[ns1pgl]

Bought this album on casette second hand from market somewhere in Wales cant remember where and i listened to it in the car for hours and hours for weeks. This song was always my favourite, but each and every song was great, a fabulous album. Just enjoy.

[somaya45]

So nice song!

[aleamaralf]

The beggining of the song "Soul Meets Body", by Death Cab For Cutie is really similar to this...

someone in Death Cab for Cutie band happens to have a great taste for music ;)

[Haaven4ag]

right

one in all all is in one

[TheValentinarojas]

thumbs up if you are hearing this in 2012 !

[ClaireDxx]

Love this song! Tracy Chapman..What a woman! 

[lusty140]

fab album,i once had a delivery driver come to my door and ask me what i was listening too..one of my fav albums,every songs a belter...

[almostshellie]

Im white and it's not like ahh white people do this! White people do that! Our generation is different no one person is the same. I know black people that are so horrible and I know white people that are aswel. I know Pakistani, Indian and polish people that are nasty but on the other side there's nice people in every race. Race is just a collective term for a group of people. I love Tracy Chapman and she has an amazing voice. But this song is not slagging white people off

[zimzim27]

@almostshellie  well said.

[80anth]

No race matters only the person.

[80anth]

I Hate White men thought was God :(

[RainbowBabe151]

Isn't sad that we are truly living in what is suppose to be free country for all, Doen't that mean everyone? Diversity?! It is a good thing because the white DOES NOT have all the answers.

[Moviejay1]

Love this song. Joni Mitchell's husband at the time, Larry Klein, is sublime on the bass here.

[Psychobrainer]

very best album, great

[MrBlankshank]

[JohannaSvennas]

My favorite now, tomorrow, in a year, in ten years, forever.

<3

[youngash604]

Even though I was 2yrs old when this album dropped and I didn't know about it til 2005, but since then I love her music. I wish she would have made a song with 2pac.

[safari0193]

This song has relevance even now....what a sad state the world is in right now :(

[Rollingmountain]

[nesnejls]

What incident was this about? Winner.

[alilidu067]

Waouh O.o

[lasse4eva]

I wonder why someone disliked this? I've never come across someone who didn't like Tracy Chapman.

[maybeonemore]

she would never win x factor or American Idol....the irony. The best album ever. God bless you Tracy.

[xOpticZoomx]

3 people dont dare to cross the lines... IDIOTS!!!

[bumbang11]

@xOpticZoomx and if the IDIOTS! CROSS WE'LL BE WAITING FOR THE 3 GOONS

[559100adam]

proper rate this song it a tune

[kizzymissymoo]

So sad but so true..even now :''(

[timeisafactor]

3 people with there heads up their asses...

[donttreadonme1980]

u people are wasting your time x factor will one day produce a multitude of artists which put her thoughtful lyrics to shame. my guess is this kind of shit will make way for computer generated master music before long..

[haroos]

@donttreadonme1980 you lost me there.

x factor producing talents ?

any special singer songwriter came from x factor ?

if they will come they will be very few.

it's a very sad state that today singers like chapman, suzanne vega would probable never have been discovered.

instead we have maroon fucking 5 and .... other shit.

[donttreadonme1980]

@haroos i was being ironic.. love tracy

[Sam1311]

love your music grate singer

[CarolyntheGreat]

This song changed my life forever. It was the siren song to my soul that carried me out of the dominantly white suburbs of my youth on a wave of curiosity, anger and then social justice. No other song I have ever heard has affected me this way. No other song has been a consistent soundtrack to so many facets of my existence pulling me always outside of my own pain- diminishing it and brining my soul to a solid resting in the certitude of the worthiness of man. So. How about that shit?

[fkusony12]

mum: where you going?

son:off to kill to haters

Mum: go to your room

son: but they dislicked tracy chapmans songs

mum: ok ill get the gun

[fifouism]

J'aime beaucoup Tracy CHAPMANN. C'est une excellente chanteuse.

[1977Mariachi]

Love this song off the album but I gotta sayI can't understand why people post songs with written lyrics are not right. Sorry if it sounds picky but just think if it's worth posting it's worth matching the song. Brilliant song though :)

[SabineKsiezniak]

I love her music ... cause she speaks the truth

[Lillyconcolor]

LOVE HER!!!! STupid haters pushing dislike button.

[FLARENY]

Very good

[Chris201076]

I've been thinking a lot about this song recently, about how wide in scope it is and the accuracy of its anger. Racists and prejudice in general has "killed the dream of America", a country whose foundations were so noble.

[broon8CFC]

Legend

[Faroefighter96]

I had a object of this sing in school and i got 11 ;)

[Lissy0698]

how could someone not like this song!!!??? :o this song is my favorite song BEST song eva!!!!!!!!!!!such a beautiful voice!!!!!

[jetsetbob]

@0NaidaVasie0 : i really love this song too, even if i am a white living far from America. But Tracy's voice goes straight to my heart. And don't worry, she keep making albums and singing aroud the world ;-).

[fkusony12]

@jetsetbob are you gay just listen to the songs instead of spamming crap no one cares

[kb92530]

@fkusony12 i know especially i am white and live far from america ....... i hate these people !!!! whats colour got to do with it ???

[haroos]

@jetsetbob white ? so ?

[squeakedout]

this brings back some memories

[jonnywev]

more modern than modern day music

[charliekilley]

tracys a realist my favourite lady songwriter brilliant

[bluesistheworld]

The lyrics to this song are so strong. I love Tracy Chapman. Saw her in concert for a few years ago, it was mindblowing and so intimate at the same time. I love the way she reaches out to people.
