It's Not 
Aimee Mann 

I keep going round and round on the same old circuit 
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot 
Where something I can't see interrupts the current 
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot 
And from behind the screen it can look so perfect 
But it's not 
So here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stoplight 
I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what 
So red turns into green turning into yellow 
But I'm just frozen here on the same old spot 
And all I have to do is to press the pedal 
But I'm not 
No, I'm not 
People are tricky, you can't afford to show 
Anything risky anything they don't know 
The moment you try, you kiss it goodbye 
So baby kiss me like a drug like a respirator 
And let me fall into the dream of the astronaut 
Where I get lost in space that goes on forever 
And you make all the rest just an afterthought 
And I believe it's you who could make it better 
But it's not 
No, it's not 
No, it's not 

80년대 중반 전설적인 뉴 웨이브 그룹 'Til Tuesday'를 결성하며 
팝씬에 뛰어든 이래 폴 토마스 엔더슨이 감독한 '메그놀리아'의 
사운드 트랙을 담당하여 평단의 극찬을 받았던 
싱어송 라이터 에이미 만의 신작 앨범으로 
이제는 불혹의 접어든 그녀가 겪고 있는 중년 여성의 고뇌와 
그로 인해 보다 진지해진 내적 성찰이 가득찬 노랫말과 정제되고 
일체의 과장이나 장식을 배제한 고품스러운 뉘앙스가 가득찬 
완성도 높은 사운드를 들려준다.
