I just listened to it 4 times ...I don't feel it's underrated.

Probably because the main singer is black and a woman.

@ Just like Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston? Your woke logic needs some honing.

@ 🤣🤣nonce

@thomas brunn Sorry, I'm afraid I've lost the thread so I'm not sure as to the reference, could you explain? Thank's.

Yeah its a great song. First found it on one of the radio stations in a video game called "grand theft auto IV" Also heard it in the movie "silence of the lambs" great song.

It was featured in the movie the silence of the lambs. One of the most epic scene in that movie. It opened the floodgate of expression and what was to be the acceptance of all. As well as the reality that there existed a number of feelings that could not be easily explained.

yes i feel the same its like being in a meditive state L

Well then watch Silence Of the Lambs for one of the most famous scenes in it

makes me want to make a suit made of women's hides.

I was in the ARMY when I found it on the"Married to the Mob" soundtrack.

@Peeping Tom Sooner or later we all have to come to terms with the fact that we are meat bags with fluids and rise above that. Some only get it as they draw their last breath, some find the strength to figure it out sooner. I hope I'll find the strength.

@@simonfrederiksen104 I don't believe in god, as only an evil god would create this world....but I have seen that the afterlife exists....so it is puzzling. When I die I guess I will know more.

@@fortheloveofnoise If there is a "God" it is obviously beyond our comprehension. For all we know black holes in space may be it's eyes. But I believe it's very human to put the question forth, otherwise we would still be climbing trees with our brothers and sisters. Besides, good and evil are human concepts, part of our tendency to put a label on everything, put it into an order we seem to be able to control on some level, when more often than not control is beyond us, control of ourselves, control of those around us, or the world we live in.

Now makes even more sense. Thank you 💗😌

@@fortheloveofnoise Consider the fall of mankind as an explanation, just as described in the Bible.

Last I heard was she was bus driver in New York, Incredible waste of a very talented artist. Such a powerful voice.

She recently died. RIP Diane

It's practically addictive. Especially since we have all this painful and depressing year. Images are really looking disturbing

Yep

@@marekwojtowicz3005 it's totally addictive I've just listened to it like 8 times in a row lol

This song still seems as fresh as the first time I heard it ( nearly 30 years ago ).

@@Wolvieonepunch try something like 36 hours - at around 18 to 20 hours, at the latest, your mind expands

this song became popular in the early 90s

Out of Africa the Human Race

Definitely! ;)

yes i was thinking the same thing

I'm having Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep.

"Q" as in "Quiana". Her given name was Diana Quiana. You're welcome.

Very unfortunate. I always wondered what her story was. RIP, if so.

Really sad

M Perkins Awesome thanks for that

Someone found her recently and she's a bus driver on Staten Island.

um, how is that sad that she was able to escape an abusive relationship? would you have been happy if she didn't get out of that relationship? Ha ha

That's a good boy! Keep your co-workers guessing.

Are your dreams possible, or did you already make them real? Mine are not U-U but I wish you more lucky.

Alejandro Sintes Ruiz de la Escalera U-U? What does that mean? Man you have a LOT of names LOL!!! Pretty cool!

That's exactly how I felt when I was going through a personal hell. Such a beautifully honest song. Stay strong my friend... :-)

do you think the track being used as a track for the killer in silence of the lambs, his imitating a woman as bets he could and as how he saw women, might have given him this gender bending perspective? ... great voice, but I would think Q is more part of a band, where as Nina is the music, with the band almost being incidental... so "I must disagree sir" :)

Daniel Murray I totally agree. I’ve been listening to this song since I was 11yo in the 80’s and only in the last 4 years or so learned it was a black woman. Until then, I too, thought it was another all white New Wave band, possibly from London, like the Pet Shop Boys or Depeche Mode or something. I have a killer 80’s New Wave playlist I’ve been cultivating over the last couple of decades and this song is in the top 25 for sure. One band I notice people forget when they make these playlists are The Cure. They were, in my opinion, the absolute best of those bands. ValePlace I don’t think so tho. It’s a good theory but I had already been a fan of this song with that assumption in mind, gotten sick of it and stopped playing it and THEN “The Silence Of The Lambs” came out and resparked my love for this song. I got sick of it again eventually and only occasionally heard it on my 80’s playlist when Clerks 2 came out and reignited it again LOL

"on the rise", perhaps, but that doesn't = "next Nina Simone", since Q was a very different genre from Nina.

He'd probably seen "silence of the lambs" and the song reminded him (subconsciously) of the "tooth fairy".

@Neg Ative The Cure are being forgotten as an 80s Post punk/new wave/goth playlist staple? For shame! When I think of that era, The Cure along with Joy Division damn near steered the entire course of music that entire decade. Bauhaus, Siouxee and the Banshees (which Robert Smith also played guitar in for a bit), New Order (Joy Division post-Ian Curtis's suicide), Echo and the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, The Church... all heavily heavily influenced by The Cure and Joy Division. It is funny though, the earlier years of the Cure set the tone but it wasn't until 10 years later coming into the 90's after the back to back gems Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (88) Disintegration (89... widely considered their "masterpiece" with Love Song, Lullaby and Fascination Street and Pictures Of You all on it) they really popped. I guess I see your point, haha.

Yes you are right....im afraid to say I thought was a man singing.....great song

@@withapulse2000 I thought is a man myself!

it was a man

VIDEOSUPERHIGHWAY Awesome - I want that! Is that on KZfaq?!? What’s the name of the mix?

VIDEOSUPERHIGHWAY

I would love to see this 14 min cut Did you find it ? Love B.B

Do you still have the record White with Blood spatter ? I want to see it

Out of Africa the Human Race

Right, she's singing 'Heaven' by Talking Heads!

Nicola Mcdermott Well, have you seen how it is used in the movie “Clerks 2”? It’s really good - Maybe that will be more to your liking? You can watch it here on KZfaq

Deep, dark, gothic, alternative, emo, Retro, 80's work of perfect ART!

jorge javier rodriguez Apparently there is a very hard to find 14 minute version, as well. I am currently looking for that mix

LET US KNOW WHEN EVER U FIND IT MY FRIEND I'M GONNA 🐝 ON THE LOOKOUT 4 IT 2👍👍👍👍

Zoch Buppet Was talking with my pal today about this tune...we where trying to work out how we found it. Both said Tracy Chapman neither of us like her music but love this. Go figure

@@xeniumxneum8006 Hard to believe that there are people out there that don't like Tracy Chapman's work...Oh well, different strokes and such...

Asked three very clever “Oxford educated” people to give me an explanation of the meaning of this song. Not one could. It’s mysterious, spiritual, sinister and beautiful. But what does it all mean? That’s it’s timeless appeal. My interpretation is the ephemeral nature of our existence and this planet. Hope v. Despair.
