'Pieces of A Man' - Gil Scott Heron

I love the lyrics to that one. Gil could write about politics in a way that was totally personal. Absolute genius.

'The Bottle' is another one that speaks volumes with such frugality of words...

But for me I can barely listen to Tracy Chapman's first album without bawling. Fast Car. Jesus that song is strong.


I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone...

There's something about the delivery. Beautiful song, beautiful album.
