Hands down my favorite Jimmy Eat World song. Can't believe these guys were in their early 20's when they wrote this - it's powerful beyond its years, for sure. Love all of Jim's work, but I'd say Tom's voice on this song and on Blister might be my favorite stuff.
@socomfan555 Really? Don't get me wrong I LOVE Here you me. But I adore Clarity in it's entireity so much. I think that album is just beautiful,and better than so many other albums and songs.
here you me is cool though, they wrote it for my friends cousins, mykel & karli Weezer wrote them a song too.
@futuresailorsx Yes there is but I can't find that version I've been looking. Lucky Denver Mint is a great song like the rest of that album but You were right.
@futuresailorsx Yeah, kinda, it's "You're only...You're only seventeen" during the chorus. It was dubbed during the part where Josie first pulled up to the High School. Sounded like it was recorded differently than this version; I know that the album version of Seventeen was recorded in a different studio than the rest of the album. Kinda wish they'd release some more of those older demos...If they have the legal authority to do so...

Damn I wish Jimmy Eat World would make some more true Emo music that made them so brilliant like this and the Futures album :(

I first heard this song when I got a promo CD for Surge soda. "Seventeen" was the first track, and I dug it from the moment I hit play.

This has got to be one of their best songs. It's kind of sad that it doesn't get as much attention as their songs from Bleed American.
