The Edge of Seventeen is the
The immediate inspiration is from Jane Petty, who's Tom's wife
Because she told me that when she met Tom, he was, she said at the age of 17
But she has this incredible southern drawl
So, it sounded like she said the edge of seventeen
And I said, Jane, I'm writing it on the menu, right?
I'm writing a song called Edge of Seventeen
And she laughs, you know, she didn't even think I was serious
So, it started out about Tom and Jane
Basically, who I have no idea what they were at 17, but I made it up
And it went into being written about my hiving uncle who died a couple of months ago
And right when John Lennon died
And their names are both John
And I was with my uncle when he died
And if you listen to the words, it says suddenly there was no one left standing in the hall
Says that I went today, maybe I will go again tomorrow
The music there was hauntingly familiar
And I see you doing what I try to do for me
With the words of a poet, the voice of a choir and a melody
Nothing else mattered
Nothing else mattered to me except John Lennon and my uncle and my family
The immediate inspiration is from Jane Petty, who's Tom's wife
Because she told me that when she met Tom, he was, she said at the age of 17
But she has this incredible southern drawl
So, it sounded like she said the edge of seventeen
And I said, Jane, I'm writing it on the menu, right?
I'm writing a song called Edge of Seventeen
And she laughs, you know, she didn't even think I was serious
So, it started out about Tom and Jane
Basically, who I have no idea what they were at 17, but I made it up
And it went into being written about my hiving uncle who died a couple of months ago
And right when John Lennon died
And their names are both John
And I was with my uncle when he died
And if you listen to the words, it says suddenly there was no one left standing in the hall
Says that I went today, maybe I will go again tomorrow
The music there was hauntingly familiar
And I see you doing what I try to do for me
With the words of a poet, the voice of a choir and a melody
Nothing else mattered
Nothing else mattered to me except John Lennon and my uncle and my family
