"Edgeof Seventeen" is a song by Americansinger-songwriter Stevie Nicks from her solo debut studio album Bella Donna(1981), released as the third single from Bella Donna on February 4, 1982. Thesong was written by Nicks to express the grief resulting from the death of heruncle Jonathan and the murder of John Lennon during the same week of December1980 and features a distinctive, chugging 16th-note guitar riff, and a simplechord structure typical of Nicks' songs.

In the United States, "Edge of Seventeen" just missed out on the top-ten of theBillboard Hot 100, peaking at number eleven. Despite not reaching the top-ten,it became one of Nicks' most enduring and recognizable songs and has beencovered by many artists, notably American actress and singer Lindsay Lohan onher second studio album A Little More Personal (Raw) (2005). The distinctive riffwas sampled by American R&B trio Destiny's Child in their number-one song"Bootylicious" (2001), with Nicks making a cameo appearance in the"Bootylicious" music video playing a guitar.

Backgroundand inspiration

According to Stevie Nicks, the title came from aconversation she had with Tom Petty's first wife Jane, about the couple's firstmeeting. Jane said they met "at the age of seventeen", but her strongSouthern accent made it sound like "edge of seventeen" to Nicks. Thesinger liked the sound of the phrase so much that she told Jane she would writea song for it and give her credit for the inspiration.

Although Nicks had originally planned to use the titlefor a song about Tom and Jane Petty, the death of her uncle Jonathan and thedeath of John Lennon during the same week of December 1980 inspired a new songfor which Nicks used the title. Nicks' producer and friend Jimmy Iovine, was aclose friend of Lennon and Nicks felt helpless to comfort him. Soon after,Nicks flew home to Phoenix, Arizona to be with her uncle Jonathan, who wasdying of cancer. She remained with her uncle and his family until his death.

Perhaps appropriate for a song named for amondegreen, "Edge of Seventeen" has been cited frequently as a sourceof misheard lyrics since its release. The line "Just like a white wingeddove" is sometimes misheard as "just like the one we know,""just like the world we know", "just like the wild wind doessings a song", or "just like the ones we love". The song wasused in the movie School of Rock as the favorite song of the female principalof a high school, jokingly referring toa common misinterpretation that the song is about an older woman falling for anunderage teen boy.Please email any questions -
