  • I sooo love this song!

  • I love this song fantastic

  • A classic. The acting is hilarious but is comic relief to this great song.

  • Beautiful melody! I didn't know the meaning of this song until now. Girls, don't let the man treat you like him.

  • What's with her her anyways? I love it :)

  • the dudes PISSED! cus he cant beat her ass in front of all those people at the theatre like he wants to do.

  • This guy is a complete jerk! he keeps annoying her all the time, obligating her to do what he wants. I love when she gets stand in the middle of the theater and just dont give a shitt about anything, not anymore.

  • what's with the hair?....what the f'''ck do you care..

    one of my all time favorite. love it

  • I luv this song...they dont make songs like this anymore.

  • Any man who beats on his lady is a COWARD ......Even if she is caught cheating ....but if you catch her in the act in your bed ...

    I say beat the shit out of the dude !!! LOL

  • How you gonna blame the dude?

  • One of my favorite songs ....

    Rock on Aimeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    They don't make video's like this anymore !!!

  • Hush Hush..."Voices Carry" is still one of my favorite Aimee Mann/Til Tuesday songs.

    it's such a shame the people who own the rights to it treated her so poorly and she still refuses to sing it in concert ;_(

    the part where she stands up in the middle of an opera & sings her heart out STILL gives me chills!

    it's the first time its over when the skinny lady sings

  • One of the great singer/songwriters of the '80s. Love her music.

  • yesh, right ,keep wishiing.

  • Cully, the psycho boyfriend, was hot. We had a sex based relationship in 85. He was hustling with men on the side as well and had a "real" boyfriend somewhere out of NY I think. As he seems to have disappeared after 88, I'd guess he succumbed to AIDS.

  • huh?

  • shes very beautiful woman and very good song writer i marry her in heart beat :)

  • shes yummy

  • muy mucho este tema

  • that actor sucks!!!!!!!!

  • 0:24, Aimee is hot as all hell

  • Bueniiiiisima, saludos de Guatemala

  • Fab song..love this..

  • Her voice sucks as hell here and makes me think her as the worst vocalist from the US punk rock band. However, I must say she is possibly one of the best singersongwriters in pop music history whenever I listen to her solo albums.

  • i like her song - save me

  • saw her at Midtown Music Festival...a lot of creativity in this girl

  • god, i totally forgot abt this one. soundtrack to my youth:>

  • man I still love that video after all these years.....i was 16 years old when I first saw it on MTV.

  • easily one of the best songs of the '80's, plus a great video.

  • to me it's about a woman who is in a controlling relationship with an abusive guy!

  • precisely!

  • whats this song about..i mean i kinda get it and i love it but it still confuses me!!!!

  • Does anyone know what happened to Aimee Mann and the rest of this band?

  • she was here in birmingham,al earlier this year.

  • Really? What does she look like now? I'm really curious.

  • Aimee Mann went on to have a fairly successful solo career including many acclaimed songs to the Magnolia soundtrack.  She also married Michael Penn. Guitarist Robert Holmes heads a New England cover band. Drummer Michael Hausman became the manager of Mann and Penn. All this info comes courtesy of your friends at Wikipedia!

  • Okay, thanks for the update!

  • i love you aimee

  • .......this is one awesome song and

    this chick is sexy.I'd like to be in bed

    with her.

  • The guy in this video had total 80s angst, he should have been in "Wall St." or "Weird Science"

  • This song touches the pit of my soul. I had not heard it for years and then a friend of mine gave me a cd with misc. 80s songs and it reached that place instantly. I must have some very strong emotions tied to this song from my teens that I am not remembering.

  • Oh wintergardin36, Shush...voices carry

  • Yeah, shut the fuck up. Nobody cares about you. That's what the song is "about".

  • wow that's so amazing. I had the exact same reaction. The last few bars are just so wrenching...

  • I can just really relate to the character in this video. Trying to be something else for somebody that really doesn't even care.

  • Great call, as a 14 year old male i even felt the power of this video. And this is what? 25 years ago?

  • Actually I believe 27 years ago and I was 10. But, it must have been re-released when I was a teenager bcs Oh well.....this is by far one of the best songs of all time.

  • Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide

    And something to fear ... EH EH

  • I just love joaquin ,every where my heart turns from all shades of flowers from red to black and white to pink yellow to gold and the only colorsicould have ever wanted was all yours!

  • I just saw her in the big lebowski. I didn't know she was in it.

  • What character did she played?

  • She played a german (if I remember right) girl in the diner toward the end.  She plays the girl who's toe it was that was severed earlier in the movie. They show her sitting with these other guys, and then they show her foot, and it is missing a toe.

  • Thanks. I will check it out next time I'll watch it.

  • I remember telling my best girl this was one of my favorite new songs.

  • She is touring right now and has a new cd out. Her name is Aimee Mann. She is just as beautiful now as she was then. Check out her new stuff on Youtube. Cheers!....if this information was helpful, please visit my channel and view some of me very relaxing and inspirational videos! Thanks.

  • ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG! Especially the end. WOW! Very powerful!!!

  • Any coincidence that the guy is wearing what is commony known as a 'wifebeater' t-shirt? hmmmm...Hmmmm...HMMMM...

  • Great voice style of Aimee Mann , Love it !

  • this is better quality than the copy Sony uploaded to their site. Sony wants us to buy their music but they can't be bothered to upload decent quality stuff. Go figure. Thanks neo

  • Das ein schönes Lied...zu den Favos xD...Liebe Grüße,

    Tino

  • Weird is this boyfirend reminds me of Blur's "Charmless Man".

  • Great song from a great new wave band from the 1980's! Aimee wrote the best lyrics! This song is about an abusive boyfriend who is controlling. I'm sure there are many girls out there who are in abusive relationships can relate to this song!

  • Man I had the biggest crush on her back then!

  • I guess she's too sensitive for this world or sumpin, like hypersensitive. My favourite Til Tuesdag song is "At The Other End Of The Telescope", a duet with Elvis Costello. Sad but beautiful. Still have that vinyl LP.

  • Aimee Mann is hot even now

  • Sometimes don't you feel like that?

  • can the posting levels be any worse? why bother?

  • Aimee Mann = hot. Then, not now.

  • .As nice as the Transvision Vamp girly? Mmmm, I'd have to toss between them.

  • People get old !! You ?

  • When she says "like what" and then his dumb expression is priceless.

  • Anyone know who played the boyfriend in the video? Great looking guy!

  • he looks like falco lo don't ya think?

  • Excelente tema muy new wave. Me hizo acordar cuando tenía 15

  • exelente cancion vivan os 80 tas

  • This is one of the best songs from the 80`s. Aimee wrote this song to his boyfriend at the time the band`s drumer, because he did not let her tell anybody about their relationship, because he was also his manager and he cared about her career, but her feelings made it beyond that being their one time hit. She is just amazing.

  • Pure song from the 80's... love this fuckin band. Aimee is such a sweetie, especially on the Rush song "Time Stand Still"

  • Wow, this hasn't been band yet?  YouTube must be feeling the economic crunch...Enjoy, it soon will be gone,too

  • What are you talking about ???

  • excelente cancion no la habia escuchado en 20 años , muy buena

  • I wish i was mixed up with some one together ,i don't have anything at all, wish i was hot!

  • omg i love her voice! non-singing and singing!! she very pretty!

  • I want my V-66!!!!!

  • my leader!

  • Til Tuesday was a awesome band back in the day. We need more of the 80's music now more than ever to get over these tough times!! Would you agree?

  • OH Yeah......

    She's almost 50 now and she's still sexy....

    and brunette? No way....

    At the end of the vid she looks great

    in that evening dress, her hair light and short....

    I don't even like short hair....makes me feel like I'm dating a guy....I love long hair..

    and she's still sexy to me....

    that flat brunette wig she wore briefly in the vid looked horrid....no life, or style....

  • Aimee Mann

    When she was big back then its a shame that she didn't really really make it huge...

    Noone had google or wiki to look her up.....or youtube........

    I didn't even know the band had 3 albums...

    Won mtv's best new artist video in 85...

    Call me sexist if you want to but I think the reason she never made it huge was you had Madonna running around like a little ho, and Aimee more punkish

    look at the subjects

    Madonna - Being a virgin = famous

    Till Tuesday - abusive domineering boyfriends

  • Aimee maid money and she got plenty big, especially in Europe

  • this song is so cool.i heard it on the radio yesterday.wow 80's music is so awesome.

  • she looks better as a brunette! seriously great artist.

  • I haven't heard this song in decades...such a cool tune and still relevant today. Thanks for posting!

  • i have always thought it was "scary"...LOL

  • The best cover of this song is from GANG GREEN

    Oh yeah!

  • she is simply adorable!

  • wow cool stuff great vid!

  • Alright so my first intrepretation of this video as a kid was, "This is Carrie"...yes I ate paint chips by the fistful.

  • it's okay.... i thought it was "this is scary"

  • LOL Me Too ! LOL

  • Oh, man; I thought it was "This is Carrie" too! Courtesy of the VH1 Classic marathon's subtitles I feel rather enlightened. That's hilarious - I thought myself the only one. Loved the song before, but it makes much more sense now... Rather maudlin, and wonderful.

  • i love this song!!!

  • great retro song takes me back to highschool what great times and so much more less uptight days hell we had a smoking more like three sections for smoking in our high school and 5 minutes between classes our vice princepal would say boys let me show you how to suck down a smoke in 4 min thats some thing ill never forget,that just floored me cause i was from the tight ass south,miss them days. peace out ,and a big shout out to all the kids who grew up in the 80's ,latter all you old folks,jokes

  • Aimee vocals are so emotional. I love this song. I was about 20 when this came out.

  • One of the best songs of the era.

  • i used to think she was sayin "voices scarry" who knew!

  • this song is amazing it has some atmosphere i love it¡¡

  • sHE WAS A GODDESS IN THIS VIDEO ! hE IS JUST A IMPERFECT MORTAL

  • She should have beaten his ass

  • GOD HER BOYFRIEND Was A DICK. I WOULD TREat this girl like A PRINCESS

  • Imiss wearing my drakkar and chasing girls in mini skirts wearing the bannana clip in their hair,god what i wouldnt give to go back

  • Me too man, me too. Hell, I still have old bottles of Drak and Polo laying around...probably toxic after all these years.

  • She has a great voice. she used to sing back up for Rush (Time stand still)

  • oh my god that was her???!!?!? thats awesome!!!

  • i always used to think she was saying "precious carrie", like an ode to delicate female piece of porcelain, happened to be named carrie. "voices carry" is good too. lol.

  • voices carry, true

  • Saw Aimee Mann in a concert special yesterday,

    did not remember who Aimee Mann was but the face

    looked so familiar

    So I goggled Aimee Mann and Voices Carry.

    Loved the video 1985 ~~~ Rock On Aimee Mann !

  • The tough guy boyfriend in this video is Sean Penn's brother Michael Penn from what I am told. Hard to believe but true.

  • So wrong is not even funny, Michael Penn is Aimee's husband and he's definitely not the guy in this video.

  • Really? Dang, I could have swore that was him! I know they're married. He had a couple of hit songs in the 90's. Never seen a picture of him and that guy in the Voices Carry video looks like he could be Sean Penn's brother. I was wrong though! Thanks for letting me know. You know, Christopher Penn never got the respect and credit he deserved. He is dead now, very sad how is life was cut short but did you ever see him in Footloose? Great performance! He is the total sleeper in that movie. Thanks!

  • i though she was saying misses garry...lol

  • i loved this song.... but what an evil son of a bitch..... lol

  • that man is such a dirt bag!

  • ewild777123: He's like pure evil, lol. He's part of what makes the song awesome, if he wasn't all that bad, the song would sound whiny, but as it is, it makes the song sound so cool, along with Aimee Mann's incredible talent and ... eyes! Those eyes like, stare into your SOUL!!! XD. Hooray for Douchebags!

  • Old Classic MTV Video and Radio Play

    Always thought she has a good voice

  • mi god... the 80s..... golden time of humanity

  • The Carnegie Hall scene was classic, I guess she got his attention there.

  • That would be The Orpheum Theatre in Boston. The vid was shot in Boston It's a Boston band :)

  • Aimee said..."He wants me, but only part of the time! He wants me, if he can keep me in line!"

    Aimee...I want you ALL the time, and you DON'T have to stay in line.

    I had a girlfriend at the time this song was out that reminded me of Aimee...Michelle Gatlin...call me!!!

  • I really like this song. It's really soothing/nostalgic. I heard it on the radio and I just had to get it but I swear I thought she was saying "This is scary". I never would have guessed she was singing "Voices carry".

  • I love this song!! That group is very talented. She is hott and so is the guy. Wow!! I agree... I would want him to rough me up soooo much.

  • that guy was hot..I'd let him get rough with me.

  • 1) I wish I could wear my hair like that now

    2) She could do way better than a rich jerk. :)

  • oh sush!keep it down now voices carry.OMG i love that song

  • nice song.voices carry ohh keep it down now

  • Why, oh why, didn't this video end with the killing of that douchebag boyfriend of hers with her bare hands?

    Aimee, I'm here for you--just say the word.

  • That pose at 2:03 is priceless. I absolutely love the song and the 80s

  • I love that ending...

    You're listening NOW, ain't ya, asshole!! lol

  • This was always one of my favourite 80s songs . . . classic ending! She and Michael Penn (Sean Penn's brother) are still married. His song, No Myth was always one of my favourites, also. The 80s rocked. Mtv had substance then.

  • awesom ending so creative!

  • i'm 20 years old and for all you people who grew up in the 80s, i am so jealous at how good the music sounded from your generations's youth .now the current generation is stuck with Britney Spears, Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Kanye West lol

  • PC20 - thx for a great compliment and comment ^^ yes, miss the 80s for many reasons

    feel sorry for your gen w/all the marketing hype showed at you all the time / resist it! ^^b

  • OMG i thought the ending was hilarious!!!!! those people probably thought the lady was on crack. LOL

  • Great song, even better video!!! NEVER try to force someone to be something their not! PEACE.........

  • I worked with a dude like that he looked and acted like him lol guy was a knucklehead

  • Is he a vampire?

  • She sang on Rush's song "Time Stands Still", and that's all I know lol.

  • great song never heard it before ....so thanks for this ...

    great lyrics ...babsie !!!!

  • i love the ending

  • CLASSIC VID...,  THXXXXXX FOR POSTING

  • This group had so much talent - too bad they didn't do ALOT more. I also like Saved by Zero by The Fixx. New Wave music was the BEST music of the 80's !!!

  • Great song. She has a great voice, and she pulls off the snow-white hair really well. I feel bad for the guy, though...

  • The guy in the vid is such an emotionally abusive asshole.

    It's like he views the girl as property rather than a person.

  • He's still kinda hot.

  • Hey, isn't he on the new allergy commercial??

  • I think thats the point....

  • i remember this song from the radio when I was 10. still one of my favs..

  • I originally hear this song when I was 16!...It was great back then, and GREAT now...recently I fell in love...after awhile he confessed to me he was married, I immediately thought of this songs lyrics...kept quiet,..till one day I exploded and did the right thing...(confronted his wife)

  • good job, you did the right thing. :clapping: Also I love this song, i heard it when I was 13... :)

  • the right thing would be leaving the married guy when you found out! has nothing to do with the song

  • cool song ilikaalot

  • he looks really familiar...great song though.

  • is this song in a lame video game now too ?

  • love this fliping song!!!!!

  • This is one of my fav 80's songs....

  • omg lovvee it!!

  • agreed

  • The dude is kinda hot but such an aaaaaassssss! =P

  • i feel so sorry for aimee even though this isn't real just the expression on her face when he pulls the earing away i just want to beat him up

  • Gotta luv the 80's, Man I never knew she was so friggin hot.

  • Goooooooooo old times. Back to the 80 `s ;-)

  • I love this song!

    The guy in the video reminds me of an ex = \

  • Awesome song!!!

  • This video is great, but it really could do without the "cock" talking in it. ;)

  • no shit, i mean, i get the point of what shes trying to express w/o that asshole speaking. Reminds me of this dude Im dating now, he doesnt like my clothes (black), or that I speak like a truck driver (fuck this,fuck that,fuck it all,fucker,fucking brat *Johnny Rotten reference) or that I freely express my opinions. Looks llike I need to find someone more like me to filll his shoes

  • Way tyo go kwit-wear black and swar a lot-that is my kiind of girl or I should say-I am your kind of guy. Keep the sprits up.
