“Voices Carry” (1985) by ‘Til Tuesday- anyone else remember this song?

Still love this song and I'm a fan of Aimee Mann.

Of course.

IIRC, the original version had the dominating partner as another woman who was keeping their relationship undercover.

It's a great song. A great 'fuck you' to a controlling, asshole boyfriend.

This is the only song I know that Aimee Mann sings.

It was their only hit song.

r3 No

She’s all hot Grandma now. Shes 63 and looks even better than she did years ago.

She’s a lovely singer. Some great songs.

I know the keyboard player (Joey Pesci) through friends. He's a lovely guy and still hot.

Fun fact: Aimee Mann has been married for decades (since 1997) to Sean Penn's brother Michael Penn.

The hot asshole died.

r12 Wow, you're right - did not ever know who he was.

R10, Joey Pesce info:

OP: “ I used to love … found the video powerful ... I hated … I loved …. I found it powerful … I was shocked.”

MARY!

R9 Her song Deathly inspired Paul Thomas Anderson to write Magnolia & then he used mostly her songs for the soundtrack.

This song takes me right back to being a teenager playing bass in a band in high school. The mood is so perfect for a closeted gay teen. The mood of this song (as well as the actual song) is also found throughout the movie Atomic Blonde with Charlize Theron.

If only I'd been out at the time to fully feel all the lust and angst and heartbreak that I saw in all of my straight friends. 🤘😝

It’s a fantastic song.

I’ve been a fan of her solo work for decades. She’s one who’s never gotten her due.

Her last album was all songs for a stage musical version of Girl, Interrupted that got derailed by the pandemic. It has some of her best work.

She can be sharply cynical, but on this one she’s mournfully fragile and tentatively hopeful.

R18 she has a unique style

Wise Up from Magnolia.

Great song.

From my hometown. The Magnolia Soundtrack was hauntingly good.

Wise Up was used in both Magnolia and Jerry McGuire.

I always thought it was “hush hush keep it down now you’re so scary”

Settling in for the evening huh op? Back to replying to yourself for another night.

I agree wholeheartedly with R1, R8, and R16 — the Magnolia soundtrack is brilliant. I like a lot of her husband’s work too.

You go ahead and reply to yourself op since nobody else wants to.

It was filmed on a street in the South End of Boston, I lived next door. My roommate sold his apartment recently for over 800K. I remember when the nuns moved out of their Union Park brownstone in the 90’s and it still had all the gas lighting, and the woodwork and trim was in pristine condition.

You ok, r27 / r25?

Such a great song. Underrated.

Yes. Plus, there's a Til Tuesday/Aimee Mann post on DL seemingly nearly every month.

R31 interesting. Post links please. I wanna see Their post dates.

RIP Hot Asshole!!!

R31 still waiting for the links

I could relate to the lyrics when I was younger and dating closeted guys who wanted to keep our relationship a secret

R31 where are your links to use as citations?

I'm SO glad the band's doing well

I love her sense of humour.

R36 I'm not R31 but there are many music threads with at least one A. Mann/ Til T. song popping up on it.

Try doing a search.

The pandemic must've started in the early 90s when her solo career went nowhere. R18

Also I like her both as a person & an artist but she had stronger material as a lead singer of TT.

R39 i have. Not many

I was watching this 1988 live performance of Til Tuesday the other day and was struck by how beautiful Aimee Mann was. I've been a fan of her music but hadn't seen performances from back then until now

* Oops, 1986
