Janis Ian has 20% more humanity in her songs than the other singers. What a great version of this song. When I saw her live, it was like meeting a new member of the family.
Janis Ian kept me from stepping off the planet in my youth, gratitude for her presence on earth....this tells a sad story reflected in my journey...thanks again Janis~it was beauteous to meet u in St Louis ;-)
we have to learn how to overcome our most difficult times and carry on. if the bad feelings from the past, the agony and sadness are not transformed and not renewed we grow old, ugly with the bad acid feelings inside of us. hope you understand what i'm saying
love her since I was 17, great still. Love you Janis. You rule. I sing at seventeen in bars sometimes, love the song. Love to sing with you sometime if you need me. :)
One of her great songs. See the version when she sang it first on her early albums. Her voice is still excellent, but I like the original version best. A great entertainer. We saw her in person recently.
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
Well Bless Your Heart Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
brings me to tears- one of the most underappreciated women in song!!!
What the heck..... her voice never change.
Why this lovely woman is so UNDERRATED .... her songs and lyrics are like gems.
Oh how I love the 70s

One of my favorites... ❤️
I grew up listening to Janis Ian , thanks to my dad's interesting and great taste in music (the more morose the better). Such feeling. Very sad.

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
maravillosa!!!
Amazing vocals even then
@Igal Flint that is very true.
Swoon
love this song, not crazy about the yellow light!! awful
Well Bless Your Heart

You need to wonder why you feel the need to judge others.
Yes, this song is biblical in its grandeur, isn't it? One of her best.
