“This song started as a message I left on an answering machine.
It worked.”

Give me one reason to stay here
And I’ll turn right back around.
Because I don’t want leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind

Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine
But you know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime
But you got to call me

  1. Your photos are so great, can i publish them on my website http://www.about-tracy-chapman.net/ ? So everyone can see them, to archive them for posterity and of course i’d link your profile on Flickr. Thank you!

  2. Sure. All of my photos are free to use with an attribution link back to flickr. Ideally, each photo would link back to corresponding page (i.e., the photo above to this page).

    I posted my two favorites, but I could send you several others (performing, hugging people afterward; I even went on stage to talk with her). If you want them, you can email me at SteveJ@Boxbe.com

  3. And they are up.

    Thanks chapmanist… and thanks for the pointer to this WIRED piece on the song she wrote for TED:

    And now all I do is sit in my darkened room
    And on occasion break my silence to howl at the moon
    To curse every nerve and neuron in my brain
    That will stop the pain I’m feeling
    And let me stop thinking
    Stop thinking of you.

  4. Thank you for sharing them with us and letting me publish them as well!
