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.
Seven stars in the sky, in the sky
You're feeling sociable
Silver stars in your eyes, in your eyes
You feel emotional
And you don't even know my name
And I know every constellation
Simple lives we once left behind
We're so distracted now
Secret lives we have lived inside
We're going backwards now
And you don't even know my name
And I know every constellation
So you know the rhyme, so you know the rhyme
Do you know the reason, did you wonder why?
So you know the time, so you know the time
Do you know the seasons in your mind?
We're going backwards now
Silver scars in your hand, in your hand
I know it's seasonal
Several times I have heard your demand
You're so unreasonable
And you don't even know my name
And I know every constellation
So you know the rhyme, so you know the rhyme
Do you know the reason, did you know the rhyme?
So you know the time, so you know the time
Do you know the seasons in your mind?
And you don't even know my name
And I know every constellation
So you know the rhyme, so you know the rhyme
Do you know the reason, did you know the rhyme?
So you know the time, so you know the time?
Do you know the season in your mind?
So you know the rhyme, so you know the rhyme
Do you know the reason, did you wonder why?
So you know the time, so you know the time
Do you the seasons in your mind?
We're going backwards now
You're feeling sociable
Silver stars in your eyes, in your eyes
You feel emotional
And you don't even know my name
And I know every constellation
Simple lives we once left behind
We're so distracted now
Secret lives we have lived inside
We're going backwards now
And you don't even know my name
And I know every constellation
So you know the rhyme, so you know the rhyme
Do you know the reason, did you wonder why?
So you know the time, so you know the time
Do you know the seasons in your mind?
We're going backwards now
Silver scars in your hand, in your hand
I know it's seasonal
Several times I have heard your demand
You're so unreasonable
And you don't even know my name
And I know every constellation
So you know the rhyme, so you know the rhyme
Do you know the reason, did you know the rhyme?
So you know the time, so you know the time
Do you know the seasons in your mind?
And you don't even know my name
And I know every constellation
So you know the rhyme, so you know the rhyme
Do you know the reason, did you know the rhyme?
So you know the time, so you know the time?
Do you know the season in your mind?
So you know the rhyme, so you know the rhyme
Do you know the reason, did you wonder why?
So you know the time, so you know the time
Do you the seasons in your mind?
We're going backwards now

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.
