Tracy Chapman is an artist who caught my attention right away when she first came on the scene. This song represents my teenage years, and rebellion, and craving that freedom that we imagine exists, but somehow never find. I love to remember that feeling of believing there was an escape from the endlessness that we feel when we're young.

When this song comes on, I drive with the windows down and my hand in the wind.

It's just a sad story.
Let's just go. Let's just get outta here. You need a fast car so you can reach terminal velocity. Kind of like the Space Shuttle. I heard the shuttle was so fast, it could do a minute in 30 seconds. Now that's fast. |

I don't know why, but every time I hear this song it just hits me so deep. It isn't necessarily the music, nor the lyrics, it is the mood. It just touches my heart and digs deep into me. I always forget it exists but then it comes up on my station again and just reminds me of the mellow calmness that is possible.

this is one of the very best songs out there i wish she would do more and i also love "give me one reason" by tracy

I love how the context of this song and Tracy's voice mirror each other. She is by far one of the best storytellers out there. I am touched every time I hear this song.

I wonder if "great lyrics" is one of the features of this song...
I don't know why someone in here described this song as "fun". It's a song about how hard it is to escape poverty. |
