I always wondered who sang this lovely song.

I just saw Janis in Chatham, NJ on Saturday Nov.15 and she was great. She is what you call a true talent and such a beautiful person both inside and out. Her book is fantastic and I think that may be the Martin D18 she is playing here that was stolen. I was very sad when I read that in her book. She is such a great songwriter and performer. :)

This one of Dorothy Stratten's favorite songs. She was seventeen when see started her journey to Hollywood, back in 1978.

HiTime has moved on since she was 17.& the world is faster.Also I'm not sure any other number would have worked as well in this song.

REGINE VELASQUEZ has a version of this on her new and fresh album entitled "LOW KEY". can't wait to get it!

Your realisation at 14 is nothing. Just wait till 17, and 'the truth' Janis Ian sings about is like this palpable essence. Happens year after year.

How may songs have you written about it?

I'm 14 and I've known these truths for years, am I the only one or is Janis Ian a slow learner
