Sharon Van Etten is a songwriter, musician, performer, and actress. Impressive sure, but that’s not why fans crowded the merch table she manned at her early gigs, hoping to share a word. In All I Can, recorded exclusively for Audible’s Words + Music series, Van Etten muses on the emotional power of music and along the way demonstrates the truism of the personal illustrating the universal. Her research in the affairs of the heart was hard-won, her catharsis earned; her recordings are a master class on emotional survival.

Van Etten takes us through her early struggles and her fascination and focus on how music connects with us so deeply. Her charmingly modest account of a career that has blossomed well beyond her indie rock roots and into acting and collaborations with likeminded creatives like David Lynch, Jeff Goldblum, and Norah Jones is enlivened by performances of several of her best-known songs, including "Stay", "Seventeen", "Like I Used To", and "I Love You but I’m Lost".

I believe that dealing with and overcoming past traumas has had such a huge influence on this artist that iit makes sense that this focuses so heavily on those subjects. I feel that I now know and understand her better which in turn has really made me appreciate her music that much more.

A very personal look at an artist's life.

A powerful story. Sharon is an unapologetic storyteller when it comes to recounting her life. She brings added life to her amazing songs by sharing what was happening in her life while she was writing them, and what happened to inspire them. WELL worth the listen, and I was sad to hear it come to an end.

The story behind the music.

I hadn’t heard of Sharon before today, I’m glad I listened. Just hearing others life stories and how they are dealing with and growing from, the trauma they endured, is inspiring and helpful for others that have had similar experiences and struggles in their lives. Thank you, Sharon, I will definitely be researching and listening to your music.

Another one I didn’t know I needed

This is a heartbreakingly beautiful hour and a half. Listening to it is like finding a calm in a storm, and then, somehow, the storm is gone.

What a rich listening experience it was to listen to an interview as thoughtful and beautiful as her music. I found Sharon Van Etten’s music to be transcendent well before I’d ever discovered her life story. So grateful for her art, which enriches our lives immeasurably.

A gem in every way

It's beautiful and honest, hopeful and well told. But, I found myself sobbing in a public place. Maybe just me, but I don't think so.

Careful. So good, but it can sneak up on you.

This is for fans like me that never really knew a lot about the artist, but knew her music had very somber tones. I'm glad I gave it a listen.

It was entertaining.
