Janis Ian - In the Winter - 4/18/1976 - Capitol Theatre (Official)

[@megancassidy4691]

I was about 6. Dad had left us. I was sitting on the living room carpet, watching my mother in the kitchen in her flowered apron, staring out the window, and singing this song as the LP played in the background. It's a memory that has never left me.

Janis is one of those talents where the word "genius" doesn't even do her justice. Still waiting for the Kennedy Center to acknowledge her and for the R&R Hall of Fame to induct her. It's insane that she's never been given her due. One of the greatest songwriters of my lifetime.

[@janeem4371]

Janis Ian my all time favorite from her first album. And this song. I'm living this song. Heartbreaking

[@festeradams3972]

I live this song too, but she passed in 2014...the Blankets are all that remain.

I was referring to my wife who died in 2014 :-(.@@janeem4371

My mom introduced me to this amazing writer/singer when I was a child. The "Between the Lines" LP playing was a regular staple in our house. Janice along with Johnny Mathis, Barbara Streisand, Millie Jackson and so many others & genres. My mom died suddenly a week after turning 49yr old and has been gone for 26yrs now but, whenever I listen to this wonderful woman sing, I am transported back in time and I smile. Thank You Janice Ian for the gift of remembrance.

The song does not grow old, those of us who were there then, and a decade or two before. We have our own stories, and it is winter now. For many of us, who have lost so much in the passing years, we do sit alone.

[@stevenrandolph5929]

Saw her in 1982, Never have I forgotten how beautiful..

[@mckster56]

Oh this song...still so haunting after all these years....I met your friend...

Unfortunately, it's not fashionable to expose your vulnerability anymore.

[@paulhermosilla5992]

The very first time I heard I'm fascinated and absolutely in love with this song. I love you miss Janis Ian for this wonderful work of art masterpiece,❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@PuppyPetite]

Those drums work so well on this song ❤

[@garyt5582]

If this one doesn’t put a lump in your throat nothing will!!!!!zShes an incredible writer!

[@cramer7854]

Wow. So good I get a tear in my eye every time I listen. Thanks.

[@Jussiesmullet]

Holy crap what a song !

[@sillyone52062]

I left home in 1980 to join the Army. My mother, divorced seven years earlier was left alone with her dogs and a large house to look after. I thought of her every time that I heard this song.

[@CrimsonCupcakeDoll]

Beautiful song! This will always be of my favorite songs from my childhood.

[@markw4206]

What an absolutely righteous song.

Wow! Great singer!

[@rheafoster7346]

wonderful memory

[@carolynbarnes7098]

I felt her pain..

[@paintridge614]

I can't remember exactly what I did, but I think I wrote to Columbia records and suggested Frank Sinatra record this song, 46 years later its just as breath-taking as when I first heard it. Thanks, Janis!

[@stevenbishop5508]

She 0nce loved this song In the winter I love so

[@דוידמור-צ5ו]

My favorit song

[@ozvoyager]

I really don't understand why Janis Ian isn't as widely known and celebrated as Carole King or Bob Dylan or Paul Simon or Joni Mitchell or Neil Young. As In The Winter demonstrates, her songs are every bit as insightful and exquisitely crafted as any of the best of those other singer-songwriters. She's been prolific through the past six decades, producing album after album of memorable songs. Her biggest hits - At Seventeen, Jesse, Stars and others - are justifiably seen as classics. Yet somehow Janis has never quite received the acclaim she truly deserves. Why?!

[@markw4206]

So F-ing righteous on this piece. What an amazing show this must have been that night!

[@박재식-t7k]

Missed u

[@markw4206]

Spooky. Powerful. Righteous. Perfect. (Did I leave out any pertinent adjectives? Just a wonderful composition.) And what a show that night must have been, judging from the videos here.

[@michaelmcleavy953]

I felt the drumming was superb added index to the song

[@1954kaos]

agree with you there

[@timbrittain]

Reminds me of selling on the beech in marselian plage in the midi south France

[@simonharesnape8070]

Can understand the drumming comments , don't watch the video and the drumming doesn't seem to intrude as much , it's like the mind focuses you're attention on his drumming

[@arnoldarnoldr5114]

Great song and talent. Adding that stupid drum doesn't make it more dramatic but silly.

[@AnjaElisabethCarola]

its 1976 !

[@janeem4371]

I like the drum. What do you know that makes you a music critic

[@DariusShannon-c2s]

Taylor Swift couldn't stand next to her .
