  • Very sad song really, her mother left her drunk dad, she had to quit school and take care of him. She fled her life and a guy and ends up like her mother with a drunk without work

  • Comment removed

  • original song is better but Michael collings sings great too

  • NO ONE WANTS TO LIKE YOUR COMMENT DUMB FUCKS!

    THIS SONG WAS EPIC B4 AND AFTER SOME DUMB ASS IDOL SHOW!

    So FUCK off with your gay ass talent show bullshit. No one cares, song is best sang by the ORIGINAL rather then some talentless fuck tard on some fail ass idol shit. STFU go back to your shitty music.

  • @21fuzz21 Is it that time of the month?

  • @BreastsILike Nah.. Just sick of these dumb ass ignorant idol show fags like OMFG! I never hurd this song until then and now i love this song! just like songs in movies..

  • eu acho essa musica muito loca

  • like this if you were brought here from michael collings singing this on britains got talenttt!

  • like if you knew and liked this song before the idiots from Britain got talent noticed it! :D

  • @dirtymonkey55 Schau dir mal Enrique Iglesias titel:Tonight (im lovin´you) an und dann sage mal nichts ist echt gut

  • I've searched the song, it's singer and it's name for so damn many YEARS! It's awesome...

  • I miss real music. When naked dancers, erotic videos, shallow lyrics, and synthesizers were frowned upon.

  • have no desire to hear someone else singing this song especially from another nationality! this was the shit way back when and no one else can do it like ms. chapman. like someone else trying to sing somewhere over the rainbow... u just can't do it!

  • Fuck BGT......im hungry, i want a BLT.

  • wahs bgt

  • this song was lost to me until Britains Got Talent....thanks <3

  • @ducttapeee I'm happy you found it :') Tracy is an amazing artist!

    It really fucks me off to hear people say 'i loved that song wayyyy before it was on BGT', really... who gives a shit?!

  • @ducttapeee same here, even i searched it after i saw Michael Collings in Britain's Got Talent 2011 Audition

  • This might be one of the greatest songs of all time.

    It's power and narrative can compare with the likes of Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan, Bohemian Rhapsody, Stairway to Heaven, etc.

    Tremendous.

  • i actually thought this was a dude :L

    

  • Das beste lied ever *__*

  • Love. Got such a nice voice<3

  • Man can never tell the diffence from woman such fags!

  • If u don't no a woman f4om a man kill your self fag!

  • @guap910 from*

  • This song is such a classic. I only saw the clip of that BGT Collins guy because of all the post from people about his version on here. Tracy Chapman is a talented artist and although Collins has a great voice, theres no comparing the two. Tracy brings this song to life and gives it so much emotion.

  • i know u guys dont care but i love these songs 1) better together jack johnson 2) get it together india arie 3) temper tramp sweet disposition 4)tracy chpman fast car 5) how to save a life the fray . these songs all brighten up my day

  • I miss pop up video! That's where I heard this song for the first time! Obsessed with her voice, Just a rocking! Need more singers like her!!!!!!!!

  • luv this song to death!! and the hiphop version is sick too (RAWDAWG -FAST CAR)

  • One of the greatest songs ever.

    And wtf is BGT??

  • Wtf is BGT?

    I like this song because of this song.

    Thumbs up if you agree

  • @Dininann britans got talent

    and micheal coilions sung it, hes amazing<3

  • @Dininann Eww. Tracy Chapman's better. I just listened to his and I hated it/

  • @Dininann Britains Got Talent.

  • Been listening to this song since i was about six, knew it before BGT!

  • i dont get what the issue is with liking the song because it was on BGT? I wasn't even born when this came out so no wonder I didn't know it and without BGT this song wouldn't have half as much recognition it deserves! It doesn't matter why we like it just enjoy the MUSIC:D!

  • Tracey Chapman's a LEGEND!! Love this song live vid is boss too

  • your all fags this is a woman singing and shes more talented than all you haters but haters gonna hate

  • @marc1993yeaaa i dont hate her my sister in law is name Tracy Chapman same spelling to and she rocks

  • i love this music but she singing in live and the michael collings voice too

  • HRHooChicken- great (public) display of ignorance but I am glad you possess and are exercising your right to put the pen into play and spew out stuff before fully engaging your faculties.

    Fashiontess - Dana, Tracy, Chris, Jack, but to name a few. The first two are unisex, the last abbreviated to be. Get out there and meet the world.

  • I prefer Michael Collins' version tbh

  • Oh come on she's gotta be a he... the only thing female about her is the name

  • unfortunately i had not heard this song and i did not know about it until BGT but im so glad Michael sung it because now i knwo about this version! Great song, fantastic story behind it.

  • I've always known of the song and liked it... I got to admit though, I did forget about it! I'm glad it was on BGT, brought it back for me! :D

  • i love this song !

  • i prefer michael collings version on bgt!! he should get his own video with the full version!!

  • Love, love, love. How fantastic. Love her.

  • To be honest, I prefer Michael Collings's version of this song. :)

  • @theheartkaleidoscope I agree. Tbh, his had emotion in it, as if he were comparing himself to the lyrics.

  • @kittyobviously Exactly! I mean, this version is great, but I think it just sounds better coming from him, he plays it so well and has such a great voice for these type of songs :) I wish he'd won BGT to be honest, although Jai was my second favourite to win.

  • @theheartkaleidoscope me to his the best virshon

  • is that the singer from bloc party?

  • @popcornfreak129

    that's kele okereke...

  • @emsyh93 was a joke.

  • does she remind you of X factor 2010's Paige (same face) ?????????? :)

  • I didn't know Tracy chapmen was a girl

  • @Greeeenyx TRACY CHAPMAN IS A GIRL

  • Such a classic, All BGT did was reminded me of what a good TUNE it is! YES.

  • great song! btw its a boy not a girl

  • @Greeeenyx No it is a girl

  • i came here 2 coz BGT buh doesnt take away the fact this song is soooo gd and meaningful. and btw its a woman lol

  • this song sings about a young girl trying to break and make a fresh start

  • natural woman,no make up African beauty not some painted faces i see now-days,shame on you Beyonce

  • how the hell can they compare this to Mickeal from britain got talent?? he did sing it good but this the original one and its better ,it always gonna stay better!!

  • If it does to you, why not simply Google search for your answer rather than use the comments? Wikepedia will surely give you the answer if you're really bothered.

  • yes it actually does yes? if it dont to you then dont comment 

  • <3 <3 <3 

  • is that a boy or a girl im confussed??

  • @minibutler10 i was confused too it's a women for sure :)

  • thats a girl singing !!!!! .. dont get me wrong ! the song is awesome as hell but the voice and look ,,,, that cant be a girl !!!

  • she sorta looks like a man with her hair

  • I listen to InFlames, asking alexandria,etc. etc., and none provoke more feelings than m. Chapman

  • this song just makes me sad.. i found it from the Ryan white aids story..

  • FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG.

  • This song makes life so simple,-just wishing life is like it was before.

    Sort of gives you that feeling that you don't need to be rich to be happy, and that feeling where you don't need to care or worry about anything in the world.

  • lol so many people like this song that you can't even see the 221 that don't, what losers

  • This is my go to song <3

  • i love the way ever since BGT everyones obsessed with this song. thumbs up if you've always liked it!

  • @mollyalexandra4242 Maby because some people never Herd it !! :)

  • @mollyalexandra4242 The only reason that it has gone viral since then is because the majority of the people never knew about it until the heard it on BGT, I wish I had heard this a long time ago.

  • I fort i could be some one some day but that fat guy gone and beat me to it .

  • @CrAzYRaVeRx u mean fat women lol

  • @grimekid1992 No . BGT ?

  • How can you dislike this.

  • 3am, totally shatterd but just can't stop listening.

  • 221 viewers have slow cars

  • why is there even a dislike button for this? this song is a never ending classic, it will be played for many generations to come.

    Much love to tracy chapman <3

  • what year was this first released ?

  • @Amateratsu21 1988

  • @Tom21794 Cheers

  • Thumps up if you lands here because of watching Britains Got Talent 2011.

  • anyone else watching this b/c they heard tracy chapman on childish gambino's "bitch look at me now"?

  • 19, 124 People know when they hear a classic.

  • First heard this song from an 80's music show my dad recorded on VHS. Love Tracy... you can feel the emotion in her voice.

  • @TheAlmightykck.. Seriously... Can't you just let this amazing singer be? She isn't Tupac or Biggie. There's no comparison.

  • New remix of this available on my channel now

  • love this track but check out the hiphop version (Gabrielle ft RAWDAWG- Dreams), it brings me back to the old school days of Tupac and Biggie... Yeah that track is on FIRE!

  • @SMALE15 yes haha :)

  • 221 PEOPLE NEVER DRIVE A CAR!!!

  • 221 NEVER DRIVE A CAR!!!

  • It doesn't exactly matter where or when people heard a song, as long as they can appreciate it -.- I'm 15, how could I have heard it 'back in the day'? I don't like these hipsters who are all over YouTube claiming that they own things because they heard them first.

  • @DrunkenIdeas Absolutely! This song reminds me of being a kid growin up in the SF bay area. It brings me back to those days! But you are totally right, who cares if you heard it 15 years ago or on Xfactor or whatever!

  • i actually love this man:-).. think ive raped the replay button(L)<3

  • @thaspaigexx LoL! xD

    She's a woman! :D

  • Who cares if you listened to the song first ? ? That's about as mature as saying I tried the first lolly. who cares as long as ya get enjoyment over the same thing. nothing to be proud of.

  • @Mintbeans123 its all about the music. i personally knew the song way before the new Britain's got talent craze. but thanks to that craze my love for this song was re ignited. music is music. first or last if you enjoy it then go ahead and enjoy it.

  • @TheMrClutchy that's what i said lol who cares as long as ya get enjoyment out of music is what i meant sweet

  • @Mintbeans123 <3 much love

  • the dislike bar is so small it doesn't even show.

  • 'leave tonight or live and die this way'

    i now live by this<3 <3 love this song!

  • @RFCjc1993 Yup BG, but all the same crap regardless lol.

  • I love this song. Such a nice voice

  • who puts a dislike to this song I DONT THINK SO classic :@)
