Tidal recently played a Tracy Chapman track for me and for the life of me I cannot recall what it was. It wasn't one of her better-known tracks and it didn't seem very characteristic of her. it was quite quiet, and all I really remember is lyrics about a picture or something telling a story, and then it gets erased, or something like that? Any suggestions appreciated!

Trying to find a video, of a woman singing a notoriously challenging song in her bedroom. I was pretty certain it was defying gravity, but now that I’ve tried looking for it I may have that wrong. It may have an even higher note. I think it was about 5 years ago / during lockdowns, and I think she was English. She absolutely nails it and gives you goosebumps. Anyone have any idea?

She's not English, but could it be this cover of The Diva Dance from The Fifth Element?

Ooh that’s a good guess thank you but no I don’t think that’s it. Gah. She may have been wearing white shirt with dark stripes and I think was facing right.

Probably not it but I'm reminded of those octave higher challenges e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrULKqyzHAw

Yeah, she has a bunch of those on her channel. Some sound like they'd be awkward/painful to sing.
