"At Seventeen" ~ Janis Ian (1975)

[mezzoforte]

My mother had this on one of her CD mixes that I used to listen to every night in the tub as a kid, so it always makes me think of her. Such a sad, lovely song.
I also think of Mean Girls, though, every time I hear the name Janis Ian.

Great song Brett. The saddest words in the song are the angst she feels when she says,"and choosing sides for Basketball."

I remember always being the last one chosen as well. Elementary School memories. Can't live with em. Can't live without em.

It doesn't matter if you're a girl or a boy, I think this song is one that most people can relate with.

This is one of my favorite old songs. I could go on and on about it but I am at work - but thank you for posting.

Crying...but in a good way. I have always loved this one!
