about

Local favorites Magen Tracy & the Missed Connections are three-time Boston Music Award nominees known for earworm melodies, sharp lyrical play, and commanding live shows. Tracy has also played in other notable acts, including Band of Their Own, Kay Hanley, Juliana Hatfield, and Life- style. Her new single, “At My Age,” shares a deeply personal—but universal—story about having the right to make choices about our bodies and our future.

lyrics

I never pictured I’d live to this day
Helpless and burning with impotent rage
Here at my age

Now our stories spill like water on the floor
I’m not a hero, just another one in four
Just a woman who wanted more
Even at my age

She will be seventeen
I wasn’t seventeen
You wouldn’t say I hadn’t lived my life
Or didn’t have the means
Does that make it any less of a hard earned right
To say I want what a have
And I don’t want anymore
How can I picture what she might have said
Knowing her choice was different when she was my age
When she was my age

I tell myself she’d only want for me
Comfort and a mother’s guarantee
Is it selfish to live so free?
At my age

We weighed the pros and cons
And by the time you strip the shame away
It was a clear decision
Now I’ve got one less right than I did that day
Because they take what they can
Til they can’t take anymore

There’s still a million ways she’ll blow my mind
She’ll make her own decisions
I’ll burn this whole place down to get her back that right
So she can take what she wants
And they can’t take any more
Nothing can keep her from turning each page
If she’s thirteen or nineteen or even my age
Even at my age

The only thing she’ll ever hear from me
Is comfort and a mother’s guarantee
It’s not selfish to live so free
Even at my age
So spill your stories out like water on the floor
For every hero and for every one in four
Every woman who wanted more
At my age
