Janis Ian - Watercolors video free download

Ronnie van Zanten

Janis leaves you speechless.... taking my breath away, making room for tears... time after time.... But then, I have to get back home, the year is 2014, I open my eyes, and low and behold, the soul has vanished, the heart fire has almost burned out, now darkness has risen, ego has taken over, music... People, in the present day world, look n listen, to pure ego... and what á monster it has created : beyonce... driven by money, driven by ego, attention, the spotlight... a manifestation of pure darkness. In a world where people are dying of hunger, she spents 80.000 dollars on a feedingbottle for her new born baby, what kind of person would do such a thing ? Who would commit such a heartless act ? Someone with no conscience. Looking back... at the 1970's... when music was, pure... from the soul, from the heart, a time where 'ego' had little meaning. And money didn't play a role. A time where people wrote songs, from their heart, from their soul. A time of silence, and in the silence... Janis Ian wrote her songs.

Janis Ian was someone I admired when I first saw her at Ontario Place in the late 70s. Age and experience has added another veneer, another splendid layer. How gracious. Great songwriting never ages. And performers this good simply get better.

"go find a fence,locate a shelf, and hide yourself..." What a Master of words and feelings! Amazing for almost 50 years! Absolutely one of the best songwriters of all time, and I adore Janis!
