Dear Tracy, About a year-and-a-half ago, I unexpectedly lost my brother. My brother was a writer and a great story teller. As the boat, on which the funeral was kept, sailed away, this song played through the speakers. Telling, in my own interpretation of the lyrics, the story of my brother. Despite our tears, my mother and me danced and reminisced about my brother to your music. Leaving a little happy memory on the saddest day of my life. Thank you.
Auke de Peuter I just read what you said and heard this amazing song. I am sorry for your loss and it was nice you and your mom dancing. cherish that all ways. I know your bro was a good man. Be well you'll see him soon. but not yet. Enjoy life. peace to you
Somehow this song got me out of a small depression. Someone told lies about me and the line ‘sometimes a lie is the best thing’ got me out. The lie opened my eyes to see i was in a bad environnement. Thank you miss Chapman.
Anyone else here thinks this storyteller Tracy Chapman’s voice still transcend time? !! Still a classic for me. Her humility, her song narratives and her overall rawness to capture the essence of life!
Here's the thing; I love Tracy Chapman as a musician,as a person.If everyone in the world possessed her compassionate nature this world would be as beautiful as it was meant to be.
Her smile is magic. If she smiled at me, I'd probably start grinning from ear to ear without knowing why. I'd just have to smile. Another thing I just realized though is that she is not usually wearing makeup, if ever. She's just a real person.
kutty Joe...right. Never make up, beautiful smile plus I mentioned, first video I've seen or even a clip where she dances...and i"'be been a fan for 20+ years! Awesome musician! That's not even enough credit in those words. :)
Chère Tracy, tu es l'incarnation de la compassion, de la gentillesse et de la beauté! Tu es la meilleur artiste que j'ai entendu et de loin, ton talent et ton authenticité nous donne une leçon de vie, repare les coeurs brisés et empli ma maison d'anges merci d'être tel que tu es..
One of my absolute favorite artists of all time. I love the stories that she tells, the rhythm, the beat, the calmness in her music. Just great music. 🎶 🎼 🎸 🎹 🌟 ⭐
This song is one of my favorites by her!!! It holds SO much truth when it comes to the way society views individuals based on stereotypes and prejudice. LOVE this song!
Tracy Chapman, a true gift and inspiration...we, the community of awakened individuals who HEAR you and your message to humanity, we miss your artistic presence. Continue to be blessed on your life's journey.
Tracy, I know u saved so many of lives back in the day 💕 Thank you!! Yet this new generation (my child now 14 years old) need to hear your prior songs live! Plus maybe 1-2+ new ones. . xoxo ❤
This song was ahead of its time, or was waiting for its time to be born, it's a song meant for Facebook and Twitter and all of our abstract emotional surrogate machines that pass for fake intimacy these days. Such a powerful song.
Awesome! I remember the first time I heard this song and then learning how to play it on guitar. It's not that hard, but who can sing like Tracy Chapman?
Absolutely LOVE this tune! The lyrics & melody are both beautiful. Sometimes a particular lyric stays with you. In Telling Stories, it's "In my spaceship, I am laughing."😀♥️
i spent some years underwater, deep underwater, and here you are, as i rise up, the last of my air, carbonating the sky, as i rise. taking a tour through your music linked into where i was and where i am going to. xoxo thank you for your art.
Tracy Is One The Queens Of Lyrics There is fiction in the space between The lines on your page of memories Write it down but it doesn't mean You're not just telling stories There is fiction in the space between You and reality You will do and say anything To make your everyday life seem less mundane There is fiction in the space between You and me There's a science fiction in the space between You and me A fabrication of a grand scheme Where I am the scary monster I eat the city and as I leave the scene In my spaceship I am laughing In your remembrance of your bad dream There's no one but you standing Leave the pity and the blame For the ones who do not speak You write the words to get respect and compassion And for posterity You write the words and make believe There is truth in the space between There is fiction in the space between You and everybody Give us all what we need Give us one more sad sordid story But in the fiction of the space between Sometimes a lie is the best thing Sometimes a lie is the best thing Oh the best thing Is the best thing
#TRACYCHAPMAN #TELLINGSTORIES Tracy is a music icon. A woman with tremendous compassion and love for her fellow human. She speaks the truth, as unpleasant as it can sometimes be 🙂👍👍👍🎸🎹🥁🎸💖❤️💜💛💚🧡💝
This song has inspired my entire art show that I will present at Craighead Green Gallery on 5/17/2014. Thank you so much Tracy. I absolutely love YOU and your music. Absolutely amazing.
still so emotional after years!!! thanks Tracy! I have to thanks my oncle for that Noel present he gaved to me.. so emotional!!! I didn't know you at all before!
I feel guilty for not realising what a great artist, and songwriter, and appreciation Tracy Chapman is,and continues to be in 2020, i think she speaks to many people, and continue to do so, and be made aware that she was discovered by accident, (was she really a filler during live aid???,) it cannot be. I applaud/respect Miss Tracy Chapman. P,s,my hope is to see her in the UK. Derek.
Thankyou to my Dad for introducing me to your music and thankyou for making such beautiful and meaningful songs, that in most cases have alot of relevance in todays world. I will be sure to pass your music and your legacy onto my kids. A talent that will nevet be lost. God Bless Tracy💚
This song was part of my mother's favourite mixtape back when I was a kid. We always listened to it in the car, I totally forgot about it. So beautiful.
Always liked this song a lot. It didn’t get the airplay it deserved. I checked and it didn’t even make the Hot 100 in the USA. Not surprised though. The good songs tend to get forgotten.
As soon as the words hit I started crying. I haven't heard this since I was a child, yet her "Fast Car" is my favorite song. Chills 😭 Thank you for bringing back my innocence if only for a moment 💖 2020
Cette chanson est magnifique, sa voix me transporte . J avais 18 ans lorsque la chanson est sortie, 20ans après elle fait partie de mes chansons préférées que j écoute en boucle. Merci🇫🇷, thanks Tracy
Right from the moment I saw here in the Wembley stadium broadcast with her guitar and her incredible voice, fragile and strong at the same time, I fell in love with her music. I never had the chance to visit one of her concerts, but hope is the last to die. Come on Tracy, please do a world tour and come over to Cologne, Germany :-) I'll be there

Beautiful story.
So sorry for you're los if you have roblox you can follow me and friend me I'm a good friend and always cheer people up fast
I wish she would read this
Auke de Peuter awww
Somehow this song got me out of a small depression. Someone told lies about me and the line ‘sometimes a lie is the best thing’ got me out. The lie opened my eyes to see i was in a bad environnement. Thank you miss Chapman.
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤ yesss facts 💯
It's my favorite song from Tracy Chapman. She sounds as great today as she did 35 years ago. ❤
Love it !!
Idem !
It’s always been incredible to me that this is not everyone’s favorite song!!!
I think Tracy Chapman is the best female artist from 80s up to date.
Same
90s?
I'm agreeing for that respond 👍❤
Yes
sensacional mano
Most underrated singer/songwriter ever
She's not underrated among true fans
Thank you Tracy for being so beautiful my life is so far away but I can come here to find
❤
Anyone else here thinks this storyteller Tracy Chapman’s voice still transcend time? !! Still a classic for me. Her humility, her song narratives and her overall rawness to capture the essence of life!
Tracy Chapman rarely releases music, but when she does it’s WELL worth hearing!
She is arguably the best composer and music writer I ever heard ✌️
Love you Tracy.
I am 47 and unfortunately never got to see her live. I would give just about anything.....
I just love the artistry in this video. Certainly reminds me of my bus riding days and encountering all the folks you usually wouldn't see.
This song is a masterpeice! The lyrics, her voice, the music, just beautiful, amazing!
And so relevant to what we are now seeing.
Up until today, I never heard nothing like it...For someone who usually listens to metal only, this women will always be my favourite singer.
Come back Tracey, the world needs you more than ever...
This song could absolutely be about the media and news
CNN lies deliberately
I think it is, they try to call her narrative and this is her speaking out and addressing it
Nope. It's about alice walker. She dated tracy for 2 years in the 90s and outed as a lesbian as well.
Same alice walker that wrote the color purple
This song has helped me through some of the darkest and most painful days of my life, and will continue to do so. Thanks Tracy....you give me hope.
Tracy Chapman is one of my friends pillars. She has made me feel strong. When I was weak. No gods only music.
Thank you for recognizing her talent she deserves all the awards this girl is legend❤
Here's the thing; I love Tracy Chapman as a musician,as a person.If everyone in the world possessed her compassionate nature this world would be as beautiful as it was meant to be.
Omg this takes me back to the 90s immediately. I always loved Tracy Chapman's music. I feel she was so underatted for her time.
Still is:(
She was not, many people around the world loved and appreciated her music
I'll never know how this song didn't hit the hearts of every human being on the face of the planet!!
It hits mine for sure
Her smile is magic. If she smiled at me, I'd probably start grinning from ear to ear without knowing why. I'd just have to smile. Another thing I just realized though is that she is not usually wearing makeup, if ever. She's just a real person.

She's stunning.
She's inside out and beautiful.
She is really amazing, Love her music.❤️🌈

Tracy, wherever you are at present, you are present here in my study room...I cannot stop listening to this compassionate song
What a beautiful and soul touching song..!
This is one of my favorite songs.
Mine too.
...Give me one reason...😂
My favorite song is baby can i hold you
I NEVER get tired of listening to tracy.❤
I can't describe what she means to me. This so is so special to me.
I know I have good taste in beauty. Tracy's beautiful. Love her dimples when she smiles.
I love this song. The whole album is great!
Damn she's good!
One of my absolute favorite artists of all time. I love the stories that she tells, the rhythm, the beat, the calmness in her music. Just great music. 🎶 🎼 🎸 🎹 🌟 ⭐
Where is Tracy Chapman? I love her so much
semi- retired....a shame, so much talent, bright light in this world....IMO
This song is one of my favorites by her!!! It holds SO much truth when it comes to the way society views individuals based on stereotypes and prejudice. LOVE this song!
Andie Wandie Seriously, there is si mich depth to this song.
Agree!!!
After all these years, I still love this song. I think this might well be the most perfect (yeah, yeah, I know) music video ever made.
She wrote this mean-ass song about Alice Walker, and I love her for it, and I envy Alice Walker for being raw enough to rile Tracy Chapman.
I just discovered this too! Adds an extra layer to the song for me.
What? No way!
What! Who is Alice walker?
@@AbA-bi5dzomg
Alice walker wrote the color purple
The greatest writer and artist of all time.
That might actually be Gordon Lightfoot. But Tracy is amazing.❤
I remember listening to this album when I was 16 years old and suddenly realising that I loved every single song on it. Such a rare talent!
What a great artist. I heard and loved her songs decades ago, but this one made its way into my rotation. Amazing
Namibia loves Tracy...Your songs have carried hope in our quest for our Independence. Love you.
I love this song so much the lyrics are so profound
When the heart and the soul decide to sing together...
Well said!
Tracy Chapman, a true gift and inspiration...we, the community of awakened individuals who HEAR you and your message to humanity, we miss your artistic presence. Continue to be blessed on your life's journey.
Tracy, I know u saved so many of lives back in the day 💕 Thank you!! Yet this new generation (my child now 14 years old) need to hear your prior songs live! Plus maybe 1-2+ new ones. . xoxo ❤
Nobody had anymore soul than Tracy Chapman..She's amazing.
This song was ahead of its time, or was waiting for its time to be born, it's a song meant for Facebook and Twitter and all of our abstract emotional surrogate machines that pass for fake intimacy these days. Such a powerful song.
great comment!
+James Diaz Ur and Ur comment is only James Joyce indeed
And here I thought it was about my ex.
+Ben Weaver is this ben from morecambe
Very thought out comment, nice.
Love her voice, the soul in every story she sings. Been a big fan for many long wonderful years.
Esta canción tan linda, la pongo a todo volumen cuando estoy en carretera.
I can only imagine what inspired this song. Such a wonderful work.
It's about her relationship with Alice Walker.
Omg. I remember when my first marriage was breaking down I listen to the song over and over.
Totally wonderful talented performer. Saw her live in Toronto absolutely amazing 👏 😍 ❤
Awesome! I remember the first time I heard this song and then learning how to play it on guitar. It's not that hard, but who can sing like Tracy Chapman?
come on, you can do it.
Joan Armatrading
indeed, she is unmatched. I am learning some of her songs as well but as you said 😁
Tracy Chapman can sing like Tracy Chapman. That's about it.
Hard doesn’t make a good song though does it, often less is more. She didn’t need to show off.
Tracy Chapman's music also touches the heart in a wonderfully melanchonic way that very few artists can. 🧡💛💚
Absolutely LOVE this tune! The lyrics & melody are both beautiful. Sometimes a particular lyric stays with you. In Telling Stories, it's "In my spaceship, I am laughing."😀♥️
She's so talented.
i spent some years underwater, deep underwater, and here you are, as i rise up, the last of my air, carbonating the sky, as i rise. taking a tour through your music linked into where i was and where i am going to. xoxo thank you for your art.
One of the best songs in the world , amazing !
I have always loved that song. Tracy is a gifted story teller. 💗
I first listened this song 20 yrs ago
Still sounds the same. What a song!
Tracy Is One The Queens Of Lyrics
There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesn't mean
You're not just telling stories
There is fiction in the space between
You and reality
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life seem less mundane
There is fiction in the space between
You and me
There's a science fiction in the space between
You and me
A fabrication of a grand scheme
Where I am the scary monster
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
In my spaceship I am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
There's no one but you standing
Leave the pity and the blame
For the ones who do not speak
You write the words to get respect and compassion
And for posterity
You write the words and make believe
There is truth in the space between
There is fiction in the space between
You and everybody
Give us all what we need
Give us one more sad sordid story
But in the fiction of the space between
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Oh the best thing
Is the best thing
2023 and still makes you nod your head and FEEL what she really was about, LEDGEND! Many a night in jail she brought me SANITY love Tracy❤️
Is a legend, just not released since o7/08
This is my favorite Tracy Chapman song, powerful lyrics.
One of the things I learnt growing up, cleaning up on a Saturday Morning is, "Sometimes a lie is the best thing"
Ela é maravilhosa demais

Wonderful memories, listening to you Ms. Tracy Chapman!

These lyrics ❤❤❤
we need more of this kind of music.
This song is very deep; I wish someone had covered it and given it more due. Tracy tends to underrate her own talent.
The song has a strong country flar to it.
sensacional mano, pqp que musica
Thank you Tracy x
She is really honest and pretty
She would be one of the best artist of all time, awesome songs, unbelievable lyrics...
Really fantastic and the best female artists... nicest song's and her voice ...
