Tracy Chapman, born March 30, 1964 in Cleveland, Ohio, is an afro-american singer-songwriter. She learned the guitar and the piano when she was a child, also began to write songs in her early days. After she finished a private school in Connecticut, she studied anthropology (the study of humans) and africanology on private Tufts University. One of her university mates had contact to the records, and so she could sign her first contract in 1987. She became famous in 1988 at the birthday party for Nelson Mandela, when Stevie Wonder cancelled his performance and Tracy came to play another time as interval act and performing some songs of her first album, named 'Tracy Chapman'. Later the year, she toured, with big artists like Bruce Springsteen and Sting, for Amnesty International. Playing folk-rock music, she lays the focus of her songs on her sociocritical texts, singing e.g. about social problems and the downside of the American Dream. Tracy Chapman awarded 4 Grammy's.
The song 'Talkin Bout A Revolution', was released on her first album. Please vote for :us: and Tracy Chapman! xcheer


Don't you know you're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know they're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know you're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

Poor people are gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people are gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know you better run, run, run,
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
run, run
Oh I said you better run, run, run, run,
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know you're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no​

Re: USA | WV33 | Let's Go To New York |

Another thanks for all the points and the 2nd Top 10 ranking in my WV history xyaaay

Of course I will send an entry to New York. The US have to take in part in their home land, also if they're not hosting!

The next artist will come from New York State and here are some hints:

Afterlife


When the world is breaking down around you taking everything that you know
What you didn't know
Is that we can go forever
If we want to we can live inside of a moment
The one that we own

You and me we got this
You and me we're beautiful, beautiful

We are, we are, we're gonna be alright
We got, we got, we always got the fight in us
And we are, we are, we're gonna live tonight
Like there's no tomorrow cause we're the afterlife

Living like you're dying isn't living at all
Gimme your cold hands
Put 'em on my heart,
Raise a glass to everyone who thinks they'll never make it through this life
To live a brand new start

You and me we got this
You and me we're beautiful, beautiful

We are, we are, we're gonna be alright
We got, we got, we always got the fight in us
And we are, we are, we're gonna live tonight
Like there's no tomorrow cause we're the afterlife

Cause we're the afterlife
Cause we're the afterlife

Every time I close my eyes
I hear your favorite song telling me
not to run, not to worry anymore,
I can't hold on tight to nothing better than the rest, so is now or nevermore.

We are, we are gonna be alright
We got the fight in us
We are, we are, we're gonna live tonight
Like there's tomorrow cause we're the afterlife

We are, we are, we're gonna be alright
We got, we got, we always got the fight in us
And we are, we are, we're gonna live tonight
Like there's no tomorrow cause we're the afterlife

Cause we're the afterlife
Cause we're the afterlife

We are, we are, we're gonna be alright
We got, we got, we always got the fight in us
And we are, we are, we're gonna live tonight
Like there's no tomorrow cause we're the afterlife​

Re: USA | WV33 | Place 15 | WV34 : Maybe a break |

Though I have some ideas for my next entry, it's quite possible, that I'll take a break, as I'm moving during the next edition and don't know how often I can go here!

Jimmy Eat World

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right

Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own (On your own)
So don't buy in
Live right now
Yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter if it's good enough (Good enough)
For someone else

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right

Whoo

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out (Feel left out)
Or looked down on
Just do your best (Just do your best)
Do everything you can (Do everything you can)
And don't you worry what their bitter hearts (Bitter hearts)
Are gonna say

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right, all right

It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right
