"SAVE ME" AIMEE MANN (1999)

Sometimes the stars align where a brilliant film goes hand in hand with a brilliant soundtrack. That’s what happened with Magnolia, and Aimee Mann was the brainchild behind the music. “Save Me” captured the personas of those tortured souls we got to know in the film. The bass hovers uncomfortably high. And some of Mann’s notes linger uncomfortably long. those are the things that I love most about the song.”

“If you could save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they could never love anyone.”
