encore performance back then when the original band that should pay there was late or so.

[@AD-ho2dg]

The backstory here is that Stevie Wonder was due to perform but his backing track-CD went missing so he couldn't go on stage. In the meantime, whilst searching for the CD, they wanted someone else to perform a few songs to keep the crowd warm. Tracy Chapman had performed earlier that day for a handful of people and was still hanging around backstage. So she was asked to play again, this time for a full Wembley stadium. No one knows her and everyone's expecting Stevie Wonder. So she steps on stage and starts playing in fornt of 60.000 people. The rest is history. I believe divine intervention occured that day and that our almighty Father made sure the backing track went missing for a while so the world would hear Tracy's voice.

Tracy is a very strong activist on issues that have been a problem to society. Great job, Tracy.

[@Randomaccount9470]

We need more women like this to inspire our lost generation

[@ceciliaramirez8548]

Agreed. New generation need to open their eyes to reality and make music on what is happening now

[@k-ster7870]

Lost generation?

Not that lost though. We use high technologies very well. We try to save the earth and so many things....

I bought her cd back in 1988 and have listened to Tracy ever since. She reaches your soul.

[@lisaknell1809]

That voice still gives me chills. That voice and a guitar and she has the entire stadium in the palm of her hand. Check out “Still I Cry” another not so known song from her but beautiful as well. This woman is so very talented.

[@Sirena860]

Her smile at the end ♡♡♡

[@ICTFORTEACHERS]

I thought I was the only who loved her smile at the end of the video. Simply lovely. Each time I see this video, my eyes well up with tears.

The lyrics are so straightforward and simple…beautifully interwoven. Her voice is extraordinary and gives me chills. I love this song and her performance of it.

[@Gomer1800]

[@pinkypix4762]

This is the definition of pure talent. Just a simple, beautiful performance. No extra, we just focus on her wonderful voice

[@jaxjax3494]

I think she’s beautiful inside and out! Her voice is gorgeous!

[@brutustherwolsi4228]

The thing with this gal is I that like her approach, feeling to life, her anger. She's right. Luv. And the music too I like . Did I mention that she's beautiful?

[@rob8670]

Whoever set the sound for the mic catered perfectly to her voice and the message she was singing. It sounds like its going out to the whole world during the performance. Chilling, really.

[@csheld2419]

Dang. I must have heard this song a thousand times on the radio back in the 80s while out partying with my friends and was always floored with the unbelievably powerful lyrics, strikingly beautiful melody, voice of an angel, and grounding simplicity of a somewhat unknown artist making such a culturally significant and beautiful contribution to the music world with nothing more than a single voice and acoustic guitar, so organic and pure. I could go on but already said too much about someone who would most likely prefer to remain humble and true to the essence of the era and future generations to come.

[@lildebicakes]

Zulu

[@helenegrung5476]

@@mzwandilemzana172 She definitely looks like she has Zulu in her genetic makeup. So beautiful. As a pre teen in South Africa in 1994 her music was balm of golden light. One of my favorite memories ever was walking in PMB central and a young Rasta boy (about 5) and his sister (about 11) were singing anf playing this on their beaten up box guitar sitting on a monument. They silenced all the noise for me. It still gives me goosebumps thinking about it +20 years later.

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. People may hate you for being different and not living by society's standard but deep down they wish they had the courage to do the same.

[@johnkevin7992]

the first part of that statement sounds a lot like it's from Altered Carbon (except it was written two years before the series was released).
