Hey UA-cam... it’s me again 😀, could you please stop turning off my comments so I can talk to my people please? THANKS (so sorry for the trouble everyone)
Wow!! I thought you shut down the comments on Minnie Ripperton reaction. Why would they shut down the comments? Probably some over zealous mod? By the way, I did a little bit of reading about Ms. Ripperton's song 'Loving You' and it is about her daughter Maya Rudolph the Saturday Night Live tv show star. Just thought you might want to know that.
@@victorduffany7723 I’m not sure what’s going on whether it’s a glitch or something because I’ve never had this issue before & yeah it’s such a beautiful tribute to her daughter 😭💗
I was using my cell and saw that too, and almost cried ! Wha?? whyyyyeee ??? lol Glad you/we back ;D
@@sueachoo2054 thank you 😭💗💗
Hay Liz ..just heard a song ..like to share it with you ..SHHANE ERIKS ..LOVE WILL KEEP US ALIVE. ..well I like it
.
Tracy Chapman fast car, breaks me every time. Simply perfection.
When this hit the radio, it blew everyone away. No one had ever heard of her.
It was a surprise back then because it was 80s pop and rock and she blew everyone away with this, far far ahead of her time
I thought it was a man for like 20 years lol
Thank you for truly listening and reacting, letting the song breathe, taking it all in. I also love your refreshing way of talking gently into the mike, no fake youtuber enthusiam, no torrent of unnecessary words, just keeping it thoughtful and genuine. So glad I found this channel.
This song always makes me cry. Hits hard.
Tracy has been my favorite singer since I was 14. Im 44 now. It makes me so happy to see young people listening and reacting to her music. Btw, Khalid does a cover of this and it's awesome.
Thank you so much 💗🙏🏾 and I heard it recently it was amazing!
Heart wrenching song, beautifully written and performed by Tracy Chapman!
We look nothing alike, & yet I feel like we were two twins nodding our heads, going back to the FIRST time heard this song. Strong. Visceral. internal. Soulful. That's Tracy.
One of my all time favorites. Tracy is such a unique talent, never disliked one of her songs.
Love Tracy Chapman. Such a beautiful voice
Your comment about it sounded as if she was rapping and singing at the same time was very interesting. I had never thought of it that way, and I think she might have preceded rap, but she is definitely a great storyteller. Anyway, thanks for an interpretation of her vibe that I had not thought of before!
Thank you so much 💗💗
Every time since it came out "Give Me Just One Reason" has come on when I was trying to decide to stay in a situation or leave and I took it as a sign. Always the right choice.
Love this song too!
Not many songs bring a tear to the eye for me but this one always does.
It's a good idea to have tissues nearby when first hearing Tracy's lyrics. She's amazing and brutally honest.
For example: Behind the Wall
This is a beautiful song her voice is unique. This song is real we can all relate to struggle 😢
The story is she was playing on the side stage of a big concert at the wembley stadium (forget who's concert it was) anyways, the main artist was having problems of some sort. They needed someone to stall the crowd a little bit so they had this girl who hadn't even put out an album come from the side stage with a few dozen people to sing on the mainstage with thousands of people listening in the audience. She sang this song and absolutely blew the crowd away. It's on UA-cam though if you wanna watch it.
I recommend "Baby Can I Hold You Tonight." IN fact, there's a live version where she performs it with Luciano Pavarotti! Also-- did you know she and Alice Walker (author of The Co.r Purple) were an item for quite awhile? TAlk about a dream team ....
I saw her live in Oakland, Ca in 1988, I was 15yrs old, there's a clip on her performing this song at that concert, and believe it or not, she's actually better live....you might wanna check that out....✌🏻
That’s amazing!
Love this song! So big when it came out. This can be a tear jerker.
This song has always hit me in the heart. Liz, I just found your channel today and I'm in love. You're humour, compassion and intelligence shines right through the camera lens.
Thank you so much 💗🙏🏾
This song is an absolute masterpiece
I can't listen to this song without crying. Find this whole album. It's a masterpiece
Heart rending - the story of millions across the globe. Very talented Tracy Chapman
I enjoyed your reaction 👏🏽. And the respect you gave to the work. Tracy Chapman is a genius storyteller. And yes: her voice is wonderful 👍🏽❤
Thank you so much 💗🙏🏾
Great song ♥
Indeed 💗
this song keeps making me cry
I think a quite a few artists were influenced by Tracy and for good reason. She a such a great talent. It's funny you mentioned rap music because I used to say this song was like 'melodic rap' to me. No such genre except for this song. lol.
I remember her being discovered in Harvard Square when I was living in Boston. I had just moved there on a crazy whim leaving UC Berkeley when I was just 19. She was someone I looked up to cuz she made her own way much like I was trying to make my own way. Love this woman. Thanks Tracy for giving me the courage to push ahead as a very young man.
Always loved the story telling with this song and how she gets so much out of the phrase fast car. I love how she uses it to outline part of her initial attraction to the guy, how its used to underline her overall need to escape the kind of life she's lived and her parents have lived, then how it becomes a symbol of how she's gotten herself trapped in a dead end with the guy, and then ultimately represents her decision to leave him and still try to elevate herself to a better life. Really strong lyrics there.
The moment I heard "Behind the Wall" I knew I was listening to a genius. It take a great songwriter who can write such a powerful song for a soul voice and what a voice. I fell in love with this woman's voice and have had that love affair ever since.
remebr whn she exploded onto v music scen, she was so differnt 2 v other music at v time mid 80s, she realy stood out, kinda reminded me of v great singer songwriters of v 70s. her honest n open writing was refreshing, quite a talent.
A real class conscious song.
She's such a great artist and still going strong! Thanks for this!
Thank you 💗 and she really is
TRACY CHAPMAN "MOUNTAINS O' THINGS"
yeha i spoted v emotional reaction-sweetie!
Such an amazing talent so underrated thanks for the review shes got a terrific catalog ck it out kindest regards
This song is an absolute heartbreaker. Tracy Chapman is a great talent. And I think Khalid is fantastic! You''re right, the emotion he brings (or maybe the emotion he evokes in the listener) is similar to this, even if the genres are different.
It really is! & yeah I feel like they both have those voices that really pull at you and bring out your emotions
@@lizziethegangsterhippie9291 he did a copy of that song
You have a nice and pleasant voice !..in my top 3 favorite songs
The best song EVER!
IMHO this it TC's best song.
2021. We gotta make a decision. Leave or live or die this way...!!! Wow what lyrics about life....Love your reaction, girl. Keep up the GR8 work..😎💥
Good point 💗 thank you so much
Great song ,amazing reaction your the bestLiz Tracy is cool folk singer.
Liz I have a fast car.......So let’s GO!!🚗
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it 🥰💗 & let’s go!
I have always loved tracy she is a genius and yes this song is moving
Great song 🎵 loved your reaction!
I also really enjoy when the artist tells a meaningful story through song 💛👍🏼
Thank you 💗🙏🏾 & I really do too
Liking the storytelling in this ,one will enjoy the folk song era of the 60'-70's ,,,
I remember in early 1990 I introduce some chinese students in Inner Mongolia province to that song and others on the album. It was interesting to see their first reactions...
You are a beautiful soul!
To me, Tracy is the female equivalent to Harry Chapin in the song writing level of excellence
Nice analogy
I think Harry would be flattered. We lost him waaaay too soon.
Love me some Tracy Chapman .. yes yes i do .. its like livin her story with her
Exactly 💗
Thanks for your kind response I removed the post so no one would miss understand and it seemed negative. But once again thanks for taking the time to respond. I subscribed (smile)
Thank you 💗🙏🏾 I appreciate it and thank you for understanding where I was coming from
Loved your reaction to this magnificent song by Tracy Chapman. You might enjoy Annie Lennox/The Eurythmics. Take a look at _Sweet Dreams_ and some of Annie's solo work such as _A Thousand Beautiful Things_ . 🖤
I’ve grown up listening to this song. I’ve never understood it, but I could so relate to the tears in your eyes❤️
It's Tracy telling the true story of her father who was an alcoholic. Her mother left him. Tracy gave up school to look after him, then she (as so often happens) repeated the pattern by sadly ending up with a man unworthy of her, who she hoped she make a new life with, but who treated her just the same. Letting her do all the work to pay the bills; her hopes of a different future slipping away from her, until she realises and finally asks him to leave... 🥺🖤
Thank you 💗💗
Wow 🥺
@@221b-Maker-Street Thank you so much for explaining that so well! I was sitting here thinking how to explain the true meaning of this song and you did it so well, better than I could have! So many people who react to this song miss the point that she's in a cycle until she breaks it by telling him to get in his fast car and leave.
It's easy to miss I suppose. I remember hearing this song when it came out, it got a lot of air play as did her song "Give Me One Reason".
She's a wonderful songwriter and storyteller.
Thanks again.
@@221b-Maker-StreetWhile the song may be about her parents, the song is not in part about Tracy giving up school to look after her father. She graduated from both high school and college. Tracy has given a few different possibly meanings to this song in interviews. Notably one in 1996 and another in 2010. In the 1996 interview, she says that at the time, she wasn't sure who she wrote it about and then looking back on it years later, that she thought it might be about her parents' relationship. In the 2010 interview, she talks about writing being in ways an autobiographical process and sometimes not as much and 'Fast Car' is not directly autobiographical. The information can be found on the 'About Tracy Chapman' website.
When music came from the heart... and meant something, told a story.. felt the singers pain.
This song makes me grateful for music. It's one of my favorites.
The Promise is another one of her great songs.
You might want to check out Tracy's song Gimme One Reason, or I'll Stand By You by the Pretenders.
Great reaction 😊
Thank you 💗💗💗
She has a lot of great songs
Please check out her song "Bang, Bang, Bang" it speaks to so much of what is happening in America!
Solid tears
this is a fast car🚒.😂🕊️
Don't know what it is about this song, maybe some deep memory from when it came out, but it gets me crying every time.
It definitely pulls at your heartstrings
Times have changed: People made fun of the way she looked! Can you imagine? I'm an old, white straight lady, and I thought she was gorgeous the moment I saw her.
If u haven't heard it I might give a listen to talking about a revolution and five me one reason thanks for reaction
Love the song 🥰
Same 😭😭
Check out "First Try" from Tracy, and you will be amazed, so beautiful.
React to “telling stories” by Tracy chapman
This made her an instant star. After all the meaningless pop crap the 80s fed us, we were ready for substance.
just a very sad song. she is a wonderful singer. you should try Rickie Lee Jones - her songs jump and hop.
It's a very emotional song with poignant lyrics. It's okay to tear up.
you're soothing voice!!! aaaaaaah
Thank you 😭💗
Have a listen to Joan Armatrading - Love and Affection, I think you'll love it.
React to Corinne Bailey ray three little birds .looks like your style
Check out any songs at all from House of Lords and bad 4 good
Great song one of a kind voice ck out give me one reason or remember the tin man by her
Nah. You knew that sudden end was coming you heard this before. When I first heard this I thought what a weird mix. african and western pop and wasn't sure if she was a guy or girl.
Because UA-cam shows the end cards and that’s how you know the video is coming to an end. I don’t have any reason to lie. You must be new here.
Please react to "Give me one reason", to stay here, by the beautiful Tracy Chapman.
Could you react to Suzanne Vega "Luka?" Thanks
I love that song omg 😭😭😭
You're gorgeous as is Fast Car...
Khalid covered this. You should see it!
Requesting a song by Chris Stapleton..WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO..
Damnmit OUCH MAKE A TRACY GO ME FUND!
Volume is very low on phones
When you were describing the chapters she was singing about ai think you may have missed the last one... first she believed in him... then she was paying all the bills, then he was drinking and never home and the last one she tells him to straighten up or take his fast car and leave.
I remember listening to this when it was first released.Such a great song and unique artist.
I just found your channel today.watched a few of your reactions.you seem to have a beautiful soul.a few songs that I my favorites maybe you could react to
Blue October The Feel again(stay)
Evanescence The End of a Dream live
James Blunt Monsters
Thank you 💗💗🙏🏾 and I’ll check them out!
"I quit school. That's what I did". Hurts my heart every time
Exactly. You know where this story is headed at that point.
@George Olsen
Whoooosh!
Me too ❤❤❤
Body too old for working, body too young to be looking like this - that hit´s me hard.
One of the greatest songs ever written. I never stop tearing up no matter how many times I hear it.
I know what you mean. It pulls on the heart strings
Right? All these years later, and I'm still bawling when I hear this.
It was beautiful to watch you react to this, knowing what was coming. I saw her play this at a rock against racism gig in London, the year it came out.
Thank you 😭💗
Tracy chapman is pure genius. Her song writing and the way she delivered her songs was and still is unmatched IMHO. Extreme contrast from this modern era. Huge tracy chapman fan, always have been and always will be
Give a listen to her "Baby Can I Hold You." There's a great live version out there.
"First time hearing" Oh shit, I'm about to watch this girl take a hit.
Tracy touches so many souls with her songs!
Her entire album New Beginnings" is amazing. She's a fantastic songwriter and captivating singer
NB is one of the greatest albums most people have never heard.
@@stevemadrid6522 Maybe people today, but not when it was released. 'Give Me One Reason' was everywhere at the time. The album went 5x platinum in the US as well as gold and platinum (sales amounts are different depending on country to determine g & p status) in several other countries. It was nominated for several Grammy's and won one.
I'm an old man and I did tear up🤔🎸
I don’t blame you
Leave tonight or live and die this way.... that line reminds me of all my missed opportunities, guess I'll die this way....
The 80s are filled with golden nuggets hidden amongst all the royalty of the music of that time. It was a kaleidoscope of culture and sound that affected everybody. As a person who grew up going to bed hungry at times this song hits me in the gut. I also grew up with religion being shoved down my throat so REM's song" Losing my religion" also had meaning for me despite the fact that song may or may not be about that subject. Love the react...peace to all.
Oh yeah, Tracy actually sang this song for Nelson Mandela when she went to see him. Pretty cool!
That’s so dope
Did not......she sang the song over there it was already out. How old are you I was there when she first came out.
@@arnoldjones5517 She was invited to be part of the celebration of Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday, and she performed this song as part of that event. Up to that point, the song had done modestly well; after that, the exposure caused its popularity to reach new heights.
Not gonna lie this song gets me feeling very emotional crazy how good it is
Lizzie, you'll love Joan Armatrading, who paved the way for Tracy. Try Joan's "Love And Affection"- ua-cam.com/video/oag3I4VRXyM/v-deo.html or "Show Some Emotion". One of the few artists I've gone to see perform twice. Amazing singer and songwriter.
Tracy's a gem.
Observe her songs.
She's a part of America
nobody wants to talk about.
Peace on earth.
30 years ago already. Imagine now. The rich men north of Richmond....
This entire album (her debut) is a masterpiece. There are other amazing tracks on some of her other albums (she hasn't released one in over a decade) like "Born to Fight" and "All That You Have is Your Soul" that will move you in many ways.
