In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
A cambio de tropiezos que da la vida
Mi mundo cambió
Mil historias escuché
El adiós vi crecer
Jamás creí que ella
Clavara un puñal en mi corazón
Tal vez mi error fue amarla
Tanto que he perdido la razón
A cambio de qué
De mil mentiras
A cambio de qué
Día tras día
A cambio de qué
Si ya no era mía
Por que jugó con el amor
A cambio de qué, estoy me estoy muriendo
A cambio de qué, estoy sufriendo
A cambio de qué
Destrozó mi alma
Me quedó una herida en el corazón
A cambio de que?
Jamás creí que ella
Clavara un puñal en mi corazón
Tal vez mi error fue amarla
Tanto que he perdido la razón
A cambio de qué
De mil mentiras
A cambio de qué
Día tras día
A cambio de qué
Si ya no era mía
Por que jugó con el amor
A cambio de qué, estoy me estoy muriendo
A cambio de qué, estoy sufriendo
A cambio de qué
Destrozó mi alma
Me quedó una herida en el corazón
A cambio de que?
Mi mundo cambió
Mil historias escuché
El adiós vi crecer
Jamás creí que ella
Clavara un puñal en mi corazón
Tal vez mi error fue amarla
Tanto que he perdido la razón
A cambio de qué
De mil mentiras
A cambio de qué
Día tras día
A cambio de qué
Si ya no era mía
Por que jugó con el amor
A cambio de qué, estoy me estoy muriendo
A cambio de qué, estoy sufriendo
A cambio de qué
Destrozó mi alma
Me quedó una herida en el corazón
A cambio de que?
Jamás creí que ella
Clavara un puñal en mi corazón
Tal vez mi error fue amarla
Tanto que he perdido la razón
A cambio de qué
De mil mentiras
A cambio de qué
Día tras día
A cambio de qué
Si ya no era mía
Por que jugó con el amor
A cambio de qué, estoy me estoy muriendo
A cambio de qué, estoy sufriendo
A cambio de qué
Destrozó mi alma
Me quedó una herida en el corazón
A cambio de que?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
