Behind The Wall Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Against the Grain 

Cover art for Behind The Wall lyrics by Tracy Chapman

this was the first song - that i remember - that had a strong enough emotional impact to make me actually cry. the lyrics are good, and the effect of tracy using only her vocals - which are absolutely amazing - gives me the shivers. this goes down in the books with strange fruit, by billie. absolutely amazing.

domestic violence is such a startling issue on it's own, and tracy does a really good job of opening up people's eyes to it and the surrounding issues.

magic. i can't say it enough.
