The Forgotten Arm

The Forgotten Arm is an album by singer-songwriter Aimee Mann with illustrations by artist Owen Smith. It was released by SuperEgo Records on May 3, 2005. It is a concept album, telling the story of two characters who run off with each other to escape their problems, but end up in more trouble than either of them could have imagined. The album reflects Mann's own boxing in its story and illustrations. The title is derived from a move in which one arm is used to hit the opponent, causing him to "forget" about the other arm, which is then used to deliver a harsher blow.

The album won the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package for Mann and Gail Marowitz (art directors).

Famous quotes containing the words forgotten and/or arm:

    Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
    As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    O God, thy arm was here,
    And not to us, but to thy arm alone
    Ascribe we all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
