Lyrics still resonate… 50+ years later - thank you Janis

This song still gives me chills... So beautiful. ♥

[@hakunamatata7476]

Tells a haunting story of girls being alone amongst hundreds of kids at school

It's amazing, her voice never changes. And of course, the song is still as lovely.

[@user-vb3gc5se9k]

Enjoyed that!

[@rsands9]

Still sounding good!

[@rebeccamilward4758]

I cannot even imagine the honor...the glory...the privilege of seeing Janis live today!!! Saw her in the 70's and will never ---in my life---forget it.

[@seandoyle7622]

Truly a classic. Brings me back to my childhood in the mid seventies every time I hear it.

[@captainKbobkeeshan]

Sounds great. This song shows that crap doesn't change. It still persists. Hatred. Identity. Self-esteem. Heartache. Love. Bullying.

I'm a strong black man in my 50s and this song still makes me fight back tears. Not because. It happened to me but but to shear beauty of the song and lyrics

[@sammyo4962]

It doesn't matter the video that you see, when she plays it live, they're all incredible. Thank you Janice Ian. You'll always be a beauty queen in my eyes!

Still got it.

[@crystalphillips2258]

Omg-this was totally me-you're voice is still the same. Bow, you're grace!

[@tedalfano6299]

SUBLIME!!!

[@apolsusa]

OMG her voice hasn't changed. That song is always my fave in high school as I was always an outcast and the odd one and that song is always my theme song. The other song of hers that I love is the other side of the sun and tea and sympathy. Love my me time on sundays listening to her music. Brings back memories.

[@barbararenton8009]

You and me both were outcasts loving this song of Janis.

[@rebeccamilward4758]

OMG...*sigh*...goosebumps...unfailing love and adoration...my very favorite for decades now...and always. Janis, you are the queen of beautiful, thoughtful, poignant lyrics, plus your exquisite voice. Will love you the most til the day I die.

[@barbararenton8009]

I've always loved her music since I first heard her on WLS radio out of Chicago. I loved seeing her in concert in the Arie Crown Theatre, too. She's always a delightful sound of truth.

[@mountainlinx]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this song kills me everytime! Legendary

[@JohnStopman]

She's 70+ ...and what a voice!! ❤

[@madskateman]

Wow......just wow...

[@sherrythorne9516]

You still got it Janis. ❤

[@doreena.3282]

awwee goosebumps

[@slice8]

This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

[@wxpn]

You are so welcome!

[@mokeyfrag]

One of my all time favourites, still as beautiful as ever.

[@waiata216]

So true. Womem are always judged by their looks. Normally when older women singers post a video people say "she still looks hot". No one says this on this video. Nothing changes

[@rickyl9540]

Everyone is glorifying her singing ability and song writing skills. She is not here to present her looks. Commenting on that would be superficial. We all loose our youthful looks as we age. That is irrelevant. Janis Ian is beautiful in every way!

[@rickyl9540]

I'm a NZer also. Male 60 year old. Been in awe of Janis's music since I heard her at the age of 12. She is a person of depth and substance and is beautiful as ever!
