Still as poignant as pop songs get. Still a remarkable and beautiful singer songwriter. If you're already having a melancholy weekend, listening to this song will help you to savor it properly.
The first time I ever heard of Tracy Chapman, I actually read the words to rather than listened to her song. They had included her lyrics in a poetry compendium. No doubt about it, the woman is a bard. I've always loved this song. I the words by heart.

Milena,
Tracy Chapman is a bard but I think that she was discovered working as a busker in Boston. A busker bard?
nunya,
well, apparently you missed out on grief and at least one killer lyric.
