    This was always one of my favorite songs of all time, but it has taken on new meaning and purpose in my life with the passing of my partner of 20 years this past March after a brief but brutal battle with lymphoma. For anyone who has lost someone special in their lives, the promise--and hope--of seeing them once again in another place and time when it's our turn to transition can get you through some very dark and lonely times. This song cuts to the very core of that longing. It's transcendent.

    A girl and her guitar. 100% simple. 100% pure talent. This, my friends, is what real music looks like.

    My mom finally made her passing in June after a long journey with Lewy Body Dementia. I played this song during the 12 days at her bedside while she was fading away from this dimension as I held up my promise to help her end her life. Thank you Tracy Chapman for your gift.

    I played this over and over after my dog escaped the backyard, got hit. RIP, spliff; can’t wait to see you again in heaven.

    On February 9th 1990 watching Tracy sing this in concert live in Australia I bawled my eyes out to this song. It had always been a favourite of mine and my husband’s. That night was the first time I had done anything social since he had passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at age 28. My friend took me to the concert and it was amazing because I’m a huge Tracy Chapman fan but boy oh boy this beautiful song took on new meaning for me that night and to this day it still makes me cry. Thank you Tracy for your beautiful words that allow us to let go of our emotions now and then, you helped me navigate grief as a young widow with the raw and real song.

    "Where all my journeys end" some art touches something very deep.

    Can't believe (I sure can, who am I kidding) I'm playing this as lullaby for my newborn daughter in 2021. Have loved this song for over a decade.

    After my partner passed in 2009, I found a CD in his car with this song on it. I listened. I wept. He remembered. I knew he was still with me…and the some day I would find my way back to him. ☮️💕🙏

    Heartfelt song for me today. My husband passed 14 years ago. This song/ lyrics always resonated with me since his passing on. 🕊️🤍🌻

    A friend shared/sang this at the funeral of his wife who died way too soon. So beautiful, such a tribute. Thank you Tracy for giving my friend and all of us a few words to help us sing our friend home.
