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.
[Repeat: x4]
Whoa precious, precious love
I was lost, and in the dark,
Searching for some-thing to refill my heart,
Though we're lost and so alone
Looking for a place to call my home
And I'm looking for
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
Precious love,
Found it, found it, found it,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
It pulls inside of me all of the time,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
I've found the most precious love,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
Precious love,
Found this love, I've found this love, I've found the love,
Found it,
It's so spiritual
One day I found the One inside of me
Hmm, He was the only, one who understood my needs
Although my lonely days seemed like a memory,
Most precious love inside of me,
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
I've found the most precious love,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
I found it,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
It pulls inside of me all of the time,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
Some more precious love,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
I've found the most precious love,
(I'm so glad)
Precious love,
(I'm so glad)
(I'm so glad)
That I found it, that I found it,
That I found it, that I found it,
Oh yeah, yeah
(I'm so glad)
(I'm so glad)
(I'm so glad)
That I found it, that I found it,
That I found it, that I found it,
(It's so special)
(I'm so glad)
(I'm so glad)
(I'm so glad)
That I found it, that I found it,
That I found it, that I found it,
I found love, I found love, I found love,
People burn, ignite me, I'm down on my knees,
I asked the Lord to help me, help me please,
I needed to know a greater love for me,
I needed to feel free, feel free
I found love.
(I'm so glad, that I found it)
There's nothing better,
And nobody understands until ya have what this love,
Take the hand of the Spirit, of the Spirit
(I'm so glad, that I found it)
I've finally found my love,
I've finally found my love
A precious love,
I've found a love,
I've found a love,
I've found a I've found a, I've found a love,
I've found a love,
I've found a love,
I've found a I've found a, I've finally found a love.
Whoa precious, precious love
I was lost, and in the dark,
Searching for some-thing to refill my heart,
Though we're lost and so alone
Looking for a place to call my home
And I'm looking for
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
Precious love,
Found it, found it, found it,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
It pulls inside of me all of the time,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
I've found the most precious love,
(Whoa precious, precious love,)
Precious love,
Found this love, I've found this love, I've found the love,
Found it,
It's so spiritual
One day I found the One inside of me
Hmm, He was the only, one who understood my needs
Although my lonely days seemed like a memory,
Most precious love inside of me,
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah,

I've found a I've found a, I've found a love,
I've found a love,
I've found a love,
I've found a I've found a, I've finally found a love.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
