Looks like they have dubbed the studio recording over a live performance for the video of the song. Aimee's voice is multi-tracked in parts, and the drummer probably has the metronomed tempo in his headphones to ensure it's synched.
how many exquisite nights did I have with women that mirror this song? Many, that's why I'm single with a life full of amazing memories. Thank you to all those women.
driving up around ottawa, snow all around....till teus in the tape deck with this song playing. felt the oneness/aloneness of the place. by myself....gosh, this song sent chills up my spine. been a fan ever since. rock on aimmee......
Aimee's actually a bass player she also went to school with my older brother and used to battle with my ex wife Lisa who ran the upstairs bar at the rattskeller in Kenmore sq in Boston
Why the mindless strumming on the guitar and the nonexistent fret work your talent is singing. No one takes you more seriously because you have a guitar in your hands, Aimee is an amazing singer she does not need that prop. A lot of female singers think they need to have an instrument in their hands to be taken seriously I disagree, but thats just my opinion.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@panzerstrom She's playing the rhythm guitar chords for this song. She also plays bass in other songs. It's not a useless prop. If she doesn't play.... then the band has to hire an extra musician. She wrote the friggin' song with accoustic guitar backing. She often sings it live alone now with just accoustic guitar. Give her a break. That's just my opinion.
One of those lesser known songs from the 80s that deserved to be a bigger hit.I saw this group when they were first starting out in Columbus, Ohio. They were so good!
LOVED Cocteau Twins!! How about The Sundays?? Martha and the Muffins?? all excellent extremely talented artists who DID NOT sell out...Aimee was probably THEE most well known and commercial of these...LOVE HER!!!
@fotoguy75 Given that you like the Cocteau Twins and The Sundays and Til Tuesday/Aimee Mann, I MUST give a listen to Martha and the Muffins.
I stopped listening to "new" music when it turned to merde about the mid-80s. So I missed a lot of good stuff. And also mountains of poo... Now I'm playing catch up and enjoying the good stuff.
i dont know about you but she has one of the best voices in music history the last verse when she hits those notes makes the hair on my arms stand up wow
1983 - I had a small crush on this cute punk girl with spiky bleached hair a purple braid who worked at Newbury Comics. Saw her weekly when I went in to pick up comics or look for new XTC imports. Imagine my surprise to see her step out on stage at the Metro at the BCN R&R Rumble. The power of her voice was just stunning. I'd gone to see my friend's band (The Phantoms, from Allston) but wasn't the least bit surprised when 'Til Tuesday won that night. I've always had a fondness for Aimee...
I've played in female fronted bands all my life for some reason... (At this time, it was in Rhode Island) It just seemd to work out that way... I always loved covering this song AND voices carry... Always loved Aimee Mann... There was a much richer pool of artists then... Wonder what she's doing today...?
This song always brings me to tears and chills, missing the days and friends gone bye.And a real need to get back up to visit my old town in Rhode Island.
In today's world of ITunes and MP3s I would never have bought this album and discovered a great song like this. Today we only hear what the industry wants to promote. Finding gems like this is so much harder now.
"Welcome Home" was their best album! " Voices carry", hated the song, liked the rest of the album. Their Sophmore album was so more mature, great rock and folk songs,
Reminds of a true love I thought would last forever but only lasted a year, broke my heart forever. Heres to loving a girl that sadly just doesnt have the ability to love anyone. Shame what fatherly child sex abuse can do to girls soul. Take care of our baby girl. We really could have conqured the world.
This is such a beautiful and soulful song ... Sometimes, I lay awake at night thinking about things that might have been in life ... I guess we all feel that way about life.
I love this song! I've always felt that if Amy and her band woukld have been a little less 80's New Wave in their style and presentation and a little more earthy she would have been a force of great music much longer. Thank You for for posting one of my favorite songs!
Wow, they sound live just as good as they sound in their music videos and they sing without a backtrack. That's pretty impressive. You won't find a lot of bands like that today.
Amy Mann, what a talent! As good today as 25 years ago! My son is a musician and really likes many many bands and artists from this time period.Exposed to all this back in the day when MTV did music, and HV1. Expose as many as possible to this quality music!
I heard this tonight at Chili's on a good stereo, copied down the lyrics to google them and find on youtube. UNbelievable big sound they had, and the vocals !!! I honestly thought this was a brand new song and would be a best seller. Hope she is doing well and considers a comeback.
Definitely the best Til' Tuesday song ever....what beauty and utter magic this song has to offer! I remember as a kid in the 80"s feeling disappointed this didn't hit the top 40 (peaked in the 60's if I recall right) but time has done huge favors for "Coming up close" and now most smart people know that hit or no hit,this is a timeless melody and a lovely performance from Aimee in particular...
@Anthony420542 I agree, one of the best songs of the80s not to hit the top 40. If you think about it there were a lot of great songs back then that were not big hits. Loved Amie's hair.
i have loved this song since the beginning which was in the mid 80's. i never understood why it was not heavily promoted. She must have pissed someone off, by making meaningful songs instead of airy pop songs. Damn you Aimee for being so intelligent!
@whimsicalocean Oh come on your comment is dumb, there was no conspiracy, just tons of bands... have you ever heard Cocteau Twins?, no very famous but still amazing band.
All I ever knew of Aimee was Voices Carry growing up in the 80's, but she has some incredible music! Til Tuesday or her solo stuff is just truly amazing!
it takes all i have in me to not break down and cry at this achingly poignant song. the talent it took to write this with such perfect words to convey the emotions in this song we've all experienced is just a gift. everyone please enjoy this masterpiece.
Saw them live in Boston before they made it big, and lived in same neighborhood as Aimee Mann. She was hot, and their music was great. This was one of many great songs, but a favorite of mine.
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 ...!!!
@seagoat13 I woke with this song in my head a few days ago. I haven't heard it for maybe 15 years. Serious memories. I looked it up on youtube and saw your message. I feel much the same. I pray you find some resolution to the dreams you've maybe abandoned. I've only just recently started to see a bit of light after years of darkness and regret myself, and I thank you for sharing.
This band was SO underrated. I remember moving to SoCal from Boston (til Tuesday's starting place) in the late 80's and playing this music. No one had heard of them and they, too, loved this awesome sound. This sound will resonate for decades....
Ratters and Apathetic...you guys are so right. I love this song. It's possibly my favorite song of all time. Certainly in my top 10 best songs ever. The generation today just listen to all rehashed and re-stuidio'd mixed crap that all sounds the same. It's all so deriviative without any real form or substance. What kills me is when one young teen thinks "Avenged Seven-Fold" or "Lady Throw-up" is origninal and it's not. Til Tuesday was and is and always will be so incredible and timeless.
I was in my twenties during the 80's and loved that music and the whole 80's scnene. However, it was'nt until recently I became aware of Till Tuesday , Amy Mann and this specatcular song.
Oh wow.. she's the one that sings this song? Was this covered in the last 10-15 years or is this song that old? She sounds like Martha Davis from The Motels. I remember the band Til Tuesday and I might even have a song of theirs because I confuse them with The Motels but I looked her up tonight because of the backup she did for Rush and she looks to be wearing the exact same getup and hair style/makeup in this video as that one. You forget a lot of stuff in 25 years I guess. Or I do
She maybe the most talented woman in music - listen to the lyrics, listen to the tunes! Maybe her and Carol King are the two best!! I love this song and most of Aimee's other tunes!
this is such a sad and haunting song..a song of hope and loss...Aimee is beautiful with an angels voice...She makes these co called women singers nowdays sound like crap...so much talent, so many great songs, to be so under rated.
It says a LOT about the US music industry..Keep up the good work Aimee, a lot of people love your talent.
@xepobnha66 Isn't it though? "We drove up to a pump house that had long since been deserted, and carved our hearts into the wood . . . " Reminds me of being young again - which will never happen. Reminds me of driving thousands of miles from New York to Utah, but that in Kansas, or maybe Iowa, I was halted by the quiet solitude of the highway west. I stopped at a pump house near the road - the day was cloudy, and I walked about an abandoned farm. Hearts were carved into the neglected wood.
if she were born a man, you think her level of fame would have altered? Regardless, it's a shame her and the great band she was in didn't get the credit they deserved when they were producing such fabulous music.
One of my all time favorite songs. I'm glad there's a fan-base out there for Aimee Mann and the Til Tuesday music. I have a playlist on my iPod of her stuff just for working out. I must look funny on the treadmill at around 29 minutes with my face all contorting: "Don't you know that I could make a dream that's half alive come true?" Her lyrics are absolutely amazing.
I love this song..... I may have felt like home was no longer the "home" I longed to be at...but I am certainly willing to look at the possibilities that home can become "home" again... :D)))
Oddly enough it comforts me that this song didn't get much fanfare. It's like an intimate secret shared with a lover. Just between the two of you and the Moon. On the rare occasion I do hear this song on the radio it brings me right back to a particular time and place in my life. The immaculate bitter-sweet lyrics and beautifully arrangement invoking feeling we all can identify with. Everything about this song is so tangible, Just a perfect song.
Some of my favorite songs of all time are not mega hits. But is that such a bad thing? So what if the masses haven't heard this great music. It is our little corner of the world that is lucky enough to have it for ourselves. Enjoy.
it's ok that she hasn't gotten the accolades; she's gotten the proper appreciation of those able to hear her. why would she want a horde of morons thinking they could perceive depths they were incapable of penetrating. at least i don't think she would. we always fictionalize our idols. or is it idolize our fictions? i saw her play this song live in a small club many years ago. it was lovely.
@apatheticempathy: Listen, there is still great music out there today. Stop being such a geezer! LOL. I'm forty-three and I like plenty of recent music. Besides, Aimee Mann is still around, writing and performing great songs. To find good music you have to dig a little deeper through the steaming piles of sh*t that is "commercial". I remember when this album came out. It tanked, which is a damn shame because it's awesome. But it didn't have "hit" potential.
@apatheticempathy I couldn't agree more. I'm currently getting divorced from a cheating wife. Can't get the kids because of the traveling I do for my job. I had my whole life ahead of me when this song came out. God..how things change. But I'm still a big part of their lives so that's a good thing. I'll take the positives when I can.
@apatheticempathy I could not agree with you more, born in 1960, I enjoyed the late 60s though the 80s. Great music, my kids listen to Rap that makes me sick. I ask my son, listen to the words it is sick. he is 18 , he does love the Bee Gee's. I have had Cancer, and other health issues. I did not know how well I had it looking back, but I have memoies I would not take anything for, music,friends, I still in contact with after knowing each other for 47 years. I am blessed to listen and go back.
love this song! it's hilarious that when they show the backs of the audience's head, everyone has big hair, probably female and male. Aimee has some of the most brittle/fried hair of the 80s, still love her though :)
One of my favorite non-hit songs of the 80s. Loved Amie's hair back then. I'm glad her career survived the 80s, even though I think her solo music has been a bit uneven. Till Tuesday was a great band that should have been around to at least the end of the decade.
Give her solo stuff a good solid chance. It took me several "listens" to really appreciate it because it is just not very complicated lyrically or musically to me. But I'm totally hooked. She's amazing in Til' Tues. and amazing on her own. :)
I'd sell my soul for a chance to go back to the 80's. Everything was better then. The music of the 80's was, at it's worst better than 99% of the crap being made today. This song is better than every song that's been released in the last 20 years. I had such a thing for Aimee too.
dreamwolf - "You Know the Rest" Awesome song along with "Sleep"!! Aimee Mann and Til Tuesday are in my top five favorite bands! What great tunes! Talent like this just doesn't carry these days and wasn't marketed then - but there are plenty of us out there that know great talent when we hear it...and this is it - I get chills everytime i hear her voice!
yes there are many of us aimee mann fans out here....but what people seem to miss,is how awesome of a songwriter she really is,its too bad the record industry ruined them,they never gave them a chance,but at least you people out here can see through all the muck,.....listen to her other song YOU KNOW THE REST it will make you cry....very emotional,long live the 80s.
my older sister was a fantatic and still is of aimee mann... what a talent. this song should have been a giant hit...thank goodness for youtube

This band was SO underrated. I remember moving to SoCal from Boston (til Tuesday's starting place) in the late 80's and playing this music. No one had heard of them and they, too, loved this awesome sound. This sound will resonate for decades....

Ratters and Apathetic...you guys are so right. I love this song. It's possibly my favorite song of all time. Certainly in my top 10 best songs ever. The generation today just listen to all rehashed and re-stuidio'd mixed crap that all sounds the same. It's all so deriviative without any real form or substance. What kills me is when one young teen thinks "Avenged Seven-Fold" or "Lady Throw-up" is origninal and it's not. Til Tuesday was and is and always will be so incredible and timeless.

Oh wow.. she's the one that sings this song? Was this covered in the last 10-15 years or is this song that old? She sounds like Martha Davis from The Motels. I remember the band Til Tuesday and I might even have a song of theirs because I confuse them with The Motels but I looked her up tonight because of the backup she did for Rush and she looks to be wearing the exact same getup and hair style/makeup in this video as that one. You forget a lot of stuff in 25 years I guess. Or I do

She maybe the most talented woman in music - listen to the lyrics, listen to the tunes! Maybe her and Carol King are the two best!! I love this song and most of Aimee's other tunes!

this is such a sad and haunting song..a song of hope and loss...Aimee is beautiful with an angels voice...She makes these co called women singers nowdays sound like crap...so much talent, so many great songs, to be so under rated.
It says a LOT about the US music industry..Keep up the good work Aimee, a lot of people love your talent.

@xepobnha66 Isn't it though? "We drove up to a pump house that had long since been deserted, and carved our hearts into the wood . . . " Reminds me of being young again - which will never happen. Reminds me of driving thousands of miles from New York to Utah, but that in Kansas, or maybe Iowa, I was halted by the quiet solitude of the highway west. I stopped at a pump house near the road - the day was cloudy, and I walked about an abandoned farm. Hearts were carved into the neglected wood.

if she were born a man, you think her level of fame would have altered? Regardless, it's a shame her and the great band she was in didn't get the credit they deserved when they were producing such fabulous music.

One of my all time favorite songs. I'm glad there's a fan-base out there for Aimee Mann and the Til Tuesday music. I have a playlist on my iPod of her stuff just for working out. I must look funny on the treadmill at around 29 minutes with my face all contorting: "Don't you know that I could make a dream that's half alive come true?" Her lyrics are absolutely amazing.

Oddly enough it comforts me that this song didn't get much fanfare. It's like an intimate secret shared with a lover. Just between the two of you and the Moon. On the rare occasion I do hear this song on the radio it brings me right back to a particular time and place in my life. The immaculate bitter-sweet lyrics and beautifully arrangement invoking feeling we all can identify with. Everything about this song is so tangible, Just a perfect song.

Some of my favorite songs of all time are not mega hits. But is that such a bad thing? So what if the masses haven't heard this great music. It is our little corner of the world that is lucky enough to have it for ourselves. Enjoy.

it's ok that she hasn't gotten the accolades; she's gotten the proper appreciation of those able to hear her. why would she want a horde of morons thinking they could perceive depths they were incapable of penetrating. at least i don't think she would. we always fictionalize our idols. or is it idolize our fictions? i saw her play this song live in a small club many years ago. it was lovely.

Sad thing is, poor kids of today will never know quality music like this ...
really so sad ..... As I age I have very few things that health and diabettes isnt taking away from me.
Adleast I have the quality music to take me back to a better time, when all was new and the world hadnt crushed all my hopes and dreams ...
What a voice and a time. Lucky I lived it !

@apatheticempathy: Listen, there is still great music out there today. Stop being such a geezer! LOL. I'm forty-three and I like plenty of recent music. Besides, Aimee Mann is still around, writing and performing great songs. To find good music you have to dig a little deeper through the steaming piles of sh*t that is "commercial". I remember when this album came out. It tanked, which is a damn shame because it's awesome. But it didn't have "hit" potential.

@apatheticempathy I couldn't agree more. I'm currently getting divorced from a cheating wife. Can't get the kids because of the traveling I do for my job. I had my whole life ahead of me when this song came out. God..how things change. But I'm still a big part of their lives so that's a good thing. I'll take the positives when I can.

@apatheticempathy I could not agree with you more, born in 1960, I enjoyed the late 60s though the 80s. Great music, my kids listen to Rap that makes me sick. I ask my son, listen to the words it is sick. he is 18 , he does love the Bee Gee's. I have had Cancer, and other health issues. I did not know how well I had it looking back, but I have memoies I would not take anything for, music,friends, I still in contact with after knowing each other for 47 years. I am blessed to listen and go back.

love this song! it's hilarious that when they show the backs of the audience's head, everyone has big hair, probably female and male. Aimee has some of the most brittle/fried hair of the 80s, still love her though :)

One of my favorite non-hit songs of the 80s. Loved Amie's hair back then. I'm glad her career survived the 80s, even though I think her solo music has been a bit uneven. Till Tuesday was a great band that should have been around to at least the end of the decade.

@humboldtus
Give her solo stuff a good solid chance. It took me several "listens" to really appreciate it because it is just not very complicated lyrically or musically to me. But I'm totally hooked. She's amazing in Til' Tues. and amazing on her own. :)

I'd sell my soul for a chance to go back to the 80's. Everything was better then. The music of the 80's was, at it's worst better than 99% of the crap being made today. This song is better than every song that's been released in the last 20 years. I had such a thing for Aimee too.

dreamwolf - "You Know the Rest" Awesome song along with "Sleep"!! Aimee Mann and Til Tuesday are in my top five favorite bands! What great tunes! Talent like this just doesn't carry these days and wasn't marketed then - but there are plenty of us out there that know great talent when we hear it...and this is it - I get chills everytime i hear her voice!
