Aimee Mann - Wise Up (live)

[funsmart]

It's about the effectiveness of voting for Obama...or any other politician for that matter.

[JKuprena]

Community haahaa

[AlecwarddrawcelA]

sthis sssong about suicide*?

[lsrivass]

cool!!!!



[teijatuulia]

I cry most of the times I listen to this song. Wise up - to take care for onself and the others? This is very important.

[Spelunkersplunkify]

I keep turning over a new leaf only to tear right through it. Yet, it's NOT going to stop, 'til I wise up. Yet, I never seem to learn or am able to stop doing what doesn't work. The very emotional responses I'd truly rather not keep having to that which life throws @ me keep ending up being what I put into practice. And practice in this regard NEVER makes perfect. If anything, it's a slippery slope leading to the deepest & most bottomless of pits anyone could fall into. Yet here I remain. Why?!

[hendrixexperiencedig]

magnolia ftw

[thefuzzgroove]

superbe version .. tres bon son

[schwartzonthegrid]

is that a full Windsor knot? nice work, Aimee!

[sonterra11]

Love

Roland Rose

[redfox0071]

What a great song!!

[BeauHappiHealz]

She means give up the shit we are doing that is bringing us down and that is making us miserable. She IS NOT!!telling us to end our lives or commitsuicide you Dumbwits!. We can be abused as a child or the world might have been freaking cruel to us but we still have choices and we can take charge of our lives instead of sinking in depression and jus live with it. She is telling usto turn things around. You either wake up and do something now or never do it..either ways Its Not Going To Stop.

[323232rob]

@BeauHappiHealz Thank you i cant count the amounts of comments ive read on this video over the months accusing aimee of telling people to end it all, atleast someone has a clue.

[GuitarType01]

@BeauHappiHealz True, but the last line screams to give up for the very same reason, it's not going to stop. Might as well give up. Either way, you're not going to win.

[faisalOrb1]

@BeauHappiHealz tl;dr

[russo10]

wow, what a guddle o' shite -she looks like she's been battered by the uglystick "over and over and over..."

[naturalobserver]

@russo10 Really?  You know she is about 47 years old when this video was released and frankly I don't agree that she is unattractive at all. How old are you???19?

[CDOM9]

Porrtugal!!

[BlackConverse1231]

my mom was tight with her in middle school :3

[chnlovefun]

@yyoU8s @waiting4smtin @meiraeduardo @SuperDavidhorne @BlackConverse1231 你會錯過 ;(

RIPAMYWINEHOUSE

中國希望你去 REHAB!!! *_*

[SuperDavidhorne]

The first time I heard this song, deep down inside I knew I would be haunted with suicidal feelings my entire life!!!

[4kuj1n]

love the way she sings the whole song with closed eyes.

[shirley1065]

A lesson and it talks to your inner being what this song is trying to rely!

[sassym]

This song is one of the greats...it haunts my dreams...so much of my life in these lyrics...Wise Up!

[yyoU8s]

Nice song

[waiting4smtin]

Can anybody tell me what album of hers has this song in it? Appreciate it

[lmenagh]

@waiting4smtin magnolia

[waiting4smtin]

@lmenagh So the album name is Magnolia and it was in the film Magnolia too? Incase u r saying Magnolia's soundtrack, I have tried 2 find that but couldn't.

[horst646]

When I heard this song along with the footage for beadonor.ca in Ontario, I rushed right over to the site and registered, it was that amazing. Something I always meant to do anyway. Love this song, great voice!

[PietraDr]

Musicaa perfeiita veey 

[udzhinable]

When i heard it first time in "Magnolia", i was really amazed.

But live version took me absolutely out!

Perfect

[41digger]

One of the best ever, I think it touches everyone that hears it, its so completely universal , it seem to include everyone i know in some way or other.....

[Jkfilms7]

She's recovered well from losing that toe.

[ComedyChappelle]

/watch?v=3fjbc8VuQXI

this videos great to cheer you up!

[KursaTime]

When I had depression, I denied it all the time. I was ashamed and scared to admit that I was never going to be what I want to be. At the end of it, I gave up and allowed myself to enter counseling. This song helped me out a lot :) Now I'm so happy!

[jamcrane3]

The amazing, profound truth of this song rocks me to the core. It's as though she is singing directly to several of my personal, not very well thought out mind tracks of recent years.

Damn she is good.

[LadyLuvsYou]

I love you Aimee!

[TheBarvix]

One of the most beatiful songs... and a nice voice!

[jamcrane3]

What a fantastic voice. Her vocal range is amazing.

[dryan22]

I love this song, but I always wished the final line was "So just give IT up." Giving up isn't a solution, giving up what you thought you wanted but isn't any more is more empowering. What a difference one word can make.

[bankerku00]

why dont you just shut up..save the positive thinking for church..just enjoy the damn song

[WillBraden]

@dryan22 Hopefully Aimee Mann will read this comment. Then she can finally end her own song correctly, yeah? "Give it up" and "Give up" aren't as different as you think, both grammatically and logically.

Love this song; I love Aimee Mann.

[youtuuubr4200]

its not going to stop, so just...give up

[betozabrockis1]

@youtuuubr4200 You can try... but, you can?

[Gleis68]

sorry I am from germyny

[Gleis68]

[msknighttime]

Could be stardom.....

[msknighttime]

I get chills......it applies to so many things.

"Its not what you thought" OMG!! a job, promotion, a relationship so many things apply.

[GrantMeSerenity1971]

Simply amazing

[bishop2726]

I really like this song. I heard this song from the drama series "Judging Amy."

[TomssonRodriguez]

que tema por dios..

[gucci13]

can some one explain me what is the meaning of this song...coz its our assignment...

i don't understand the final line which tells us to give up....

[323232rob]

@gucci13 basically if you're not willing to wise up you might aswell give up i could go into more detail but that should some it up make of it what you will

[msknighttime]

@gucci13

Really listen or read the words....... She isn't talking about 1 particular thing.

It can be an abused person, or someone wanted something so bad and now they have it and its not at all

what it seemed. You got to feel the words. Its powerful.

[tobbbo]

thin voice, others are much better

[whalestail1955]

unfortunately Aimee decided to battle the internet when it was giving rise to great young talent. Guess who won??

[ghillas16]

only 5 likes? What the hell..

[futsal1958]

It's not going to stop till you wise up...

[thomas790]

Years ago I was impressed. Now it is just the same drivel year after year for impressionable coeds.

[Lunarwill]

@thomas790 I think you are thinking of Tori Amos.

[WilburyVision]

@thomas790 You couldn't be more wrong.

[thomas790]

The usual drivel.

[ValentineRage]

Authenticity, simplicity, and almost no make-up. Suck it, Brittany.

[JosephDillon57]

True women of worth grow stronger and, like fine wine, gain such stature that even Bernini dared not try to capture one in Italy's polished stone.

[Takimaster00]

The song hit a heart string when i heard it on community while Jeff and Pierce were doing that ridiculous spanish presentation that had homosexual connotations and was highly critical of Israel.

[premiummeat]

first time i heard this song was on "magnolia" and i've listened ever since.

[molinima]

cela a quelque chose de mystique!aiméé porte bien son nom

[evelove1958]

Omgosh! I adore Aimee she has a voice of an angel!

Thank you Aimee for sharing your beautiful Music & talent with us all, Muah, Love you!

[spongebobelaine]

such a beautiful voice...

[auvenshine]

Amen Sister!

[Alequisandro]

Que voz gostosa.

[SecretTrollAccount1]

Love it how a 30 something chick is telling me to wise up. LULZ

[jwbrown1968]

@SecretTrollAccount1 She's 50. And she's not talking to you.

[spongebobelaine]

@jwbrown1968

really!? she's 50? wow

[romperroomrejects]

@jwbrown1968 Actually she was in her late 30's when she first recorded this song.

[zoitandera]

Is the type of music that does not get tired of hearing. Beautiful.

[Missaturnine]

hello!! This is the sound track of the movie "Magnolia", ¿How about they thought the film?

[marshalluswallace]

I need to wise up.

[elias01]

Esta cancion dice todo lo que uno siempre ha querido decirle a la persona que amas...

[superfrickensexy]

wow this song is absolutely beautiful and she has one of the most beautiful voices i have ever heard. beautiful lyrics, oh just beautiful all round. wow how many times did i say beautiful? well, that's how beautiful i think this song is neway.

[abastosmaia]

This song is so sad...

But I can't help laughing at it after watching Community.

[MrCancertropic]

@beachfrontal The very problem with America right now: its citizens claim enlightenment after watching a tiny little broadcast instead of reading history and also understanding that 1) the first report is always wrong and 2) both sides in this have done terrible things. It's never that simple, and to think so is insane.

[MrCancertropic]

@beachfrontal. Please read the history of the region, back to the Assyrians and Philistines, all the way through the migrationsx3 and the League of Arab nations, 7 days, Yom Kippur before claiming your eyes are fully open. And as far as "peaceful humanistic (humanitarian?) aid workers", yeah right. Once your eyes are open with the power of knowledge, you must still be careful what you choose to look at and how.

[ubuibiok]

@polgrim "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." ~ Desmond Tutu #GAZA aid #Flotilla #freedomflotilla

[beachfrontal]

@ubuibiok Hi thank you for sending the video yesterday re the flotilla,when you did that, I became involved in their plight,I have always been of the opinion that Palestinians were largely responsable for their plight,the attack by Israel has demonstrated who are the savages, the oppressors,responsable for the deaths of many peaceful humanistic aid workers the Israelies learnt much from the Nazis and they are the new nazis I see that now.my eyes have been opened fully

[Jai666666666]

It will, but according to Christ, it's going to take some rocks and a few million years of evolution..., no problemo!

[ubuibiok]

GAZA

[chapa143]

te toca este tema .... es para salir a caminar un dia con bruma, y una leve llovisna, perfecto.

[CharlotteKM]

This song makes me want to eat a hot bowl of dicks with aimee mann face

[marshalluswallace]

@CharlotteKM What the fuck?

[Liozeris]

@CharlotteKM -- but your'e just a turd.

[danieljohnfleet]

GIVE UP.

[janislovepeace]

I'm inlove

[rani4052]

awesome

[jijmetjebekje]

MOOI !!

[realityis24fps]

i've been smitten with this lady for too long already! mmmh...thanx for the post;)

[aimeemannfan2010]

I agree with checkoutlandra. You nailed it. Great performance and song. Thanks for posting.

[SpanishCM]

Linda canção!!!

[checkoutniandra]

some singer can do one special song very good. they are like born into the song. the song lives through them and the singer lives through the song. This is one example of that happening.

[emmerogers]

Wow! She's beautiful!

[meiraeduardo]

Got this message: " Vídeo bloqueado em alguns países (Video blocked in some countries)."

[historyris27]

where is the other vid?

[meiraeduardo]

@historyris27 Got this message: " Vídeo bloqueado em alguns países (Video blocked in some countries)."

[djprezence]

@meiraeduardo move out of your country..

[danieljohnfleet]

repentence has to begin somewhere..

[copperywirey]

Incredible and beautiful voice and singer!

[danieljohnfleet]

Really great vocal & lyric.Give up.Gave up.Never started.Just spin.

[breacat]

Wonder how long this will be up until those greedy bastards from WMG pull it down.

[sexybutterflybabe]

What is that you do that you don't feel people should be paid for their work?

[breacat]

It's not about compensation. Plenty of other artists and their recording companies let their songs play in exchange for running a short commercial. I have no problem with that, but this is the third time I've had to find this song because it keeps getting pulled down. On top of that some of the people had some really good videos to accompany the song. And one other thing. Most radio stations don't play this song so I have to get it from Youtube.

[TheOpiumDistrict]

I know. Do record companies do any damn research? Youtube is responsible for most of my record buys. You hear something, then come to youtube to check out some more, then go out and buy it, and tell others. I can see why record companies wouldn't want this.

[MaxDiecipezzi]

@TheOpiumDistrict Me too. I also buy most of my records after checking out stuff on YouTube.

If record companies didn't charge so much for CDs I might be tempted to buy stuff without hearing it first, but encourage their greed by buying stuff without checking it out first? Nah... no thank you.

[TheOpiumDistrict]

Yeah I used to do that too. But after having some $20 duds, I stopped. Especially now that it's so hard to find used cd shops to sell back some of the loss. Now I check youtube and Amazon samples before I buy anything. And without Youtube and Pandora radio, I'd probably only buy two records a year.

[JonhnyGrave108]

cuz 80% of the money u pay goes to record companies whic make millions a year mass producing and exploring musicians... and when a starting band needs suport they shut their doors and say there's no money.. yeh...

[silviamichelozzi]

grazie. sei una grande

[DanyBaron]

great

[VxMxPx]

it's an amazing song. :)

[Scarletapril]

FA-BU-LOUS!!

[VVMosshart]

this one reminds me of magnolia. she's great

[BanOxyCred]

keyboards tempo is faster than the original version but still be a great song.

thanx 4 post this jewel, new classic.

[hoxmer]

i saw Aimee live last Friday, she was great although she had a cold and was tired from travelling from L.A. to Buenos Aires and then Santiago

[stainwalk]

she went to buenos aires!!! crap

[juliefaye78]

am seeing aimee for the first time in about 3 weeks in Brisbane, Australia. SO EXCITED I will cry and cry and sing through it, sorry to anyone I annoy!!

[PhilCampMusic]

Oh shit... what a powerful song. oah..

[rurikvred]

Can someone tell me why Youtube removes the ability to "rate" a video? Why would this occur on this video? "Ratings Disabled"... heck, I'd give this video five stars.

Also, Why would "comments" be disabled on youtube? I've seen that on many vids too.

Anyway, Aimee Mann is the best female songwriter alive today. That's pretty much indisputable. I would put her on the level of Robert Smith (The Cure).

[Igloo53]

I think it's the uploader's decision.

[yamasakiasami]

Whoever puts up the video can decide to disable ratings and comments if they choose. Robert Smith is a douche.

[0waterhouse0]

Dude, I think there's just no competition. Imagine everyone rating five stars without a single one even rating four... I guess it's just to protect the other uploaders from becoming depressed. ;-)

[fistsandwich]

"time stand still" shes awesome with rush. . .

[tljack999]

Sigh: an exhalation of air, arising from tiredness or emotion. *sigh*

[LeaveOfAbsence]

@MrCloud68 - same here. I first heard this when I went to see Magnolia at the cinema. I remember the force of the song in context with the characters and their issues and that weird moment of catharsis as the frogs pelted the streets. I felt choked up inside. Tightening in my throat and tears fell freely. Whenever I hear the song or even play it at home on the piano I feel a deep connection with the song that I felt on first hearing it.

[MrCloud68]

first time i heard this was on the film magnolia.. she does the soundtrack.

listen to how am i different or red vines.

[Markfrog99a]

This song was also on the Jerry Maguire soundtrack.

[rssbroch]

woah! this is so weird. Check out this coincidence! I just watched the film Magnolia, which is amazing by the way I loved the soundtrack so I came here to listen to some of Aimee Mann's music, while reading the trivia for the film on IMDB. There are numerous references to frog's and clouds in the film, and look at your usernames! This kind of thing is a central theme of the film as well, coincidences and chance. My head is going to explode!

[TerielAtmano]

Maybe you guys should meet up.

[stralost]

She's incredible, i love the song!

[academiaarguello]

she has such a beautiful eyes, dont understand why she doesnt show them...

[samuels07]

Amazing! Incredible song!

[wmk54wmk54]

Simply Lovely Live!

[TheKillerYoda]

simply majestic! +++++

[TheOnlyWayHome]

I have yet to find the words that truly describe how this song makes me feel. Until I do, Bravo.

[junglebhoy1888]

good that

[axekat]

Fecking Brill!

[lukessummer]

I second that emotion!

[donkeygospel6]

"Prepare a list of what you need before you sign away the deed."

My favorite line of this beautiful song.

[jarden69]

Aimee Mann is the most UNDER-rated singer-songwriter around...she is BRILLIANT...this is how you write and perform songs folks.

[drugstoremarc]

Always better when it's live.

A truly beautiful song.

[forlornfoghorn]

This is such a bloody good album but I'm sure ye all know that.

[killertweety]

Thanks !!! Great song :)

[loquimarian07]

damn! so sad and yet real... made me cry more than once, think more than a million times...

i just love this song.

great live performance.

[vulcanonero72]

fortunatamente ho aperto gli occhi ...appena in tempo...very good song,,,,giu'

[921106]

i love the way they spell her name; Aimee. very odd

[tabithebat]

Aimee means "friend" in French, not that odd really.

[921106]

i thought Aimee means ''loved'' in french? i made a research in google

[folclorica]

i thought aimée meant "the loved one", but in the femine gender, so something like "the loved woman/girl", in french.

[bsochettto]

You're right. (french is my language)

[lightblooshorts]

aimer in french means "to love"

and amie means "friend (feminine)"

i have taken 9 years of french... lol

[kaa13]

folclorica is torally right.Aimée is a rather obsolete female first name, though...very well worn by this talented songmaker.

[jeannevdb]

beautiful song, thamks for sharing, Brunella, I will definitive go out to buy the dvd. Wonderful singer, she gives me goosebumps..

[bry2juk]

Nice song and she looks good in that shirt and tie!

[RedBullDaniel]

Incredible moving song

[ccwman21]

Groovy goosebumps.

[janesroad]

'It's not what you thought when you first began it.' Brilliant understatement that is o so painfully relevant for my life at the moment. Thank you so much for uploading,

[pltns69]

this sounds is perfect

[fretlessbass26]

i wish someone could upload a "full" version of the song "little bombs"... thats one of her very best.

[emptybluecows]

Such a beautiful song:) Thank you for uploading this onto youtube. Cheers mate!

[LEV1ATHYN]

Great live performance of an extremely well-written song.

[robbievangeenen]

This song always gives me goosebumps. Great!

[ofirharlev]

makes it seem easy...

[95defender]

What a voice! You wouldn't happen to be able to upload "Long Shot" from this show...it @#%&*! rocks!

[simonjacks1986]
