@Emz 3103 how do you refrain from married sex when you had kids. You had to have sex. U r christian and agreeing with me so agree. Theres no devil only us listen to the lyrics. If there was god could snuff him. Dont argue with someone who actuallybthinks
The devil in private woman angelic life. The devil is watching, the devil is talking shit. It appears part society accepted the unacceptable. Infos trafics and brain control.
let's not be snobbish about it either. She's just not a pop artist and that's fine because she never set out to be one. Her music transcends cultural and geographical barriers, that's what matters.
This song really speaks to my soul. I've been loving Tracy Chapman for decades now. Her music is timeless. We both were in the ABC program, we went to the same college and I stayed in the same room she was in during college. Also my married name is now Chatman...with a T instead of a P but you get the idea. I feel like she is my true soul sister. 💜
It's no coincidence that my mum played your record on repeat whilst pregnant with me and 34 years later your voice and music calms me, holds me and takes me home.
Younger people today just don't know what real music is. The nineties might be the last good decade of music. Tracy is one of the best and a lovely and purposeful reminder of what is both real, tempestuous and lovely about our times. One of my favorites.
I started listening to him at the age of 4years my late uncle and his brother listened to him every time so I would visit my grandparents during holidays that’s when I would listen to him now after 20 years that’s how I connect with them 😢😢😢
I'm 13 years old and I remember a girl of my class who was crazy about "Tracy's" not only for her music and her lyrics of good sense😎if you know what I mean💬
I've been listening to Tracy since I was 16 yrs old and started with her Album Crossroads. That was 1994. About 10yrs later I've seen her live performance in Zürich. Today is 2023, I am 45 yrs now, and still love her the same. Her music and her texts are part of my soul.❤
This song tells me when it came to the Crossroads she didn't cross.. She didn't sell her Soul that's why she dropped off the radar. Respect to those artists that just 'stop' making music 🙏🏽💜🖖🏾
She is at a crossroad- the path others choose for her, or that of her own. She chooses her own, she saves her soul at the crossroad. So much respect for Tracy for this song
I'm clean today from twenty years of an addiction of drink and drugs and by god this song takes me back to what it was like so yes I saved my soul saved myself you the girl Tracy 💙💙💙
Congratulations on your sobriety, that is so awesome to make it that far. You should be so proud. This song always makes me think of my mom and all she went through during her addictions just to over come them and turn back into the most beautiful soul I've ever met.
@@parttimeprincessfulltimetr1792 why thank you your a proud daughter of a wonderful mother as its not easy but when you get threw it one see the true meaning of life it's a blessing 💙💙
Tracy sings with the full universe within her. Save my self…we cannot change others’ hearts or states of mind but we can change ourselves. Talkin’ ‘bout a revolution… 🙏❤️🕊️
This song kept playing in my head as I made my way up a mountain this week. It’s now 7.47pm, I am sitting at my sister’s resting place, playing this for her.
Merci beaucoup chère Tracy j'ai grandi avec ta belle music avec des paroles sensées et surtout ta belle voix d'inccence. En 1993: dans la pause d'inter cours magistral tout le monde a sorti de l'amphithéâtre et j'ai pris le micro et j'ai chanté accapella ta belle chanson "moutains of things" et un après un certain temps l'amphithéâtre archi comble entrain d'écouter ta belle chanson.Une fois terminé j'ai sorti sous les applaudissements et avec ma pudeur je suis revenu une semaine après à l'université. C'est toujours un plaisir d'écouter ta belle music Tracy❤
🎶 Some say the devil be a mystical thing. I say the devil he walks in man. He a fool and liar, a conjurer and thief. Try to tell you what you want, try and tell you what you need. 🎶 - 1:48
What this song says about artistry, about the self, about sanity….unparalleled. Unlike anyone. She is truly one of the greats- and perhaps the only great who always did it entirely on her own terms. We love you, Tracy.
Tracy is one of the few artists who managed to insert compromised lyrics and social denunciation, in a genre where only millions of songs are made that talk about love or nonsense. She alone beat the system.
There's something about this woman... her music just sounds like my childhood 💖 Listening to her is the only way to get back a piece of my innocence, even if only for a moment.. which is so priceless. THANK YOU TRACY. 2020
ein schöner song, UND: eine aufnahmequalität wie von einem anderen planeten: kristallklare höhen, aberwitzig tiefe bässe, und das alles OHNE das geringste dröhnen, wummern, einfach PERFEKT. warum können das andere nicht so ? ATEMBERAUBEND
I always thought I understood this song until I too was at a crossroads. Thank you Tracy for inspiring me to keep protecting what I keep inside, and the reasons I live my life. I get it now, sis. ❤
I grew up listening to Tracy Chapman. We weren’t allowed to watch tv in my house but there was always music… always. I spent so many nights growing up laying in my bed crying praying for God to save me. To change my life and take me out of the situation I was in and listening to songs from Tracy pour through the house. I didn’t know it then but God was helping me through the music. I wouldn’t have made it without it
Bonsoir Tracy Chapman, Chanteuse Soul Américaine (excellente interprète, Compositrice chansons qui traversent le Temps depuis 40 Ans Chansons reposantes, j'ai l'habitude d'écouter de la musique exceptionnelle et de qualité, j'ai l'habitude d'écouter de la Musique originale Tracy Chapman fait partie du TOP 5 (Fast Car, Crossroad et autres) Musique indémodable (Jérôme).😃🤟👍(j'encourage les artistes même s'ils ont eu une brillante carrière)
She released her earlier albums around the time I was a born or at least a year old and believe me, I grew up on this vinyl playing. I appreciate today's talent, but this here is class.
If most of you only knew the truth of this world, who rules it, and how dark the music industry is, you'd realize just how powerful, deep, true, and beautiful this song...this woman really is. It has so much more meaning, more brutal truth and power than most ppl realize or would even believe
One of todays best artists. She is real. She sings from her soul. The lyrics come from her heart and her guitar playing is a God given talent. A rare gem.
A singer like you is almost impossible to find today. I can still remember 1998 very well. Her first LP is still playing in my house today . Her songs have depth paired with a great voice and are full of life. She never bent in front of society. 💝🙏
My late uncle passed on April 2004.... he was the one who introduced me and my siblings to Tracy..... even today in 2023, she remains my favourite..... I remember in 2007, i listened to her songs every single day for the whole year.....that's how much i loved her
Первый раз услышал Трейси в 1986. Был студентом в Харькове. Кубинец привез ( царство небесное, Мигель - очень хороший человек был). В СССР такого не было....Мне уже 54 года - Любовь и уважение осталась навсегда! Не очень понимаю английский. Переводить даже не хочу. Это просто родное и молодость! Такие вещи на подсознании проходят. Спасибо ей за то, что она есть!
I've been listening to her since I was 16 years and now I am 32 years.People always said I have an old soul, but I believe if the truth,love,wisdom and understanding of the world from a deeper perspective is what you seek in life,her music will definately resonate with you.She is still my all time favorite musicial
I first heard Tracy Chapmen while repainting the youth leaders living room. She had this album on CD. I learnt so much from her messages, like what it means to put soul in your perspective. To know the real value of whats pure and true in this world. To see through facades in others. To know dignity comes from within.
They did Tracey like they did India Arie....but when this guy did her song now she gets acknowledged....still glad she got it her music is a variety all in one folklore ballads with a blues twist...she is creative and has a unique sound. Way overdue...but still glad she got acknowledged. 🎶💯🎸..who is the guitar player other than Tracy in the song Give me one reason. He almost got B.B. King beat.
From France. Thank you Tracy. The first time y listened your voice and your music, i was 16 years old. Today, 50. And i continue going at work with you. And others of course. But you.
Love you so much Tracey chapman....you are my favourite artist of of all time not just because of your all inspiring lyrics which by the way are genius I love your morales which even Jesus him selfwouldbe proud of and I’m not even a religious person.. love you xxx
I have been playing this song everyday since I discovered it 2 months ago. Something about this song speaks to my soul........takes me to a happy place. Tracy.....you are so underrated but truly appreciated and admired.
I still just can't believe this song came out in 1989! I was born in 1988 but actually never heard this song until recently, I thought it came out in the past couple of years, went to look it up as my jaw dropped! 🤯 It was so ahead of its time!
I've listened to this fabulous woman since I was a child. She sings to my soul. Grace, beauty, wisdom, passion and conviction and strength; all these things is Ms. Tracy. I love you woman!!
Heard Tracy's music 1st time thanks to my elder brother. Every time I listen to her he is automatically associated to it, thanks my lovely bro for this wonderful discovery in my life!!
I'm going through I hard time right now. Any time I'm going through difficult times I listen to this song over and over again to lift my spirits and remind me that I'm going to eventually be ok.
Sie hat mir geholfen erste Schritte in meine libeskummer zu machen .Das war in 2013.Ich kann sie nie vergessen. Ich musste viel weinen. Ihre hat mir Zuversicht gegeben ❤
Instantly timeless - integrity is paramount and you can have nothing more without it. It is the root of love and faith an abundant life GOD desires for us all.
I love all of Tracy's songs this is beautifully sang her style is so unique ❤❤ say all you demons go back to hell gotta save my soul gotta save myself powerful lyrics
My ❤ strings were pulled. This is the 1st time ive seen her live! For 30+yrs I've stayed loyal to this woman. She stayed real to herself, down to earth. Her lyrics should have her likened to Martin Luther King! Her souk is old and deep and wise and she refuses to be enticed into the Hollywood/ Celebrity circle. She knows fake and she knows she's not them. They're everything she stands against ❤
Tracey - I have listened to you since I was an 8 year old girl. I will never forget the memories of those days and how your music was everything to me in the entire world. Much respect and love.
had a love affair listening crossroads .... but in the end I am happy again with my love of my life !!!!!!!!!!!!! and she is happy with me ... crossroads sometimes are through roads ...
It's amazing how famous Tracey Chapman is. Considering she hasn't released any music in nearly 13 years and rarely gives interviews or is on TV (because she doesn't like the spotlight) yet is a millionaire and one of the most famous living singers today. She even passes the mum test. You know your famous if my mum has heard of you lol
She has inspired me to an incredible degree. I can’t explain the level. I first heard her at 8 years old, I was in awe of her vocal style. So dynamic. Four years later,the very first opportunity I had, I began playing guitar. She is and has been a inspirational force in the last 30 years of my playing and the last 14 years of my professional music career.
SAME AS MYSELF SO MUCH UNDERRATED EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO HER IT TAKES ME BACK TO PALACES AND MEMORYS WHICH ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ONE'S OF MY LIFE SHE (TRACEY) HAVE HELPED ME IN WAYS THAT PEOPLE COULD NOT HAVE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN A FAN FROM THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO HER AND ALWAYS WILL BE 100% RESPECT FOR HER AND ALWAYS WILL BE THANKS (TRACEY FOR GIVEING ME AND OTHERS YOUR GIFT YOU ARE A SPECIAL PERSON YOU'RE MUSIC IS SPECIAL AND ALWAYS WILL BE NUMBER ONE TO ME AND OTHERS THANKS GOING TO LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC SOON AS I SEND THIS ✌🏴✌🔊🎶🎶🎶(FAST 🚘🚗🚘
So much more she is and glad all appreciate on oxygen and sleep apnea so thankyou for all replies, she has soul heart and is amazing, I am new to all reply things getting old as we do. But she always makes and takes us back forever and always.❤
I found tracy chapman songs whilst in prison .... got me through some long days in there.... now a big fan!!! Jus picture myself in a field at one of her concerts as the sun is going down and just absolutely vibing to her songs!!! Would be bliss!
You are by far my favorite artist i grew up in a 3 bedroom house in Bulawayo Zimbabwe and in our bedroom we had your pic on the wall i can go on and on just thought u shud know you bring peace to my soul... I love you
I remember hearing this song for the 1st time. It woke me up as my brother was playing it in his room. Young as 8 yrs. I fell in love with the melody as years passed started to understand the lyrics ad I stole my brothers CD. Hope he never gets to see this message 😎
My father introduced me to Tracy Chapman in the 90's...am now 37. I still listen to her
My mum did and I'm 37 now 😂
My dad did too and I'm 31! lol. I thought it was a man at first lol! I love her voice and her aura is quite pleasant.
Same, im 37 too. My friends mum had the album and we used to listen to it
Me too bro my father introduce me him at the same time rest in peace my dad
87 baby caught on late 90s never looked back 🇬🇧
Tracy Chapman, know that your voice came to me, an 18 year old boy in a small town in southern Brazil, bringing me strength and courage. Thank you!
Seja forte em tudo o que estiver passando, meu amigo!
@@jay4you853 Obrigado. Então, que sejamos fortes, Jay ; D
Strength to you brother
The world is not as bad as it sometimes seems!
@@uwes8112 It's really a lot worse than it appears to be but we can find consolation in the beauty and goodness that still exists.
She didn’t sell out, she didn’t sell her soul, maybe that’s why she isn’t mainstream.
Yes, she did not sell, the words are quite clear...
You mean, she didn't understand the *_business part_* of the music business?

Lyrics:
All you folks think you own my life
But you never made any sacrifice
Demons they are on my trail
I'm standing at the crossroads of the hell
I look to the left I look to the right
There're hands that grab me on every side
Mmh, mmh
Mmh, mmh
All you folks think I got my price
At which I'll sell all that is mine
You think money rules when all else fails
Go sell your soul and keep your shell
I'm trying to protect what I keep inside
All the reasons why I live my life
Mmh, mmh
Mmh, mmh
Some say the devil be a mystical thing
I say the devil he a walking man
He a fool he a liar conjurer and a thief
He try to tell you what you want
Try to tell you what you need
Mmh, mmh
Mmh, mmh
Standing at the point
The road it cross you down
What is at your back
Which way do you turn
Who will come to find you first
Your devils or your gods
Mmh
All you folks think you run my life
Say I should be willing to compromise
I say all you demons go back to hell
I'll save my soul, save myself
Mmh, mmh
Mmh, mmh
Save my soul, save myself
Save my soul, save myself
Save my soul, save myself
Save my soul, save myself

Thank you for putting the words up x
Thank you
She never sold out, beautiful lady
Damn! Thanks for dropping the lyrics to help us understand the song better.
Currently fighting a spiritual battle and i just wanna say thank you for telling me that all i really have is my soul
This is a song of a person who's refusing to compromise their intergrity for money, power and fame.
tho maybe hell or savior shouldnt be mentioned when choosing to be gay
@Emz 3103 how do you refrain from married sex when you had kids. You had to have sex. U r christian and agreeing with me so agree. Theres no devil only us listen to the lyrics. If there was god could snuff him. Dont argue with someone who actuallybthinks
True, and she never did.
Yes
The devil in private woman angelic life. The devil is watching, the devil is talking shit. It appears part society accepted the unacceptable. Infos trafics and brain control.
Perhaps she is not underrated. The wise just happen to be her target audiences.
The truth: The world has few wise people
The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
let's not be snobbish about it either. She's just not a pop artist and that's fine because she never set out to be one. Her music transcends cultural and geographical barriers, that's what matters.
welcome to the narcisism
Martin Matshidze
that's true ... the truth .... !!!
only wise people can write these letters in this order !!! thanks a lot !
Well said sir ,this is the problem with todays generation.
This song really speaks to my soul. I've been loving Tracy Chapman for decades now. Her music is timeless.

Aww! That is amazing! I love her soul. She has always touched me quite deeply.
She speaks the truth. I love her!
Wow..definitely spirit sisters💫
Wow!!! That’s very special, you’re definitely soul sisters!!!💜 God bless her
Thank you girl I adore her t

She had some good tunes.

I’m having goosebumps, seeing Miss Tracy Chapman holding her tears 😭 and admiring Luke while they singing that’s pure Gods love and very magical
This is the kind of woman you never want to shut up
One of the greatest songwriters ever. Highly underrated bc she wouldnt sell out...
I don't think she was underrated. She had huge recognition back then and she has huge recognition now.
Who is here in 2024?
Back on my playlist after all the "fastcar" hooplah 😂 lately // she has more joints/bangers/heaters n tear jerkers than 1 😂

Who cares what year it is?
Me, still loving this❤
this was always her best song
What a delivery of vocals! Ms. Chapman's music has been a staple in my life for decades! Fast Car took off and the airways were blessed!

Cette musique apaise tellement, elle est hyper belle
Merci pour ton talent mis a notre disposition beauté infernale

You are so right! She's so real.
Its sad

Exactly
💯
Yeah
That's why she fell off sadly
The best female artists of all no cursing just real talent
Her songs are for the ones who really know what music is all about!!!
Facts
Absolutely Right Amazing
Yes I do agree
Tears from inside surfaced i donno even know how deep this got me....feels reborn again
Back when songs had meaning, we all found ourselves at crossroads at some point in our lives and had to choose the right direction
I am 64 years old and I still love listening to her music 🎼 she’s real with her words thank you 😊
She is timeless, it's 2020!

I've been listening to her since I was 16 years and now I am 32 years.People always said I have an old soul, but I believe if the truth,love,wisdom and understanding of the world from a deeper perspective is what you seek in life,her music will definately resonate with you.She is still my all time favorite musicial
I first heard Tracy Chapmen while repainting the youth leaders living room. She had this album on CD. I learnt so much from her messages, like what it means to put soul in your perspective. To know the real value of whats pure and true in this world. To see through facades in others. To know dignity comes from within.
They did Tracey like they did India Arie....but when this guy did her song now she gets acknowledged....still glad she got it her music is a variety all in one folklore ballads with a blues twist...she is creative and has a unique sound. Way overdue...but still glad she got acknowledged. 🎶💯🎸..who is the guitar player other than Tracy in the song Give me one reason. He almost got B.B. King beat.
Big Facts 👏👏
She's one of the greatest ever .......does not get enough credit
Real dont count anymore....shes so moving gets inside of you
Like a visa card?

I have been playing this song everyday since I discovered it 2 months ago. Something about this song speaks to my soul........takes me to a happy place. Tracy.....you are so underrated but truly appreciated and admired.
I admire you. From a small country in Africa, thank you.
What country in Africa could that be?
My favourite musician of all times. I know all her songs. I'm from South Africa and I love you and your music with all my heart ❤
I still just can't believe this song came out in 1989!
I was born in 1988 but actually never heard this song until recently, I thought it came out in the past couple of years, went to look it up as my jaw dropped! 🤯
It was so ahead of its time!
True! I was born in 1989 and I used to think fast car is the best song ever until I heard this one in 2014❤❤❤.
Discovered for more than 30 years ans still listening to this masterpiece at 17/02/2024

Heard Tracy's music 1st time thanks to my elder brother. Every time I listen to her he is automatically associated to it, thanks my lovely bro for this wonderful discovery in my life!!
كنت استمع اليها سنة 1991 عندما كنت عسكريا صوت جد رائع شكرا لكي تريسي
I'm going through I hard time right now. Any time I'm going through difficult times I listen to this song over and over again to lift my spirits and remind me that I'm going to eventually be ok.
Hope you’re doing better!!

Woke up with this song in my head this morning after asking for guidance......here it is 🙏 so much gratitude xxx
Sie hat mir geholfen erste Schritte in meine libeskummer zu machen .Das war in 2013.Ich kann sie nie vergessen. Ich musste viel weinen. Ihre hat mir Zuversicht gegeben ❤
Tracy is a GENIUS, She is up there. With Elvis,MJ, ,Anita Baker,Yanni,Celine Dion,Brian Adams ,Gaga ,very authentic to the CoRE !
Instantly timeless - integrity is paramount and you can have nothing more without it. It is the root of love and faith an abundant life GOD desires for us all.

No one makes real music anymore... if it doesn't move the soul it's really an empty bowl... no food, no water, no life. Tracy is magical...
When i heard this as a kid my subconscious already took note , now i think this is one of the best songs ever.
I love all of Tracy's songs this is beautifully sang her style is so unique ❤❤ say all you demons go back to hell gotta save my soul gotta save myself powerful lyrics
My ❤ strings were pulled. This is the 1st time ive seen her live! For 30+yrs I've stayed loyal to this woman. She stayed real to herself, down to earth. Her lyrics should have her likened to Martin Luther King! Her souk is old and deep and wise and she refuses to be enticed into the Hollywood/ Celebrity circle. She knows fake and she knows she's not them. They're everything she stands against ❤
Quelle voix, depuis plus de 30 ans, je ne m'en lasse pas, elle reste ma chanteuse préférée 🤗
Tracey - I have listened to you since I was an 8 year old girl. I will never forget the memories of those days and how your music was everything to me in the entire world. Much respect and love.
I am 8 years old
Noodles to you too always
"I'm trying to protect the things I keep inside, the reasons I why live my live..." BEAUTIFUL!
Angela Hodges peace. SYAY BEAUTIFUL. believe ALWAYS
I agree
I take as note few statement and I know exactly what she mean
had a love affair listening crossroads ....
but in the end I am happy again with my love of my life !!!!!!!!!!!!!
and she is happy with me ...
crossroads sometimes are through roads ...
That's all
It's amazing how famous Tracey Chapman is. Considering she hasn't released any music in nearly 13 years and rarely gives interviews or is on TV (because she doesn't like the spotlight) yet is a millionaire and one of the most famous living singers today. She even passes the mum test. You know your famous if my mum has heard of you lol
" I'm trying to protect what's inside" deep, and honest. you are an awesome song writer.
I grew up with Tracy Chapman, I absolutely love her. Her music and it's messages have followed me and guided me into who I am today.
She has inspired me to an incredible degree. I can’t explain the level. I first heard her at 8 years old, I was in awe of her vocal style. So dynamic. Four years later,the very first opportunity I had, I began playing guitar. She is and has been a inspirational force in the last 30 years of my playing and the last 14 years of my professional music career.
SAME AS MYSELF SO MUCH UNDERRATED EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO HER IT TAKES ME BACK TO PALACES AND MEMORYS WHICH ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ONE'S OF MY LIFE SHE (TRACEY) HAVE HELPED ME IN WAYS THAT PEOPLE COULD NOT HAVE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN A FAN FROM THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED TO HER AND ALWAYS WILL BE 100% RESPECT FOR HER AND ALWAYS WILL BE THANKS (TRACEY FOR GIVEING ME AND OTHERS YOUR GIFT YOU ARE A SPECIAL PERSON YOU'RE MUSIC IS SPECIAL AND ALWAYS WILL BE NUMBER ONE TO ME AND OTHERS THANKS GOING TO LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC SOON AS I SEND THIS ✌🏴✌🔊🎶🎶🎶(FAST 🚘🚗🚘
So much more she is and glad all appreciate on oxygen and sleep apnea so thankyou for all replies, she has soul heart and is amazing, I am new to all reply things getting old as we do. But she always makes and takes us back forever and always.❤

Tracy 💎 Chapman I discover you songs once again along the years as new revealing tunes and messages. 35 years now. 😊
I remember hearing this song for the 1st time. It woke me up as my brother was playing it in his room. Young as 8 yrs. I fell in love with the melody as years passed started to understand the lyrics ad I stole my brothers CD. Hope he never gets to see this message 😎
"Give me one reason" not to listen to Tracy Chapman's music. Nope not one. Beautiful, sincere and takes me where I wanna be.
I have played this song on repeat for the last 2 hours. Thank you for creating this MASTERPIECE. 💜
