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..❤❤❤❣💯

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

[jsguinomhay]

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

This song captures the quiet desperation that everyone feels when the life they know isn’t quite how they had planned.

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

I’m 13, this was one of my dad’s favourite songs. Been weeping all night listening to his old YouTube channel’s playlists. Miss you dad ❤ hope we can catch up one day. I don’t know what you’re up to but I hope you’re ok.

[matttoftness]

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…

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.

[Skinnyorangemusic]

This is what the Grammys should be all about, turning people on to good music

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. 😇

Attention: this brilliant beautiful song just won a CMA award! I am so happy for her she deserves this.

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

[joshuamartinez]

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

[momsgrief]

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.

[kliraisakura]

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.

[johnfalcon]

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.

[Treaure]

This song is an anthem for people living in poverty, dysfunction.

[Bastet]

I only EVER want to hear this song this way, with Tracy Chapman singing!

[averilst.clair-celestain]

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.❤

1988. The year I graduated high school. This is one of the most amazing songs ever. Tracy is an absolute original and her voice has been sorely missed.
