Steady still my doubts
let me speak the word that precedes bliss
let me speak the word (x2) -

Both “Born to Fight” and “Freedom Now” (https://youtu.be/80J1dEquxYE?si=h3qSbYx9zCPOMFin) are also from 1989’s “Crossroads”. “Freedom Now” is dedicated to Nelson Mandela, who Tracy Chapman not only supported his work but the two finally met in 1990 at the Free South Africa concert.

Here’s a 1992 performance of “Bang Bang Bang” (https://youtu.be/ue4DVib2NVk?si=lKL7todTcpC--kj3). Originally the opener to her 1992 album “Matters of the Heart” (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nx4m52khk624JYX_OkY_eqmMFLDBlGsNI&si=R1-FxcR2TPuqBlMG) Bang Bang Bang” was inspired by reports about teens (in particular white boys) taking weapons to school and by media coverage of the Gulf war w/r/t/ the ideas of violence and justice.

Another “Later… with Jools Holland” performance, this time of her evergreen classic “Talkin’ ‘Bout a Revolution” (https://youtu.be/7QHNC4YBAYo?si=0G3tMYmhdaz6uHeV) A staple of her repertoire, it was actually written when she was in high school and later became the song that got her discovered while a student majoring in anthropology at Tufts University.
