about

I made a list of 100 song titles last week and this was #87. I decided to write a tribute song to Aimee Mann, in what I think of as her songwriting style. The only thing is, she's in some ways one of the greatest singers you are ever going to hear, so its sort asking a lot for it to actually sound like an Aimee Mann song but in terms of the songwriting style, it feels pretty right on--at least to my ear.

Aimee
Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
2014 Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP
1/12/14

Left you alone
when your mother was gone
and your father's too busy to know
all the little lights
blue and steady tonight
on the runway below

Forging the way
all through the day
with no one to check in what you think
moods change like a weathervane
there's a cold front now
coming from the north

And it all feels like a dream
I hardly believed but
everything is new
today

Left your home
set out on your own
searching for a special place
that drew you like a fairytale
that you hoped one day to prove was real

Maybe you find
that some of the time
the only winning is to know how to lose
Don't know if I've ever been
more ready than I am now
to give it all away

'cause it all feels like a dream
I hardly believed but
everything is new
today

In the darkness we descend
where the city lights end
and the engines start to sound
I know somewhere you're out there
but I'm not sure
if what might be will come around

Now it all feels like a dream
I've come to believe
that everything is new--
today
