That is the most healing song I have ever heard. I once told you that gifted people aren't just gifted; they are gifts. Thank You for this song that we needed right now.

[@MickeyZoom34]

I love the musical humour! Having started with a wonderful 60s folk song equal to Baez and others, Janis then throws it open to a fabulous soprano sax solo, a trad jazz band, bluegrass, scat vocals and screaming rock guitar. Love it!

[@alexluck8926]

What it needed was visuals!! {sigh}

[@MikeSooch]

Seeing someone with the credit, "Trombone, banjo" makes me very happy.

Life is but a dream that surrounds us, emotionally and intellectually. Nothing can ever prepare us for loss or for the challenges that come with being alive, but life is of two opposing ideologies...happiness and sadness and all of their own variations. Keep everyone you know close, you never know what will happen.

[@cherylrobinson-atwood8052]

I want this played at my final "going-away" party.

[@lismoynanMairead59]

Brilliant singer and song writer. Just heard your interview on Ireland’s National radio station RTE1. Amazing voice still. I loved “At Seventeen” and knew every word. Social music that reaches the heart and resonates with the soul. Powerful 💪🏻💪🏻

When you cannot decide what to be, be a little everything and have fun.

[@aliciaa.williamsed.d.9436]

Thank you, Janis. We have to keep hope and move to a collective consciousness of our connections to one another. Such a simple, yet intensely beautiful tribute to the spirit that binds us. Better times, indeed, my friend. Thank you for the joy of your many gifts.

This is one wild ride musically. Like I was in church getting the feels and then the floor dropped out and the pew became a roller coaster 🎢 Luckily it dropped me back at church all ruffled up and smiling. ❤️

[@mirammckay4827]

I love the manner of your writing!

[@mtgplnrlisa]

Oh, my gosh. this carried me away... gave me tears, made me smile... thank you. absolutely fun and beautiful.

[@lorettabrown7373]

Had to find this song to lift my spirits and to a chosen few,so afraid of our future rights they are already talking about changing. Thanks

[@MrA259]

Magnificent song, beautifully performed

Truly when this World learns to Live as One Better Times Will Come!! Gratitude for this collaborative message ~ One Planet One Water One People ~ Healing for our Mother Earth & EveryOne 💖i'm here/hear for it! 💜🐝💦🌱🌻🌎

[@djdatteddys2633]

This is the latest iteration of the most amazing crowd-sourced musical project of the pandemic. If memory serves, Janis wrote this the day after the news broke that the 'Rona had nailed John Prine.

[@mirammckay4827]

John Prine - I have one of his vinyl albums. He was brilliant. RIP John

[@joyejahnke3485]

Thanks you for giving hope.

"When the winds of war cannot blow anymore, oh better times will come." 🇺🇦💚

[@robinhoward8805]

Writing this the Sunday after “Roe” has fallen, concealed handguns are now the law of the land and the war in the Ukraine continues. Just knew I had to come to this song. Thanks Janis for this song (& all the others!). I keep trying to believe that “Better Times” will come. ❤️😢

[@karenlebiecki1674]

Great Fun! It was wonderful and uplifting to warch and hear this project from the beginning. So many different interpretations of the same song. I really needed this when the walls started closing in, it was great to see so many people responding and helped ease the sense of isolation that was building. Thank you!

[@OlaviKnaapilaMane]

Thank You 🌹 Greetings From Finland ☕️🙏

[@rosariacoppola3289]

Che voce meravigliosa ❤️

[@user-ut6dg5rk6i]

ジャニスの声が好きです。いつまでもご活躍を願っています。日本より。

[@MumfordJim]

Yes Pete Seeger, but also heard Peter Paul & Mary, some Dixie Land, Satchmo and even a little Hendrix all in one son. What an arrangement.

15th century Saint Kabir who was revered by both the Muslims and Hindus said and I quote, “God is the breath behind the breath.”

[@naberjf]

🌹❤️

[@vaporwave2345]

I sure hope so. 😔

[@nancyweaner4066]

sounds like Pete Seeger

[@conniewalsh8199]

Just heard Resist, powerful 🙌

[@JochenVogel]

Somehow You're incorporating all styles of distinctly American music. And they're not so very different from each other. It remains the same song thoughout. Congrats on having Maeve Gilchrist playing a little harp solo, too. A good choice.

[@terryallen7356]

I just watched Leonard Bernstein discuss Janis Ian's Society's Child after she sang it. Janis has been a socially aware beautiful person since 15, and probably younger and I still love her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWGTfZyQqdp3htk

[@MGBrown-sw6wm]

I just watched this thanks to you posting the link. 15yrs old. Mind blowing. What were you doing at that age? Lol. Me running track. learning to drive, etc, Her creating Society's Child. Thanks for the link.

[@MoonlightNothing]

5 mins in, IT GOT A LITTLE TOO LOUD!

[@victoriarudolph8452]

Is this why you retired? You said, "Imma hit this note, and then I ain't doing nothing else."
