My wife has been living 400 Km away in Mexico City for four years now where she gets chemo and has had several surgeries for breast cancer (It's the best Oncology hospital in Central america). She is doing great and has already had her last reconstruction surgery. I had to stay in our city to work and pay for household and cancer expenses as well as College for our two kids. We are now so near to being phisicaly together again. This song is the promise I make: "If you wait for me, and I will come for you. Although I travelled far... I always hold a place for you in my heart."
I'm 44 and I have recently been diagnosed with a grade 2 inoperable oligodendroglioma (brain tumor) and have been told that I have perhaps 1 year left on this earth, I think this is the saddest song I've ever heard, I love this song so much and want it to be played at my funeral but I worry it will upset my daughter to much, it scares me to think of my daughter on her own and that I won't be here to comfort and support her through the trails and challenges that await her through out her life and it breaks my heart that I will never see my daughter graduate university or that I won't be there to walk her down the Isle on her wedding day or meet my grand children, I love you Esmee to the moon and back and want to make as many happy memories with you as possible and I am so very proud of the beautiful, intelligent and courageous young woman you have become, I know that one day (many many) years from now we will meet again. Esmee, my dearest darling daughter, those day's will be truly glorious fore we shall walk hand in hand through the fields of paradise as we listen to the heavenly choir of angels having shed the sins and the struggles that we carried for all our years, but until that time I will miss you so so much, with all my heart and soul. All my love, your dad. may god bless you all, please be kind to one another and cherish your loved ones because life is just to short and far to precious to waste on bitterness and hate "gather ye rosebuds while ye may"
Stay in there I have lost my mother n grandmother 2 weeks apart and I can tell you to fight only God's has the last say so and from a kids point of view spend as much time and then some with your daughter cause all we have are the memories we have of 1 another make sure she knows and hears that you love her and God bless you my brother 🙏
I'm so sorry to hear of your situation mate. I don't know what else I can say to you. I don't have any family and if it were possible I'd gladly trade my health to you.
Hang on there darling.It's not over till it is and its only God that has the last say.I was in the same situation a year ago and can almost feel what you are feeling now.Sending you my love, huggs and prayers.😘
One night someone showed me this song, telling me what it meant to them, and I can never listen to it without thinking about this person. Now whenever I'm drunk, I always come back to this song, and the one they said reminded them of it, and it's starting to have its own meaning to me.
I lost my beautiful wife of 27 years recently. We were deep soul mates. This song ALWAYS elicits tears of sadness...and of hope. Thank you, for YOU...Tracy.
I lost my dad almost 2 years ago now and this song really made me feel safe, Ive cried, been happy to this song it has a way. I hope you are feeling much much better, my mom still struggles as they had been married since, I can only imagine the pain.
Tracy Chapman is probably the most profound artist I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. The lyrics and melodies of her works reach deep inside of me and grab ahold of my heart, mind and soul. You can feel the purity in her words and messages conveyed in her works. Tracy, you have truly approached immortality with your awe inspiring messages. Thank you for your contributions to humankind.
Agreed. I just saw her in Boston decades ago opening for I can’t even remember who now. I think it was love at first hearing. She’s stunningly beautiful to me and I absolutely feel that her music is just real for me in my gut. Her music feels humbly presented in truth. All that being said, this is one of my absolute favorite “love songs”. Perfectly honest.
I'm 75yo. I saw her in 1980 in a queue in Karlovy Vary and lightning hit me⚡After 4 weeks I was so stupid to leave her back at Bratislava Station and we never met in rl again. June 2020 we were reunited on Facebook and the bliss is back again 💥 Never leave me again Lulu, I love you forever!!! 🥰💘💋
I love this song, even though it makes me cry, the ugly cry. I think of my two sisters who both died of cancer, I look to Almighty God's promise that I will one day I will see them again. If they wait for me I will wait for you, and fill that place in your heart. I always hold a place for them in my heart. I miss them both.
Am dedicating this song to anyone out there who has lost something or someone they loved so much, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, this too shall pass just hold on. In 2022 am sending love to you all🥰🤗🇿🇲
@@ritakreger3463 hold on and keep trying hard it will get better, just look on the bright side of everything 💚 sending love to you from Zambia 🇿🇲in this new year 🥰
This song is so precious to me. It reminds me of my mom who put me up for adoption when I was a baby. I want her to know I love her. She was so brave for doing that, I can't imagine what that feels like. I want to play this for her to tell her I want to be with her someday. If that day ever comes. I was so empty for all those years until adoption records were finally opened. Now I know who my family is. She is truly my hero, she shined even though she let me go. That took a lot of courage. I want to thank her for who she is and what she did. I would not be here today if it weren't for her.
my grandma told me in the car one day when i was about 9 years old that if anything ever happened to her, this was her song to me. it’s been 3 years since she’s been gone & this still makes me feel the closest to her that i ever could anymore
This used to be my sister's favorite song,she would play it on repeat over and over again.I play it every time I think of her. Continue to rest in peace Dee,you are forever in my heart 😢.
This was my mom's favorite Tracy Chapman song. I wish you can return to me. You made a promise, you said everything going to be fine. Not yet... I miss you mom. RIP...
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom is your angel. She is with you and watching over you. Know that. Breathe deeply. Smile. Trust it will be fine. The Divine plan is not always easy, but trust. May your Mom RIP. May you find peace. You will be ok, Know that. She would want you to be happy and to go on. It is raw now, time will help. Do what you love to do and dedicate it to her. You will be alright. Wishing you well Blessings
I played this at my sisters funeral.She absolutely loved Tracey Chapman. This song so much reminds me of her.Thanks for such beautiful words and the memories with your music x
Right?!! I heard this song for the first time recently when I watched “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” and I can’t stop listening even though it completely wrecks me emotionally.
My dad died suddenly 2 years ago of cancer . It hadn’t been diagnosed until it was too late … we had only 9 days with him before he went . I have struggled everyday with losing him, I can’t move on and miss him so much my heart is shattered in pieces . I so need to be with him …life will never be the same again , my world my hero my entire life. I won’t be long Dad ….xxx
Not good , I need to be with him , losing my dad was worst than losing my triplets at birth and that was hard watching my 3 babies die in my arms . I really need to be with him . I love my mum , 2 brothers , my fiancé. My nieces and nephews…. But I just need to sit and cuddle him and laugh with him . I have no purpose here .
Your dad would want you to be happy and thriving in your life. He’d want you to move forward with your grief. Carry his memories, love and lessons with you as you move FORWARD WITH your grief (you never MOVE ON from losing a loved one…always FORWARD). That’s the best way to honor him. I pray you’re doing well and have found your path and peace through this life.
Someone very close to me that I wronged and he kept a distance from me even after apologizing. He told me he needed space and I respected his decision. Today he has sent me this song after not talking for a while. I'm happy that this could be a sign that he's forgiven me and wants us to reconnect. It's a very beautiful and sweet song.
Nobody will ever know what this song means to me very few people out there who knows what kind of emotion this song brings to a person only the true ones know.
Soooooooo very much. I have sent it to a lost love from forever. Hope it works it's beautiful Chapman magic!! Please say you'll be waiting . . together again . . it would feel so good to be in your arms.. . . I vow to come for you, if you wait for me!! Beautiful!!
@@petranaylor7370 I Love that you did that. Be strong and Womanly,. If you are meant to be together, then it will be, if you have done your time together, then let that Love goooooo and focus on being YOU, in all you glory. You are magnificent, honour yourself first and foremost.....Namaste....
@@hel6ova9 Thanks. Didn't work out in the end. I will save it for someone else now! Love that you loved that though. There is a reason he's an ex. I forgot! ❤
In 2001 as a brand new soldier on United Nations in the Green Zone cyprus, I use to play this song every single night on repeat as my room mate and I went to sleep. He was called Az (Arron) and he use to hate it, he would get so pissed off haha that's army life. I loved that guy and we went through loads on that tour together. I hope that when he hears this song now he remembers those nights in that cabin in the old airport on tour. We were just gunners (no rank). I write this today as a Sergeant having seen action in Iraq, Afghanistan among other places. I haven't seen Az since 2003 when I left that regiment (5th RA) to move to Germany and be stationed out there for 10 years. Listen to this song and think of service youngsters all around the world like me and Az were, in bases and camps that are not comfortable, and remember that life is never easy.
I really needed this today. I signed over my rights to my 3 year old son when I was 22. I wasn't man enough to provide for him & his family kept him from me his whole childhood. I spent that time trying to destroy myself. 3 weeks ago my wife had my 2nd son, James. Today I'm in the position to be his daddy & I'll die before he leaves my side. I pray all the time that Matthew Jr. is happy & having a good day.
I wasn't born in your era but oh Tracy if you only knew how your songs resonate with me in a much deeper vibration, thank you for such a master piece and I don't know why as a young man that I am I still love the songs and the singers from the 70's 80s & 90s, somehow I think that they are the only songs that makes me able to connect with my inner self.
Gather here is watching “A beautiful day in the neighborhood” brought you here. 20 years gone since I first listen to this and the words still sink deep.
This voice hits something else. How is it possible to feel like crying and laughing all at once. Her voice seems to have a matter to it which intertwines and encapsulates the listener in their own little coccoon. Profound.
I found my son 7 years ago. My heart was finally full. He died last year. I always thought I would have more time with him. I hope you find her and find peace.
I had split up from my girlfriend, we had been apart for a few years when she came back into my life. She gave me Tracey Chapmans album and told me to listen to listen to this song. It was great to hear as I had never stopped loving her, it fitted perfectly. We then went on to have a son who was stillborn, this was played at his funeral so this song is very bittersweet for me.
I've loved this song for years. Nowdays, I feel it with every bone in my body. Sometimes, you just have to let go that person you thougt you'll spend your life with. Love stays in heart, you pray for them to be happy, you hope you'll be happy in the future. And you keep going on...no choice...
listening to this song while remembering the passing of my kid brother. I can only take joy in cherishing the memories we had together all of his 11 years while on this earth. I love you to the moon Harold and we'll be together one day. You are forever my guardian Angel.
This song speaks volumes about so many situations of life . . . the timing and simplicity of the tune and words are tremendous. Thank you Tracy for this!
My mom plays this song every time my dad goes away for work cz my dad sang it to her They are so In love I hope you find my soulmate just like they found each other ❤❤❤
I heard this song after I said goodbye to my friend in Australia, I told her to wait for me and be back soon.. I received a big hug and she whispered “don’t be to long, I’ll miss you and I love you dearly my friend”
This song attached me with a person who I promised him that I will for sure come and visit him, in another country. He expected for me, and I know deep inside, we expected this as a mark of our start in a so-called relationship. But distance is a scary weapon challenging the wait, especially we’re just in a promising phase, not yet in a relationship. Then 2 years passing with Covid interference, i cannot make it. I didn’t even have chance to make my promise come true before I know for now he has a girlfriend. I’m happy for him, and he deserves happiness. Sometimes, we’re heartbroken and keep thinking of a person while they’re enjoying the best of their time, without knowing abt them. I feel nostalgic whenever I hear this song, reminding me of incomplete love story. Maybe the moral story here is to just keep love inside me. Or nothing to be analyzed and let go of overthinking, and things are well organized !!
I wish I knew of this song for my Dad's funeral. I've lost both parents and many loved ones. Only my Dad came for me for a brief second. I awoke one night and he was standing right next to me and my wife. He said nothing but he smiled at me and that said everything. What a gift those few seconds were.
I lost my baby son on Christmas Eve last year. It has been a long road for both myself and my wife, I will always remember those few special moments I got to hold you my son and I will hold them close for the rest of my days. I have been a Tracy Chapman fan for many years but this song was somehow missed until Father's Day just gone, laying in the bath with my wife and this masterpiece comes on from related CZcams videos not speaking just balling our eyes out hanging on every word of this beautiful song. This really has reached the depths of my heart and always will, thank you for making me feel my son again Tracy, I will be eternally grateful. ❤️
Everyday for the last 20 years I miss my mom so much nothing can take away the hurt but I know when my time to rest comes she will be waiting for me thank you Tracy for this song
After a relationship ended in 1996 I was left completely heartbroken and couldn’t listen to this without crying. 2018 I can now listen to this song without a single tear and I’m thankful that relationship ended when it did. Time heals and there’s always light just around the corner even in your darkest times ♥️
I LOVE TRACEY CHAPMAN!! THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND THOSE GORGEOUS DIMPLES WARMED MY HEART WHEN SHE HEARD THE AUDIENCE'S RESPONSE TO HER SONG!! GLAD SHE LIVED TO SEE THE FRUITS OF HER LABOR AND GET HER OVERDUE FLOWERS!!❤❤
Miss my two boys so bad. This song helps so damn much. Haven't seen them in 3 years, its painful. 💔 I love you Paul and Jude. This song says it all boys.
A truly beautiful and classic song...... discovered Tracy Chapman in my early 20's and am 50 now....her songs have an eternal message for all of us..... xxxx..
I LOVE TRACEY CHAPMAN!! THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND GORGEOUS DIMPLES WARMED MY HEART WHEN SHE HEARD THE RESPONSE FROM THE AUDIENCE!! SO GLAD THAT SHE RECEIVED HER FLOWERS WHILE SHE'S STILL ALIVE!!❤❤🥳
This song speaks the words my heart speaks deep down but my mouth is unable to speak ❤️💔 hardest thing in the world is to grieve the loss of someone who was the closest to you and they are alive. The pain lingers around
Watched 'A beautiful day in the neighbourhood' starring Tom Hanks and this was part of the soundtrack. Beautiful song, we don't hear much of Tracy now. Such a talent.
I'm listening to my own funeral song when I listen to this, I've told my husband this is what i want, i spent months in hospital in 2014 and its left me with serious lung issues and the Corona virus is a very serious threat so weve completed all the Admin in case it happens I'm 38 with 2 children and life is just scary at the moment #staysafe
If I die from this virus I will be ok with that. 1999 December 23 the day after her birthday I will be with my wife Jennifer egnaty. I feel like yesterday every day. I love you always
I just heard this song today, sang yesterday beautifully by Brandi and Catherine Carlile at concert and I was so moved beyond words how amazing the song and the lyrics are .... the whole world stopped for me.... Tracy Chapman ❤
I love this song by Tracy Chapman this song takes me way back. Beautiful song ♥️♥️♥️💐💐♥️♥️♥️ I'am 65 years old and when I hear this song it seems like yesterday beautiful song Tracy beautiful voice. 👍🏻♥️♥️💐💐♥️♥️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ( The Promise )
I dedicate this song to my dad whom I never met nor seen in my life.how I wish I could even seen your face I hope I have a place in your heart just like u have a place in my heart .it hurts so much knowing maybe u are still there or u Dead for real .I wish I had loving parents
For all of us dealing with long distance, continental and intercontinental relationships, this is for us. A song that captures the depth of a loving heart missing it's love!!!!!
Haven't seen both my parents for over 2 years because of covid, it feels really weird and empty from time to time, definitely makes me look at life and people differently, just wish everyone the best ❤️
In 2011 after living in Canada for a year…I had to return to the UK and left a beautiful, kind woman who I had spent the past year with. We played this song on our last night together and when we said goodbye at the airport gate I wept. A year apart was not easy. But she came to England to be with me and we played the song as she walked down the aisle in 2014. Now it’s 2022 and we are playing the song once again as our two boys play in our home.
For me you’re the most special and amazing singer ever… I love your kindness, your warming voice and words!! I’m sure someone like you with such special talent must be angel! You’re absolutely a enrichment for all the people around the world !! Love you Tracy!! ❤️❤️❤️
I heard this song for the first time yesterday. It brought me to tears. It could mean so many things; maybe the beginning of a relationship, or a last goodbye. Absolutely beautiful!!
I’m coming back to listen, my grandma just passed yesterday. This song is helping me get through. I have always loved this beautiful song but, it hits so different now.. ❤️💕❤️ 😇
I had my son taken away 5 years ago this year and this song has me in tears everytime. Such beautiful lyrics. I love you little riley pop to the stars and back. Your daddy xx
I heard this song on my grandfather’s faunal and I was crying with it because I love my grand father thanks to him for being in my life and he will watch me in heaven.
I have always been a wanderer in my life, place to place meeting people, this song makes me think about the people I have shared memories with along the way and I hope they are ok wherever they are. There is nothing better in this world than having a special place in someone's heart, to be known by others is our greatest treasure. God bless everyone.
Currently going through the most painful phase in my life right now💔Stuffed with so many thoughts all at once. Lost so much and it’s hurts and it never gets better. And this song keeps me going even though I listen to it with tears each time. It’s soothes the pain🥺
I lost my wife to a terrible OD, the noght I found her was one of my worst days ever!!my best friend arrived at my house for moral support and played this song for me of course it suited my situation so yes I played it for her funeral!!!! Thank you patrick
This song makes me weep every time, I can't listen to it without crying and I don't know why, just a gush of emotions. So many sad comments on here, wish you all the best and the strength to go through your hardest trials.
At age 13 my beautiful, loyal and amazing service lay in my arms dying from a tumour in her heart. I said the words of this song to her as I felt her take her last breath. She guided me through my life when I needed her most. Always putting my needs first. Selfless and loving... losing Bonnie was both painful and beautiful. No one knew me as completely as she did. She tried to live as long as she could.. and when she could no longer continue she picked Christmas Day to leave this world.

When you know you should not be listening to this song because it brings back memories you'd rather not recall yet you have it on repeat.
That slapped hard

Right?!! I heard this song for the first time recently when I watched “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” and I can’t stop listening even though it completely wrecks me emotionally.
This was my wedding song, for me it's about lifelong love. I love it so much
It will be mine in August as well. I knew this would be it ever since I heard it first just 18 years ago whle still a teenager.
Was my parents’ as well!
It was my wedding song 15 years ago
Same, my wedding song.
I felt this too.
My wife and I met online and had a long distance relationship for years before I moved to be with her. This is our song...
Really so lovely ..wish you happiest going forward life...hope to meet perfect partner as well

Hello how are you
Not good , I need to be with him , losing my dad was worst than losing my triplets at birth and that was hard watching my 3 babies die in my arms . I really need to be with him .

Your dad would want you to be happy and thriving in your life. He’d want you to move forward with your grief. Carry his memories, love and lessons with you as you move FORWARD WITH your grief (you never MOVE ON from losing a loved one…always FORWARD). That’s the best way to honor him. I pray you’re doing well and have found your path and peace through this life.
Your story makes me want to weep. I am so very sorry. Cancer took my dad too, when I was 16. But at least I had a year to prepare.
You keep going do things in his 5:22 memories ! Your dad would have wanted this for you!
Old memories... Someone once dedicated this song to me.
Someone very close to me that I wronged and he kept a distance from me even after apologizing. He told me he needed space and I respected his decision. Today he has sent me this song after not talking for a while. I'm happy that this could be a sign that he's forgiven me and wants us to reconnect. It's a very beautiful and sweet song.
Nice
Nobody will ever know what this song means to me very few people out there who knows what kind of emotion this song brings to a person only the true ones know.
me me me. only me me me lol
Pain and loss.
I want to have a place in someones heart .
@@tiygabaya1838 I have in my grandmothers, although one is deceased, may she rip
I think of my son when I listen to this song. I will wait till the day be with my angel again. Until then always in my heart. ❤
2019 love it still ♥️ anyone ?
Soooooooo very much. I have sent it to a lost love from forever. Hope it works it's beautiful Chapman magic!! Please say you'll be waiting . . together again . . it would feel so good to be in your arms.. . . I vow to come for you, if you wait for me!! Beautiful!!
Maybe
@@petranaylor7370 I Love that you did that. Be strong and Womanly,. If you are meant to be together, then it will be, if you have done your time together, then let that Love goooooo and focus on being YOU, in all you glory. You are magnificent, honour yourself first and foremost.....Namaste....
@@hel6ova9 Thanks. Didn't work out in the end. I will save it for someone else now! Love that you loved that though. There is a reason he's an ex. I forgot! ❤
Have been listening for 20 years. Remember being single before life even began at the age of 20.
In 2001 as a brand new soldier on United Nations in the Green Zone cyprus, I use to play this song every single night on repeat as my room mate and I went to sleep. He was called Az (Arron) and he use to hate it, he would get so pissed off haha that's army life. I loved that guy and we went through loads on that tour together. I hope that when he hears this song now he remembers those nights in that cabin in the old airport on tour. We were just gunners (no rank). I write this today as a Sergeant having seen action in Iraq, Afghanistan among other places. I haven't seen Az since 2003 when I left that regiment (5th RA) to move to Germany and be stationed out there for 10 years. Listen to this song and think of service youngsters all around the world like me and Az were, in bases and camps that are not comfortable, and remember that life is never easy.
I really needed this today. I signed over my rights to my 3 year old son when I was 22. I wasn't man enough to provide for him & his family kept him from me his whole childhood. I spent that time trying to destroy myself. 3 weeks ago my wife had my 2nd son, James. Today I'm in the position to be his daddy & I'll die before he leaves my side. I pray all the time that Matthew Jr. is happy & having a good day.
one of the saddest and most beautiful songs ever!
This might be the best song of the century.
We played this at my brother's funeral and I still can't listen to this without breaking down , beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️
I wasn't born in your era but oh Tracy if you only knew how your songs resonate with me in a much deeper vibration, thank you for such a master piece and I don't know why as a young man that I am I still love the songs and the singers from the 70's 80s & 90s, somehow I think that they are the only songs that makes me able to connect with my inner self.
I don't cry when I listen to music, but... I am incapable of listening to this song without crying. Tracy is a musical genius.
Gather here is watching “A beautiful day in the neighborhood” brought you here.
20 years gone since I first listen to this and the words still sink deep.
This voice hits something else. How is it possible to feel like crying and laughing all at once. Her voice seems to have a matter to it which intertwines and encapsulates the listener in their own little coccoon. Profound.
This songs represents my journey to finding my birth mother either here on earth , or in heaven .
me too :(
😇🙏🏽🎁
❤
As a birth mom I can only say you have never been far from her thoughts
I found my son 7 years ago. My heart was finally full. He died last year. I always thought I would have more time with him. I hope you find her and find peace.
I had split up from my girlfriend, we had been apart for a few years when she came back into my life. She gave me Tracey Chapmans album and told me to listen to listen to this song. It was great to hear as I had never stopped loving her, it fitted perfectly. We then went on to have a son who was stillborn, this was played at his funeral so this song is very bittersweet for me.
This is my favourite song of all time.
I've loved this song for years. Nowdays, I feel it with every bone in my body.
Sometimes, you just have to let go that person you thougt you'll spend your life with. Love stays in heart, you pray for them to be happy, you hope you'll be happy in the future.
And you keep going on...no choice...
It feels like people fall in love to get hurt. This is the worst feeling ever. You just can't let go, it hurts
My daughter an I loved this song. My daughter passed away in November 2018 this reminds me of her. It breaks my heart all over again
❤
I'm so sorry😢
Probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard
the most beautiful I have heard. I get goosebumps every time I hear this
Yep
Totally agree with you.
MESSIAH by Helena Softley might be a close second........barely anybody knows about it.
SPOTIFY it....before everybody finds it.
It’s a beautiful song that is sung perfectly
This girl breaks the mould only one Tracy Chapman. I grew up listening and learning. Love you Tracy.
Sean Whelan yep
listening to this song while remembering the passing of my kid brother. I can only take joy in cherishing the memories we had together all of his 11 years while on this earth. I love you to the moon Harold and we'll be together one day. You are forever my guardian Angel.
While listening this song promise l remember my friend Maria from swiden
This song speaks volumes about so many situations of life . . . the timing and simplicity of the tune and words are tremendous. Thank you Tracy for this!
My mom plays this song every time my dad goes away for work cz my dad sang it to her They are so In love I hope you find my soulmate just like they found each other ❤❤❤
I heard this song after I said goodbye to my friend in Australia, I told her to wait for me and be back soon.. I received a big hug and she whispered “don’t be to long, I’ll miss you and I love you dearly my friend”
This song attached me with a person who I promised him that I will for sure come and visit him, in another country. He expected for me, and I know deep inside, we expected this as a mark of our start in a so-called relationship. But distance is a scary weapon challenging the wait, especially we’re just in a promising phase, not yet in a relationship.
Then 2 years passing with Covid interference, i cannot make it. I didn’t even have chance to make my promise come true before I know for now he has a girlfriend. I’m happy for him, and he deserves happiness.
Sometimes, we’re heartbroken and keep thinking of a person while they’re enjoying the best of their time, without knowing abt them. I feel nostalgic whenever I hear this song, reminding me of incomplete love story. Maybe the moral story here is to just keep love inside me. Or nothing to be analyzed and let go of overthinking, and things are well organized !!
unfailinglyFaithfulness friend ya!.. happinessSunday whichAlso world'sFriendliness day cheers!.. 😀😀
It's a beautiful song
Her voice is like switch blade... Every time I hear her, my tears start rolling from my eyes..
So much heart and soul. Love Tracy Chapman.
This played at my Dad's funeral. I've been trying to find this song for so long. I'm glad I found it 😭 I love you, Dad.
MJ Younghandsome 😢😢😢😢🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

beautiful marc
I wish I knew of this song for my Dad's funeral. I've lost both parents and many loved ones. Only my Dad came for me for a brief second. I awoke one night and he was standing right next to me and my wife. He said nothing but he smiled at me and that said everything. What a gift those few seconds were.
My nan died on the 22 March 2021 and she loved this song and I love her so much and this song makes me think of her ♥️💖
I lost my baby son on Christmas Eve last year. It has been a long road for both myself and my wife, I will always remember those few special moments I got to hold you my son and I will hold them close for the rest of my days. I have been a Tracy Chapman fan for many years but this song was somehow missed until Father's Day just gone, laying in the bath with my wife and this masterpiece comes on from related CZcams videos not speaking just balling our eyes out hanging on every word of this beautiful song. This really has reached the depths of my heart and always will, thank you for making me feel my son again Tracy, I will be eternally grateful. ❤️
R.I.P your baby boy x
Everyday for the last 20 years I miss my mom so much nothing can take away the hurt but I know when my time to rest comes she will be waiting for me thank you Tracy for this song
Saying a prayer for you now, Lovey. God is so good, rest in Him❤️
One of the most beautiful songs, it reminds me of all the people missing in my life.
After a relationship ended in 1996 I was left completely heartbroken and couldn’t listen to this without crying.
2018 I can now listen to this song without a single tear and I’m thankful that relationship ended when it did.
Time heals and there’s always light just around the corner even in your darkest times ♥️
that's a repeat of my LIFE...
❤
Thanks....gives me hope...wife left me and 2 kids 2 months ago....to "have alone time".

This song speaks the words my heart speaks deep down but my mouth is unable to speak ❤️💔 hardest thing in the world is to grieve the loss of someone who was the closest to you and they are alive. The pain lingers around
Beautiful sublime song. My son died 11 years ago and his music tastes much ve me to tears or make dance in fun
Watched 'A beautiful day in the neighbourhood' starring Tom Hanks and this was part of the soundtrack. Beautiful song, we don't hear much of Tracy now. Such a talent.
I'm listening to my own funeral song when I listen to this, I've told my husband this is what i want, i spent months in hospital in 2014 and its left me with serious lung issues and the Corona virus is a very serious threat so weve completed all the Admin in case it happens I'm 38 with 2 children and life is just scary at the moment #staysafe
If I die from this virus I will be ok with that. 1999 December 23 the day after her birthday I will be with my wife Jennifer egnaty. I feel like yesterday every day. I love you always

For all of us dealing with long distance, continental and intercontinental relationships, this is for us. A song that captures the depth of a loving heart missing it's love!!!!!
Very true. Beautiful!❤🌹❤
Haven't seen both my parents for over 2 years because of covid, it feels really weird and empty from time to time, definitely makes me look at life and people differently, just wish everyone the best ❤️
In 2011 after living in Canada for a year…I had to return to the UK and left a beautiful, kind woman who I had spent the past year with. We played this song on our last night together and when we said goodbye at the airport gate I wept. A year apart was not easy. But she came to England to be with me and we played the song as she walked down the aisle in 2014. Now it’s 2022 and we are playing the song once again as our two boys play in our home.
@@johnadam7402 congratulations
For me you’re the most special and amazing singer ever…
I love your kindness, your warming voice and words!!
I’m sure someone like you with such special talent must be angel!
You’re absolutely a enrichment for all the people around the world !!
Love you Tracy!!
❤️❤️❤️
Greetings how are you doing??
Hello how are you
This song has so many meanings for me as I waited years for someone who was incarnated
😅😅
Most beautiful song EVER! Love, acceptance, forgiveness, hope...this song has it ALL!
When a song moves you to tears the first time you hear it.. Well ❤️
So true
I heard this song for the first time yesterday. It brought me to tears. It could mean so many things; maybe the beginning of a relationship, or a last goodbye. Absolutely beautiful!!
Tracy always ends up on our playlist when our friends have a braai/party. In South Africa she is a regular at all parties! 🤩 Timeless ...
I’m coming back to listen, my grandma just passed yesterday. This song is helping me get through. I have always loved this beautiful song but, it hits so different now.. ❤️💕❤️ 😇
I had my son taken away 5 years ago this year and this song has me in tears everytime. Such beautiful lyrics. I love you little riley pop to the stars and back. Your daddy xx
Dean Whyte Sending you love.
@@flowerpurple9510 thank you x
I heard this song on my grandfather’s faunal and I was crying with it because I love my grand father thanks to him for being in my life and he will watch me in heaven.
I have always been a wanderer in my life, place to place meeting people, this song makes me think about the people I have shared memories with along the way and I hope they are ok wherever they are. There is nothing better in this world than having a special place in someone's heart, to be known by others is our greatest treasure. God bless everyone.
One of the most beautiful songs by one of the most beautiful artists. Love Tracey Chapman for her gifts
2020 Still am here and still sounding so sweet than before.
This song is the epitome of love ❤️🌼🎶

Currently going through the most painful phase in my life right now💔Stuffed with so many thoughts all at once. Lost so much and it’s hurts and it never gets better. And this song keeps me going even though I listen to it with tears each time. It’s soothes the pain🥺

The movie A beautiful day in the neighborhood brought me here.
Me too. This song made me cry.
Me too . It is beautiful song
Likewise..goosebumps watery eyes powerful beautiful song.
beautiful song, great movie and a fantastic freehand sketch from you Ray Au
Most emotional scene of the movie.
Can't hear this song without tearing up. A 60-year-old grandfather still misty-eyed over a song... ,)
I lost my wife to a terrible OD, the noght I found her was one of my worst days ever!!my best friend arrived at my house for moral support and played this song for me of course it suited my situation so yes I played it for her funeral!!!! Thank you patrick
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Heard Chapman at Augustana College in Rock Island IL late 80's. She's tiny, unassuming and captivating.
This song makes me weep every time, I can't listen to it without crying and I don't know why, just a gush of emotions. So many sad comments on here, wish you all the best and the strength to go through your hardest trials.
At age 13 my beautiful, loyal and amazing service lay in my arms dying from a tumour in her heart. I said the words of this song to her as I felt her take her last breath. She guided me through my life when I needed her most. Always putting my needs first. Selfless and loving... losing Bonnie was both painful and beautiful. No one knew me as completely as she did. She tried to live as long as she could.. and when she could no longer continue she picked Christmas Day to leave this world.
my late mum loved this song. you are a genius. impeccable writer.
