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.
Marta tiene un marcapasos
Que le anima el corazón
No tiene que darle cuerda
Es automático
Puedes oír sus pataditas
Está vivo creo yo
Marta tiene un pasajero
En su corazón, en su corazón
Siento un golpe, en el pecho
Yo sólo quería besarte
Ha salido el marcapasos
Entre vísceras y sangre
Mírale que ojitos tiene
Es idéntico a su padre
Es idéntico a su padre
Juega con todos los niños
Les arranca el corazón
Se los come con tomate
Que simpático
No hay criatura más hermosa
Que el pequeño marca pasos
Marta está ya como loca
De manicomio, de manicomio
Siento un golpe, en el pecho
Yo sólo quería besarte
Ha salido el marcapasos
Entre vísceras y sangre
Mírale que ojitos tiene
Es idéntico a su padre
Es idéntico a su padre
Que le anima el corazón
No tiene que darle cuerda
Es automático
Puedes oír sus pataditas
Está vivo creo yo
Marta tiene un pasajero
En su corazón, en su corazón
Siento un golpe, en el pecho
Yo sólo quería besarte
Ha salido el marcapasos
Entre vísceras y sangre
Mírale que ojitos tiene
Es idéntico a su padre
Es idéntico a su padre
Juega con todos los niños
Les arranca el corazón
Se los come con tomate
Que simpático
No hay criatura más hermosa
Que el pequeño marca pasos
Marta está ya como loca
De manicomio, de manicomio
Siento un golpe, en el pecho
Yo sólo quería besarte
Ha salido el marcapasos
Entre vísceras y sangre
Mírale que ojitos tiene
Es idéntico a su padre
Es idéntico a su padre

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.
