Besides the song that I shared yesterday, there’s been one other song that’s been on my mind.  And it’s a song that has been around for most of my life.

I remember when Tracy Chapman won a Grammy for “Fast Car” back in 1989.  It was odd seeing a not-#1 song by a new artist win a Grammy (at least for me).  But the song was catchy . . . so catchy that it’s stuck around radio and in my head these last three decades.  I don’t watch the Grammys anymore, and I only listened to country music when my former neighbors had it on in the background when we were playing cards.  I knew that Luke Combs had done a cover of the song and that it had done quite well.  When I heard that Chapman and Combs had performed it on this year’s Grammys, I was interested in seeing the performance, which (until recently) couldn’t be found as a well-edited, entire-song piece.  A few days ago, the Grammys finally released it:

I’m not the first to comment on being moved not only by the song but also the joy at seeing Chapman perform and the joy at seeing another artist play and sing along with her.   The look on both their faces (and of many in the audience) is amazing and probably the best any artist could ask for.  Quite the quiet but powerful moment, really.
