Sharon Van Etten - Seventeen (Glastonbury 2019)

2:52 - 3:15 That is some of the most powerful singing I have ever heard/seen. So much power and yet, it’s still so fucking emotional and vulnerable. Sharon Van Etten could possibly end up becoming a truly once in a lifetime talent. She is magnificent.

This is incredible. I’ve watched it multiple times a day for days now. It was already my song of 2019 and this takes it to another level. I’ll be honest I’m not an emotional man but this songs gets to me. It’s just fantastic. And from around 2:50-3:15 of this performance - goosebumps. Amazing!

[@matts541]

Snap. I almost cried watching it there, and watching it back now has certainly bought tears to my eyes! One of the highlights of the weekend for me.

I don't buy here story behind this song for a second. It's supposed to be about an ageing New York, but all i hear is the adult self talking to the child self. The child calling out the adult, the adult making excuses to the child. It breaks my heart and I love it. So powerful and meaningful and beautiful.

Cool to see Sharon’s transformation from singer songwriter to badass rockstar

[@riverlodge]

^^ this. was lucky enough to see her twice that year, having seen her several times since 2010. First at Cambridge gig, where we thought 'wow', she can headline stuff now, to Green Man where she owned the huge Mountain Stage. Still feel like she has that earlier SVE 'attitude' but now doesn't just 'hide' behind the guitar. And love that she still has that constant of Heather WB onstage.

[@graemejack9040]

This is probably the best new song I've heard released in the last 3 or 4 years. I'd never heard of her before listening to this either so I'm still discovering lots of her earlier tracks and performances for which I am extremely grateful. Being from Scotland I've grown up listening to and seeing amazingly talented female musicians like Annie Lennox, Sharleen Spiteri, KT Tunstall and Amy Macdonald. Personally the thing that sets artists like them apart is their live performances. I've yet to see Sharon van etten live but I'm confident that when I do she'll be joining my list of elite female artists.

[@lucxl.5796]

I found Sharon two years ago when I was going through quite a transition, feeling not quite so youthful anymore. This song hit *hard*. I also love “Jupiter 4” - it has an amazing dirge-like quality. I quite like playing it back to back with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ “Rings of Saturn”.

[@rogerhanley1569]

When I saw Shaz a couple of months ago at the Opera House in Sydney, she sang the climax of this song right in the face of a guy in the front row who had been rocking hard all night. Lucky guy. What's with the 25 mile gap between the audience and band here? Talk about health and safety overkill! That would piss me right off if I was there.

this song is getting me through being 17. i found it around a week after it dropped, and i was so excited last year when it was my birthday because the song was finally speaking to me literally. i'm a little sad to be turning 18 this year, because it won't really apply to me anymore, but i don't think i will ever stop being comforted by it. i'm having a really bad night and this is the first time i've seen this; when she screamed i literally felt my soul explode (and i cried really hard lol)

[@anthonyoates7663]

Absolutely right on that score, though others in the John Peel Tent all suffered the same stupid approach to 'security'.. just looked bad in the video, her being so far off... the audience needed to be right next to the stage.. Or, as Bono did in the the 1985 rendition of 'Bad' at 'Live Aid', he got of the stage and went and hugged 2 or 3 women in the audience... what an absolute stunning set that was as well, now...
