Aimee Mann - Save Me

Videoclip of the song "Save Me" from Aimee Mann
Soundtrack to the film Magnolia
Written by Aimee Mann

[@ammortal]

I love Magnolia. I love Aimee Mann. There's nothing else I can add to the conversation.

[@elijahwilliamson3623]

Aimee Mann should've been cast in the movie as the wise, omnipresent friend they all ignored.

[@andrewlkozar]

Lmao

[@ChristianHernandez55]

As someone obsessed with Magnolia, i’m actually pretty blown away that this music video got made. The film was complicated enough to make! Yet they actually took the time to have Aimee come in on 8 separate occasions to lip sync while some of the finest actors on the planet just sat there in the shot. How in the hell did they manage to get all of this done? Also, one of the best casts for a music video, even if they’re not doing anything

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

took the time? Obviously they made it at the same time as they shot the scenes for the movie.

[@marcyeo4635]

Im madly in love with Magnolia & all of its characters only wanting one thing - to be loved Without Aimee Mann, the movie wouldnt be as poignant & prolific as it is

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

@@marcyeo4635 One of the best scripts ever imo

[@Gynecologist]

Looks like Tom Cruise couldn’t wait to get out of there though. Ducked out of frame just a bit too early.

Magnolia is one of the most brilliant movies ever made. It truly is about how we all have to try and move on from things in our life such as childhood and trauma.its a beautiful movie and song.

[@kellmano1]

I would love to see this movie again for the first time. I remember being blown away

[@eljefe104]

Magnolia has the best soundtrack ever. I can't think of another movie where the whole soundtrack is tailored so perfectly to the story.

[@michaeldyer5978]

PT Anderson heard Aimee Mann’s songs and that inspired the storyline.

[@imanis.h.8431]

Philadelphia is just as good

[@MrBearMelt]

She should have gotten the Academy Award for this. I know its an honor to be nominated but she shoulda got it just the same. I've loved Aimee's music for a long time, a definite talent with gifted lyrical insight to the human condition(s). And if I am sure..... this version is different from her Bachelor #2 release and I like this one much better. Love you Aimee!!!

[@MiloYellowknee]

I discovered Aimee Mann the same time I fell into a path forward in life at 25 after a long period of stress and worry. Also the same time I had a $500 car and money for gas to drive through remote parts of the Rocky Mountains… with some time off for reflection to take it all in. 17 years ago… Unbeknownst to me at the time, one of the greatest and impactful periods of my life. Grateful this music was there to share it with me.

[@andreabrown5530]

I’m trying to decide if Aimee is ridiculously underrated or unbelievably unrated. What a talent.

[@erikm8372]

I think she’s the latter… Are you aware she was the front woman of Til Tuesday, the 80s group behind “Voices Carry”? She wrote it about how she was kidnapped as a child by her mother… a scary story actually.

[@Kdija89]

Yup to the first part. Just recently learned from another video to the 2nd - sad.

[@shawnieBaby]

She ridiculously and unbelievably underrated. Her voice breaks my heart in the nicest possible way. 🥰🥲😇

[@shawnieBaby]

@@erikm8372she’s been breaking our hearts for decades.

[@Doc_Tar]

Over 20 years now and this song holds up better than any I can recall. Masterful

[@johnbeekman1396]

3:17 - I love how the melodica part subtly quotes The Carpenters' Superstar. "Loneliness... is such a sad affair..."

[@brovold72]

Oh you are correct!!

[@ocayul]

Whoah men, good ear. I heard something familiar, but i cannot trace it.

[@thermionic1234567]

You’re right! Love the Dealaney and Bonnie as well as Carpenters’ versions. Both great and very different! Like the Badfinger and Nilsson versions of “Without You.”

[@Ravivharshanee]

Amy Mann brings any artist, poet, musician to their knees with her beautiful songwriting and deep, meaningful thoughts. Love you, Amy...

[@kittycathiphop]

This song makes it past all my defenses and soothes the damaged part of me left by a narcissist mother.

[@autumnwind1216]

I know alot of people prefer him in Chicago which he earned a nomination for but this is easily the greatest John C. Reilly role imo. So vulnerable, transparent. Just beautiful.

[@BasedRanger]

Agreed. I'd like to see him take on more roles like this, he most certainly has the capacity for it.

[@mateuscarvalho3870]

PTA is such a bastard genius. This song just connect to every and each one of the characters in the movie.

[@norm3844]

FYI Aimee had been his friend for years and he used the songs as inspiration for everything in the Magnolia script

[@daveb.9371]

Best Ensemble Acting I've ever seen in a movie. Every actor in this delivers a home run performance..

[@45dable]

It's the kind of movie where the art shines everywhere. You can say the movie lasts three hours, however, this three hours never never feel heavy.

[@jamescampbell7653]

massive hit 2023

[@andrewlkozar]

THE 90'S BEST FILM

[@therealgreyman]

when times you just wanna die. you listen to this song. and even though the tendency to off youself doesnt go away. this gives you strength that someday, someone will definitely save you.

[@mosriteminioncause7741]

I am here to tell anyone like me the truth. I heard this song today for the first time and broke down. My wife had just had our daughter in 99 and by 2000 my wife was diagnosed with bone cancer...She relied on me, but the cancer killed her. 2021 my brother kidneys failed and went on dialysis, I tried to get him to take offered kidneys and he turned them down twice! Nov. of this past year, he had a hemorrhage and a powerful stroke and died. I learned all you can do is try but you can't really save anybody.....only God can .... but, here on Earth Death catches up to everybody sooner or later no matter what you do.

[@nicolerodgers9469]

when she smiled at the end of the movie!! perfection!

[@sunsetofnemesis]

Aimee Man totally melts my heart. Love cannot reach me, but at least I have music within me!!

[@thegoldenarrow8484]

One of the best films i've ever seen, it's mind blowing. It introduced me to Aimee which was a huge bonus.

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

Magnificent film, a real masterpiece and Aimee's music is perfect. The acting was so brilliant by everyone I only had to see them in this to feel all of their pain

[@johnbartholomew4831]

This is a pretty damned daring approach to a music video. Never saw anything like it before, and haven't seen anything like it since.

[@brett4732]

Aka. Courtney. You need to watch Magnolia. Ofcourse it’s just her in the background of many of the characters scenes .., but maybe that’s what you mean cause that is unique

[@mongolianqwerty123]

Late to the party here, but there is a lot of esoteric symbolism in both the film and the music video, and they comment on each other. PTA possesses real genius. To gloss it a little, the use of Aimee Mann as a singing "Watcher" has biblical connotations. She is connected to the lights and the cameras, and the revolving sets and movement during frozen tableau suggests she operates beyond/between space and time. She is associated with Sophia and A.I. as well. Very deep stuff

[@superhetoric]

@@mongolianqwerty123 a.i.? I know Sophia, but..

[@searabia]

Such a fitting song for these trying times that we are living in with COVID-19. Music is my only solace and Aimee Mann's dulcet tones especially so.

I've only learned of Aimee Mann this week, and I'm so damn glad that I've found an artist such as her. She's VERY distinctive: with her gorgeous face, unique videos, and liquid lyrics that flow throughout each song of hers. She's definitely one of my FAVORITE artists forever. Thank you Aimee, for creating such wonderful music, and giving emotion. Funny thing - the first time I listened to this song, I started crying so much, and not with sad tears, it's such an emotional song. Thank you.

I saw Aimee Mann live about a decade and a half ago. Before she performed this song, she said, "If you're gonna lose an Oscar to someone, it might as well be Phil Collins, I guess."

[@linalicious415]

This movie came out when I was really little & i finally saw it at 13. I'm a huge Julianne Moore fan after seeing her in Boogie Nights as Amber Waves. She was amazing in this film as well. The message that I took from this film was that u never ever truly know what anybody is actually going through. Even if u think u know, u do not know truly in reality.

[@LaughingStock_]

Poignant as hell not least when the camera zooms over and beyond the late, oh-so-great Philip Seymour Hoffman. Fabulous song. Why the hell wasn't / isn't this girl HUGE?! P.s. Why, oh, why isn't this available in serious HD?

[@cicolasnage5684]

She actually was pretty big in the 80s, she was in a band in the called Till Tuesday and had a pretty big hit with them called Voices Carry. She had success as a solo artist but wasn’t HUGE until pta used her songs for magnolia.

Amo demais essa música e esse vídeo com cenas do belo e triste filme Magnólia, de Paul Thomas Andersosn. Aliás a trilha, composta praticamente por Aimee Mann, é excelente. Sempre que ouço estas músicas me dá vontade de chorar. A realidade dura exposta no filme é mesmo de amargar, e compatível com as minhas dores, porém, no fim do túnel, sempre há uma luz. Muito massa!
