I am battling a very rare cancer in the pancreas. I am taking chemotherapy followed with immunotherapy. I have courage to climb this mountain to the top. this song gives me that extra kick to fight it and of course with faith. I'm 55 years old.
Being young lovers in the 60s, we have found each other again after more than 50 years and now, we are together again because of a promise to meet again! Now we are finally growing old together in love and in harmony and enjoying the unconsumed love!!
Há tantos mistérios no Universo. Cada vez me convenço mais de que tudo é possível. Não há certezas, existem desejos muito fortes, alguns, incompreensíveis. Se encontros ou reencontros forem viáveis será um sonho transformado em realidade. 🙌
I used to be in a long distance relationship with my first love. (At the moment I still think he was the love of my life :). This is the song I've been listening to when things were occasionally rough. the relationship didnt work out in the end but I do remember it fondly, and sometimes I return to this masterpiece to get sentimental ;) I still miss him sometimes but such is life! So highfive to everyone who think about someone they loved/still love while listening to Tracy
How ... every once in a while I listen. My friend Paul loved to play her songs on his acoustic guitar This brings my heart to him.. he is no longer here... September 2005
I know you shall never read this but I still want to confess that I shall always have space in my heart for you. I would wish for you to find your way back to me where I shall be waiting to embrace you. I love you!
@@aishii013 fuck. That feels like a lifetime. A whole other lifes have happened since then, so much so that its such a distant memory there's not even an emotion connected to that time at all. So...the future me is passing on to you that you'll get through, i promise you. No matter what you're going through, you're gonna get through it. It may take alot of time, which feels never fucking ending when your in it, but you'll eventually make it to that light at the end of the tunnel. Getting there's the hard bit, just hold on, tight, and ride it out❤
One of the most under rated songs of all time. A true 'hidden treasure' not as featured in her album as "Give me one reason" I know 'Fast Car' is considered her defining song, but this is my personal favorite.
I lost both of my parents- in 2020 I lost dad, and in 2021 I lost my mom. They were 77 and 78. I was so close to them, and I could never imagine the world without them in it. When I hear this song, I cry and think of them and know someday, when I am ready, they will come for me, and usher me into their heavenly world in another dimension. I miss them so much, but I love life here, and have so much unfinished. I sometimes feel their guidance. I think they would be proud of me.
My momma loved her. We played this song at her funeral. We lost her unexpectedly back in 2013. Never found out the real reason she passed away. There's a huge hole in my heart. I come back to this song at least once a year. ❤
A friend of mine passed away. Weeks after her passing, her husband posted this song to her FB page, telling her that he misses her and that he feels her with him everywhere he goes.
Driving home a few days ago, I was listening to Tracy Chapman when this music started. It touched my heart and I thought of my father. He died 24 years ago, I'm 25. I barely knew him for 4 seasons, but I miss him every day. I prayed for him so many times, in the middle of the night. A few months ago, I went to see a medium, and my father left me a message thanking me for the prayers. No one knew about it but me. So if you've lost a loved one, never forget that your prayers are answered and that love is that 5th dimension that crosses space and time. Love is the only way we'll ever find each other again.
It's the ache of being far away from someone you love who, in all probability, you will never see again. But you hope and make a promise to each other just to have this person near you again. It's painful and futile but keeps you going.
sang that song to my girlfriend some 13 years ago --- Now she's been my wife and best friend for the last 12 years. It took more than a song, but the song helped.
Hai perfettamente ragione, tracy è un`angelo!! Una cantautrice unica, molto profonda nei sentimenti e romantica, e anche umile e dolce. Questa canzone è a dir poco meravigliosa. Ti saluto dalla piccola Svizzera.
Jesus I'm waiting for you every day. I have desire to be wherever you are..... I find my way back to you pls say you will be waiting... for me. Promise me...
I hope my mother is waiting for me. She made her journey 16 years ago, but sometimes still feel her and miss her. I can not wait to see her again. Love you Lady, ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!
We all have one of those lost love stories, and yes, this song will make me cry for the lost loves of everyone!! Your lost love, and yours, and even yours!! I will cry for all of them when listening to this song!! No matter who you are or when you lived on this earth, true love comes but once in a lifetime.
Loving someone from a distance is not a negative. It's an incredible joy that some people never know. I have promised my dear friend who is overseas that if we never get the chance to meet again on earth, then I will find him on the other side through space and time and past the stars and I mean it. I will find my way to him. And if not, then we will always have our meeting at Gate B1 last September.
I HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART FOR THIS LADY....FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HER VOICE I HAVE BEEN A TRUE FAN.... THIS ONE TOUCHES MY HEART AND SOUL IN A VERY GENTLE WAY. GIVES YOU A LOT TO KEEP ON YOUR MIND!!!!!!
"The Promise",Reminds me of meeting my birth mother for the first time after 54 years of wondering who she was. I traveled from my current residence of Florida to my hometown of Chicago to meet her. Upon meeting my birth mom She told everyone while in the hospital with lung cancer, she had a special guest visiting her and that was me, her oldest daughter. She looked at me and sajd " My, my what a beautiful woman you are!" Those were her last coherent words spoken to me. That was enough for me. I've been blessed.
This song is so precious to my one and only true love and I. We have found one another after 12 years. We have discovered the love we shared so long ago never died. That sacred place in our hearts kept our love for one another alive and present after all these years. With a hope that one day our world's would collide once again, and they have. All things that are meant to be, will be. Perhaps not always when we want them to. Life may have other plans, experiences and lessons in store for us, to better prepare us for that opportunity with our lost love once again. So for those of you that hold a special place in your heart for someone that was so special and precious, never give up hope that special someone will find their way back to you.
for some reason, I've not heard this song before. or maybe I did and now it speaks to me differently because of where I am now. so beautiful Ms.Chapman
Separated from my wife in July 2014 and still love her as much today as when I first saw her beautiful smile over twenty years ago. I ask the question over and over "how do I get over my lost love" ? My heart is broken and I am lost without her. Life has stopped and I can see no future without her. We have a wonderful son who I see most days who keeps me going. Thank God for him. I miss her so much....
yes great song, makes me miss my husband more than words can ever express. His name was Paul and he passed away Sept. 25, 2008. He was that gentle, once in a lifetime love.
Totally makes me think of the love that I can never proclaim. Someone that I would do anything for....but, alas, is taken so I stand humbled in the shadows of their love for another.
I really loved her,am not sure if i still do.But the memories of our life together sends a chill down my spine.She was what every man would kill to have but fate tore us apart.We are miles apart from each other but this song keeps my sweet memories alive. Loved you Ha nnie!
I know how you feel gra phix,I have been divorced from her for 20 years now but I saw her the other day and all the feelings came flooding back.IShe knows how I felt and still feel but she won't show me any notice.She is married to a guy that she says is her soulmate but he makes her cry and she does not seem happy.I guess I just have to go on and stay by myself....
gra phix I bought this record for this song...my situation is so similar to yours... 1st love never leaves you...however my mom fell in love with this song rip mom I carry u in my heart and 1 other...
Met my first love again after 26yrs in 2010. He dedicated this song to me. But we now have our own families. For the betterment of everyone, we are not in touch anymore. I wish him well & he will always be in my prayers. First love is just hard to forget.
Tracy she is so beautiful inside and out .. She has always been truly humble. She is my inspiration...Tracy Chapman has never put on a musk from the beginning of her career she has been open to the people and proud to be a gay lesbian Women... 'meny of us forget our morals "The human race has lost the values of family and friends xxx My favorite songs is the promise......
Makes me ache for a love that was deported twenty years ago, we still keep in touch every few years but life happens and despite that fact my love for him has never faded
This song was coincidentally playing in the background when me and my partner recorded our first video, we only recognised that when we watched the video. We fell more in love with each other and the song. Just like that, this became our song. We are not always together but no matter how far we are from each other, the love and memories we share make up for the distance. I love you Carly x
This song expresses everyone who loves someone and waits for him and is far away from him. I tell you not to lose hope as long as you are alive there is hope and God willing you meet whoever you love
Shamara Morris so so sorry.. i lost mine too i was 30 she was 33. ill b 45 in june. not a day goes by when i just wanna call her and catch up or say wow sis what should i do.. ugg. prayers for u
This song. This song always makes me think of my mom. She passed away in August of 2012 and this was her favorite song. I tried to do a cover but my voice isn't as good as hers.
