One of our favorite artists, Aimee Mann, has a new album coming out on 9/18 entitled Charmer, her first album release since 2008.  Check out Ms. Mann playing along with funnyman John Hodgman and actress Laura Linney in the charming official video for the title-track off the new album, as directed by the talented Tom Scharpling.  We hope to catch Mann and/or Laura Linney (ideally both) on tour this fall in support of the new album.  The lyrics follow the video.  You can buy the new album HERE.

“When you’re a charmer
the apples fall
and you’re quite the little collector
you got ‘em all

When you’re a charmer
people respond
they can’t see the hidden agenda
you got going on

But when you’re weak it’s the Holy Grail
you’re two for one, it’s a fire sale
and that’s a wall that you cannot scale
so you’re forced to burrow under

When you’re a charmer
the world applauds
they don’t know that secretly charmers
feel like they’re frauds

When you’re a charmer
you hate yourself
a victim of sideshow hypnosis
like everyone else

and then your thinking goes black and white
and you’re all hunger and appetite
this is a battle you cannot fight
no, you only can surrender
no, you only can surrender”
