Seventeen (1996 version)

Terra Spencer welcomes the summer heat with a fresh folk pop take on “Seventeen”, the opening track from her acclaimed 2024 album ‘Sunset’. Co-written with the East Coast's Erin Costelo and Carleton Stone at a seaside retreat, the song scrapbooks a teenage romance before the tide inevitably turns.

The band - Geoff Arsenault, Mike Farrington Jr., Tyler Messick, and Dave Gunning - support Terra's layered vocals, throwback keys, and expansive piano with a groove that captures the push and pull of the Bay of Fundy. A departure from the '70s wood-paneled nylon string guitar that anchors the album version, the revamp calls back to the sounds of Dawson’s Creek reruns and ‘90s car radio, when female singer/songwriters ruled the airwaves.
