Aimee, the Opposite of a Man

After listening to some of Aimee Mann's songs, and NOT looking at her lyrics, I got a very depressing feeling. It didn't seem as though she wants to write in an uplifting tone. I might be wrong for I only listened to two songs, and I read the lyrics of one. I listened to, "save me," and "wise up." I then read the lyrics of the song called, "angels never call." The initial tones are very pessimistic. She says a lot of, "it's not gonna stop," in her, "wise up," song. Just the title of her song, "angels never call," gives me an off kind of feeling. She says in the song that angels never help, because they always fall. I don't understand where this is coming from. It seems she has a common theme of talking about certain people's depressing situations. Now, I know that I am being very quick to generalizing how she writes, but this is the immediate feeling I get from listening and reading her lyrics. I also read, "backfire." This particular song actually begins with a pretty happy tone to it. Although, it ends up talking about how she became unhinged and her situation became weird.
I also took a glance at the titles of a lot of her other songs, and what I found didn't surprise me. I found such songs as, Deathly, David Denies, Calling it Quits, and Don't Watch Me Bleed. Just off an educated guess, I do believe that these songs aren't about happy people doing happy things. She has a certain sad tone to the way she writes, and to what she talks about.
I entitled this blog, Aimmee, the Opposite of a Mann, because her lyrics seem to be very emotional. I believe that what society says about women, which is that they tend to be more on the emotional side, then tough, is my basis to this title. She writes with very sad emotions, which wouldn't be found most of the time in male lyric writing.
I believe Aimee Mann to be a sort of modern day blues writer/singer. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. This is just her style. I particularly didn't like her music or lyrics. I am more of an optimistic kind of person. I like to listen to songs that bring me up and keep my mind off of the bad in life. I don't want my focus to be on those certain things that will bring me down, or keep me from doing what I want to do in life. I also believe that life is a horrible, excuse me, bitch, that we all need to tame, and fight with equal or greater values. This kind of music would put my focus on the wrong things, and I currently don't need this. I don't believe that most people need this, but that is just me.
