Aimee Mann is a great talent who's made bad 'biz' decisions... Fighting her label back then etc. Striking beauty and great talent nonetheless - why not a big star? The biz...
It really was a magic time for music, or maybe it was just being in my 20's. Best of luck to Aimee and the rest of the band. Some of us miss your work.
This was definitely a major one hit wonder from the 80's that carries a special meaning for many of the fans during this time period. I remember when the video came out on MTV. Video did kill the radio star!!
@LastTree The guitarist is a chick. And performed much better live then on record. Seemed like the more they went live and rehearsed the more she added the harmony minor and major chord to the base line and break.
I was there that year.They were good. I remember Aimee introduced her boyfriend to sing a couple of songs. He sucked really bad. He was totally on drugs or really wasted. What an ass!
Today's EMO can learn a thing or two about the real thing...just amazing...I was born half decade prior to this concert but I won't front like I grew up on this music (consider me a GNR, Blind Melon, etc. al disciple)...but wow, how glorious and touching and what a great live performance. Where are the mainstream bands like this today? I don't mind Katy Perry pop for fun on Z100 radio but where is the depth? Where is the heart and soul?
Great performance and what a fascinating woman! I remember being in 7th grade and having the biggest crush on her. She isn't a conventional barbie doll type beauty, although she could easily pull that look off if she tried. But I'm glad she's different. :-) This music had stood the test of time, as I knew it would the first time I heard it.....
She's incredibly talented! I love her! It's weird to think that all the Britney Spears pop artists types consider themselves in same boat with Aimee Mann... as if! Aimee is way beyond their basic talents by far. hugs!
I love this song and she is so beautiful! This video has better quality than the other, but does not have her talking to the audience. It's nice to see/hear Voices Carry without the stupid dope playing as her boyfriend, the one flaw of the official video.
This version of this song is like a sonic boom, I'd love to have been at that place for that performance, I always liked this song but never heard it live, this woman can sing, and my is she a beauty.
I saw this tour. Til Teusday opened up for Rick Springfeild on his Tao tour. I was only fifteen but instantly fell in love with Aimee and I will always consider her one of the most lovely and beautiful women of all time
I love that about YouTube, access to the best live performances. On nothing but audio they're often less than impressive, but to SEE the performers brings the magic home.
And agree with the Colonel, below, that gig must have burned down the house.
In the mid 90's she played at The Bottom Line.She did an In Their Own Words show, where she played unplugged and talked about what inspired them to play music.The DJ who was interviewing had to twist her arm to play Voices Carry.I guess due to all the clapping, she relented and performed it-sounded awesome with just her and an acoustic guitar.I hear that she refuses to do it now.How are you not going to acknowledge the very tune that got you into the business?
I know what you mean. I turned 51 this year and listening to this brings back all the feelings and memories of 1985 when I bought their 1st LP.
I was dating a girl who look exactly like Aimee except she was a brunette. I think this song prolonged our relationship a couple more years. We disbanded the same year Til Tuesday did.
@soutache I hear ya. Talk about the good old days. These guys were scheduled to open for Tom Petty in Kanas City in 85, but Aimee was sick on that date. I was so so bummed. Petty more than made up for it though.
Does anyone know where to get the audio of this song? It sounds so much better/rawer than the studio version? Absolutely blown away. She will be performing here in my town in two weeks. If there is any chance that she will play Voices Carry, I am going.
GREAT quality. And holy shit, I have never seen her this... furious in a performance. I love the MTV Spring Break video from 1987 - the tension is just as palatable, as you can see Michael WINCE a few seconds in.
WOW!! I just got tears in my eyes watching this. I always loved this song (yeah, I'm old enough to remember it when it was new), but I never thought of them as a "live" band and frankly I didn't think they even played their own instruments. I WAS WRONG! I'm glad I found this live recording from this time period. Aimee's pain of what she had written about is so clear, and they are all first rate musicians and sounded great live. Many bands can't pull that off. Love it!
i understand she wrote this song about a bad relationship, most possibly about her. You can really see and feel her emotions fuel in this video.
