Aimee Mann has many terrific lyrics in her sight. She is an authentic navigator and focuses on the less traumatic subjects, however she still conceives to have some kind of fear in her songs. Two other great songs I found were, Driving Sideways and Beautiful. Although both of these words seem very precise in action, and they are both a bit of an opposite, they are both indulged with fear. In the song Beautiful we notice that it talks about a fine day out on a date. She talks about how the date started and how good the kiss felt. However, she then questions why so much tenderness hurts her. Through the lyrics she repeats this statement a couples of times. Here we get the intimidation that she is trying to tell someone and to let someone know by her writing this song; however she wishes they can see it without the need of her voice to say it. She also says, how I wish you can see it, this shows that she wants to let someone know that although she makes someone happy, she feels hurt with so much tenderness.
The other lyric I found by Aimee Mann was the song called Driving sideways. Again the title both insinuates that they are two very opposite songs. They are opposite in subject, but just like we heard Aimee Mann scream out for help in the prior lyrics, we also hear her cry for help in this lyrics. In these lyrics we also see that Aimee Mann is trying to let someone know what is happening, but she is topics that they see it with their own eyes without the need of her voice saying anything. Here they are people driving in a car again. Then they must be intoxicated of some kind. Eventually the title tells us that they are driving sideways and something bad is happening. Through the poem we realize that they will never make it to their destination.
When we click together both of these lyrics we see that Aimee Mann has some kind of fight to gather up some kind of fear she has lived or she has some concern about and wishes to have spoken out without actually letting her voice say anything. Both of thse lyrics fight for a fearful voice that is hidden behind the voice of this lady. I believe that with her own personal style, Aimee Mann connects her lyrics with beautiful lyrics and astonishing results. She can tell us her fear and she even lets her voice speak out through this terrifying notion of words, but we do not see it bad since it is just another song that we interpret by the singer. Through her lyrics I also notice that Aimee Mann can be very short on her voice and lets the lyrics of her music somehow identify herself.

I also decided to write about the lyrics of Aimee Mann. I would have to agree with you when you said that her lyrics sound as though there is fear in what she is speaking about. In looking at some of the lyrics of her songs, I noticed that they did deal with the topic of love, but those songs were not the happy and traditional tone that we many of us are familiar with. I came to notice that the songs dealt with the negative aspects that people experience in various relationships. I hadn’t looked at the particular lyrics that you chose to look at, but it is interesting how the songs that you decided to look at go along with and have a very similar tone to the songs that I chose to look at. I think it was a good point you made about her lyrics having a fearful tone to them. Like I said earlier, I agree with you in that I see that same thing, but I really didn’t notice that particular tone when I was reading her lyrics, until you had mentioned it. I guess I saw her lyrics as more as some sort of warning that she was giving.
