I think Tracy Chapman is the best female artist from 80s up to date.
Same
90s?
I'm agreeing for that respond 👍❤
Yes
sensacional mano
Most underrated singer/songwriter ever
She's not underrated among true fans
Thank you Tracy for being so beautiful my life is so far away but I can come here to find
❤
It's my favorite song from Tracy Chapman. She sounds as great today as she did 35 years ago. ❤
Love it !!
Idem !
It’s always been incredible to me that this is not everyone’s favorite song!!!
Dear Tracy,
About a year-and-a-half ago, I unexpectedly lost my brother. My brother was a writer and a great story teller.
As the boat, on which the funeral was kept, sailed away, this song played through the speakers. Telling, in my own interpretation of the lyrics, the story of my brother.
Despite our tears, my mother and me danced and reminisced about my brother to your music. Leaving a little happy memory on the saddest day of my life.
Thank you.
Auke de Peuter I just read what you said and heard this amazing song. I am sorry for your loss and it was nice you and your mom dancing. cherish that all ways. I know your bro was a good man. Be well you'll see him soon. but not yet. Enjoy life. peace to you
;~; RIP to your brother. God bless you, your mother & Tracy Chapman.
Beautiful story.
So sorry for you're los if you have roblox you can follow me and friend me I'm a good friend and always cheer people up fast
I wish she would read this
Auke de Peuter awww
Up until today, I never heard nothing like it...For someone who usually listens to metal only, this women will always be my favourite singer.
Come back Tracey, the world needs you more than ever...
This is one of my favorite songs.
Mine too.
...Give me one reason...😂
There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesn't mean
You're not just telling stories
There is fiction in the space between
You and reality
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life seem less mundane
There is fiction in the space between
You and me
There's a science fiction in the space between
You and me
A fabrication of a grand scheme
Where I am the scary monster
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
In my spaceship I am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
There's no one but you standing
Leave the pity and the blame
For the ones who do not speak
You write the words to get respect and compassion
And for posterity
You write the words and make believe
There is truth in the space between
There is fiction in the space between
You and everybody
Give us all what we need
Give us one more sad sordid story
But in the fiction of the space between
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Oh the best thing
Is the best thing
I love these lyrics...
As I too am a writer and deep thinker
Written for Author Alice Walker she has said so much for a woman of few words. I love this❤
Is that true? @@victoribass77
When the heart and the soul decide to sing together...
Well said!
Tracy Chapman rarely releases music, but when she does it’s WELL worth hearing!
This song is a masterpeice! The lyrics, her voice, the music, just beautiful, amazing!
And so relevant to what we are now seeing.
#TRACYCHAPMAN #TELLINGSTORIES Tracy is a music icon. A woman with tremendous compassion and love for her fellow human. She speaks the truth, as unpleasant as it can sometimes be 🙂👍👍👍🎸🎹🥁🎸💖❤️💜💛💚🧡💝
U speak the truth she has an authentic soul I only hope she comes to the stage ❤️🎶🙏🏻😇🥰😱🥳
This song could absolutely be about the media and news
CNN lies deliberately
I think it is, they try to call her narrative and this is her speaking out and addressing it
I know I have good taste in beauty. Tracy's beautiful. Love her dimples when she smiles.
She is arguably the best composer and music writer I ever heard ✌️
Love you Tracy.
I am 47 and unfortunately never got to see her live. I would give just about anything.....
I love this song. The whole album is great!
She wrote this mean-ass song about Alice Walker, and I love her for it, and I envy Alice Walker for being raw enough to rile Tracy Chapman.
I just discovered this too! Adds an extra layer to the song for me.
What? No way!
What! Who is Alice walker?
@@AbA-bi5dzomg
Alice walker wrote the color purple
The greatest writer and artist of all time.
That might actually be Gordon Lightfoot. But Tracy is amazing.❤
Omg this takes me back to the 90s immediately. I always loved Tracy Chapman's music. I feel she was so underatted for her time.
Still is:(
She was not, many people around the world loved and appreciated her music
Sometimes a lie 🤥 is the best thing :(
2023 and still makes you nod your head and FEEL what she really was about, LEDGEND! Many a night in jail she brought me SANITY love Tracy❤️
Is a legend, just not released since o7/08
I'll never know how this song didn't hit the hearts of every human being on the face of the planet!!
It hits mine for sure
Real music from a Real musician 🥃😎👌
💚🎼🎶💚😉
Her smile is magic. If she smiled at me, I'd probably start grinning from ear to ear without knowing why. I'd just have to smile. Another thing I just realized though is that she is not usually wearing makeup, if ever. She's just a real person.
kutty Joe...right. Never make up, beautiful smile plus I mentioned, first video I've seen or even a clip where she dances...and i"'be been a fan for 20+ years! Awesome musician! That's not even enough credit in those words. :)
She's stunning.
She's inside out and beautiful.
She is really amazing, Love her music.❤️🌈
Áá
Thank you for recognizing her talent she deserves all the awards this girl is legend❤
I just love the artistry in this video. Certainly reminds me of my bus riding days and encountering all the folks you usually wouldn't see.
One of the things I learnt growing up, cleaning up on a Saturday Morning is, "Sometimes a lie is the best thing"
She's so talented.
Here's the thing; I love Tracy Chapman as a musician,as a person.If everyone in the world possessed her compassionate nature this world would be as beautiful as it was meant to be.
This song was ahead of its time, or was waiting for its time to be born, it's a song meant for Facebook and Twitter and all of our abstract emotional surrogate machines that pass for fake intimacy these days. Such a powerful song.
great comment!
+James Diaz Ur and Ur comment is only James Joyce indeed
And here I thought it was about my ex.
+Ben Weaver is this ben from morecambe
Very thought out comment, nice.
I first listened this song 20 yrs ago
Still sounds the same. What a song!
Damn she's good!
Anyone else here thinks this storyteller Tracy Chapman’s voice still transcend time? !! Still a classic for me. Her humility, her song narratives and her overall rawness to capture the essence of life!
Love her voice, the soul in every story she sings. Been a big fan for many long wonderful years.
En 2000 j'avais la cassette acheter dans un magasin je l'ai toujours d'ailleurs un plaisir de réécouter cette cassette 👍
j'avais l'album CD "collection" et m'écoutais en boucle avec mon ex... d'ailleurs je l'ai toujours (le CD 😉)
2020 and still listen this song from time to time. I really love to have this song in my playlist.
Indeed
🖐🏻2020 and after
@@dhekyiddolma6286 2021🥳
2021 🙂
Whole album is awesome
FINALLY ! Wow, what a song.
I agree this is an amazing song one of my favorites
OH. MY. JESUS LORD . 🥺
Eúiña.ôndia Brasil.tiama
I haven't heard this song in years.
I wish Hollywood would use gifted artists like Tracy. This lady is true gift
To this world.
I'm a bus driver in Canada 🇨🇦 Tracy can dance on my bus anytime 😊
Omg. I remember when my first marriage was breaking down I listen to the song over and over.
One of my absolute favorite artists of all time. I love the stories that she tells, the rhythm, the beat, the calmness in her music. Just great music. 🎶 🎼 🎸 🎹 🌟 ⭐
Awesome! I remember the first time I heard this song and then learning how to play it on guitar. It's not that hard, but who can sing like Tracy Chapman?
come on, you can do it.
Joan Armatrading
indeed, she is unmatched. I am learning some of her songs as well but as you said 😁
Tracy Chapman can sing like Tracy Chapman. That's about it.
Hard doesn’t make a good song though does it, often less is more. She didn’t need to show off.
This song is one of my favorites by her!!! It holds SO much truth when it comes to the way society views individuals based on stereotypes and prejudice. LOVE this song!
Andie Wandie Seriously, there is si mich depth to this song.
Agree!!!
Esta canción tan linda, la pongo a todo volumen cuando estoy en carretera.
I remember listening to this album when I was 16 years old and suddenly realising that I loved every single song on it. Such a rare talent!
THIS SONG IS SO RELEVANT today!
What do you admire most about Tracy
tracy chapman, she's still relevant...a true Music icon...
Very true my dear peace be with you always ✌🙏🕊
Tracy Chapman is one of my friends pillars. She has made me feel strong. When I was weak. No gods only music.
She is really honest and pretty
Thanks for writing about all of those people who ride the bus I appreciate this don’t feel so alone 😢
My mom and I enjoyed this tour!
This song has helped me through some of the darkest and most painful days of my life, and will continue to do so. Thanks Tracy....you give me hope.
Yep, still emotional and amazing AF.
Real music!
Totally wonderful talented performer. Saw her live in Toronto absolutely amazing 👏 😍 ❤
Your voice is amazing, if you haven't heard that already.
Nobody had anymore soul than Tracy Chapman..She's amazing.
All i got is my soul 💎
One of the best songs in the world , amazing !
Easily one of the best female artists ever without a doubt!
Tracy, I know u saved so many of lives back in the day 💕 Thank you!! Yet this new generation (my child now 14 years old) need to hear your prior songs live! Plus maybe 1-2+ new ones. . xoxo ❤
Tracy Is One The Queens Of Lyrics
There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesn't mean
You're not just telling stories
There is fiction in the space between
You and reality
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life seem less mundane
There is fiction in the space between
You and me
There's a science fiction in the space between
You and me
A fabrication of a grand scheme
Where I am the scary monster
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
In my spaceship I am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
There's no one but you standing
Leave the pity and the blame
For the ones who do not speak
You write the words to get respect and compassion
And for posterity
You write the words and make believe
There is truth in the space between
There is fiction in the space between
You and everybody
Give us all what we need
Give us one more sad sordid story
But in the fiction of the space between
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Oh the best thing
Is the best thing
Humanity’s biggest hoax is that we are fundamentally different. We are fundamentally the same.
Namibia loves Tracy...Your songs have carried hope in our quest for our Independence. Love you.
Tracy Chapman's music also touches the heart in a wonderfully melanchonic way that very few artists can. 🧡💛💚
I can only imagine what inspired this song. Such a wonderful work.
It's about her relationship with Alice Walker.
So beautiful ❤
Isn't it?! Such poignant, heartfelt lyrics that make you ache for those she refers to...
@@AudiophileTubes 🤔nah friend cheers!.. 😅😅
I named my Jack Russel puppy Tracy after the legend. She herself has lived up to the Legend!!
This is my favorite Tracy Chapman song, powerful lyrics.
I love tracy chapman
After all these years, I still love this song. I think this might well be the most perfect (yeah, yeah, I know) music video ever made.
I think a lot of people just haven't heard a lot of her music, they should listen to her she is amazing
These lyrics ❤❤❤
Tracy, wherever you are at present, you are present here in my study room...I cannot stop listening to this compassionate song
There is one lady and only one lady I will ever love and that is Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman, a true gift and inspiration...we, the community of awakened individuals who HEAR you and your message to humanity, we miss your artistic presence. Continue to be blessed on your life's journey.
Love this woman she brings me joy every time I listen to her!!❤❤❤
Me too ❤️
Absolutely LOVE this tune! The lyrics & melody are both beautiful. Sometimes a particular lyric stays with you. In Telling Stories, it's "In my spaceship, I am laughing."😀♥️
So powerfull is this song. Thank you so much tracy
we need more of this kind of music.
I have always loved that song. Tracy is a gifted story teller. 💗
Beautiful brilliant lyrics and voice.
Always liked this song a lot. It didn’t get the airplay it deserved. I checked and it didn’t even make the Hot 100 in the USA. Not surprised though. The good songs tend to get forgotten.
Thank you Tracy. Legendary Goddess
phenomenal
Who's listening to this brilliant person tracy champan shes amazing i like most of her tunes n i love her hair im wantin to get the same hair as her, tracy champan always remember you r loved by millions of people ❤️💙♥️xx
Her music helped me through my childhood. Im 36 now and I am thankful for her influence. 🥰
She the best on the would no one can every good she the best
Who's still listening this music in 2020 ? 🇨🇲🇨🇲
Always!!
ME
Me, before and now in 2023.
One of my favorite songs from Tracy! So good...
I just love her soul. No one can macht it.
I feel guilty for not realising what a great artist, and songwriter, and appreciation Tracy Chapman is,and continues to be in 2020, i think she speaks to many people, and continue to do so, and be made aware that she was discovered by accident, (was she really a filler during live aid???,) it cannot be.
I applaud/respect Miss Tracy Chapman.
P,s,my hope is to see her in the UK. Derek.
Sometimes a lie is the best thing. Living in denial is how we all tend to live. Having a subjective interpretation of our acts and deeds. It's a sure way of whitewashing our individual biographies
I love the way Tracy dances in this music video :)
I tend to dance like this. Now I know where I got it from.
Nain1982 finally someone thats not 4 or 3 years old
insanity dog lol how did you know! i'm a young pup
Nain1982 no i was meaning like the comments most of them are 4 years old lol
l think it's perfect the way it is, but then again it is her song remember, she sang it exactly the way she wanted!
This artist is so amazing this music (Telling stories) is absolutely and deeply truth for mee too
AND yet do the music clip in the bus just a greaat creating
Now her songs are winning awards 35 years later
Wonderful memories, listening to you Ms. Tracy Chapman!
Tracy Chapman has such a soothing voice. I'd pay just to hear her read a list of random ingredients.
Your comment made me laugh. I would too
This song has inspired my entire art show that I will present at Craighead Green Gallery on 5/17/2014. Thank you so much Tracy. I absolutely love YOU and your music. Absolutely amazing.
This song is very deep; I wish someone had covered it and given it more due. Tracy tends to underrate her own talent.
The song has a strong country flar to it.
sensacional mano, pqp que musica
These songs definitely stand the test of time. Fantastic.
Tracy Chapmans music truly gives me peace when i listen to her music in the most chaotic timez of my life
When i get unbelievably low i spend a few hours alone playing her albums and you are right her music brings peaceful bliss
Tracy 💗💗
HAPPY BIRTDAY TOO YOU TRACY CHAPMAN 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎸❤
