I just watched Aimees "christmas carol" (very funny by the way) and thought of this song. Glad its been posted, she has to be one of the best female song writers i've ever heard. The one thing that bothers me is how many (ignorant) people comment on how horrible her voice is. We live in a world where "great vocals" come from american idol radio. Aimee has always made me think of a female version of Bruce Springsteen she uses every bit of range nature gave her and conveys her thoughts perfectly

Today IS the 4th of July. Another (very hot) june has gone by. I can't beleive this is the last July of this decade....where has it all gone!?

But now here I am, and the world HAS gotten colder. :'-(

She is such a great song writer, her lyrics have so many different levels of meaning and possible interpretations. Unique. Moving. Timeless. Thank you Aimee :-)

[Broblem12]

Passionate and moving. I do enjoy her more with just her voice and guitar accompaniment. She is so intimate in the best sense of the word when she performs thusly. In my humble opinion...

[BagpussInFishnets]

A horrible voice ??? Are you kidding me ?

It is sweet, redskydc3, that you read to people with head injuries but you shouldn't take their opinions too seriously until they are better. And, if by "great vocals ", you refer to blinking wet ear pups picked for their passable talent & marketable inoffensiveness or the warblers who genuinely can wobble out a note for 60 seconds then these exponents of musical porridge need such gargantuan notes to pad out vacuous efforts that have nothing to say.

Just another beautiful song of Aimee Mann

[jwbrown1968]

Her performances generally have very little emotion or affect. Not a criticism; just the way she plays. But here, she's really seems to be feeling a lot playing this song. Very nice.

Today is the 4th of July, I had to hear this. Aimee Mann has more talent and class in her socks than Gaga will ever know. She also is almost old enough to be Gaga's grandmother, but certainly doesn't look it. Let's see how Gaga looks at 50, if she makes it that long.

Today's the 4th of July.. Another June has gone by..

[AhliAnggur]

I find Aimee more compelling without the band.

@redskydc3 i have only heard this song by her but i think she sings good, she trys hard and it doesnt come across as obnoxious like lady gaga's bad romance.

always loved this tune sad sad sad

"So that's today's memory lane With all the pathos and pain Another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless And they're always the same A verse, then a verse, and refrain"

Wow...
