Free Music Review: For a Dream
Hit: 5 Stars
Attempting to write a worthy review of a single Tracy Chapman release is difficult, in the same way it would be hard to try and define a person you deeply love in a single paragraph; there's always the desire to go back and forth in time, the necessity to find a more perfect word or phrase or example deserving of the one who has so captured your heart. And so it is with this remarkable woman. Tracy Chapman has a voice equally capable of soothing a frightened child into a sound slumber, or awakening a generation to a social emergency. And as her muse has led her deep into a third decade of artistry, those wise enough to have accompanied her on her ascendant journey have undoubedly had their musical world deepened, ripened and enriched. Music should move you, but sometimes it should also shake you. Tracy knows this. If she'd not chosen to do music, I have little doubt that she would have found some other means of reaching us with her unwavering commitment to love, peace and social justice. Thankfully, she chose music, which for me is the most direct and accessible vehicle for inspiration.
I was immediately struck (and, I'll admit, a bit surprised) by the title of this release. It begged a number of questions, which is, of course, what Art should do. Is she referring to a lover? Could she possibly be so optimistic about our country's future? But just as I stated, a phrase-or in this case, a song title-could hardly hope to explain everything being said in this beautiful collection. Throughout, Tracy walks a narrow line between sadness and anger, but also with an ever-present undercurrent of hope that our "bright future may come to pass." There are personal stories, and there are songs trying to make sense of what has, and continues to go on across the planet. Through it all--the pain, the anger, the losses and the fears, she conveys, and convincingly, a genuine belief in what is still possible. Perhaps it is the most extraordinary thing about Chapman's music, and one of the reasons why people are still listening, waiting to hear what she has to say next. I think what I most love about Tracy is her ability to put her arms around any issue, large or small, personal or political, and somehow, with that rich and remarkable voice, make me feel that she is in my presence, breathing, singing only to me.
Three years ago I was privileged to see Tracy Chapman in concert, and to do so with a woman who, believe it or not, loves Tracy even more than I do. There were moments that night when the considerable distance between the stage and our seats seemed to go away, and it felt to me as if Tracy was singing only to us. And for a few minutes there, I knew she really was...
