Seventeen Going Under

Seventeen Going Under

RELEASE

For when anger needs to become motion instead of staying trapped.

Why This One

“Seventeen Going Under” takes private memory and turns it outward. The song keeps the details of class, family and anger intact, but the chorus gives those details enough lift to become something a room can shout back.

That is RELEASE at its most communal. Nothing in the story is solved by singing it louder. The point is that the pressure stops being contained inside one person.
