ABSOLUTELY!

The album is sublime. Long drive with dad, Tracy in the CD player. Good times

No doubt!

The background musicians seem so proud to be playing with her. What a beautiful voice.

[@batpudding1742]

i noticed this too! the admiration whilst looking at her

[@DanielGennaro]

For sure

[@kjrey9878]

My thought exactly.

[@mac1975]

Why wouldn’t you? Imagine. She is a genius ❤

[@radbabs2000]

They knew they were in the presence of greatness and being a part of it. ❤

[@DanielGennaro]

I found this by googling “what happened to Tracy Chapman,”. I can’t believe she made this performance wow. I love how’s she pretty reclused and in her own words shy so she refrains from the spotlight. She actually said she never sought out the limelight lol just goes to show when a gift is deep in someone’s soul man is it beautiful. She’s the female Bob marley of our era. Just by way of songs with such heartfelt emotional impact and poetic power to them. I love how she flows with the music so much like it emanates from her

[@HaythamTrueheartH]

Beautifully written ❤🎉

[@amysmith7589]

One of her best heartfelt tunes, perfection

[@trumpstinyhands]

She grew older and more beautiful despite the grey. Remarkable lady ❤

[@Utube-s8m]

She does a song with Clapton too. Give Me One Reason.

[@jimcochrane4679]

An Anglo Saxon Country music singer used her song, because he understood the brilliance of the energy, and sang it. The followers experienced nothing but the truth and energy of the song. They experienced empathy. It’s become a top hit now that a cowboy hat in the club expressed her energy. That’s the story. I am suffering, too. I hurt, too. I want tomorrow to be a better place than the place I am in now. It’s really not that complicated. Tracy is Bitchin’ cool and we want more of her soul displayed in the arena. Courage, Tracy💪🏻

[@Domi2Barlow]

Tracy chapman is a genuine example of pure talent that never went to her head. So very much underrated as a singer / songwriter, don’t make artists like this anymore - she’s exceptional imo

[@lisaknell1809]

Tracy played this song at the Nelson Mandela Birthday Tribute back in 1988. One woman, one guitar and a whole stadium full of people. What a performance and what a talented lady! ❤

[@clarkclarke]

Just watched it again ... So beautiful 🥲

[@zakiahart3919]

Just watched it! How brave she was to do that . One voice and her guitar out there bare like that. What a talent what a gift.

[@thejuggler42]

Legendary songwriting aside, it blows my mind that Tracy's vocals in live performances can be studio album quality, every time. Best folk singer of our generation.

[@BurningBushPedagogy]

Yes exactly what am saying, this even better than the vocals on the album, wow

[@auntisthenes2754]

She got better!

[@jdh4829]

Profound and wakeing up songwriting and deep deep ging lyrics that everyone relates too easily.

[@auntisthenes2754]

@@jdh4829 Not everyone, or they wouldn't vote Bush and Trump ! Just like some "makeovers" (this land is your land by Sharon Jones kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5rJk5-bediGqassi=3kLLB8g5pe07FLmg ) In most cultures, men have tried (with success) to keep us from our talents to better dominate all around them. But we are better healers of the mind and story-tellers. They're better at killing and driving.

[@auntisthenes2754]

@@jdh4829 Not sure about everyone. Everyone SHOULD, but don't. She "bypassed" some languages and talked to something deep too, if you believe if those kinds of things. Classical music does tap into emotions, some instruments too.. She somehow is a pure product of her time. I knew what she sang without knowing what she sang. ( It's a kind of magick in Queen's words). just as she wrote talking about a revolution BEFORE the berlin's wall came down.

[@markusw2915]

She looks the same like 24 years ago , amazing woman

[@Chefbububee]

Amen I totally agree 🙏🙏🙏

[@imamgunanto3685]

It's not just a song It's a message

[@sioncoxall]

Very true

[@teubks]

Timeless, classic, universal storytelling. Amazing music.

[@regscott5545]

Album was gold when it was released thanks to Luke combs for re releasing her to younger people my hope is that younger people realize a revolution is us against our leaders and civil war is us against each other which is exactly what they want remember we're in this together together they want to divide us stay strong and love each other each other Latin definition of government is to govern or to rule the men . Much love ❤️ to all

[@marthalisk303]

It's a masterclass of music with a message.

[@firefighter942]

Wow, what a class act. A song that has lasted the years and seems relevant today.

[@zyxw2024]

I feel my young self taking to the streets like I did in yesterday's gone by. The struggles continue, never ceasing. Revolt/Revolution.

Tracy chapman is a legend, an absolute treasure

[@Nehway]

I just wanna meet her one time. At a chill, plant-draped coffee shop with lots of natural light, talking about feelings and poetry music and her story and mine. Like damn. I wasn’t alive during her rise but she feels like my godmother.

[@frankyzee]

If I hadn't met my wife of 40 years, I would have found a way to propose to Tracy Chapman. What a beautiful human being with the voice of an angel. Feeling blessed to be graced with her music and amazing voice.

[@lindakapp]

This makes me so sentimental for times gone by, yet relevant right now.

[@rangelpl]

what a voice! Her first record was absolutely amazing, really impacted me as a teenager. These songs are part of my life. It's very emotional listening to them again.

[@olaa5534]

I came across Tracy Chapman in 2001 when I was working in Youth Hostel Association (YHA) in London King Cross as a Security guard. One of the best album I ever had and owned.

[@zyxw2024]

Kings Cross. I trust you were fair working as a security guard.

I remember a friend of mine listened to Tracy Chapman's first album and it made her cry - genuinely moving music. So beautiful. She can perform in front of an entire arena, just her, her compositions, her guitar playing and her beautiful voice - and she has them all spellbound. That's talent.

[@jamnmikefx]

[@TracyChapman-thecomeback2024]

And she appears again after years to brighten our eyes. A crowd around the world was waiting for this return, but we know it will be in her own way and at her time, because Tracy Chapman is far above our vain will. Her songs are not current but they are Truly what the world needs to hear in these days where the fight for freedom comes down to what the powerful think and put into practice as laws, as if all we need are their opinions. Let us praise the beauty and purity of this woman while we still have the opportunity. I love you Tracy Chapman.

[@SisterFromAnotherPlanet]

I actually feel those songs could have been written today, sadly. They are timeless

[@TracyChapman-thecomeback2024]

Have been binge watching on KZbin her different interpretations of this song over the years. Only getting better 👍👍👍👍

[@ellenanderson2793]

This song came to mind for me last year in 2020 and continues appropriate today. I hold songs in my heart. They surface especially when their lyrics and emotions apply to current challenges. I believe the "Revolution," from peace loving Tracy Chapman, is talking about a peaceful revolution, one that will bring about social justice, human heart core needs being met, and a wave of understanding for everyone about the responsibility, persistence, and urgency that's needed now. It's time for the ugly vanity, misuse of power, and hatred towards others to be called out. I agree we need a revolution=MAJOR CHANGE to ensure the survival of the Good & Beauty that is the planet Earth & all of its people we are fighting for right where we live.

[@mac1975]
