FMM: The truth

Yup, I called it!

Today's Friday Magic Madness song is inspired by my musings about finding a flat in HKG, 17 years ago!

Here's Janis Ian's breakthrough song from 1976:

"At Seventeen" is one of those beautifully written songs with such memorable lyrics. 

"That love was meant for beauty queens,

For high school girls with clear skinned smiles,

Who married young and then retired.

And those of us with ravaged faces,

lacking in the social graces,

desperately remained at home,

inventing lovers on the phone."

Wow! Like, Wow!

The truth is, I'll never tire of hearing this song.
