The soundtrack mostly contains music from the acclaimed singer/songwriter Aimee Mann, but it also features tracks from Gabrielle, Supertramp, and Jon Brion. “By way of introduction to a live performance, Mann has referred to Save Me as “the song that lost an Oscar to Phil Collins and his cartoon monkey love song.” Furthermore, Mann has occasionally dedicated her song to Collins in several different venues, albeit in jest.” Magnolia is one of Paul Thomas Anderson’s best movies, and it’s host to an absolutely killer soundtrack. I also love this little tidbit at Wikipedia: Yeah, I read that at Wikipedia – I thought they’d inserted her into the scenes later with special effects magic. During the filming of the movie, he’d have the actors stay in place while he filmed Mann performing next to them. Like the movie, the video was also directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. 😦īut Save Me deserved its nomination & I’m glad a soundtrack I really like got some recognition. And, let’s be honest, the one that most deserved to win was When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2! Come on – you know you’re all feeling tearful now just thinking about Jesse being abandoned. Okay, I admit that I don’t know Music Of My Heart but I’d choose all the others over the Collins song. Besides Save Me, the other nominees were Music Of My Heart, Blame Canada & When She Loved Me. Meh – it’s okay for your typical, lame 1990’s Phil Collins song but it didn’t deserve the win. 'Magnolia' may technically be the title track, but any one of Mann's is more memorable. The other four slots include two former Supertramp chart-toppers, an R&B number by Gabrielle, and the title-track by score-composer Jon Brion. Phil Collins actually won the Oscar in 1999 for You’ll Be in My Heart from Tarzan. Nine of the thirteen songs on Magnolia's soundtrack are performed by Aimee Mann. But, from Magnolia, I preferred Wise Up – I think it’s weird that Save Me was nominated instead of that one considering that was the one used for the movie’s big sing-along. I suppose I liked Mann’s voice thanks to ‘Til Tuesday’s Voices Carry (ha – I loved that video! her boyfriend was such an asshole). However, I still love the Magnolia soundtrack! Okay, the use of Supertramp helped a lot but I also really liked the Aimee Mann songs even though I’m very rarely a fan of the singer/songwriter thing.

Today’s Oscar nominated song is Aimee Mann’s Save Me from the film Magnolia.Īh, Magnolia… That was a weird one, wasn’t it? I watched it at the time and I liked it a lot (especially the ending) but I’ve not watched it since and it’s one where I wonder if I’d just find it pretentious now in my bitter old age.
