Ian Janis - Breaking silence
I dont own the rights in any way of this song.. lyrics : Come into my solitude tho i weary be Come into my tenderness dream along with me listen to the wispers sing listen to the singers shout come into my solitude me and my big mouth thoughts unspoken thoughts unsaid lies of hearth and home children broken on the bed and left to lie alone things you talk around scum you chock on down come into my solitude step on sacred ground we were speaking of values and violence breaking silence fathers who are lovers to the daughters that they own mothers who dont leave a child in a single saftey zone people so unhinged, that death is much to kind come into my solitude, step over that line thought i was the only one thought i was the only one thought i was the only thought i was the only only one breaking silence come into my solitude welcome to the wheel come into this wonderland of wounds that will not heal walls that do not speak steps that do not sound come into my solitude burn this building down
In The Winter - Janis Ian
Ripped from the album "Between the Lines", 1975. (c)Janis Ian. In The Winter The days are okay I watch the TV in the afternoon If I get lonely The sound of other voices Other rooms are near to me I'm not afraid The operator She tells the time It's good for a laugh There's always radio And for a dime I can talk to God Dial-a-prayer Are you there? Do you care? Are you there? And in the winter extra blankets for the cold Fix the heater, getting old I am wiser now, I know, but still as big a fool Concerning you I met your friend She's very nice what can I say? It was an accident I never dreamed we'd meet again this way You're looking well I'm not afraid You have a lovely home Just like a picture No, I live alone I found it easier You must remember how I never liked The party life Up all night Lovely wife You have a lovely wife And in the winter extra blankets for the cold Fix the heater, getting old You are with her now, I know I'll live alone forever Not together now

Janis Ian - Society's Child
Ian's first release tells the sad tale of a young, interracial couple who must face the ridicule and hostility of society; very controversial subject matter in the 60's! Lyrics: Come to my door, baby, Face is clean and shining black as night. My mother went to answer you know That you looked so fine. Now I could understand your tears and your shame, She called you "boy" instead of your name. When she wouldn't let you inside, When she turned and said "But honey, he's not our kind." She says I can't see you any more, baby, Can't see you anymore. Walk me down to school, baby, Everybody's acting deaf and blind. Until they turn and say, "Why don't you stick to your own kind." My teachers all laugh, the smirking stares, Cutting deep down in our affairs. Preachers of equality, Think they believe it, then why won't they just let us be? They say I can't see you anymore baby, Can't see you anymore. One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening Gonna raise my head up high. One of these days I'm gonna raise up my glistening wings and fly. But that day will have to wait for a while. Baby I'm only society's child. When we're older things may change, But for now this is the way, they must remain. I say I can't see you anymore baby, Can't see you anymore. No, I don't want to see you anymore, baby.

Janis Ian - At Seventeen (Original Stereo)
Janis' musical career got off to a rocky start in 1967 with the recording of a song called "Society's Child" the theme of which involved an inter-racial romance. The recording was banned in several areas and a radio station in Atlanta, Ga. that played it was actually burned down. The song ultimately gained wide acceptance helped along by the person of Leonard Bernstein who included the song in one of his televised specials. "At Seventeen" is a bittersweet song about the cruelties of growing up done from the perspective of someone much older. It was Janis' biggest pop hit peaking at #3 during the summer of 1975. Janis continues to record and perform today.
Light a Light - Janis Ian
Ripped from the album "Between the Lines", 1975. (c)Janis Ian Light a Light I hear your voice in ev'ry corridor See your face in ev'ry picture frame I feel your eyes in ev'ry starry sky Lover, am I coming home again? Now am I humble, who once was proud Now am I silent, who once was loud Now am I waiting for the sound of your saying: Lover, am I coming home again? When you're gone the sun don't shine Light a light, light a light for me Bring me back home again And how we loved 'til the years were days How we laughed all our tears away And now the time begins to fade Lover, am I coming home again? There's a wisdom in the teachings of the old familiar songs And a sorrow in repeating all the old familiar wrongs And a lesson to be learned, though I've know all day long Lover, am I coming home again? Light a light, light a light for me Light a light, light a light for me Light a light, light a light for me Bring me back home again Bring me back home again

Janis Ian - At Seventeen (Live at The Bottom Line, 1980)
This is the song from the CD: THE BOTTOM LINE ENCORE COLLECTION - JANIS IAN. The images are taken from a scrapbook of anything I could find about her. Her song "AT 17" is what captivated me in 1975. I was 21. I refer to Janis Ian as my first "media crush." No copyright infringement intended.
Janis Ian at Governor's Island Society's Child 7/5/08
On the fifth day of July, when, as the folk song goes, the cuckoo hollers "cuckoo," in the pouring rain, '60's folk legend Janis Ian sang to an attentive outdoor New York audience of fans. Before each song, she told us a story or two from her autobiography "Society's Child" to be released on July 24. One of them was about the resistance she met to the 1967 hit Society's Child and how she bravely overcame it. The opening part of this video is 15 year old Janis; the rest is Janis at 57, strong and musical as before. Thanks to Trinity Church at Wall Street for putting on the free concert series "Folks on the Island."
