You look like A perfect fit For a girl in need Of a tourniquet

Artist- Aimee Mann
Song of the day- Save Me

One of my sister's all time favs became mine as well after seeing P.T. Anderson's film Magnolia. And if you have 3 hours to spare in your life I think it is possible you might hate the film but will fall in love with this songwriter who Anderson uses brilliantly throughout this film about the relationships of victims and villains, with an uncanny ability to humanize both. Though I still don't understand the raining frogs aspect, the acting alone still makes this film one of my favs. Mann received an Oscar nomination for this song and after hearing it, I've loved everything she's ever done before and since and can't wait to see her again tonight for what I think is my 5th or 6th time...though my sis is still beating me. This song in particular mixes that unspoken desperation I think we all look for in any kind of relationship. To not just be loved but saved from ourselves, from loneliness, from those who'd rather judge than get to know us. And in the context of the film I think it's interesting that this concept doesn't exclude anyone, not even the cruelest of people, the drug addicts, those with a past, that a** hole on tv, even Tom Cruise, we all are looking for someone or something to save us. If you're on the hunt today know you aren't alone, we were all meant to be saved.

You look like
A perfect fit
For a girl in need
Of a tourniquet

But can you, save me
Come on and, save me
If you could, save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

'Cause I can tell
You know what it's like
The long farewell
Of the hunger strike

But can you, save me
Come on and, save me
If you could, save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

You struck me down
Like Radium
Like Peter Pan or Superman

You will come to save me
C'mon and save me
If you could, save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
'Cept the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
But the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone


C'mon and save me
Why don't you save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
'Cept the freaks
Except the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
Except the freaks who could never love anyone
