Sharon Van Etten - Seventeen (Glastonbury 2019)

Or you’re younger than 18

[@BCS1105]

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.

The crushing truth of life: we were all 17 and all we're left with are memories

[@kyrirhcp]

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.

Now you're a hotshot, think you're so carefree But you're just seventeen, so much like me You're just seventeen, you're just seventeen Seventeen

[@vedyp5992]

Goosebumps when she hit the high notes ! Sharon makes such a great music , most of her songs are used in so many tv shows and movies

[@IAmRedshaw]

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.

[@RJH1971]

Haha I was about to post a comment but you've basically summed up all I was going to say!! Loved the song as soon as I heard it but this performance just blew me away, can't stop watching it, it just takes you somewhere.

[@xX88B88Xx]

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.

[@michelemontague8943]

This song has been haunting me all year. ..and this moving performance-with all of the power that only true vulnerability can drive, she courageously lays it bare for us all to see and to hear.

Goosebumps dont cover it by half.. I play it repeatedly and am tearful each time... This is stupendous.. and .. read the lyrics. The sound and its nuances are perfect, what an absloute stunner of a perfomance. I am so glad I decided to do a 'pot-pourri' of 'look-sea' on the Glastonbury iPlayer feed at the BBC. Of course.. its the fuc**** BBC, who else does this stuff... Long live music and those who bring it to us... 'Now you're a hotshot Think you're so carefree But you're just seventeen So much like me'

[@chrisreadman9426]

What. a. scream. Blessed to see her 3 days later. Black Boys on Mopeds cover on piano in a small/medium venue is outstanding. Videos of her understate how strong her voice is.

[@whizzardblizzard5696]

Solid performance! Wish she was nearer to the audience.

[@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... I hasten to add, 34 years ago, see- kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqelmIWJiNGJeKM

This invaded my dreams last night, i was screaming the part she screams, but to myself. It was very profound and moved me.

[@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”.
