Sharon Van Etten feat. Norah Jones: "Seventeen"

[@walkalittle]

As a former 17 year old child who now has a 17 year old child, this hits you right in the feels.

[@tommymas1]

But this is not about an offspring but a reflection of herself 20 years later. Big difference.

[@tommymas1]

@Andrew Murray Who cares what you think. That about sums it up, right?

[@tommymas1]

@Andrew Murray It's only rhetorical if folks like you can't figure it out. It interviews, the artist clearly talks about this song representing the passage of time of her own life, not that of her offspring. But entitled folks like you need to be self affirming and make it about something it is not. Back to your basement.

[@tommymas1]

@Andrew Murray I didn't. All I did was express my opinion of interpretation. It is your triggered entitled self trying to tell me what I can and cannot post. The hypocrisy and irony is amazing. Perhaps worry about policing yourself and not others. Stop using words like "only" and "particular" to justify your narrative.

[@tommymas1]

@Andrew Murray I'm glad you acknowledge the error of your ways. It is always heartening when those comprehensively challenged like yourself make that breakthrough. It's like potty training a toddler..... 👍👍 for you. The original poster is allowed her opinion. I'm allowed to counter that. You're not allowed to police either of our interpretations unless you feel you're uniquely qualified to do so, triggered Karen. Let that be a lesson to you.

[@taikitaoka]

These two women are so relevant to me in different times of my life. I feel so emotional seeing them two singin together like two parts of myself are making friends.

[@011silbermond]

Whoah, that´s pefectly then. I loved Sharon even more than Norah actually, but this is big. Spotify played it for me yesterday and I nearly cried my heart out.

[@jimsvideos7201]

First I've heard of her, but if she can roll up to the late show with Norah friggin Jones as her backup singer she must be doing something right.

[@clumsiii]

I just heard of her this summer - she's fantastic! Dig in - first song I heard was Tarifa (album version) and fell immediately. "No One is Easy to Love" is also fantastic

You might be too young to appreciate this now, but come back when your 17 year old kid never talks to you and cry your eyes out.

[@seandohertydoherty5853]

Ya my 17 year old ain't talking to me .beautiful and sad

[@illiamdeebe7579]

Never stop trying to build that bridge. There is nothing sadder than losing time you could have been together that you can't get back.

[@intimi28]

24 years later I can still vividly remember what it felt like to be 17 and not talking to my parents. It just felt like the loneliest time of my life. I wanted them to be there for me, but I didn't feel they could give me what I needed, emotionally speaking. They couldn't handle me being different from the rest of the family and didn't see the pain behind my acting out. Please don't take this advice as a blame, just as a wish of what my parents had done (and maybe you're already doing it). Let them know regularly that you love them for who they are, that you'll always be there for them whatever and whenever they need you. Hug them if you can. Don't judge their decisions, but ask them to help you understand their choices in life, even if it isn't a choice you would've made. Don't expect them to be like you or think like you. They are their own persons who will make their own choices and mistakes. Allow them that without judgment but with a safe haven to come back to. Don't waste time like me and my parents did. We almost left it too late.

[@andrewturvill7145]

There is hope. I was 17 when I stopped talking to my mum because I couldnt deal with childhood stuff and anger at being left with an aggressive father... I made amends years later as with age I understood what she had gone through. I even wrote a book about it as a way of healing. There's always time. Reach out.

[@MaligNyant]

I'm legitimately crying. Wonderful version of a great song performed by two brilliant artists.

[@TheXanderKane]

I couldn’t love this anymore. What a wonderful collaboration between these two incredibly talented artists.

[@ptalley47eh]

Is there a limit to how many times we can view this video? What a wonderful musical pairing. Sharon Van Etten is incredible but with Norah Jones....they soar!! Thank you!

[@CameronHoskins]

My favorite song ever Brings tears every time, especially this version

[@Requiemslove]

I don't know who Sharon Von Etten is, but from what I see here, impressive. Have to admit I only clicked on this because I noticed who the "guest" is. God I love Norah Jones so friggin much. Any time she duet's or collaborates with someone on their song, she finds a way to elevate what [usually] is already pretty good. She's like an extra layer of musical honey that adds SO MUCH to any song.

[@jennifer1032]

This is beautiful and haunting. Both singers give a great performance, I've played this so many times.

[@rolleroftherock1]

Absolutely beautiful...

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

This is no doubt one of the most beautiful and moving songs I've heard lately. And Norah Jones is a legend, and ages like a fine wine. But...(bear with me)...check out Sharon Van Etten NPR Tiny Desk, and her version she plays at about 8:20 of that 3-song set. These two voices are angelic, but especially when they hit that powerful "I know what you're gonna be!", do not have the same passion that Sharon alone does near the end of that NPR live version. In addition, the band she'd been touring with for over a year, whom she introduced in the NPR set, seemed to also take this song to another level. Again, great performance. But having seen the earlier, I think a record exec thought by putting a little color on the apple it would look and taste more appealing. And indie music is felt by those who wrote it, and perform it live, together, more than when polished for the masses. Just my two cents.

[@olhachytaylo4022]

I agree with you :) it's just - when she sings it alone, these words somehow have more strenght..

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

Olha Chytaylo totally agree. It’s her emotion - raw, painful, and pleading - and is more powerful as just hers.
