Currently based in Brooklyn, NY, USA, van Etten débuted with single Much More Than That (2007, Abaton Book Company). Her album Are We There was released on 14 May 2014 on Jagjaguwar).
van Etten moved to Tennessee to attend Middle Tennessee State University, where she discovered a variety of influential music. After moving back home to New Jersey, she was encouraged by Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio to pursue a career in music.
van Etten undertook her first UK tour with Meg Baird in Jan 2008. She toured with Great Lake Swimmers on their European tour in May 2009, kicking it off with a show in London with Beirut and Shearwater. She again toured with them in September/October 2009.
On May 26th, 2009, she released her "Because I Was in Love" single on 12" vinyl, CD and MP3 on Language of Stone.
She was the first artist to record in 2010 for the Weathervane Music's Shaking Through video series.
On September 21, 2010, her sophomore album, "Epic" was released on Ba Da Bing. The powerful 7-track album featured much more instrumentation than her first, primarily-acoustic affair. The evolution of her sound proved that she is much more than a traditional folk singer-songwriter.
The release of Epic coincided with a difficult break-up of a relationship. She busied herself with touring for the record, but when the singer completed her schedule a year later, she found herself homeless in New York. After a period of sleeping on friends' couches, recovering from her heavy touring schedule, she hooked up the National's guitarist Aaron Dessner to record her third album, Tramp, which was released on February 7th, 2012.
May 2014 brought about the release of Van Etten's fourth record, Are We There, on Jagjaguwar. Van Etten self-produced the record with Stewart Lerman, with the guidance of bandmate and manager Zeke Hutchins. Most of the recording was done at Hobo Sound Studios in Weehawken, New Jersey, with piano tracks being recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. The record features musicians Zeke Hutchins, Doug Keith, Heather Woods Broderick, Dave Hartley, Adam Granduciel, Marisa Anderson, Stuart D. Bogie, Mickey Free, Mary Lattimore, Little Isidor, Jacob Morris, Torres' Mackenzie Scott, Shearwater's Jonathan Meiburg, Lower Dens' Jana Hunter, and Efterklang touring member Peter Broderick.
In 2015, the EP I Don't Want to Let You Down was released on Jagjaguwar. It is composed of the songs that did not make it onto Are We There.
On October 2, 2018, Van Etten released a new track entitled "Comeback Kid" and announced her next album Remind Me Tomorrow, which was released on January 18, 2019. On February 28, 2019, Van Etten appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform the single "Seventeen".

Sharon Van Etten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How'd it take a long, long time
To let us feel
Try to relate in my state
And the aura around me says
My love is for real
Touching your face
To be here
Turning the wheel on my street
My heart still skips a beat
It's echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing
Baby, baby, baby
I've been searching for you
I want to be in love
Baby, baby, baby
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting my whole life
For someone like you
It's true that everyone would like to have met
A love so real
A love so real
Baby, baby, baby
I've been searching for you
I want to be in love
Baby, baby, baby
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting my whole life
For someone like you
It's true that everyone would like to have met
A love so real
A love so real
A love so real

Nuestro amor es de verdad
¿Cómo tardó mucho, mucho tiempo?
¿Para dejarnos sentir?
Trate de relacionarse
En mi estado
Y el aura que me rodea dice
Mi amor es de verdad
Tocar tu cara
¿Cómo tardó mucho, mucho tiempo?
¿Estar aquí?
Girando la rueda en mi calle
Mi corazón sigue saltando un latido
Es hacer eco, hacer eco, hacer eco, hacer eco, hacer eco, hacer eco, hacer eco
Nena, nene, nene
Te he estado buscando
Quería estar enamorado
Nena, nene, nene
He estado esperando, esperando, esperando
Toda mi vida por alguien como tú
Es cierto que a todos les gustaría haber conocido
Un amor tan real
