Tracy Chapman - Fast Car (Official Music Video)

We Love you Tracy!!! My wife and I got married in 1986 I was 17 and she was 16 and Pregnant.. I remember us lying in bed listening to this song over and over it brought us some comfort in our little crazy world.. 37 Years and 4 Kids later we still love this song..❤❤❤❣💯

This song is what gave me the power to leave my abusive family behind at 18, the power to leave when i was alone and pregnant at 22 because the father tried to hit me, the power to travel because thats what makes my soul free. From the bottom of my heart thank you for your words and the beauty of your music Tracy Chapman this song has driven my life since i was a small child.

June 2024, who is with me?

Tracy Chapman's Fast Car was my grandson's favorite song. He's in Heaven now and every time I hear this song it makes me feel sad and happy. He's no longer struggling and I know God welcomed him with open arms. My precious boy can hear his song forever.

Raise your hand if seeing Tracy Chapman perform at the Grammys made you shed a tear or two. Thank you for sharing your gift with us again.

Testament to how powerful a quiet unpretentious presence can make. Tracy Chapman is a powerhouse of talent and yet she is humble, and simple in her delivery....she shut the Grammys down. Absolutely amazing presentation. What a gift to see her perform live! Thank you for creating such a poignant message that will resonate for generations Ms. Chapman.

I never thought that the most touching words in a song would be "Be someone, Be someone, Be someone" im crying while smiling typing this❤️ Thank you so much Tracy

Tracy’s version is the best; you can sense the need for love and her desperation to break free from her situation. She totally sells this song. After all these years I’m still listening. Timeless…

I'm 26 years old, my brother and I were very close, we worked together, drank, everything. He died in 2018 in a motorbike accident, this was one of his favourite songs, he was 31 when he died. I'm a man but I cry when I listen to this song. Wish I had more time with my brother

I bought the album for my boyfriend at the time, he died a year later in 1989. The entire album is a gem. Congratulations Tracy Chapman on your CMA 35 years later.❤

This is mine and my daughter's song. She passed on June 11th, 2024. My heart is so broken 💔. I am so blessed to be her mama and when I hear this song, I will always picture us dancing together and being us. She had non verbal autism and epilepsy. It has always been just me and her. Everything changed in a split sec. Our memories will always remain. WE ALL miss you monkey. You are a beautiful angel in heaven, as you are on earth. Much love and many blessings to all. Stay safe and cherish every single sec that you have here, with the ones you love. 😇

It's crazy how this song stays relevant throughout these years. That's a definition of a true songwriter, and she aged like fine wine

This song is for all of us who didn't grow up in an ideal home environment. We can make something of our life and be someone despite of what we came from. We can be someone because of where we came from. Never lose hope.

I'm a 43 year old metal head and I still believe this is one of the best songs ever written.

One of the greatest songs of all time. Timeless and universal. Thank you, Mz. Chapman! You're amazing.

I remember this song coming out back in the early to mid 90s. Since then I can't recognize the world like I used to. Nothing familiar now it seems. Just turned 41 and still coming back to these songs that are so much more special to me now than then. As if we all lost our collective familiarity with the world at some point in time that we can't fully recall. Anybody else feel this way ever?

The fact that so many people don’t realise this song is from 1988 is a testament to how great it is. The lyrics are a poem, great story telling

This afternoon, my fourteen year old daughter (who has been taking guitar lessons for 3 ½ years now) told me that she had begun learning a new song. She'd heard her teacher playing it and asked to learn, because she knew it was a song I liked. The moment she started, I broke down in tears, because it was this song. It was also the very first song that I asked my guitar teacher to teach me when I was younger than her. This has been my favourite song for the majority of my life and it is bred into the hearts of my children. It is such a powerful statement, a beautiful piece of art and I am so very thankful that Tracy Chapman wrote this and stood up and sang it.

loving this in june 2024!!!

I’m leaving my comment here so when someone likes it, I can listen to this masterpiece again.🤩
