  I'm 26 years old,  my brother and I were very close,  we worked together, drank,  everything.  He died in 2018 in a motorbike accident,  this was one of his favourite songs,  he was 31 when he died.  I'm a man but I cry when I listen to this song. Wish I had more time with my brother

  I've been listening to this song for 38 yrs. I was 15 and now 53yrs. A favorite song of mine and it still puts me through so many feelings as it did back in the 80's, actually it hits me more and more as I get older. This song will live forever as it should!!

  This song is what gave me the power to leave my abusive family behind at 18, the power to leave when i was alone and pregnant at 22 because the father tried to hit me, the power to travel because thats what makes my soul free. From the bottom of my heart thank you for your words and the beauty of your music Tracy Chapman this song has driven my life since i was a small child.

  I’m 17 years old. I live in a small town in Australia. I try hard at school, but have to help dad at the farm, I’m a girl, yet I do the boy stuff, tree chopping, heavy weeding, shoveling etc. someday after this I dream to go to the big city, get a job outside my small  town and be remembered .

  A few weeks ago, I packed everything I own from a rural state with no opportunity and drove a rental truck 2700 miles to hopefully start a new life with some semblance of hope in a big city. I arrived and was told they rented the apartment out from under me. I was totally devastated. There I was with all of my stuff, nowhere to go. Apartment approval takes several months, so a new one wasn&apos;t gonna happen anytime soon. Money was all gone with hotels. Truck was due to be returned. With the inevitable homelessness fast approaching and the loss of all my life&apos;s possessions with it, I lay in the hotel room bed almost catatonic. I played this song and felt understood...<br><br>A few days later somebody stood up for me and found me a small place in the same building. I think it&apos;s going to be alright now. Love each other, take care of each other.

  The fact that so many people don’t realise this song is from 1988 is a testament to how great it is. The lyrics are a poem, great story telling

  I first heard this song when I a 20 year old kid in prison in 2009. I Went in at 17. Got my GED, did a culinary course and got trusty status. Me and 7 other inmates worked at the San Antonio Food Bank after completing the culinary course. I fought tears hearing this song on the bus ride at 5am on the way to work and this song still makes me tear up today.

  This song was my sons favorite&apos;s song, he always used to sing it word for word, It was played at his funeral last September, I lost my son he was 34.<br> My hearts broken, God took my son but cant take my memories, I haven&apos;t slept in my bed for a year since he passed as we used to chat to each other through the bedroom walls, They say time will heal but i don&apos;t see it, It&apos;s harder as the days go past i miss him so much, &nbsp;Fly High son, One day i will see you again. Hold your sisters hand she will guide you
