This song meant a lot to me. I went thru a lot with my first husband. He abandoned me and my 4 little kids. but I put on my big girl panty's and worked 3 jobs I was both mom and dad 30 years later my babies are Awesome adults and even better parents. I wouldn't trade those hard times for anything. thanks Tracy for keeping hope in my heart

I lived on a ranch, with my boyfriend and his friend, we were all on drugs and he would beat both of us, my friend showed me this song and told me it reminded her of herself..she had to take care of her dad....her dad had also beat her growing up...music got me through my addiction and my abuse...this is one of the songs. It gave me hope, her and I both got into the fast car 🚗 and left. I have 5 years clean in March.

@RaveriusMax 8 жыл бұрын

+30secondstomarsMBH That was actually exactly what a song was. When they were originally made, songs were almost always just stories, tales of lives from poor people, rich people, warriors, farmers, priests, city men and country women, lived by people, sung by minstrels, stories of lives in distant places, long epics, short songs. As time went on, particularly, in more modern times (maybe even as early as a hundred years ago) as it became easier and easier to get paid making music, and the saturation of the market (with the coming of the internet) music began to lose quite a lot, culminating in what we so abrasively call music today, like Whip My Hair Back and Forth, and My Humps

@30secondstomarsMBH 8 жыл бұрын

RaveriusMax Well, I like My Humps. I think music is just something with a beat and singing that impacts you well enough to want to listen to it again, whoever you are, so I could like a song but you could not and I could be the only person who likes, but it's still music. But yeah, I get you. I don't think it's satuarised , I just think it's become more accessible and there's more diversity.

@explosu 8 жыл бұрын

+RaveriusMax You've never heard any instrumental music from before 100 years ago? Also, easier to get paid to make music? Haa. Hahahaha. No. It's a lottery and a ridiculous pyramid scheme rolled into one to try to make it these days. Getting heard? Sure. Wonderfully easy, and if that's all you're after, it's paradise. But getting people to buy your work without the promotion of a good label and airtime is like asking them to donate their organs, and the money you sink into it will almost certainly not break even with your sales. Regardless, don't be so negative - there will always be music, some of it you might not like, but it's not necessarily made for you specifically. If you aren't hearing what you like, why don't you make some yourself and share?

As I became older and had my first serious boyfriend he became like the male in the song Tracy Chapman is singing about. You've got a fast car is it fast enough so we can fly away, You've got to make a decision leave tonight or die this way..them lyrics and if you've no job or plans so take your fast car and keep on driving is so my ex. I was the female in the story wanting to get myself to be some one. Too bad that I'll always better myself and my ex will never be successful as his just an idiot. I'm going places again..a new opportunity has presented itself to work. I'm stoked for this to happen. About time it starts to get better 😀💖

Michael Pollock The way I hear it. It's about a convenient store/supermarket clerk who falls in love with a married man based on the car he drives. he gives her a ride home once and she starts talking about her father, he sleeps with her and promises to leave his wife and kids but he never does. Since she keeps her private life private, there is no way to prove that she hasn't worked a checkout in order to support her music career.

I don't have a great relationship with my father due to his alcoholism...and because of it I don't have a great relationship with my mother either. The alcoholics leave a trail of destruction behind them that impacts everyone. It wasn’t until I found the Tracy Chapman classic, Fast Car that I realized I wasn’t the only person who felt this way, and that I wasn’t wrong for not loving my parents entirely … Do I love my father? I’m not sure love’s the right word. I know that you should love your parents, but it’s a two way thing and towards the end of every day he wasn’t showing any love to me, he wanted me to suffer. He never got his priorities straight. Always put the bottle before his children. I just want to say thank you Tracy Chapman, I always find solace in the song Fast Car ❤️

This song always gets me emotional. I can relate to the bad start, the alcoholic partner and failed dreams, the stregnth of going it alone. But also that vivid memory of driving in the car and those very specific feelings, like I was free, bittersweet now since it led to some poor choices.

Listening to this is like a breath of fresh air. So sick of hearing the likes of Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran etc singing about their first world issues and relationship problems.

+Polpiv4tifish Taylor swift completely understandable, she has little to no songwriting talent, but in the case of ed you cant really call having a miscarriage and your grandfather succumbing to altzheimers first world problem songs

Tracy has a true raw and absolute soul that goes deeper in the blue's be soo honest. She doesn't sing of a happy ending? No No No! She sing's about the "Thought or Idea of a happy ending"? Just the "Thought" of a happy ending is soo much more to a person who just needs a hand up? Her words come from a place that few will ever know?
