She sang it well but this version suffers from the old "speed up the tempo cos its live" issue. This is one song that demands a SLOW tempo for full effect.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I love how people think every professional singer sings their own material. What are you, some hipster who sits in their room all day writing crap that no one will ever sing but you and feeling all superior about it? Eh, go back to your job at the coffee bar and shuddup.
Yes, it's a cover...but it's LIVE, and she did it because she likes the song...she's AIMEE MANN... she's got plenty of great songs, that she wrote. Plus, she brings something of herself to the song...
"Its good, but in the end covers are still just covers." << rubbish. good covers have the power to render the original completely irrelevant. like this one, matter of fact.
@MrHarrytubing Totally ! This is what I say everytime I hear a Coldplay cover ! I'm like " Can't you just leave them alone , their song are so great the way they are " and people are like " Common' be tolerant ! " . But I just can't ! ^^
if you comparing "making such beautiful words out of nothing then to be that creative to make this beautiful rhythm and play that music" with someone take the words, play the same music and did little change .... !!!!
so I don't think this is true to even be compared :)
being creative is not like being repetitive... that's why I always say we can't compare the ones who create it with the others :)
you can't call the original dull! If it's dull, then why is she covering it? Wouldn't she want to sing songs that she liked?? There's a difference between creating something and replicating something; the latter is far easier.
@jaw827xx I get what you mean. The original songwriter has an upper hand when it comes to heartfelt. But sometimes I enjoy the different arrangements of cover artists- they can change the feeling of a song with a slower arrangement, different instruments, etc. but in this case, the arrangement is about the same. I like hearing her version because she sings more clearly than martin lol
@jaw827xx I really like this comment! Covers are good, bad, indifferent etc. Who cares! It's all flattery at the end of the day; but the Aimee Mann version s not fantastic....
@jaw827xx - Maybe true in this case, but there are many covers that are undoubtedly improvements on the originals and I could name more than a few covers that I'd consider to be some of my favorite songs of all time.
@jaw827xx Without covers there would be no "Respect" from Aretha, no "All Along the Watchtower" from Jimi Hendrix, "Hurt" from Johnny Cash, "Hallelujah" from Jeff Buckley, "Louie Louie" from the Kingsmen, "Take me to the River" from the Talking Heads, "My Favorite Things" from Coltrane, "Little Wing" from Stevie Ray Vaughn, "I will Always Love You" from Whitney Houston, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love & Understanding” from Elvis Costello...on and on ad nauseum.
Love this lady. But I agree with gothicgrace All Angels have done the only other version that I can listen to repeatedly and get the same touchingly deep emotional reaction.

I fucking detest coldplay. they are a whiny bunch of English cunts who have every fucking thing a person could possibly want in life and yet, Chris (cunt) Martin still finds something to fucking bitch about. If only these fuckers had a sense of what it is to live from hand to fucking mouth.
