  • Tracy Chapman performs "Mountains O' Things" live at the Farm Aid concert in Irving, Texas on March 14, 1992. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.
    For more information about Farm Aid, visit: farmaid.org/youtube
    Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

    For many years now I have said that this is the most significant of Tracy Chapman songs. I love fast car as much as anyone, but if you were to give me a chance to perform one song, it would be this one.

    Female Bob Dylan of that generation. She is a master lyricist, telling of the plight of the impoverished, and the human struggle to find love, equality, respect and belonging.
    Her genius will live on for generations to come.

    She thinks deeply. I can feel the struggle in her voice. She puts words and experience to an underspoken existence. We all struggle to get mountains of things. I am Soo proud of her.

    Very few singers can keep the same quality of vocals on stage as that which is recorded in a studio.Tracy Chapman's voice is just as fine on a live performance as anything you'd hear on a digitally remastered recording. That clear, crisp voice is out of this world. An amazing talent beyond what words can describe.

    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
    To have a big expensive car
    Drag my furs on the ground
    And have a maid that I can tell
    To bring me anything
    Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
    I'll revel in their attention
    And mountains Oh mountains o' things
    Sweet lazy life
    Champagne and caviar
    I hope you'll come and find me
    Cause you know who we are
    Those who deserve the best in life
    And know what money's worth
    And those whose sole misfortune
    Was having mountains o' nothing at birth
    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
    Make you pauper
    Or make you queen
    I won't die lonely
    I'll have it all prearranged
    A grave that's deep and wide enough
    For me and all my mountains o' things
    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
    I'll be dreaming, dreaming... Dreaming...

    I believe and have for years that she is being sarcastic in this song, by her other songs, and how simple and real she is, it's obvious she is not a "material girl". I used to play this song for my old roommate who believed that getting gifts from men instead of getting things by herself was a good idea. Anyway this is one of my favorite songs ever

    Always an amazing artist. Those who commented on her physical appearance are caught up in today's paradigm of popular music - performers' appearances are more important than their skills. If that paradigm had held in the past we never would have had a Dylan, a Janis Joplin, a Jim Croce, a Minnie Ripperton, Hendrix and so many other giants of song. If you don't know them look them up. Tracy doesn't fit the models of beauty held by some, but what does that matter? Listen to her. The honesty and truth in her songs are almost without parallel today.
