  • To add or write anything to or about this song would be doing injustice to it. So we leave as is. we can only submit to its inescapable apogee while trying to absorb its intensity- hopelessly!

    Truly on a league of her own!

  • music for my soul! serum for heartlosing people..

  • Since Fast Cars Tracy has been in my life. Her songs have picked me up when I've down and provided me with the courage and strength to persevere thru the trials to embrace a new day with hope.

  • I'm 17 years old, female. When I was 14 I was put in rehab for severe meth addiction, which almost took my life many times. I have grown up with Tracey Chapman thanks to my mother. I heard this song while i was in treatment, and listened to it today, it defines exactly what I've been through the last four years I've been aware of my addiction. After many relapses, I've now been sober for over a year. I listen to this song for hope and to remember where I've been. <3

  • @rachellannetheblonde I am really sorry to hear about your past, but at the same time I am very happy to hear youve been sober for over a year. I just wanted to congratulate you and best of luck keeping it sober.

  • @rachellannetheblonde I am so happy for you. the road is long and hard but keep your head held high and keep moving forward. There is no shame in trying to right what has been wrong. This womans music has carried me through so many hardships. I own every album she has made and they never grow old becuase it speaks truth. Be not afraid look the Devil in the eye and smile!

  • @rachellannetheblonde i have used herion 16 years im 33 i cryed when i read your story as its close to my own babe. i have tryed ti kill myself many times alyways rem were you come from im on meth now

  • @rachellannetheblonde Thank you...as I sit in treatment today, I also am listening to words I could have scribbled down to define the last few years of my life. The tears that fall as I write and listen do so for two reasons: 1 is because of the voice of God which is singing to me and the other, for your strength which I too hope to be enveloped by. Thank you and many more years of Recovery to us both :)

  • @rachellannetheblonde I am inspired by your story. I am also in recovery from meth addiction. I have just over two years. I see you wrote this 9 months ago. I pray you are just about two years now.

  • @rachellannetheblonde meth is tuff young lady but you have the strength of ten lions

  • @rachellannetheblonde Congrats on your year!!!! Our curse can become our blessing! Yours in recovery.

  • I Retch for Heaven And God Answered ,

  • all I can say is that your music entered my life when I thought all was going where it need, from all the struggles that i have gone through since age 7 yrs. To be able to have the children i always wanted, to being able to love the man who made me the real me, to taking a chance of the impossible for a single mom of 4 kids owner a piece of property being on welfare and food stamps to having 2 jobs and running rental property, to needing very little welfare help but 11$'s in food stamps

  • Tracy is amazing.... I get very bad panic/anxiety attacks but listening to Tracy calms me right down in no time... she's a window to the soul and inspiration of a lot of people! love you always Tracy !!

  • I've loved her music for a while now, and she is amazing. Just today though I really discovered this song "Be and Be Not Afraid." I just can't help but feel everything that this woman is as a songwriter. Musically it is incredibly simple, but lyrically it's immaculate, as usual. Her voice is so soft, but strong and delivering. I recall what a co-worker of mine once said about her songs: Tracy Chapman's song are like chants!!

  • she is perfect.... melodie, lyrics....

  • She is so beautiful, in so many ways. I love this, I love her.

  • .................... <3

  • Be and be not afraid to reach for heaven.

  • her music sounds like burning into someones head. its intense i love it :D

  • That's right! Her songs keep in mind for a life, not linke the most popsongs today.. 3 weeks in your ear and than away! they are great!

  • What Saskia Said....
