About this music
Here is my attempt at covering Tracy Chapman’s Give Me One Reason. This is the first Blues number I have done on Muziboo. Love to get everyones feedback on this one. This song won a Grammy in 1996 and has always been on my playlist. Hope you all enjoy this one :-)
Lyrics:
[ Gimme one reason to stay here
And I’ll turn right back around
Gimme one reason to stay here
And I’ll turn right back around
Said I don’t wanna leave you lonely
You gotta make me change my mind ]
Baby, I got your number
Oh, and I know that you got mine
You know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me, baby, you can call me anytime
You’ve got to call me
[ repeat ]
I don’t want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I don’t want no one to squeeze me
They might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me
Oh, and rock me through the night
A youthful heart can love you
Yes, and give you what you need
I said this youthful heart can love you
Oh, and give you what you need
But I’m too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy
[ repeat ]
Baby, just gimme one reason
Oh, gimme just one reason why
Baby, just gimme one reason
Oh, gimme just one reason why I should stay
Said I told you that I loved you and there ain’t no more to say

Wow, I never heard a male do this song, but this was a terrific performance. Great blues feel and attitude. I was rather taken a back by it, though I haven’t really known you that long.
I guess it’s because of some of the other music I’ve seen on your site that sounds quite foreign to me, I didn’t expect anything like this.
That really was superb !!!!
too good george .. u got the blues man !!
Man !! .. You are getting better n better !!.. I love tracy chapman specially her first album… please do more of her songs. 5/5
I remember rehearsing this song with whipper back in our BIT music room. It was such a fun song to play ..there’s nothing better than hitting the right blues..its a form of music u can dive in and float.
Quite well done man!
Outstanding singing!!
Magnifique Georgey!
Kewl! Love the wonderful outcome. No negatives..

great goin George ..i ll second Deepak.. Autograph Please lol …i m thinking aloud..Prateek should keep a Higher rating for u ..u know like u always get a 5/5..but for u ..we should be able to rate out 10 ..cos u know ur song will be 5/5 but if its out of 10..then its like moving to the 10 point GPA system from 4 point !!...u know u always get the A ..we shud introduce the A+ or Ex in ur grade lol…i loved this one !! awesome man…
i can think of Gaurav doing the guitars on this song and u singing…may be u shud do a collab on this one…make sure Gaurav listens to this..
This is a total Guitar song for Gaurav and ur vocals !!! awesome buddy..keep up the “holy” work !
Thanks to one n all for all the feedback. Definitely encouraged to do more Blues in the future!
great cover! i think what would make this even more fun to listen to is if you were more raw/bluesy. you’ve definitely done that at parts. i like how you end it.
right now i can hear some chapman and some george. make it all george ;)
may just be my headphones, but i can hear more guitar on the left channel.
Not many people can do as good as the original :)
Like the control you have on your voice to pull this one off.
