She won a couple of Grammys in the 80s
because of her lyrics.
I had no use for New Wave in the early 80s...I was a SNOB, for which I repent but still the pickins were scarce.
Til Tuesday was a punk band pretending to be New Wave band...
...but Aimee was always the genius.
A little earlier in their history. She's going in a kinda
folk direction...the rest of the band kicks a$$, BTW.
Notice the country twang with the guitarist...single coil...coulda been a Tele...sounds great on backup vocals too...He's a Brit born in Boston...
But check out the lyrics! Pathos, romance, regret, disillusion overlayed by innocence.

I can see why you like her, I did too!
She's good. Never was a fan until I got older and more discerning.
She can write some romantic lyrics...and she's tall!
