    I am in tears and I can't even calm down now that the song went off. I've been looking for this lady for over a decade behind a video I came across of her on somebody's blog from Australia one time. She sang "At seventeen", but I forgot that as well as her name, so for years looking for her was like needle and haystack. Hopeless. Yet she never left my mind, and after some time I didn't even remember why, but I kept wanting to find her. Tonight I said I said to myself "tonight's the night" and after fumbling in the dark for a while I decided to type Phoebe Snow into the search box because perhaps she kind of sounded like her, I couldn't remember... .
    And all the Phoebe Snow footage popped up and I listened to "Poetry Man" with a smile on my face, when there, right on top of the page, above all the other videos, as an advertisement, sat a screen showing a pretty Afro clad girl and the only thing it said was "At Seventeen" Mix. And I knew before I pressed Play I had found her! And when she sang I was overjoyed and at peace. For I had found her!!! Then I clicked on this video because it said 1974, the year I was born, and almost the moment she started singing the flood gates opened and I have been sobbing ever since. I can't even describe what it is, I just understand now why I kept looking for an artist with no information whatsoever to go on, whose grip on me never loosened even when her outline became more and more blurry. It's like a home coming. This is what it must be like to run into your long lost love again. Such a weight off! Janis Ian! What an absolute pleasure to finally meet you!!

      !!Entiendo y siento tan bien lo que dices berlinbrownin. A pesar de que yo "siempre" (desde 1980) supe quien era y sus canciones me ocurre lo mismo cada vez que me encuentro con Star y Seventeen. Es lña voz perfecta para dos canciones perfectas que son capaces de lllegar al alma y romper tu resistencia!!! Janis Ian es de alguna forma parte de mi vida, de mi historia.

      No. She just sings her soul, bare of artifice. She isn't trying to "break your heart". It isn't about you at all. She just is singing to get her crushing feelings out because she has to.

    People on the internet always exaggerate anymore. It's the "Best" or "Amazing" or "Easiest". So please don't think that I'm using an unwarranted superlative here. But I listen to this song on occasion and each time, it stops me and I truly am stunned. No other singer I know of strips the cover off of their soul like Janis does on this song. And I remained stunned for a short while until life again intrudes. This woman is such a gift from wherever such gifts come from. Janis, I'm sorry for the suffering you lived through in your career for us. Thank you Janis Ian. You are special.

      Exactly, though all of us who has been 17 remember how intense our feelings were. Our "galaxy" may have been only the size of our tiny community or youth group, or class, or street .... but everything in that galaxy was still filled with a universe of feelings, perhaps made larger because our feelings were larger. But Janis (and the rest of us) survived it and went on, hopefully to find happiness. I cherish meeting her music when I needed to. It was a blessing I will never forget. Sadly, my nation's highest cause of death in young people is suicide ... I must work harder to help these beautiful souls to believe of their pain: "this too shall pass" Hugs to you

    I have always loved this song by Janis Ian. Melancholic but beautiful. So rich, direct that it hurts. A close friend of mine’s sister, Nicky, gave me tape of it to me shortly after my brother died in a tragic car accident in San Diego,California, back in 1973. This recording being from the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1974.
    So sadly Nicky has now died, a life touched by melancholy. She will be a star gone out with a blaze but someone whose life touched all her family and friends.

    I was never one for singing what I really feel
    Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real
    Stars, they come and go, they come fast or slow
    They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
    And all you see is glory
    Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
    We can shake it away, if you'll hear a story
    People lust for fame like athletes in a game,
    we break our collarbones and come up swinging,
    some of us are downed
    some of us are crowned, and some are lost and never found
    But most have seen it all,
    they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
    They always come up singing
    Some make it when they're young,
    before the world has done its dirty job
    and later on someone will say
    "You've had your day, now you must make way"
    But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned
    or the many years forgetting what you know too well
    That the ones who gave the crown have been let down
    You try to make amends without defending
    Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes of grown men of twenty-five
    that follow as you walk and ask for autographs
    Or kiss you on the cheek and you never can believe they really loved you
    Some make it when they're old
    (Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
    or perhaps there's nothing there)
    Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow
    They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
    And all you see is glory
    But most have seen it all,
    they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
    They always have a story
    Some women have a body men will want to see
    and so they put it on display
    Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day
    Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance
    I guess I could learn how, if I gave it half a chance
    But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar
    And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord
    I guess there isn't anything to put up on display
    Except the tunes, and whatever else I say
    But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say
    I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day
    Stars, they come and go, they're coming fast they come slow
    They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
    And all you see is glory
    But most have seen it all,
    who live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
    And we always have a story
    So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around
    I'll come up singing for you, even when I'

      Haven't heard this for years. Oh man what a depth of feeling and such sadness. Can bring a big guy to tears.

    I'm 20 and I picture myself at a very old age listening to this song, looking back to a whole life full of experiences. When we least think, life goes by. I wonder what older people feel when listening to this wonderful composition. 🤔

    Remember watching this in 74, loved it then love it now, all these years later. In those day's I was a huge rock fan, but hearing this just blew me away, still moves me to tears.

    I've been following Janis since Society's Child. The best writing and voice for folk of all times. There's something that touches the soul in every song.

      That song takes me back to the 1960s. When it was released I was 15. Janis was 16.
