One of the most underrated and unappreciated musical talents of our lifetime. That voice...the imagination and genius behind the music. Just amazing. I saw her live at a small club back in the mid 90's in Kansas City. Studio quality, live performance. Stunning.
Aimee Mann's "Bachelor No. 2" is greatest rock/pop album since Beatles "Sgt. Pepper"! Great melodies, chord progressions, vocal effects -- a true masterpiece! But all of you are here because you already know that!
There are plenty of LPs better than Pepper - sorry, it is an extremely overrated LP with a ton of simply dreadful filler in amongst the 3 masterpieces. Try "Forever Changes" (by Love); "Muswell Hillbillies" (Kinks); "Odyssey and Oracle" (Zombies); "No Other" (Gene Clark); Spirit of Eden (Talk Talk); Laughing Stock (Talk Talk); "Bryter Layter" (Nick Drake); "The Queen Is Dead" (Smiths); Rattus Norvegicus (Stranglers); Greetings from L.A. (Tim Buckley) - just a few leagues ahead of Pepper. As for "Bachelor" - very good, indeed, and frequently great, but I personally prefer "Whatever". But, hey, it's Aimee, therefore it's gold.
She really is master class talent. I was lucky enough to get a phone interview with her around 1990 for a local music mag my friend was publishing. It was kind of an in between time for her. I think she was still working under the "Til Tuesday" name. It has been great to see her develop over the years and in my opinion just get better and better.
This song is sublime in its layers, in its composition, in its execution. One of my all time favorites from this amazing woman. Listen to this on headphones if you dare. It's on Bachelor #2. You won't be able to listen to it only once.
Some of us have, luckily, always known. I am really lucky to have a friend who has kept me listening to the best stuff that exists since...gosh, maybe 1990. Everyone should have a Chad Whittle :0) (Hey, you must be on Google plus :0)
Amy Lynn Hunt I imagine I got a little side tracked thinkin about all the different times I just wanted to walk away and call it quits. This old video brings up lots and lots of memories. One of my favorite ones she sings goes, "I want you-ooh-ooh, but your a poltergeist." I've sung that one all day before. I can play the one that goes, "Tell me why I feels so bad honey, TVs flat and nothing is funny, I get sad and stuck in a cone of silence." Well I'll see you later.
I don't know how I missed out on the greatness... as I am a product of the early 1980s... better late than never. I knew of Aimee's music, and regret not caring for it until now. Aimee, you're definitely the right Mann for music. The pun sucked but the sentiment is my own. She's awesome.
Amazing resemblance to Joni Mitchell from the "Court and Spark" era ~~~~ And they both are my favorite musicians ~~~ both are brilliant and endlessly talented ;)
Thank you for posting this! Never saw it, and it is pretty damn awesome! After almost 30 years now, I have to say, I have yet to hear or see Aimee do something that wasn't any good.
Never knew the talent of this beauty. Remember her band back in the day. Thought she was a one hit wonder of the 80's Just stumbled onto her music of the last two decades. I LIKE IT !
I notice a Aimee has a lot of man fans but for all the right reasons. She has a Liver Pool, London Choice of Chord crafting , vocal variations to capture that U.K magic that I still try to achieve , She is not just another pretty face just one of the best writer, musician in my world. I'm concert stadium on the radio playin road tightened, She Is Just that Damn Good. I am David Fleming studying Mann
David Fleming Hey there David. I am so curious, what do you mean by that phrase london choice of chord crafting. Yes, some of the changes in this song are beautiful, the shift up to the second half of the verses for example, or those subtle alterations in the last verse last couple of bars just before the final chorus. Shivers! :) I also like this video for a personal reason, which is I used to frequent that restaurant Amagi in the video when I first moved to L.A. many years ago. Anyway, who cares, I know. Cheers!
thank you for bringing this vid to us. aimee is a revelation, and this moment she & her filmmaker have created with such a lovely song is a testament to a feeling most of us who have made music our lives have shared and from there recovered. We truly make music because we have the calling,but we pray others will get it, like it, even love it. I love aimee, and thanks again.
I totally agree. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Red Vines was my favorite song. But then I heard another song. Then I heard Satellite. Every song is brilliant.
nice... thanks for posting this mannfan... i was in an aimee mood.. just saw her 3rd annual x-mas show last night here in san diego.. awsome show.. I hadn't seen this vid.. so.. thx again!
This is a good song too.i never heard all these songs on utube of Aimees before.but they are all very good too.i didn't know she was that talented.sje is also a professional artist! She is very very talented and lucky to have so many gifts and talents.😊Take careAimee Mann
I saw her at the Napa Uptown Theatre this week and she was fantastic as she always is when I see her. The sound was amazing, her voice luscious and her backup band excellent. The theatre is beautiful, one of the best places to see an artist in the bay area.
I pretty much feel the exact same way. She has always been great but she just seems to get better with time! I hope she keeps up the great work. I was lucky that I had a good friend Turn me on to the later Til Tuesday stuff, not just the first hits and I have followed her every since. A true artist! Glad there are others that get it as well!
Awesome! I have never seen this video before, it's so funny how in the beginning the two girls are singing Voices Carrie. What a great song and video, Aimee Mann is the best:)
I never know if it's Aimee's daunting and brilliant lyrics or haunting harmonies, but I've been a fan for years. She is simply an unstoppable, delicious, musical goddess. So much to say and so well said...love you Aimee!
What a freaking genius song. Aimee is clearly the most underrated songwriter in pop. As a fan of Steely Dan - I am shocked that Mr. Steely didn't think she was a good fit for their tour.
She's the smartest indie chick ever. There are other indie chicks I like, too, but none are close to Aimee. She holds the crown for lyrics, music and integrity 💜😎🎶
Aside from this being an amazing song, I love this video for its contrast of the extraordinary happening whilst surrounded by the mundane but not trying to call attention to itself.
Aimee is such a unique and wonderful talent- it's too bad that often the music videos that accompany her songs are weak, this one is no exception- she needs a director with some inspiration.
Her Bachelor No. 2 cd is like a greatest hits cd. I love every single song on that disc. This is probably my favoraite buit I love them all. She is an amazing talent.
I didn't know this song existed, but I like it even after hearing for the very first time! I only clicked on the video because I thought she really WAS calling it quits. I hope that doesn't happen for a very long time. Aimme's awesome!
Always reminds me of two other artists/groups - a female George Harrison being produced by ELO. Wonderful hook. The other is Rufus Wainwright. Very similar patterns in chord and song structures. Me Like.
@MyAngelMamaMine It's about her time spent on Geffen (I didn't make the connection at first either but then when you see it in that context the lines take on a different meaning), this was on her first independent release as a solo artist. They tried to sexualise her image etc. She mentioned it as the meaning of the song in interviews and I believe also the press release for the album.
One of the most underrated and unappreciated musical talents of our lifetime. That voice...the imagination and genius behind the music. Just amazing. I saw her live at a small club back in the mid 90's in Kansas City. Studio quality, live performance. Stunning.
Aimee Mann is a blessed gift to the world. This song is like a dreamed experience.
Aimee Mann's "Bachelor No. 2" is greatest rock/pop album since Beatles "Sgt. Pepper"! Great melodies, chord progressions, vocal effects -- a true masterpiece! But all of you are here because you already know that!
Yeah, i dig it out every now and again and it never disappoints!
Agree 100% brilliant album. Deathly and You Do are particularly stand out tracks.

Aimee never chased the dream. She is the dream
She created her career on her terms and I love that she did. I love this song as well as the 1st Til Tuesday albums.
Aimee never walked the path, she is the path.
It cracks me up how wonderfully accurate this video is. Amazing.
Possibly her best song. All about her career, fame, pressure to stay thin and pretty, and selling out. Possibly her best song.
She really is master class talent. I was lucky enough to get a phone interview with her around 1990 for a local music mag my friend was publishing. It was kind of an in between time for her. I think she was still working under the "Til Tuesday" name. It has been great to see her develop over the years and in my opinion just get better and better.
I love the lyrics. This lady expresses thoughts we all feel .And.. this is actually sort of funny!
I can’t believe it took me 30+ years to listen to Aimee - one of the few artists that can sing your life in one line 💕
Everybody who liked pop in the 80s remembers "Voices Carry" - a monster MTV hit - but I confess I did lose track of her for years.
Time has been a friend to her. Still beautiful, still wonderful after all these years. All the best Aimee.
Love this song and album - Aimee Mann is a genius!
Bachelor #2 is one of my favorite albums of all time. I still listen to it regularly.
Love this song! Aimee is a rare gem, and then some . . .
I love this song
This song is sublime in its layers, in its composition, in its execution. One of my all time favorites from this amazing woman. Listen to this on headphones if you dare. It's on Bachelor #2. You won't be able to listen to it only once.
She just has an amazing voice. She has gotten better over the years. Thanks for posting.
Aimee is incredible....I hope people are beginning to notice that after all this time.
Some of us have, luckily, always known. I am really lucky to have a friend who has kept me listening to the best stuff that exists since...gosh, maybe 1990. Everyone should have a Chad Whittle :0) (Hey, you must be on Google plus :0)
Sorry, can't read all that on mobile, was it about this video?
Amy Lynn Hunt I imagine I got a little side tracked thinkin about all the different times I just wanted to walk away and call it quits. This old video brings up lots and lots of memories.

This is from her 'Dodo' album - and it's a great one, and this is a wonderful song
She's a treasure
The beautiful Aimee Mann, folks. x
I know this song is 16+ years old, but I keep coming back to/LOVE THE MELODY & COUNTER MELODY here! xoxoxoxo
One of the best songwriters of all time!
Wonderful song. Such a beautiful artist making outstanding and meaningful music.
, koiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioiiiiiopopppppppppiiiiih yr s to opp opp o ok o ok l
I gotta say that’s kind of a brilliant music video. She’s pouring her heart out and nobody’s paying attention
Love this song. Love Aimee
I don't know how I missed out on the greatness... as I am a product of the early 1980s... better late than never.
I knew of Aimee's music, and regret not caring for it until now.
Aimee, you're definitely the right Mann for music. The pun sucked but the sentiment is my own. She's awesome.
Always a Song master and perfectly innocent
Amazing resemblance to Joni Mitchell from the "Court and Spark" era ~~~~ And they both are my favorite musicians ~~~ both are brilliant and endlessly talented ;)
I was just thinking that! I actually discovered her music after hearing her cover of The Hissing of Summer Lawns, and I've been listening ever since.
Aimee is such an incredible artist. I never get tired of listening.
Forever in my heart your beauty voice and song.
I love the production on this too (the music recording).
I can't believe it. My girl is BACK!
She is so amazing...
Yes she is !!!!
Ersley Johns
Keep coming back to this great song. Tight production and those bvs always make me smile. Aimee’s so good…
i love her!
Thanks for posting this!!! Such a great songwriter. Beautiful.

I love her lyrics. I could listen to her music for a long, long time!
love all her music. and loved her on artist den.
Aimee Mann is everything.
Such a class act in every way.
Love that you can sing along with her because you can understand the lyrics 💜
Aimee is captivating. Wow.

It's the opposite for me, people I know who are Aimee Mann fans are females. The few male fans that I know only like the till' tuesday songs.
so love this
Aimee is smooth as silk and more innovative than anyone else in her turn of a phrase and songwriting. I adore her!!
I love her voice

do you remember commenting this?
I totally agree. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Red Vines was my favorite song. But then I heard another song. Then I heard Satellite. Every song is brilliant.
Love is loyalty

"so I'm wearing the shoe 'til it fits," another good one. Helps explain some people.
STILL pretty as hell .
Awesome! I have never seen this video before, it's so funny how in the beginning the two girls are singing Voices Carrie. What a great song and video, Aimee Mann is the best:)
She is ..... essential to me
I never know if it's Aimee's daunting and brilliant lyrics or haunting harmonies, but I've been a fan for years. She is simply an unstoppable, delicious, musical goddess. So much to say and so well said...love you Aimee!

Absolutly great, thanks for the upload
Beautiful song and lyrics.
thanks for posting this!
Pretty song😊
🎶😇🏆💯🎵🎤🎻🎸😊
Aside from this being an amazing song, I love this video for its contrast of the extraordinary happening whilst surrounded by the mundane but not trying to call attention to itself.
wonderful.... and I can't quite believe that Mental Health is fast becoming one of my favs :)
first time I hear she singing, great voice and music......regards from the ass of the world (argentina)
Love the fact that this was in my home town ^_^!
Love this video and the song is incredible.
Aimee is such a unique and wonderful talent- it's too bad that often the music videos that accompany her songs are weak, this one is no exception- she needs a director with some inspiration.
omg thank you for posting this!
ScandinavianSingers: Great playlist. I've been trying to discover more of AM so your list gives me a great place to start. Thanks!
Me neither. Of all my favorite artists, she's #1 on my list!!!
Her Bachelor No. 2 cd is like a greatest hits cd. I love every single song on that disc. This is probably my favoraite buit I love them all. She is an amazing talent.
Great voice.
"And that dream has a hell of a lead".
Truer words were never spoken.
If this gal ever called it quits, my world would end.
every song she does has something that is a cut above others....so under-rated.
I didn't know this song existed, but I like it even after hearing for the very first time! I only clicked on the video because I thought she really WAS calling it quits. I hope that doesn't happen for a very long time. Aimme's awesome!
Her lyrics come from a deep place. A true songwriter who knows about life.
Up in the ranks of Laura Nyro.
This is a beautifully arranged video.
What a funny music video. Not ha-ha funny, but interesting funny. She's so self deprecating, love it.
Thank you Aimee ...
She's grown up more then when she was in the 80's, She looks great!
Always reminds me of two other artists/groups - a female George Harrison being produced by ELO. Wonderful hook. The other is Rufus Wainwright. Very similar patterns in chord and song structures. Me Like.
YES....I agree completely. You called it mi amigo. Cheers...
+Joe Schoenberger Yeah, there's like a Jeff Lynne thing happening. That's weird.
What a Song! LOVE
Best still peforming vocalist. Bachelor No 2 best rock album since Beatles Sgt Pepper.
She's pure genius.
Such a funny video, and so Aimee Mann, lol. 3:)
wait a minute... Why would the curly fries at a Japanese Cuisine restaurant?
This is just amazing to me.
wow she rocks!!! i like her since i heard this song for 1st time shes amazing..
love that intro about the dream having a lead!
In 1984, who'd have thought the blondie from Til Tuesday would be this good and only getting better? A true class act here.
awesome once again! high five!
Somewhat older, non the less Aimee still has gift too make great music. Too bad Till Tuesday didn't get the same way back when.
@MyAngelMamaMine It's about her time spent on Geffen (I didn't make the connection at first either but then when you see it in that context the lines take on a different meaning), this was on her first independent release as a solo artist. They tried to sexualise her image etc. She mentioned it as the meaning of the song in interviews and I believe also the press release for the album.
The more I listen to Aimee Mann, the more I realize how great she is.
So in love with this woman..what can i say
I love u aimee u sound so good your music is so nice i just love everything about u aimee your great❤😁😁
love her....loved her when i was growing up when she was in Til Tuesday.
