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 🙏🏽💜🖖🏾
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 Zdroj: LyricFind
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.
@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.
@@wendigo53 Giving away a vital part of yourself isn't business. It's sad and sick. She clearly understands it, and she clearly understands that it's wrong.
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.
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. 💜
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'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 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.
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'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 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.
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 has stuck with me throughout my years...losses, pains , tribulations and hardships...i could always somehow sing this song and the words would ring true, no matter what i was going through....not many songs, ( or anything for that matter ) can do that...have that power to transcend....i am happy to have known this artist and her song from the beginning...and hope to remember them..at the end......
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
2022 Tracy Chapman you are one of the best artist still to this day! Bless all those listening and needing music for your soul! Keep your head high! We got this!
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
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!
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. 💝🙏
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
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.
Aaron David You can appreciate a well-made house, for instance, and not be a builder. You can also lament the shoddy buildings and craptastic architecture as is your right.
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
You never made a sacrifice Demons on my trail Standing out across the road over here I look to the left and to the right Hands grapping me every sight That bit and .....more to follow
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 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.
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 meant to, her purpose here is appreciated by everyone who loves her music, it’s rare to find an artist who is real but they are out there and they will find they’re way to you, music now says sucks you into illuminati be wise with ya music and keep ya head up 💯
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.
Those 1k dislikes must've sold their souls and unsaved themselves. This song and all Tracy Chapman's songs are AMAZING!!! Just found her on RU-vid Yesterday now im binging baby 🙂
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!!
Back in the 90 my grandkids come up for the weekend i always pick them up in my van first thing paw put on tracy Chapman they still remember that today they listen to her music
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.
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.
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
