Travel back in time with this nostalgic and carefree indie-pop song!
I'm absolutely amazed at how successfully Sjowgren evoke emotion. It’s hard not to smile while listing to this cheerful tune about coming of age. “I’m not in a hurry, not going nowhere” seventeen is an age stuck between feeling grown-up yet still young. The fast speed and progressive beat suit the song perfectly by representing how quickly time goes by. It’s a reminder to live in the moment and be present. The smooth continuous build up to the chorus is rewarding and definitely worth the wait!
Slow down and get lost with the soft folk-sounding vocals poetically describing teenage love and its purity. Seventeen is one of those songs that has the ability to takes you back to a specific time of your life where things were simpler. Let yourself breathe into those memories or dreams.
Seventeen is that missing puzzle piece type song just waiting to be found. This song fits to almost any mood, especially when you are wanting to uplift your spirits and be reminded to let go and smile!
These west coast gems have released yet another great track this year called “I Don’t Know”, which I highly recommend checking out as well.

About the Curator: Janel Watson
I'm Janel from Vancouver, BC. I have a background in counselling and film. Music has been my passion for as long as I can remember.
When I was 8 years old, I became interested in playing piano after watching my best friend play. Seeing her translate scribbles on a piece of paper and magically turning it into music was fascinating and I knew I just had to learn. After self-teaching through a beginner piano book, I proved my interest allowing me to take lessons for 9 years.
Aside from piano, another hobby of mine is thrift shopping. I love the positive impact thrifting has on the environment. Finding a unique item is equivalent to hearing a new song; never knowing what to expect and searching with an open mind.
I believe music ties the whole world together by being diverse, self-expressive, therapeutic, and heck... just makes you feel awesome!
