  • Titre : Our Bright Future
  • Album : Our Bright Future
  • Année : 2008

Paroles :

To my father
What of your sons ?
All of your children
Even the ones
Sent out to martyr
to face the gun
Precious bodies
opposed to bombs

Led on led on
to take the path
Where Our bright future
is in your past

To our father
What of reason ?
Say what you will
Believe what you want
The records Shows What we are not
Our true desires
Not our good thoughts

Led on led on
To take the path
Where Our Bright future
Is in your past

To my father
What have you done ?
To the children
Born innocent
But come to harm
For dreams of glory
And just a Line in History


Led on led on
To take the path
Where Our Bright future
Is in your past

To our father
What good may come ?
To let the children walk alone
to fear the fail
And need no savior
To be at peace In our true nature

Lead on lead on
Clear the path
So Our bright future

May come to pass X4

Tracy Chapman

Tracy Chapman
Elle est élevée par sa mère dans la banlieue de sa ville natale. Elle va chanter tous les dimanches à l'église de son quartier avec sa mère. Elle n'abandonne pas pour autant ses études pour la musique. Elle part dans le Connecticut pour suivre des études d'anthropologie et s'intéresse aussi au métier de vétérinaire.

Après avoir eu son diplôme, elle passe son temps libre à chanter dans les bars de Boston. Elle devient alors l'une des idoles de la scène folk locale, elle est repérée par le fils du patron de sa future maison de disques. C'est en 1988 qu'elle publie son premier album, il est produit par David Kershenbaum. On la découvre le 11 juin 1988 lors d'un concert de soutien en Afrique du Sud, elle chante contre la pauvreté, le racisme et pour une amélioration de la condition féminine. Le lendemain elle vendra 75000 albums au Royaume-Uni et sera élue chanteuse de l'année aux États-Unis.

Elle participera plus tard à des concerts aux côtés de Sting, Peter Gabriel et Bruce Springsteen. À ce jour elle a sorti 8 albums et 1 best of.

En novembre 2008, Tracy Chapman sort son huitième album intitulé "Our Bright Future" et une tournée européenne est déjà annoncée pour promouvoir ce nouvel album.

  • Titre : For a Dream
  • Album : Our Bright Future
  • Année : 2008

Paroles :

I picture us together framed in gold leaf
On the mantle with the others One big happy family
But that snapshot can't be found and i don't trust my memory

But it's alright it's alright
For a Dream

I imagine we are gathered but tihs time not dressed in black
There's laughing and smilling not stabbing the back
But it's too good to be true and too bad to recall the scream

But it's alright it's alright
For a Dream

I keep half the picture Mostly in my mind
Mama dressed in white Ripped where she held your hand
Showing no sign of age just slightly trayed along the seam

But it's alright it's alright
For a Dream

It's alright
All that i can claim
It's alright
And i will have to do
It's alright
Better than the pain
It's alright
better than the truth
It's alright
Alright For a dream
It's alright
Better than the fate and the grand scheme
It's alright
It's alright

For Chrismas and for new year I wish i and i resolve
But i'm disappointed by myself Jesus and Santa Claus
I want to believe She's been saved and he's been remeemed
And it's alright it's alright
For a Dream

  • Titre : Something to see ( No war )
  • Album : Our Bright Future
  • Année : 2008

Paroles :

No war no greed Thah would be something to see
I hope I live that long

No blood in the streets
Just a distant memory
The history books recount

Now we are all free
Now we are all free

No war no greed Thah would be something to see
I hope I live that long

No want no need
The Struggle to end poverty
Finally has been won

Now we are all free
Now we are all free

No war no greed Thah would be something to see
I hope I live that long

Hold my constitution and have the courage
of the heart and mind
That right what is wrong

Now we are all free
Now we are all free
But now can't believe What you're told
You can't believe what you hear
the speeches of the politicians
Rign untrue and insincere
You can't believe what you read
You can't believe what's said

They count the target and the bombs
But do not count the dead they do not count the dead

No war no greed Thah would be something to see
I hope I live that long

Not lose my faith In every word on the page
In the face of freedom

No war no greed X 3
