“I wrote ‘Talkin’ Bout A Revolution’ when I was 16 years old and at that time, like a lot of teenagers, you think that you are able to will the world to be as you want it to be. I really did have this notion, a belief that with the raising of consciousness change would come, where people wouldn’t have to march in the streets for their civil rights,” Chapman said in a statement shared on Instagram.
“While it’s gratifying as a songwriter to know that something I wrote more than 30 years ago still seems to have some relevance today, from a human rights perspective it’s disheartening. So many of the songs on the record, a song like ‘Fast Car’ for instance, are aspirational in nature. I still believe that we can come to a better place.”
