“We all must live our lives always feeling, always thinking the moment has arrived.”
“We have more media than ever and more technology in our lives. It’s supposed to help us communicate, but it has the opposite effect of isolating us.”“People’s real hopes and dreams can be distorted and misdirected and packaged until you’re not sure what you really want or what you even really need.”“You have to pay attention to the moment and make it the best it can be for you. I’ve been trying to do that. It’s really made a major difference for me. I’m a happier person.”“Everyone is looking for connections between the songs. I don’t usually approach a record as a concept. There’s no overriding theme I’m trying to represent. It’s all about the individual songs.”Happy 49th Birthday to singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman (b. March 30, 1964)

And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep.
