Tracy
Almost Cool Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is dumb I don't know why just making fun of that guy
I sit and wonder why I've never had a chance
I'm not the only one who's been down my pants
I sit and think about those stupid things I've done
Then I realize that you weren't the one for me
I'm staring at her boobs and I keep thinking of my girlfriend
I've noticed that she's laughing now

Tracy Is one of the few artist who stayed true to herself, fans and her music!

really nice photos - intimate, yet detached and leaves you with wanting to more - like 'almost'. i've pondered the concept of almost throughout my life (that's a long story) which is why i love this song so much. 'almost' might not count - but it reminds me that reaching 'almost' is a point in the path. we have a choice - we're either motivated by being closer to our goals OR we can turn back and revisit why we didn't get what we wanted/needed - hopefully 'almost' keeps the fire burning

I remember Tracy Chapman, when she first emerged, and I recall how fresh and original her sound was. Ever since Fast Car, she has struggled, with each subsequent offering trying to recapture the success of her earliest work. She still sounds okay, but her work no longer has any punch. For the most part, her songs are hollow echos of each other. There is nothing new; no new themes, and no more originallity. Too bad...

I really like Tracy Chapman I first heard her when I was a child which was of course Fast Car this is a great song as well much love and peace <3

I totally agree with you. From her humble beginnings in Santa Cruz, to where she is now, Tracy has remained a true artist in every sense of the word. I guess my point back then was that the music industry tries to pigeonhole artists, forcing them into doing work that is not wholly reflective of who they are. I do love Tracy Chapman's work and admire her human-ness, and her artistic vision. Thank you for reminding me to keep an open mind. I appreciate and respect your expression of opinion. :-)

I didnt want to give you up, across the ocean, and still I felt you here, almost!!! You are a ghost that haunts that could never live or be and yet within my heart, foolish, though I may be, you haunt me, Almost you make me believe in Time Machine!

I felt like that also but what I soon realized was that I was expecting the same thing from her not realising that fine artists evolve. I then found it imperative to evolve in my expectations of her or at the very least, judge her on a very objective platform with every release. The former attitude is what has made artists weak-willed artists conform to standards that in turn stunt their growth or evolution.

sounds like the words of my children silence speaks of...
