This just shows how great a song it is. 1988, and a cover in 2016 is number 1... Songs back then actually had lyrics that had meaning and were not just repetitive. Many songs now are just a couple of words repeated. This is real music and lyrics.
Both the original and this remix are incredible. The original is classic, obviously - but this can appeal to the younger generations and it's great to dance to with your friends. Studying music really helped me to appreciate all music.
This was my dads favourite song we used to dance to it all the time and since he passed away three months ago I play this all the time and it helps me to cope I’m 18 years old and my dad meant a lot to me
Look I understand your loss and I'm very sorry for you and your friends family for your loss, but not trying to be mean or disrespectful but that comment isn't really needed on UA-cam because well no one really cares
You don't hear music much these days that hits you emotionally , this does just that . Music is amazing , keep it up JonasBlue . All due respect to Tracy Chapman for this song .
I don't know why there are so many people hating on this re make. As part of the younger generation, before this song came out I had no idea fast car existed. When I heard this I thought "this is such a cool song! I have to add it to my playlist!" So I searched it up and it came up with Tracy chapman. I listened to the Tracy chapman version and knew it was an original this kind man Jonas Blue had acknowledged and obviously loved the song and wanted to share it to the world in a modernised way that he knew people would listen to and research more. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know this song was an original , Jonas is doing a huge favour and acknowledged an amazing song that should be shared one more time. STOP HATING THIS SONG.
It is special, without a doubt. The drop is so calm and causes a euphoria to the minds of those who listen to it, it is danceable and highly sticky ♥ . . Es especial, sin dudas. El drop es tan tranquilo y provoca una euforia a la mente de aquellos que la escuchan, es bailable y altamente pegajosa ♥
just love this song...... So I remember we were driving, driving in your car The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I had a feeling that I belonged And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone Had a feeling that I could be someone .............................
I feel this. I'd say love but honestly? I feel it more than love it, if that makes sense?... It's like a modern-day Fast Car. The piano, breathey vocals, thumping bass & those little sounds as the chorus starts give this cover-song so much emotion imo 💕
You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us outta here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way So I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruising, entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs So I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me'd find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So I remember we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I-I had a feeling that I belonged I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this was
Escuchar esto en pleno 2020 me hace recordar a cuando llegaba de la secundaria encendía la tv en telehit a todo volumen lit y esta canción diario la pasaban, que nostalgia...
They haven't ruined the song but I do agree that the original was better, as the lyrics were made as a story for people to relate to, not for an EDM for teens to dance to

Congratulations, Jonas! For flying high with your version of Tracy Chapman's hit. I'm one who liked it though eletronic/disco music is not my thing. But I couldn't resist the velvet-like appeal of the singer's voice, Dakota. I just fell in love with her voice! You chose right on the spot! And I went to get some info about her, and have found this: Dakota is a london-based blues inspired singer who began her career in 2015 with her rendition of Son’s House track ‘John the Revelator’. Also in 2015 Dakota teamed up with Jonas Blue to produce a cover of Tracy Chapman’s 1988 song ‘Fast Car’ which reached number one on iTunes and became certified platinum in Australia and Sweden. The song is in the top 5 in iTunes charts in 23 countries. Blue chose her for the song ‘Fast Car’ after hearing her sing in the basement of an East London Pub. After hearing her sing he invited her to the studio the next day to record ‘Fast Car’. Dakota is signed with 70Hz Recordings and is currently working with Fraser T Smith. I wish you both good works and successful careeers for the future! Cheers!
i honestly like it more than the original one. i like that too. both are good. its just a little bit better. maybe bcz i have some memories w this one not the first one.
Everytime when I'm listening this song from Antenne Bayern in my car, I shout the lyrics so hard, that pedestrians and other car drivers staring at me weirdly.
You obviously haven't listened to the song fully, or else you're one of those big room obsessed 12 year olds that needs a shitty BOOMBOOMBOOM part to call it a "drop".

just love this song......
So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone .............................
Those lyrics are legendary! Really love the new vocals aswell, fits perfectly with this whole track. Absolutly amazing!!

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
See, my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I-I had a feeling that I belonged
I-I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this was
