Beautiful, but depressing, song. Absolutely amazing lyrics.
I agree that Tracy has the saddest voice I have ever heard. Even when the song is meant to be quirky and humorous ( such as"Give Me One Reason") her voice still sounds somewhat melancholy.
My favorite Tracy song is "Moutains of Things", which my mother used to play all the time when I was a little girl. She said the first time she heard that song it make her cry. I also love "Talkin' About A Reveolution" just as much, as I believe truer words are not often spoken.

I have always loved this song. It's very relaxing to listen to and unwind after a long day.

Easily one of the best songs ever written. Tracy Chapman wrote herself a legacy when she created this piece.

So timeless and the lyrics are just so well written. There is a honesty to this that always reels me in for some reason.

Very touching and well-written song about the cycle of poverty and abuse. It almost brought me to tears the first few times I heard it. Once I really paid attention to the lyrics, it was like this for me. Although the repetition of the "be someone" lyric used to kind of get to me years ago. |

One of the best 80s songs yet it doesn't sound like a typical 80s track as it could pass as a 90s Hot AC-type track. Heard this during 101.9 the Mix's "80s at 8pm" hour when I was younger. Music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIOAlaACuv4 |

Love how the Grammy's not only put this to the top of iTunes, but also 'Give Me One Reason'
