  • Tracy's husky, raspy, soulful voice gorgeously expresses her genius lyrics about an untrusted lover who expects to hold her after mouthing the words "sorry" and "forgive me" and "I love you." Incredible song!!

    This song was totally underrated in America. In Brazil, luckily, it stayed at the top of the charts for several weeks in 1988.

      You know it's a great great song when Boyzone do a cover... and can't ruin it. There's a truth and sincerity that they just had to pay testament to.

    Hey Dax. Very nice reaction. I'm glad you picked this song. This wasn't one of the big hits on her first album but it was by far my favorite. She won three Emmy's for that first album by the way. The biggest hits on that album were "Talkin' Bout a Revolution" and "Fast Car" but I actually liked this song and maybe a couple more better. Each to his own I reckon. Have a good one. JC

    • @daxmusix
      @daxmusix  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Johnny. It’s also my favorite song on the album, actually by far. My second favorite is “fast car,” and then “if not now.” Glad to know that you again have great taste in music!👈😉

    I had never heard this before, nor witnessed her beauty and emotion while singing. One good reason and Fast Car were the songs I was familiar with. Thank you for this daX! She came very close to the emotional pull another has. d:o)>

    • @wendymarshall7571

    I love "Never Yours" from her Where You LIve album. As with all her music, there is that note of sorrow throughout the song, but the reason for the sorrow could have multiple interpretations,

    In my opinon and milions of music fans think Alanis Moraset is the greatist female or male songwriter of the period Thats why jagged little pill made Her the only female artist in the top ten most successful artist of all time Also the grunge movement produced real athenric song writing and prefomance I dont know what station you were listening to. That being said music is NOT a competition. Theres room all and more Its one thing that there will ever be to much of . Love Tracy

      Sorry. I rarely get sucked in. Tracy chapman is alive and last recorded in 2008. Check out all her music and poetry. And then turn to Mary Chapin Carpenter. Equally prolific. The "Shut up and kiss me" composer entertains and can be profound "stones in the road". Two wonderful, worth you time artists. Again, sorry for my error.

    I just posted the Tracy Chapman - Baby Can I Hold You (Official Music Video) to my Facebook page to my late wife Lorraine.
    My change to the lyrics:
    Sorry
    Is all that I can say
    Years gone by and still
    Words don't come easily
    Like sorry, like sorry
    Forgive me
    Is all that I can say
    Years gone by and still
    Words don't come easily
    Like forgive, me forgive me
    But I can say baby
    Baby can you hold me tonight
    Maybe if I told you the right words
    At the right time, you'd be mine
    I love you
    Is all that I can say
    Years gone by and still
    Words don't come easily
    Like I love you, I love you
    But I can say baby
    Baby can I hold you tonight
    Maybe if I told you the right words
    At the right time, you'd be mine
    Baby can I hold you tonight
    Maybe if I told you the right words
    At the right time, you'd be mine
    You'd be mine
    You'd be mine
