Seal - It Was A Very Good Year Lyrics
When I was seventeen it was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights on the village green
When I was seventeen
It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair and it came undone
When I was twenty-one
Then I was thirty-five it was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means, we'd ride in limousines their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days grow short, I'm in the autumn of the year
But from the brim to the dregs, it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

YouTube recommending the good stuff
case and point .. there are angels who sing ...surely God sent this one to wear a man's skin we would know by the name Seal to share in songs and reveal ! absolutely moved . Thank You .
This guy melts my soul. Seal, I love youuuu :)
A great version - and my favourite
Sobral City Radio Brazil - The best of music soul. SEAL is the voice best.
Es dulzura para mis oídos. Hermoso.
Amazing! I'm a Portuguese fado singer. I'm 22 years old. Fado sings soul, fate, sadness, happiness. This song and this record are the best I've ever heard. Have the soul of Fado

When I was seventeen
Small town girls....New York and college...hangin in the West village...free, young, strong, beautiful...it was a very good year
Very pretty, but without the depth Sinatra brought to it. One problem with a tribute/cover album like this is you'll inevitably be compared to the original artist. Nice job, though.
When I was 17, it was a very good year. I still didn't drink beer, and lived without fear. Life didn't have a tear, and I was still green, when I was 17. When I was 21, it was a very good year. I was depressed as all fuck, still no luck, and probably still long hair. I was metalmad, still young and dumb, when I was 21. When I was 35, it was a very good year. Life was going up a gear, and I still lived with not much fear. I'd ride in Adrian's van, and felt now alive, when I was 35. But now the days are long, I'm in the middle of my years, and life still goes on, and I still sing my song, and there is stable cheer. It will get good soon, life will become a royal boon, and I'll have no more fear, in a very good year. http://noahidebooks.angelfire.com
Magic!!!
Such a great song.
Well, he tried his chance but...it didn´t work. This song is challenging and the weight of Sinatra´s interpretation is unbeatable. Boa sorte na próxima.

Lou Rawls version is less melancholy; jazzy, spirited...interprets meaning of the lyrics: fun, carefree, life is gorgeous (idea would be Seal's husky tone, Sinatra's phrasing, would like it by Donny Hathaway..intense; passionate )
Thank you, for all of it, all these years.
Standards not so standard. Cheaters never win. Sad.
I think Seal has a great voice but this album is terrible!
I am buying this CD! Amazing! Brava Seal!!!
Big singing to Carrie in that restaurant lol
they all end up doing the Great American Songbook haha :D but yeah this is really good :)
Leave it to Frank, no emotion in this version
Horrible
Belle voix...bien Jazz....mais peut etre pas suffisant...to bring something new....
These are classics. I have been a closet fan. I am not sure I would purchase this album though its great. Your such a talent that I believe you are better than this.. and I am sure you could have found deeper tracks. No hard feelings but Sinatra may never get old but people who revised or copies are at best staying a float.. Please again no offense.. Perry Como, Engelbert Humperdinck are even Niel Diamond.. all great sounds that you would beat or match in voice.
fantastico...
Superbe voix je suis fan. merci.
Como não se apaixonar 😍😍🎶🎵🎼⏮⏮💏💓❤💗💖💝💞💕💘
Vaninha Meireles a voz dele é muito foda né
Magnífico
It will be a very good year when we get the full album!!!
Excelente escolha de música. Magnífica interpretação!
softly, beautiful.
One person did not have a very good year...
This is so good!!!! I need the full album!
