This song always plays in the grocery store where I work and I never knew what song this was until I looked up the chorus. Now that I'm hearing it in full it sounds great!
Her voice/songs bring me back to my childhood & I still love her songs as much as I did when I was a toddler. I went with my mom to work every morning & almost every single morning she would play Aimee Mann’s whole album
That’s always the best feeling. When I was little we’d go to church a ton. Some of my best memories are ridding in the car and listening to the radio play 😄
Love love, love it. I never thought I would hear this under rated gem in public. It was playing in the bank. I just had to do the dance... I was escorted out. I swear that guy is 'Being John Malkovich'.
The new album is remarkable. Aimee, for a brilliant songwriter with some gorgeous albums, you've somehow made your best album so far. Just keep writing - and use that band. Your drummer is insanely good. And whoever produced this record is my new GOD. :-)
My wife and I were sitting at a hotel bar in Portland this weekend when I heard this song for the first time playing in the background above the din of the Saturday football games on the big screens. I recognized it as Aimee immediately. I love Her music. What a talented artist and songwriter.
I remember hearing this on the bus rides growing up, just walked in cvs and totally forgot about how great this gem was along with Aimee. So refreshing. Man I miss my childhood
I've learned to never judge a song until I've heard it 5 times. I was lukewarm on Freeway too, but it has really grown on me. The simplicity, repetition, and the chunky guitar/bass riff are infectious. Right up there with my favorite AM songs!
Thank you Aimee. Had the pleasure of seeing you in Austin and requested 1.0 is the Loneliest, and you sang it. Thanks for Everything you have shared, painful and with courage.
Saw her do this while she was celebrating her birthday, playing on stage in her hometown. Her band just rocked the live tour of this album that night. Very special concert! Complete with vintage Hammond B3 organ with Leslie speaker!
I liked it so much! Here in Brazil people should hear this song..."You´ve got a lot of money but can´t afford a Freeway"...special ! I´m thinking about playing "Freeway" on my guitar, thanks Aimee for this videoclip !
I've been stocking/stalking Aimee for 30 years, 4 TilTuesday, 7 solo/live CDs, HouseOfBluesConcertDallas concert, and a 30x24 poster in my apartment. Shes always been a favorite artist of mine along with RosanneCash PattyLoveless among 600 other CDs.
Saw her last week in Northampton, MA during her X-Mass show tour w Grant Lee Phillips, et. al. Great tunes, great sound, great talent. It was good to see such artists still creating fresh work today (Aimee played Freeway at the gig). I remember seeing Till Tuesday and Grant Lee Buffalo back in the day. Till Tuesday: timeless songs wrapped in 80's pop. GLB: opened for Paul Westerberg and blew me away with their intensity. I'd never heard of them before then.
Great song, a great example of the perfect songcraft of the writer. Once the 70's synths hit, I was hooked! I also love about 2:15 how she is suddenly aware of the silliness that is occurring behind her and joins in!
GREAT SONG AIMEE! I've seen her twice in concert including here Christmas special. She's a rare artist who not only gets better looking with age, I think every album has been better than the last. Her voice is better now than when she was in Til Tuesday. Fantastic.
Most people I know have no idea who you are Aimee and thats a shame because your music is amazing. Other female artist sell not so good music with the illusion of sex but you sell great song writing, great singing, great music, and great recordings with great musicians to assist you and while you are a beautiful woman people buy Micheal Penn's wife's recordings and attend her concerts because the appreciate good music not because she deliberately tries to make you think of sex. Aimee you have created so much good music over the years im just now finding out about next time you play at Detroit's Royal Oak Music theater it wont be on the same night my band is playing at Detriot's Cafe' D'mongo's because I would love to see you perform LIVE finally keep up the great work and continue to ROCK ....Carl
Other artists don't try to make you deliberately think of sex!???? that's YOUR choice AND RESPONSIBILITY dont blame women for your sexual feelings (.that's related to victim blaming too . )
Awesome song....sorry it took me so long to find it. Definitely hitting on that Pretenders / Chrissie Hynde sound with the 70's-80's-esque melodic musings, but in the best possible way. You've got a lovely, detailed and sultry voice there! Sweet!
I just heard this for the first time sitting in McDonalds! Awesome song! I remember seeing 'til Tuesday in concert in Agawam MA back in 1987! Aimee is such a great songwriter.
There is one thing about aimee mann her songs are either really really GOOD or really strange and weird.. this one is reallly good!! Along with Save me. Red vines. These songz really touch me..
Hi Aimee-- I'm friends with Steve... I just want to tell you that your two voices are SO beautiful together on NO MORE AMSTERDAM. Nicely done. I hope you and Steve work together again soon! I also enjoy FREEWAY...you write beautiful melodies and interesting lyrics. I STILL remember the lyrics to COMING UP CLOSE and VOICES CARRY! You're the consummate story teller...and, still as cool looking as ever. Take care. Donna Bhakti Brophy
From commercial pop music of the early 80's controlled by MTV and big record companies to this. A singer song writer. I'm impressed. I remember listening to her with Til Tuesday. It wasn't bad at all. But this 45 year old is impressed with her new stuff. This is what happens when you take control and say "F' the music industry.
I hitchhiked all over New England from Rhode Island to Gloucester Ma and believe me no one can afford the freeway. I had the truckers pick me up and wait for me so I could go on another highway. I smoked a lot and thank God never hurt. I love this song it makes me want to stick out my thumb all over again.
Love your voice, love your music and you pretty hot to look at! and no doubt judging by the antics happening behind you, you have a good sense of humor too!!
Totally agree with CROWMANHUNTER.Superb music,quality musicians(as always with Aimee)and a beautiful lady.Suzanne Vega is another in the same boat!....
Came for T-bob and I'm somewhat surprised that I liked the song. I may have to pick up this CD. Any other suggestions about similar music? (Polite phrased answers preferred :D)
I think most of you suffer from strokes. Song is very good, I like Aimee when she is melodic and pleasant. (with that little dark edge of course). Nice work! I will look for the contest videos as well.
Been a fan of Aimee since the good ol' days of "'Til Tuesday". This clearly is an effort at tapping the mainstream market by what I've seen as far as the marketing and promotion is concerned. Without compromising too much of classic Aimee, I certainly think she pulls this off convincingly. Personal faves off @#%&! SMILERS, Ballantines & COloumbus Avenue! Thanks for Great, Lasting and Meaningful music Aimee and Band. This certainly in a day and age sorely lacking substance! Fan in South AFrica!
I saw her on Jimmy Fallon yesterday ( Wednesday) and looked her up, crap was surprised to find out shes 48 lol. She was wearing a leather jacket and tie/vest, pretty cute
WoW about 12 Years late to the party. I enjoyed the Whatever tour in both La and Phx I hope this isn't rude but I don't get how you look more fabulous Now then in 93 R U 4 real?
I just started watching Portlandia and Aimee Mann came in and I was like, "wait... Aimee Mann... that name sounds awfully familiar" so I searched her name up on youtube and now here I am in nostalgia... :"D

I would shop there...they have good taste in music.
Yo same!
Lidl?
Welcome to the world of Aimee mann, please feel free to also enjoy the movie Magnolia in addition to these fantastic songs!
Yo same shit LOL... I'm literally at work right now listening to this song on their satellite while watching the video LOL
Aimee is amazing! I have all of her music and it never gets stale, ever.
🌈Ikr 😻 still writes , performs , acted on Portlandia + still looks dope 🧜🏼♀️🐈⬛️ my hero 💜💚🧚♂️
Stfu this music
Is dog shit
This song is sounding AWESOME in 2019! We love you Aimee!!!
Her voice/songs bring me back to my childhood & I still love her songs as much as I did when I was a toddler. I went with my mom to work every morning & almost every single morning she would play Aimee Mann’s whole album
My parents played countless albums of Aimee Mann during road trips. It brings so many memories back
@@torier9362 she is an angel
That’s always the best feeling. When I was little we’d go to church a ton. Some of my best memories are ridding in the car and listening to the radio play 😄
Loved this song 14 years ago and still love it today! Actually heard it the other day eating at Wendys!
Love love, love it. I never thought I would hear this under rated gem in public. It was playing in the bank. I just had to do the dance... I was escorted out. I swear that guy is 'Being John Malkovich'.
Her music makes me want to pick up my guitar and play it again ......thank you Aimee !
+ski bum Play it!! Never stop work'in hard.
; )
I started work on about an albums worth of tunes when I was binge drinking for a few months last year, might be the best time to play if you ask me.
It's having the same effect on me...reaching for my six-string now.... loooooove Aimee !!! ♥♥♥
I love playing this song - ~Too
The new album is remarkable. Aimee, for a brilliant songwriter with some gorgeous albums, you've somehow made your best album so far.
Just keep writing - and use that band. Your drummer is insanely good. And whoever produced this record is my new GOD. :-)
Amazing that your comment is still up from 13 years ago! WOW!!
I love this song. Never seen the video before. I love your music, Aimee
My wife and I were sitting at a hotel bar in Portland this weekend when I heard this song for the first time playing in the background above the din of the Saturday football games on the big screens. I recognized it as Aimee immediately. I love Her music. What a talented artist and songwriter.
Her songs always sound so fresh.She's just ahead of her time.💛
I remember hearing this on the bus rides growing up, just walked in cvs and totally forgot about how great this gem was along with Aimee.
So refreshing. Man I miss my childhood
Man, I freaking love this song, and I freaking love Aimee Mann
I've learned to never judge a song until I've heard it 5 times. I was lukewarm on Freeway too, but it has really grown on me. The simplicity, repetition, and the chunky guitar/bass riff are infectious. Right up there with my favorite AM songs!

saw her performing live in Buenos Aires last week... absolutely awesome, and lovely, and... fantastic song.
Aimee is one of the most inspiring people to me , love youuuuu and your incredible music !
I really love this song, Aimee! I've been a fan of yours since I bought your first album with 'Til Tuesday. You rock, pretty lady!
Eric
love the people dancing in the background!
Saw her do this while she was celebrating her birthday, playing on stage in her hometown. Her band just rocked the live tour of this album that night. Very special concert! Complete with vintage Hammond B3 organ with Leslie speaker!
Love it!
The guys dancing in the back remind me of "Donnie Darko" somehow, when Sparkle Motion is rehearsing, slow motion...
😆😆😆
i don't think there is another musician that has the presence of Aimee Mann.
Check out Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein.
And another thing, it's a crime she didn't have children, of her own birthing of course.
The more I think about it, the more I think she's a star seed. 👽
@@bonsummers2657 that’s a weird comment.
She is amazing. She makes me cry. Just looking at her. I mean. Really cry
I love this song. Such a great mix of sadness of pop.
Aimee Mann is incredible ❤
love Aimee could listen to this song all day
I liked it so much! Here in Brazil people should hear this song..."You´ve got a lot of money but can´t afford a Freeway"...special !

I had this on in the office today and someone told me to "turn that hippy shit down." So, naturally, I cranked this shit up.
I want the first two solo albums to be released on VINYL...Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredibly talented singer and songwriter. Aimee Mann is bae

One of her very best songs and that's amongst many great songs.
She is just an awesome singer and songwriter. Very strong voice and also sultry.
GOD i love her so much she's helped me get out of many dark places
swim found her when they searched for 'calling it quits' unironically... what a find!
This is the jam!! Amazing! It's the combination of the Pop instrumentation and your folk singers voice. Magic!
I love your style, the writing, music, person's for the camera... You're one of a kind :)
Great song, a great example of the perfect songcraft of the writer. Once the 70's synths hit, I was hooked! I also love about 2:15 how she is suddenly aware of the silliness that is occurring behind her and joins in!

How could such an amazing voice come from a human being?
this is a badass album god damn
Tous vos albums sont Géniaux ! Love from France !
This is the kind of celebrity the world needs. Plain, and yet still beautiful.
That being said, I like it. The song is nice. Very nice.
Have had '@#%&*! Smilers' for about a week now and can say it's absolutely great.
Hope Aimee comes back to London soon.
Awesome song....sorry it took me so long to find it. Definitely hitting on that Pretenders / Chrissie Hynde sound with the 70's-80's-esque melodic musings, but in the best possible way. You've got a lovely, detailed and sultry voice there! Sweet!
Great song. Been a fan for a long time. Hope she's doing it when she's 78! (or longer)
Probably my favorite song from Aimee. Love that Moog synth!
I love Aimee. I think she’s the best!
you are so beautiful. and your songs so big big meanings it is like music therapy for me
I have loved her music since the beginning of time!!!
Love her...Aimee you have helped me through this darkness
I'm always on those LA / OC freeways (405-22-91-5-101) and I'm Goin nowhere - love Aimee Mann
Wow, I just assumed this was an existential song about relationships. So much more appreciating this is about a city with poor infrastructure.
same here. i listened for the contest, gave up on the contest, and consequently now I can't get the song out of my head!
I just heard this for the first time sitting in McDonalds! Awesome song! I remember seeing 'til Tuesday in concert in Agawam MA back in 1987! Aimee is such a great songwriter.
Never tire of hearing this song
i love your voice, i saw your show in buenos aires and it was amazing...
There is one thing about aimee mann her songs are either really really GOOD or really strange and weird.. this one is reallly good!! Along with Save me. Red vines. These songz really touch me..
never heard of her.. but she has a nice voice.. pretty good music.. she's worth checking out.
Hi Aimee--

You've got a lot of money, but you can't afford--
My favorite thing about Aimee Mann is that she doesn't use autotune!!!
Aimee me encantan tus canciones,
Aimee i love your songs
saludos!!!desde Mexico City

Aimee Mann rocks- saw her in Milwaukee a couple weeks ago. Love the new songs on @#%&*!Smilers.

Best female artist out there!!
I never heard of this artist. But maybe because I never listen to country music.
Wrong
I could make a case for Lucinda Williams although Aimee is probably a better singer; love this song!
Just amazing every time!
certainement une des plus talentueuses chanteuses actuelles!
Great song , Great video. It gets stuck in your head like a loop.
Love the Wiltern show. Hope to see you perform again at the Hollywood Bowl. You are such a talent.Randy

Terrific song on so many levels. It should have been a bigger hit.
The road to Orange County leaves an awful lot of leeway. Use it.!!! Marvellous, mind-bending, ..., ...mine .Thank you very much Aimee!
wow my new most favorite song by her magjesty
I love this video... looks like how I play in my back garden on a typical saturday afternoon :)
Great performance in Amsterdam last monday! The song is great!
Love your voice, love your music and you pretty hot to look at! and no doubt judging by the antics happening behind you, you have a good sense of humor too!!

AWESOME! Great video for a great song:)
song makes me happy, I'm feeling it aimee!
idk why but this video always makes me feel happy

It's been 23 years since I've last liked an Aimee Mann song. Not an all time great, but a nice song. Good for her.
I like this music !
