I lost my German Shepherd who was all I had in life in 1996 and I heard these two combo songs I cried for days maybe a couple of weeks.. This to me is her best CD. My German Shepherd I bought after the one that passed died of a paralyzing disease 3 years ago and I went back these two songs again.. I find comfort and will always think of my babies when hearing this. Now I'm a blubbering mess listening to this thinking of my best friends at the Rainbow Bridge. :(
@texangirl1964 God will Bless you with his Love throu Tracys voice, I have also lost dogs that where my buddies, its hard to lose such faithful friends, but never and I mean Never Ever deny yourself another Best Friend, my mother pasted in 2007 and if it wasn't for her dog that was left behind when she pasted, I don't think I would have made it through my Grief, he's my Buddy today. Take Care of yourself, love is all around you.
Thank you for inspiring my prayer this morning and providing remembrance to me in this song. Meaning no offense, I share here, "Spirit wash over me until Your fire consumes me. First breath in life arrives & the only gifts I seek are waking in a river of You & drowning in the torrential downpour of Your Love. May everything I am & do, reflect only You. Yeshua, Your space inside me is saved, sanctified, & secured, now I wait, knowing that, You, will indeed come for me & I love You"
Does anyone know how to post songs and videos on Youtube? I'm very computer illiterate :-(. Thanks for any help or suggestions :-). And of course, I am a huge Tracy Chapman fan "Save a Place For Me" is one of my all time favorite songs :-).
My Uncle is getting married this year, October 2010, and I want to sing a song to him and my aunt-to-be at their wedding reception! I was thinking about singing them this song, but I know that there are probably better songs that I have just not discovered yet. So, let me know what you think about using this song, and PLEASE give me more songs that I can listen to and try! Thanks for all help and replying back on using this song! Comment here, or on my channel with replys! Thanks!
@CookieMiss1 here are 2 s0ngs..... tonight i give in. and you should know by now. both of these songs are by ANGELA BOFILL. both these songs can be found right here on YOU TUBE. now keep in mind i don't know exactlly what you're looking for,but check them out anyway. if you want,you can let me know what you think.
It sounds a deeply spiritual song about human quest for more.she talks about christian baptism 'if waters can redeem me....as she is willing to try anything to find redemption.I love it cos it has a calming effect on me everytime.
Mom, the rivers washed the anger, sorrow and pain away from you. Your now ready to meet Jesus sparkling like a diamond. R.I.P. 3-07-2009 JLP. I love you.
I just want to give a shout out to all the married people in the world who fight for their spouse, marriage, and for keeping my faith in the fact that people can still be married to the ones they love/their soul mate year in and year out 'cause its not easy in today's culture. Everyone should check out another amazing song by Tracy Chapman called "Baby Can I Hold You".
"Save a Place For Me" is such a beautiful & touching song it makes me want to cry every time :-). Its a song I'd like to give to the one true love of my life, where ever she may be, because its how I really feel. The Promise is another amazing song. I just wish I could find a woman that feels the same, as the words to the song, for me. That sounds silly but hopefully everyone knows what I mean :-).
@lhart99 aww I know how you feel. Thought I'd found the love of my life and she deserted me one day, out of the blue, she seemed so happy, I'd have done anything for her, I thought we were so suited, 9 weeks down the line...still nothing...
She was all talk but no commitment, she said she loved me about 2 days before she decided to end it. One day I'll find someone who doesn't NEED to say they love me. I'll feel it.
I think she touched many lifes, both at social and emotional level. However, when it comes to her social songs, after seeing Cleveland, the town where she was born in, I understood them so much better. And I am white and I was not treated quite nice in that town.
This song has seen me though many life changes and gave me the strength to make those big leaps of faith I think Tracy's musical is truly inspirational
was she homeless? some say yay other nay. i'd love to know because i'm obsessed with her music. she's the reason i started playing the guitar. just played the simple tunes, and how beautiful they were at the same time. pls someone do tell
i dont think she was ever homeless, she went to tufts in boston and was a street performer and became one of the best, i saw her in boston twice and i just love her.
I saw Tracy in concert many years ago in NYC. She rocks! Such a talent and so down to earth. I love how she is so on the DL (down low) ... while everyone else is promoting the shit out of themselves, she hangs and just does the bare minimum. Truly unique individual. From homeless to super stardom. Such an inspiration that you can do anything in this wonderful world and in the great U. S. of A!
Thank you for making this about the song, and not about a video. "Im ready" is the kind of song that takes you to another place while you're listening to it. And even when it ends, you're still in that moment...just thinking and feeling
After watching this years Grammy Awards show and having worked in the music biz for more than 20 years I am saddened by the fact that people like Ms. Chapman are not getting the airplay they deserve. She is an extraordinary talent and deserves to be recognized. she should have been singing with Stevie Wonder and not the Jonas Bros (forget the words kids?) But they sell more records. Song & Reord of the Year. It 's more Sales of the Year. Tracy, India Irie, Nora Jones, next ? how sad
i totally agree even though I am still very young, I think Chapman is the best artist in the whole business and still she dosent get what she deserves. How can the jonas brothers and hannah montanna get so much air play and fae? Because the fans are kids, and kids totally rule the music business..this is the problem..
It is not so much the kids it is the power of their parents dollar.Disney promotes their theme parks & TV thru these 2 whose fan base ranges from 6 - 12 years. You and I may not have that expendable income. "No dough, no go"
why do you have to be so mean, you should try listen to what the subtext is...to me it's like she's ready to be born again or ready to move on to the next world...
My UNCLE DiED 2/13/08 &&+ My FAMiLy PLAyED THiS AT HiS FUNERAL .. SOO iT REALLy MEANS A LOT TO MEH. HE WAS CREMATED. WHEN THiS SONG CAME ON i GOT REALLy UPSET, STARTED CRiEN HARDER, &&+ i WENT UP TO His BOX &&+ HELD iT.
TiLL THis DAy i CAN BARELy MAKE iT THRU THE SONG WiTHOUT CRiEN . iMisS HiM SOO MUCH.
awe pooda1506,i read ur words n got choked.sumtyms a singer reads ur feelings n makes a song just 4 u!dont u think? its 4 u n how u felt 4 ur uncle so cherish that x
I lost my Mom almost 4 years ago now and this song gives me peace and no more fear because I am ready when ever that time comes because I know I will be reunited with the most wonderful beautiful soul I have ever known!! Love and miss you MOM........
