Aimee Mann-The making of Mental Illness

[@harrylee4165]

She's the most underrated artist in the last 2 decades. Aimee is our generations Joni Mitchell or Carole King, only better. I love the haunting and mystical melancholy sound of her songs. I could listen to her all day and often do. You've got to hear her songs more than once, because they grow on you and gain in depth and quality with listening. She also totes hot, wish she was touring in FL because I'd definitely pay to see her or buy her new Album.

[@waterkingdavid]

Didn't even know about her until today. Had the song "Wise up" on my mind this morning from the movie Magnolia and wondered who wrote such brilliant lyrics. And here I am!

[@merckx1776]

Yo no conocía a esta artista. Me encantan los 80. Es fantástica ella.

[@MrMagusperde]

Aimee has given me 20 years plus enjoyment quality lyrics and tunes. Even have all her early work....i could listen to her til Tuesday!!! (Clue)

[@jenniferwroblewski4312]

Yes, she is the best. Mental Illness is bananas. Two years later and I'm dropping into the Mental Illness pocket for a week or so. . . again. . .

[@lithum556]

1000% agree.....so talented, and yet below the radar enough that many haven't heard of her or know about her brilliant music! I adore her music, and lyrics.

[@shrew972]

best female voice - warm and frozen at the same time

[@tinajeppesen5948]

Something about her sounds like a bird when she sings beautiful

[@mariannehutchison1698]

I really like her style!

[@moonbeanification]

"...people who are crazier (present company included) are just bigger puzzles to solve... and I like a good puzzle." Oh Aimee.... a girl after my own heart... I love you!

[@bmehigan67]

This woman has had as big an impact on my life as anyone. I love her, without knowing her, that is.

[@Cicilo1983]

Brian, her music has had such an impact on my life too. At this point, I feel like her music is part of my DNA - the minute a song of hers begins, whether it's a new song or one I've listened to thousands of times, I have this soul-deep reaction. Albums like "Welcome Home", "Everything's DIfferent now", "Lost in space" and "Smilers" are just amazing. She's a truly underrated artist.

[@bmehigan67]

I fell for her in Kenmore Square in 1985 (!!!) where Til Tuesday played on top of the Strawberry's Records store. I'm about to turn the page on another chapter in my life, just in time for new stuff from Aimee. I have been wearing out Charmers (amazing, of course) for the last six months. I could go on and on about her, no one else i know seem to get it... their loss.

[@Cicilo1983]

Love at first sight for me too, been a fan from the very first time I heard "Voices Carry". Nice to meet a fellow diehard fan - it's other people's loss indeed ! ;)

[@bmehigan67]

What does that mean?

[@TheGreatConstantini]

And I as well. I have been a musician, albeit not a good one, since I was maybe seven. But I never connected with what I really thought my music was let alone what music is at all until I heard Ms. Mann. I was able to accept my music as very inexpensive therapy, after the equipment :) Like Aimee I have never viewed my musings as depressing or sad, but then I

[@UncleTonyGuitar]

This album is a full-on masterpiece, and I don't say that lightly.

[@katwashere194]

It really is. I listen to it often

[@Cicilo1983]

This album got me through one of the toughest periods of my life. And it won the Grammy for Folk Album of the Year ! Amazing, and well-deserved !!!

[@davidg8851]

I've been listening to Aimee's music since my college days in the early 90s. I love her music so much. She's also one artist I've still never seen live. Please come and see us in Europe Aimee.

[@cosmicroadshow3288]

Goose Snowcone is my most favorite songs. I sing this song when I need to soothe myself into a space of silence. It is so unconditional and so enrapturing. It lulls me into a peace like a big persons lullaby

[@danieldoyle705]

Your voice will never change and great to see you still singing! You seem to have alot of courage and strength!

[@ansharyunus5326]

My fav album by far, love the melody, arrangement, lyrics, everything

[@PureBlood42]

Remarkable, stunning, brilliant and charming lady! ❤️ ❤️

[@robertcubinelli4961]

There is nothing wrong with singing about real life......good or bad....whatever, Aimee is a living legend, without a shadow of a doubt.

[@harris9324]

She's just so real, quirky and down to earth. Can't wait for the album.

[@rushishah1995]

Haris Sehic her insta page is not even right ticked

[@paulelliott3220]

Beautiful and very talented Wonderful artist and can't wait to hear this on constant repeat

[@youkyouk7471]

Love and Respect from France , this album is simply Pure Magic ❤️

[@JaywalkingTheWorld]

Outstanding. And that interview was beautifully shot. One camera, with no pointless cutaways. Good stuff.

[@ericsteffy3572]

I'm so excited to hear that Aimee has a new album coming out soon. She was great with her side project, Both, but it's time for more beautiful, sad, insightful music from this great artist. I met Aimee after a show in Santa Fe, too many years ago. Not expecting to get to meet her, I didn't bring a cd cover for her to sign. I ran out to my beetle and grabbed my Till Tuesday tape, Everything's Different Now. I was so star struck, and very inebriated, I embarrassed myself stating to her, " I like the way you put words together". Ahh, fun times. Thanks Aimee!

[@jeffdupuis5800]

I listen to this (over and over) hiking in the white mountains and it renews my soul each time. It might be my favorite album of all time.

[@clydeshowalter9819]

been a fan since the 70's when Til Tuesday won Battle of the Bands on WBCN....truly amazing...Aimee Mann youre the singing bird on a rainy bird

[@Pr0bablyVic]

Aimee Mann's music carries a stark honesty without being self referential, which can easily make you relate to what's she's saying, while her disarmingly beautiful musical delivery lends tenderness to that experience, leaving you feeling reassured, and perhaps less alone. Obviously, such gifted artists must remain underappreciated in these attention deprived times of manufactured music.

[@TimKreitzAdventures]

Still awesome after all these years. Voices carry, and so does true talent.

[@carlosirineu]

I just cannot be thankful enough for every single song you did. Met you back in the days of Magnolia's soundtrack, still in love with you since then. What you do is nothing short of pure magic. Thank you for existing, for having the courage to express such depth of thoughts and feelings in a delicious form.

[@andyappleton3353]

Love you Aimee Mann. Thanks for making your music. The melancholy and downbeat overall sound of your music is so relaxing and soothing for me. It's calming in a way that little else is. And it's been consistent for nearly 3 decades.

[@johnb8153]

I first saw Aimee live was when she was with 'Til Tuesday in the mid-80's. She's been my favorite singer-songwriter ever since she started her solo career. I think Mental Illness may be my favorite album of her's ever, and I thought nothing would be better than BN2. Her latest is a masterpiece. It wasn't produced, it was crafted....

[@modarXmodar]

love her

[@elsquibbs]

I think this is her best album. I can listen to it over and over again.

[@coreythomas1272]

Aimee has a certain kind of awesomeness that can't be defined.

[@Palace-of-Madness]

So glad you still with us Aimee. Keep doing you, luv.

[@phyllishollman9251]

Really love this album. Out of all of Aimee's albums, I feel this one is the best. And I love them all. Beautiful album!

[@hollyespen849]

Your music got me through after being sexually assaulted at 17, being raised by a narcissist father who never showed love bleh I am 47 now add cptsd and anxiety but am doing better than I ever have.. healing is slow music is my best friend who never left me. Thank you for not being afraid to sing your songs about mental illness. There needs to be more help for people who are suffering..heres to hoping. Best wishes and thank you Aimee. Beautiful voice and songwriting. Holly

[@daikaijuzilla]

I'm so excited to listen to more wonderful Aimee Mann masterpieces! :D

[@nycubster]

OMG this album is so great!!!

[@synergyblayze]

Im pretty sure she's been the only guest artist on a rush track. I've loved her forever... but let that sink in

[@GusFrame]

AIMEE MANN, ESCUCHE TODAS CANCIONES CUANDO TENIA DEPRESIÓN, QUERIA HUNDIRME, QUERIA SOLO ESTAR SOLO EN ESTE MUNDO, CREO QUE ESCUCHARTE ME HIZO CAMBIAR MI VIDA, TU MÚSICA ME LLEGO AL FONDO DE MI CORAZÓN, ERES UNA DE MIS COMPOSITORAS FAVORITAS...

[@bruceobrien6604]

I loved her music since voices carry years I wish her only the best and so glad she still shares her talent with us

[@EricMcDowellegm]

This is, to me, her finest album yet. Can't stop playing it!

[@danishnative9555]

I have always loved Aimee. She is talented and spreads interesting messages.

[@katwashere194]

I love hearing Aimee talk about music. She’s interesting, funny, intelligent, and I love all of her music 🥰

[@davidarbuckle7236]

Mental Illness. I know this subject being raised by a mother who was in and out of institutions. I love Aimee Mann's music. It touches me deeply.

[@johnmcgarry9519]

You kept your identity through your metamorphosis and lifted evolution. So very few do. Read your comments. You are loved!

[@thesurfacenyc]

I can not wait. this'll be really beautiful, I can tell. thank you Aimee for being so wonderful!

[@billsgarage1964]

I can't wait to get album, your my all time fav :)

[@bhoussock]

So glad you mentioned Jonathan Coulton! Never heard of him, but I've been playing All This Time on REPEAT! Now I really want to come to the Philly date in April.

[@marksweeney5944]

Thank you for explaining what a "Goose Snow Cone" is!! It was driving me crazy (no pun intended) and now it all makes sense. Beautiful song from a beautiful singer and song writer. You are my all-time favorite, Aimee!

[@JamesFBurke-me3lu]

You're my hero, Aimee. On every level.

[@joaquimribeiro5504]

Always beautiful voice and music.

[@rorao]

What a great album title.

[@dddilippp]

So looking forward to this album, already bought the merch :)

[@MrCboggs]

OH my I can't believe this!!! One of my all time favorite artists!! I was playing in bands in Boston when Til Tuesday was in the early 80's. Remember her show at the Chanel in Boston so well ( gross carpet and feet would stick to it ) I'm not a film maker working on a Documentary on PTSD and Aimee does an album on mental illness. Aimee if you read this we need to talk!!!!

[@shuddupeyaface]

I just happened, I stumbled across Amore Man in Heywood, Lancashire. My local library when I was 15. "I'm with stupid" just caught my eye. No idea why. But that's how a found out about Aimee Mann and Her brilliant music. That you!

[@shuddupeyaface]

* Thank

[@elizabethw.454]

We love you, Amy ❤️❤️

[@carlac8228]

You helped me when I first heard your music on World Cafe on the way home from working 30 min over. 31 Today. Love your BEING and (Had a laugh when I spotted ya in BVS, too.) LOST IN SPACE IS AMAZING after breakup with BPD, realizing my father is BPD as well. Just Thank you, Aimee for bringing in some sanity into my ironic life. I hear...infp

[@frankf4421]

I’m so thankful Opal got to sing Independent Together along with Mr. Universe. Aimee Have a beautiful voice

[@kurtispontifex]

She's sung every abstract thought and feeling I've had! Even the ones that are more like screams!

[@kesiel]

“All you wanna do Is see me turn into...” “*gasp* a giant woman.”

[@Koriixia]

Omg yes 😭❤

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

I love this album… It’s right up there with “lost in space” for me

[@pissoff8961]

Aimee Mann is a natural song writer and an extremely talented musician!

[@stevelano1215]

I really love her and her music came to me late in life but is so making me younger in life. 56 late

[@gsogymrat]

I'm embarrassed to say I actually Googled "goose snow cone" when the song was released. Thanks for the explanation!

[@CursiMusic]

I did the same lol

[@uglybuthonest]

@@hostilefork You met her?!!!!!!!!

[@uglybuthonest]

@@hostilefork Aimee Mann is my favourite singer - songwriter. I really gotta meet her some day.

[@uglybuthonest]

@@hostilefork OK. I'll see what I can find.

[@theunstruck9614]

I put the question of greatest songwriters out on quora a few years ago; didn't get a lot of feedback but those who did answer agreed with me that Aimee is an all-time great and perhaps without peer on the lyrical side. I wanted to point out that when I heard this song, and I had only listened to 3 times prior to viewing this upload, I thought the line was "looking out over goose snow corn", and the imagery was of a lonely woman looking out the window I wet a fresh snow-fallen storm field and it sort of capturing the stillness and barrenness of one of those moments that can overtake the more introspective types out there. Learning the true inspiration will send me on a new journey on my next listens. I look forward to it, but I will miss the imagery of my misunderstanding. Life is funny.

[@paulvalley7532]

Amy, Wow, I guess I've had my head in the sand. I was introduced to you and your music just recently on NPR. Thanks for doing that interview but I guess it was for PR. For me it's always been about storytelling in an acoustical format. Joni Mitchell, Dan Fogelberg, Gordon Lightfoot, Loggins and Messina, Cat Stevens, (local to my footprint John Bassett), later there was Tracy Chapman and Indigo Girls, but I'm not sure how I didn't trip over you sooner. I really like the new album and will be checking out some of your older stuff too. Keep painting a picture with your words. Let me know if you stroll past Cleveland. I'll try to scrape the peanuts together to see/hear you live, [been out of work since getting fired for getting sick so Melancholy is back in with me]. :-) Take care, Paul

[@dreameryxosoul]

I can't wait♥

[@anisong3258]

Aimee you are fabulous!😊

[@aggierowe9574]

She is so cool and her process is just inspirational. I am writing my MFA thesis listening to this and her album. I think I will add her name to my dedications!!! thanks Aimee

[@scotm3599]

Still as beautiful as the first time I saw her back in the 80s singing Voices Carry

[@danlynch8520]

Aimee loves us. That's why she makes music!!!

[@Kae6502]

Complicated feelings? - Check. - Aimee Mann understanding them? - Oh Yeah. Thank you.

[@BUweB]

Wonderful Album.

[@silverchessdragon]

Aimee is gorgeously intelligent. And then you have her wonderfully rich, deep, songs which invariably hit the mark dead centre. And on top of that you have the most fantastically expressive voice which she uses to perfection. We are all so, so lucky to be around the same time as her. She's a great artist whose work will last. Those of us who get it now love her to pieces.

[@abmqa]

LOVE YA AIMEE!

[@EmilyCedenoMlleNoko]

Awesome. I love you Aimee!

[@chrisdinunno1737]

Go Aimee I've been a fan ever since I heard that popular song and you know which one that is the guitar work is amazing I'm a guitar player I've been playing since 1980 we were pretty good in the tri-state area Pennsylvania West Virginia and Maryland well maybe Ohio to so that would be 4 a local scene where our studio music was played quite a bit on FM 92 hosted by Norman Hall and Trapper so I like your guitar work you have a beautiful voice and what else can I say I just subscribed go and get it girl and Merry Christmas.

[@JoseLuisGarcia-wl6vo]

Beautiful woman, even more now than 30 years ago

[@11Garrett11]

Love that she got that Grammy!!

[@thelonelyghosts9004]

This only validates what I’ve been screaming for years - Amiee needs to record with Brandi Carlile and The Twins. This record makes me remember Brandi’s first, big-label record “The Story.”

[@rajanderphilip9531]

Natch. Wonderful to hear about the record, its inspirations and its contents! Looking forward - and great to see the beautiful Ms. Mann smiling and enthusiastic - (without qualifying as a bona fide smiler, that is).
