    I found this by googling “what happened to Tracy Chapman,”. I can’t believe she made this performance wow. I love how’s she pretty reclused and in her own words shy so she refrains from the spotlight. She actually said she never sought out the limelight lol just goes to show when a gift is deep in someone’s soul man is it beautiful. She’s the female Bob marley of our era. Just by way of songs with such heartfelt emotional impact and poetic power to them. I love how she flows with the music so much like it emanates from her

      An Anglo Saxon Country music singer used her song, because he understood the brilliance of the energy, and sang it. The followers experienced nothing but the truth and energy of the song. They experienced empathy. It’s become a top hit now that a cowboy hat in the club expressed her energy. That’s the story. I am suffering, too. I hurt, too. I want tomorrow to be a better place than the place I am in now. It’s really not that complicated. Tracy is Bitchin’ cool and we want more of her soul displayed in the arena. Courage, Tracy💪🏻

    And she appears again after years to brighten our eyes. A crowd around the world was waiting for this return, but we know it will be in her own way and at her time, because Tracy Chapman is far above our vain will. Her songs are not current but they are Truly what the world needs to hear in these days where the fight for freedom comes down to what the powerful think and put into practice as laws, as if all we need are their opinions.
    Let us praise the beauty and purity of this woman while we still have the opportunity. I love you Tracy Chapman.

    This song came to mind for me last year in 2020 and continues appropriate today. I hold songs in my heart. They surface especially when their lyrics and emotions apply to current challenges. I believe the "Revolution," from peace loving Tracy Chapman, is talking about a peaceful revolution, one that will bring about social justice, human heart core needs being met, and a wave of understanding for everyone about the responsibility, persistence, and urgency that's needed now. It's time for the ugly vanity, misuse of power, and hatred towards others to be called out. I agree we need a revolution=MAJOR CHANGE to ensure the survival of the Good & Beauty that is the planet Earth & all of its people we are fighting for right where we live.

    Those lyrics describe the situation that soon will be in The Netherlands. Maybe in whole Europe. We have got to stand up for we'll lose our free will, our belongings, our speach and our health. We live in a hostile world with hostile chosen and unchosen leaders. We've got to get rid of them or, "You Will Own Nothing at all"
