Talkin' 'bout a Revolution
"Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution" is the second single from singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman's self-titled debut album. The politically aware song failed to replicate the success of its predecessor, "Fast Car", and peaked at #75 in the United States. However, it also managed to chart on four other charts maintained by ''Billboard'' (which brings out the weekly US chart) and reached the top forty in two of them.〔(Artist Chart History: Billboard.com )〕
Internationally, this single was a big hit, reaching the Top 40 in several countries, including France and New Zealand, becoming a classic in Chapman's song repertoire.〔("Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution" in several charts )〕 The song received heavy radio play in Tunisia in 2011 during the Tunisian revolution.
The song is in the key of G major. The chord progression is: G, Cadd9, Em, D. It has a relatively simple strumming pattern which plays unbroken throughout the entire song, making it fairly easy for a novice or learner to play on guitar.
The song was first covered by the group Living Colour, who not only performed the song on occasion on various tours but released a live version in the compilation album "What's Your Favorite Color" (1995) (Sony Music Distribution). English punk band Leatherface released their cover version of the song on their EP "Compact and Bijou" in 1992. It was subsequently covered by singer Ben Jelen on the Russell Simmons/Babyface-produced all-star compilation ''Wake Up Everybody'' in 2004. This song was also covered by Reel Big Fish on their 2005 album ''We're Not Happy 'Til You're Not Happy'' and Chamberlain as a B Side to "Five Year Diary". In 2010, this song was translated into Cree and covered by Art Napoleon on his album ''Creeland Covers''. In February 2011, Israeli band Shmemel covered the song and added a verse inspired by the Arab Spring revolutions, with the new song being given the title "Talking About an Arab Revolution".
