The Song That Raised Me
The Song That Raised Me I was nine years old when I first heard “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman. The song wasn’t playing on the radio, nor did I stumble upon it through a playlist. It was a Sunday afternoon, and my father was cleaning out a box of old cassette tapes in our musty garage. He found one labeled “Road Trip Mix – Summer ’91” and slipped it into the dusty boombox like he was unsealing a memory. As the first melancholic chords hummed through the static, a quiet sort of reverence filled the space. My father paused, closed his eyes, and softly said, “This one got me through a lot.”
