Today's musical artist takes us to what seems like ages ago (twenty years, we had to check): Tracy Chapman. Her music is beautifully simple. In this era when pop songs are so often so very busy, Tracy Chapman's plain-poetic lyrics, acoustic guitar, and occasional violin are a welcome respite. Her lyrics always tell a story; oftentimes, it is a sad story, filled with longing and hope in the face of unhappiness. And she speaks of love, too. A broken heart still loves -- this, she knows, and tells us in her songs.
We remember many of her songs - Fast Car, Give Me One Reason, Baby Can I Hold You, Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution. Today's earworm, however, is a song we had not heard before: The Promise. It is quiet, and sad, and lovely. Say you'll hold A place for me In your heart.
We hope you enjoy.
