For All the Seasons of Your Mind

For All the Seasons of Your Mind is the second studio album by singer-songwriter Janis Ian, released in October 1967.

Before "Society's Child" became a hit, Ian began work on her second album, which was recorded in January 1967.

For All the Seasons of Your Mind was released in October 1967, just after her debut had peaked on Billboard.

Like the debut, For All the Seasons of Your Mind addressed controversial topics: "Queen Merka and Me" was one of the first songs written about homosexual love,[3] the single "Insanity Comes Quietly to the Structured Mind" dealt with suicide,[4] and "Shady Acres" was a dark look at home and burial services for elderly relatives.

[6] During her period of prominence in the middle 1970s Janis Ian would distance herself from her Verve albums, calling them "a tax write-off for Verve",[7] and apart from one performance of "Insanity Comes Quietly to the Structured Mind" at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 1976[8] she is not known to have performed anything from For All the Seasons of Your Mind since leaving Verve.
