Oh, Tracy ...
I was going to talk about the Grammys but right at the start, this song threw me off. I have never started an awards show crying. But I did with these Grammys. Got in my feels from the fucking jump. I love this song. Tracy Chapman's 1988 Fast Car always gets me. It gets me every fucking time. If you were watching and you heard the crowd roar when it was clear it was her playing that guitar, that was me, too. So I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone... She's singing about me. That was my life. I don't even remember the name of the artist who was dueting with her on that stage. All I remember is that Tracy Chapman was singing my song. And that was enough. XOXO P.S. happy Black History Month. I’m starting it with a (most possibly queer) Black artis
