[reiana806]

There is absolutely no other that can make such meaning full songs in this life time.I love all her songs and since childhood I can still sing most!! keep going Tracy!!

[thejoshbrockmanshow]

at first I thought gimme one reason was sung by a man until I saw it on comcast on demand.lol

[youngash604]

Tracy you are the bomb! I love your music!

[mockingbird187]

At about 7 years old, this album helped form the roots of what I would consider quality music for the rest of my life to come. The magic is that I was so young that the songs only became deeper and more meaningful with time... beyond the beautiful rhythm, melodies, and, of course, voice.

[MsTintagel]

The best song I've ever heard!!!!

[cypesh1]

Tracy always my best....nice lyrics great music.

George Bush was born on third base and thinks he hit a homer. The rich in America got there through exploitation.

FAVORIIIITE!!!!!!

[kia0112]

Thank you Tracy for all the wonderful songs - you are a gift

[Bahutsauvage]

Reminds me of the best english teacher i've ever had. She really unlocked the language for me - by using awesome music like this (which just entered the chats back then). She'd let us listen and fill in gaps in the lyrics, and what should i say, not a week later the whole class knew the whole album by heart :)

[wgbdklsby]

look that SOUL..first go first....

[ruffnor]

work of art, a master peice, impossible to find these days,

[MistakenlyMistaken]

Dang! Look at those muscles! Great voice, great body. You go Tracy!

[amariluna]

@MistakenlyMistaken I agree with all of your comment!!

[faxwingard]

Thanks Tracy, <3

[yuelie]

She tells me to remember where I come from and to keep focus on my goals!!

Thanks Tracy!!

[AzureHvn]

She's not complaining. You obviously have your own take & your mind is made up about it. So be it.

[aMshoLoc]

if you could sing like her, you could be anywhere, it doesn`t really matter if her ideeas are positive, or negative, but she sings the truth, the truth and the reality, that all of us should see, listen, understand and leave !

[MrVash27]

Was hat sie für Muskeln? =)

[t0shle]

The life I've always wanted

I guess I'll never have

I'll be working for somebody else

Until I'm in my grave

I'll be dreaming of a live of ease

And mountains

Oh mountains o' things

[Goodness250]

@t0shle Point being...?

[t0shle]

The life I've always wanted

I guess I'll never have

I'll be working for somebody else

Until I'm in my grave

I'll be dreaming of a live of ease

And mountains

Oh mountains o' things

[Goodness250]

I'm thinkin chick needs to start pulling herself up by the bootstraps... I'd like to hear a song about what she's thankful for. I understand completely how she would feel the need to sing about her experiences with racial violence, murder, domestic violence, a sick parent... but it can start bringing me down... especially by the time she's now whining about having to work for a living?? Sounds like a pretty decent arrangement to me, especially in this economy.

[LordGuinness]

@Goodness250

interesting point...she sings about hope a lot which I suppose is positive but the frustration about life being a rat race deffo comes through in many of her songs.

[AzureHvn]

@Goodness250 You truly missed the point of this song. Totally.

[Goodness250]

@AzureHvn She's COMPLAINING, right? In this case, it happens to be about rich people who she thinks take advantage of "good people." If you have a different take, don't just try to talk above me, please enighten me.

[amariluna]

@Goodness250 You miss the point. Her songs are not about herself, they are about all of us who have suffered at the hands of other human beings, the exploited, the abused, the discriminated and marginalized in general.

[2patrock]

@amariluna which is to say; herself -we are all one Tracy a master illustrator; wordsmith

[amariluna]

@2patrock Right you are. I should have written "her songs are not just about herself..." Thanks :)

[umersgirl]

youtube rocks!!!! O Tracy Chapman, how you soothe the soul of a girl who grew up dreaming of a world where we could all stand face to face with out malice in our hearts. We still haven't made it there, but her music gets me by for now. She's amazing and time has definitly told how brilliant she is.

[ArcticDragon613]

Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, beautiful music.

[curiouscrutiny]

this is one of my all time favorite songs never gets old for me =)

[benjamins11]

love love this song

[kleverkev73]

timeless

[whytwoisy2]

Secret of happiness never getting tied down to bills, credit etc. To be free to go where you will.How I wish I had listened, now even though I do not feel a need for "things" . I must spin as a wheel in the machine from the debt I gained from gaining stuff and losing stuff the debt is still there and now I have a babe too so can't just run away..Nope. Spinning the cogs and the wheels: a human resource what I always never wanted to be. so i will be dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of freedom.

[elevenoften]

Is another world possible...?

[kudason]

@elevenoften i've thought long and hard about that... sadly, i got as far as concluding that the desire for excess got rid of the barter system and introduced money. desire for excess continued and then debt came along.

[mporokoso]

Tracy is the best. To me.

[Fihoe]

So true Tracy ... Don´t focus on material things... They´re not worth it ... Beeing human is not measureable in money.

[DjLockieTV]

love this song!

[32Paul81]

tracy chapman just sings from the heart . fantastic lady

[MrsCandyXXX]

Gail

[5104560711]

[Amoyhoi]

So true...I'm still dreaming

[nrdxxy]

[hicham8580]

she´s so difirent from the others and her songs have something fery special every time i listen to her i said she s the best

[Juanita360che]

Me encantan sus canciones para ma es una de la s mejores cantautoras

[slimnhottt]

she's the best...... no doubt....... noone can touch her

[LordGuinness]

@slimnhottt

I saw a tribute she did for Odetta (civil rights activist and AMAZING singer just incase your wondering who:-)...she is from the school of many greats...nothing compares to her in todays music....acoustic stuff nowadays if very introspective and more about the individuals plight rather than the common plight of human kind.

[aprilbify]

my dad used to listen to this album when we took long road trips it reminds me of him sooo much.... RIP daddy

[Dutchy1965]

@aprilbify keep ya chin up April !

[gefro02]

[matysiak95]

[gustavgans67]

*******************

[gpf429]

More than 2 decades since this album was released and it still packs a powerhouse punch. Poignant, relevant, timeless.  Arguably, one of the best debut records ever........

[sluv2600]

@gpf429

Yeah it's a great album from start to finish. It's right up there with GnR's Appetite for Destruction as a one of the best debuts of all time. I liked her second album a lot, however many people didn't like it. I wonder why? Be Careful of My Heart is a great song.

[stynred]

this song makes me cry, its a wake up call,

Grave thats deep enough for me an ol my mountains of thangs.

[thegreatB05]

i love this song

[axekill8]

Great voice, great song !

[majimaji11]

77% of urban South Africans agree with the statement My main goal in life is to make more money. (Future Fact 2008) Only 23% work to live. The rest it seems live only to work.

[macaboo99]

this song is amazing.

[inutaishou55]

u just kant not love her songs

[ShamonJuice]

Oh they tell me/There's still time to save my soul/they tell me,/Renounce all,/Renounce all those material things you gained by/exploiting other human beings/

Consume more than you need/this is the dream...

...

Mostly I feel lonely/good good people are/good people are only/my stepping stones/It's gonna take all my mountains o things/to surround me/keep all my enemies away/keep my sadness and loneliness at bay

[babettesamantela29]

i love it so much,uhmmm...nothing break ur voice!FANTASTIC TRACY,GO,GO,GO!!!

[myselfandi4u]

Dreaming!

[cybermind]

this song is just one of those epic things - even if you're not a big tracy chapman fan. its just super talented cool

[yelyarb]

You might like the cover done by the Duhks, it's superfantastic =D

[myselfandi4u]

hahaaa forgot how great this song was. She is a wise woman!!

[malfini1]

the most uncommercial artist I know of

[Gwenduireb]

one of the greatest songs that have ever been written!

[scousaj]

great song great artist i love all her songs... and to be honesed i thought she was a man the first time i heard her...

[goofyverhorst]

I thought that too! You can tell it from her name, but I still was surprised to hear she is een woman. Great voice, though

[micky44u]

well another fantabulistic tune putt over soooooo wellllll ive loved this girls voice 4 so long i caint remember when it all began well its gotta b bfpo 17 when the wall came down theres many a star been farmers now who said that i wonder lol

[opodj]

realllll woman, real person, real poet, real artist, real AMERICAN!

[vision57]

the question remains..man or woman? idk but he/shes good

[thePolerin]

It's not a question. Tracy is a woman, something which could be ascertained with a modicum of effort, which obviously you are unwilling to expend.

[celciusringerrune]

Why don't you just not be an asshole, that way you wouldn't get yourself into situations where you look like an ignorant idiot.

Huh?

[guisando92]

amazing woman..

[123prova]

Mountains O'THings, mountain o nothing.

Nice words.

[drknsqueen]

Tracy is American. She sings of the African-American experience among other things. We love her and she is from *America*.

[carliniartes]

otimo som!!!!

[bluesedout]

Great song and super performance and arrangement. So different!!

[goatboy1974]

she speaks but no one listens

[cucumico]

Of course for no one can get what she is saying!

[thePolerin]

Some do, I'm one.

This album was one of the legs on which I built my life. Across the Lines, Talking about a revolution, Why, Mountains O'things, Behind the wall, For My Lover... All of these songs contain parts of me, parts of what I fight for, what I hold dear.

[tall32guy]

Listened to this album and song a LOT of times to get my through my summer scram of studying right before graduation (so I could walk). Ahhh memories. LOL

[darkxhino]

Yeah man sounds a little bit of reggae ! c`mon LETS! DANCE!!!

[dmia123]

not reggae but calypso and a bit of african input. the motherland.

[ukoffline]

love this song :

The life I've always wanted

I guess I'll never have

I'll be working for somebody else

Until I'm in my grave

I'll be dreaming of a live of ease

And mountains

Oh mountains o' things

[stargiller]

she is the best and she sings of such truth

[tranurse]

i have loved this song since i was 16 when the record came out. i ran out and bought the cassette because i loved fast car.  my mind was blown, and it just changed music for me.
