Janis Ian Tea & Sympathy 1976

[TheWrekinGiant]

A great song. I recommend the version by Derek Lovell (username: deklovell), give it a try!

[chuffnobbler]

My favourite of Janis's songs. Beautiful.

The subtitles are in Hebrew - probably this was aired on the Israeli TV.

Thank you so much. Janis amazes me with her huge heart and talent, and of course, her magical voice - every time.

,Thanks JANIS, Just lovely

Can anyone imagine any of today's "singers" come up with such mature and profound lyrics and music as she did at 24, and even before her 20's?

[KatzGen]

Je ne comprend pas. Il y a pas mal de chanteurs/chanteuses françaises qui ont chanté ses chansons (Stars par Françoise Hardy, Photographs par Nana Mouskouri, Jesse par Charles Aznavour, At Seventeen par Claude François, etc), mais elle n'est pas connue en France pour autant! Quel dommage!

Love this song and love Janis, but it sounds like it's about suicide?

[WhoIsBaz]

@phatcracker2007 Yes, the last verse is. A lot of Janis Ian's early music is incredibly sad. She's cheered up with time.

[DavidInSugarLand]

Amazing how the words just seem to fall out of her mouth. Simply genius lyrics and songwriting.

Happy 60th Birthday to you, Janis.

Great choice and share -- and her winning smile balances the deep poignancy.

Exquisite lyricist, and a gorgeous voice. A writer with the guts to describe life honestly.

[daygold1]
