I grew up in the 80s, you don't realize you're living in the moment until it's gone. God it was a great period, no cellphone, MTV playing music,, stadium concerts, it was truly an iconic age!!!
A bartender in Daytona in 1986. She sang this at the Band Shell in a light rain. Next week it was the Bangles. Next week, Jefferson Starship. MTV ‘s first Run at Spring Break. It was great then. I am so glad I was able to spend my 20’s in the 80’s. We had it made and did not know it. Thank you God for this life and love.
REM at 688 in Atlanta Georgia. B52's and Oingo Boingo at the Agora. Blue Oyster Cult and Foghat at the Omni. Good times. Driving my Ford Maverick with Kansas and The Eagles playing on the 8-track.
My parents both graduated high school in ‘84 and I’ve always told them how jealous they were. My mom was listening to Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson etc and my dad was listening to Metallica, Motley Crue, Van Halen etc. I just turned 24 and I still listen to all my songs my parents grew up with. I love it.
I just asked my wife today if she thought our kids would ever read the cereal box for fun in today’s world. We were lucky to be alive back in the 80s. Too bad we didnt know it at the time.
Very beautiful, indeed---but I kept looking at the guitarist---and couldn't figure out what gender...But the end credits say a man...I was born in the 60's, and when punk-ish peeps came out, lotsa them looked either male or female ( didn't like that, much )...But Aimee rocks & looks delightful, I actually tried to have a long braid, like that ( I saw Steve Walsh from KANSAS have one, & tried to emulate ).

Lol you know what I was a kid in the 80's and was a teen in the 90's. I hated the 80's then. Now, I look back and wish I would have been a teen in the 80's. What a time....
Our music sucked/sucks. It's AWFUL Worse, they never stopped playing it. It went from "hot hits" to "soft rock" to adult contemporary to now being "oldies" 70s music is better in every way. Even disco. 50s music is better too. The only thing I grant is that it's better than what is played on the radio today, which is even worse.
Do yourself a favor and go check out The Warning which is a rock power trio of three sisters. They all sing and each plays their instruments. Guitar, bass, drums and they are all classically trained pianists. Also, their superpower is LIVE! If you go looking, be sure to pick their official released live songs. Suggestions, "Hell You Call A Dream" and "Automatic Sun".
That's exactly what people said about this music in the 80s. Every generation has people crapping on contemporary music and pining over the old stuff as the "real music".
oh stop it. there was soooo much garbage in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. we only fixate on the good and romanticize the past. humans be humans no matter the times we live in.
I'm 63 and watching/ listening today (5/8/24) thinking about everything and mostly the friends who were lost. No drug stories. It's been chronic illnesses cancer and diabetes. Couple accidents. Forever thankful for growing up 70's & 80's and the people I knew

@@rlodes1 When considering music's golden era, one must focus on the period from the 1950s through the early 2000s. This era stands out as a pinnacle of musical creativity, diversity, and influence. It's interesting to observe how the first 50 years of a genre often emerge as its most impactful and revered period. During these formative decades, foundational styles and iconic artists shape the genre's identity and legacy. In the context of music, the 1950s to the early 2000s saw a remarkable evolution and fusion of various musical styles. The 1950s introduced rock 'n' roll, jazz, and blues, setting the stage for future innovations. The 1960s and 1970s witnessed the rise of legendary bands like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, alongside the emergence of Motown and the birth of heavy metal and punk rock. The 1980s brought about the explosion of pop, new wave, and hip-hop, while the 1990s saw the dominance of grunge, alternative rock, and the globalization of electronic music. As we moved into the 21st century, the impact of digital technology and the internet began to reshape the music industry. The early 2000s marked the end of this golden era as traditional methods of music production, distribution, and consumption gave way to new, technology-driven paradigms. While innovation and technological advancements have undoubtedly expanded the possibilities within the music industry, the foundational years from the 1950s to the early 2000s remain unmatched in their cultural and artistic significance.
@@anfernee576 With the exception of the first couple of years of the fifties, and the disco era, the fifties thru mid 80s were truly the golden age of music. There have been a few outstanding artists since the mid 60s, such as Garbage Bjork, and Pink, bust mostly it is trash music all cranked out by the same two song writers.
The year this song broke out, I was maybe 15 y/o. I traveled to Connecticut from Florida during the summer to work on a farm and put a few sheckles together. I only managed to work about a month and a half before being fired. The morning after I was driven to the airport in Hartford to be flown home. I was carrying my bass guitar with me when out of the blue, SHE walked up to me and told me to loosen my strings so the high altitude wouldnt warp the neck or break the strings on my bass. I flew home to Florida still not realizing who she was until I saw the MTV music video for "Voices Carry" and I was completely floored. It is likely that she saw some skinny kid bass player, who was quite the freak back then, and being the sweet soul she is, took it upon herself to give me some awesome advice. I just wish I had known who she was at the time. Shouldve had her sign my bass. Such a beautiful girl. Love this song.
Cool story, but Aimee's advice was incorrect-pressure changes have no significant effect on stringed instruments or string tension. This is a fallacy. Though sealed containers can be affected by pressure changes (drive through a mountain pass [or down from mountains] with a sealed vessel with air in it [water bottle will do] and open it at the top or bottom, and you'll hear either a release or intake of air). Your bass is not a sealed container, and neither is your case. Also, modern aircraft are pressurized, even in the cargo hold, and cabin altitudes are usually maintained at or less than 8000 feet so that passengers won't experience hypoxia at cruise altitudes. That being said, I love this Til Tuesday performance.
70's and 80's were the greatest music decades. So many great bands, and then the iconic one hit wonders with songs that live clear into today. Was so great to be young for those years. Today's music doesn't hold a candle.
It will in our hearts until we die. And us the people of the 80's will be gone forever and only media like TH-cam will have videos, photos, etc. of the greatest decade ever. But those of us that actually lived it... have the 80's nostalgia in our souls. And again... when we're gone the 80's will truly be gone forever. I see the 1980's as a modern day Renaissance, especially the music, technology and entertainment (TV shows, cartoons, movies, toys, etc.). Maybe future generations 200 years from now will draw inspiration from that great decade. At least the 1980's should be in the history books. Especially the U.S.A. And also the U.K.
@@iatsd You are wrong. They are well known outside the US. This song was all over the airwaves in the 80's in the US and elsewhere. A top ten smash hit that put them up there with the best acts of the 80's.
@@nicholasjolt6200 You are delusional. They never made any impact outside north america. They made it to the top 100 in ONE other country, and they never cracked the top 20 ANYWHERE except the US
@@iatsd Once again, you are wrong. The song "Voices Carry" peaked at number 15 on the Australian and Canadian charts in 1985. And the last time I checked; Australia and Canada are not in the US. Your statement " They were largely unknown outside the US" is absolutely false. I don't live in the US, Canada nor Australia but I can assure you that their single " Voices Carry," sold like hot cakes in my country and numerous other countries in South America, having received copious airplay in 1985.
@@nicholasjolt6200 well done - you spotted that. now, tell me all about how cracking the top 20 *once* in *one* country equates to "well known all over the world"? Face it, when people think about "new wave" NO ONE ON THE PLANET thinks about American groups.
We'll, since you think your opinion is a fact, I can do the same.... She is barely attractive at best ...You know this, alba and longoria, are gorgeous...God bless !!
She was like Spinal Tap th-cam.com/video/UZ6JxAgmxXg/w-d-xo.html . Aimee Mann has had a long career as a brilliant singer songwriter, just not a rock star at the top of the charts.
Aimee Mann has had a phenomenal career as a semi-indy artist. I like Lost in Space and the Magnolia Sountrack, but there's something for everybody. th-cam.com/video/323W1GcfcTA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NaHg th-cam.com/video/Yf3LojyK7PA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AimeeMann-Topic
Loved Voices Carry. Seemed like Berlin drowned her out. I was shocked Til Tuesday didn't take off. Loved when they did pop up video and one of the bubbles was the guy who played her boyfriend in the video, who received hate mail, and people in the streets called him a pig. 80s videos cannot be replaced!
WOW! You can't take your eyes off her, she's mesmerizing! The hair, the eyes, the moves, the voice....Jesus! Vaguely remember this from my youth but never heard it live. That was huge.
Aimee Mann is Amazingly Talented. She had an amazing voice and is a fantastic guitarist. She's still as hot as she was in 1986 too....beautiful voice and eyes.
I fortunately was in my 20's during the WONDERFUL 80'S ( born 1960 ). I was going to college at UCLA and working as a seasonal lifeguard. I remember well the GREAT music, going to the hottest dance clubs ( Florentine Gardens in Hollywood). I was young, in my prime... Now, I'm an 'old man " at 62, and this song indeed brings back some very bittersweet memories .... So long, my wonderful youth.... 💔
Florentine Gardens? Didn't get around much, huh? Plastic Passion in Hollywood, Viola' in Beverly Center, Stratus (Kind of far away in San Diego, but very cool)....the list goes on...
Too much to unpack. But here's a start: (1) She's 26 at the Ritz in NYC with more cameras than Rita Hayworth (2) casually checks in with guitarist at :26 (3) adjusts amp volume & tone at :30 (4) makes eye contact with drummer at :36 like "you're the secret sauce this is it" and nails the vocal intro at :41. And then subverts with lyrics, implications and inuendos so profound it took me 33 years to finally grasp. Just incredible. Her stage presence and gorgeous Hollywood imagery demand attention. But her musical prowess is deceptively epic. APEX musician. Period.
I turned 63 a few weeks ago. And I still so well remember "Voices Carry" when it came out in the mid 80s. Such a powerful song for its time. Aimee is amazing.
@@coreyzimmerman9782 That is Robert Holmes from England on guitar. Great guitarist. I had the pleasure of working with Robert before he was in Til Tuesday when he lived near Boston. He's just as terrific a guy as well.
I you are 50-55 today, you really got a taste of some great music!!!! And the 80s had everything…. rap, classs rock, hair bands, alternative, freestyle music, We were also exposed to everything classic cars, computers from the very beginning, cell phones, ex.
This song came out in my country while I was in the army just towards the end of training. Then I was posted to the operational area in Angola and never saw civilization again for nine months. Casevaced out of Angola and after some time in hospital I was sent home to a completely different world. My younger sister was out of school, my parents divorced, my older sister and her husband separated. I had 6 weeks of accumulated leave and recovery leave and in that time I became a recluse and tried to catch up on the music scene. This song I must have listened to a thousand times and every time I hear it I'm taken back to that time when I was almost killed in a stupid and unnecessary war and my entire life was changed forever yet I was grateful to still be alive. Today I'm friends with former enemies from Russia, Cuba and Namibia and can go to former battlefields where I lost friends, comrades and even family and sit there thinking how everything could've ended for me all those years ago and how I changed yet this song is one of those that helped me recover. the mental scars are there but I can cope so thank you Till Tuesday. You guys are awesome!
Wow! What a way to end it. That brings back memories of the 80s. I was in my 30s and it was unbelievable! What a sensual allure and captivating stage presence. And an awesome bass player.
god, you sound so old and out of touch. Sad. I was playing in this era too. was signed. There are as many good musicians now, as then. In many ways more proficient due to so much teaching material available. Want better music,..? stop expecting you will find it on the radio made for 20 year olds.
I can watch this video 100x in a row. It was like yesterday when this song came out. I just started college ….. not only was this a great song/ video but it ushered in a new era of music . For me, this was the best time of life before having my family So I dedicate this comment for all the people who grew up and lived through the 80s it was the best decade to grow up in
Happy Birthday Aimee, your voice has the ability to take us back to a time before phones and a time unfortunately we can only return to in our memories. You’re a special person!!! You can take us on a trip just by closing our eyes and listening to your beautiful voice. Thanks again for the memories you bring back to me and I’m sure many others…..
@@ronniedudley2697yeah some girls have them. Do you think she’s a him’s ? I bet your mom,sister , or wife ain’t that fucking hot. You’re a homophob ronnie w your androgynous name. Are you a dude w no adams apple and you’re jealous? Wtf
Fun fact. This song was written about a lesbian relationship, but the record company frowned upon that theme, so Amiee rewrote it with a man as the focal point.
I bought a new Ford Ranger Pickup truck in 1998. The truck came with the standard manuals and such in the glovebox, and a cassette tape with one song on it, so you could check out the sound system. The song: Voices Carry.
I was 7 years old at this time, I remember the 80s being a great time in life. No one seemed to struggle, people got along better and things just seemed to happier... The sky was a deeper blue and the summer sunsets looked so much more beautiful.... Damn I wish it was still like that today
I can't think of another live performance as cool and mesmerizing as this, Great song, great guitar, great voice and great hair. The whole thing is pretty stunning.
I saw Aimee in Chicago opening for Squeeze in the late or mid 1990's. She did not do this song. I believe she was sick of it and trying to change her image.
Me too bro! Smoking hot '80s icon of a woman. Her voice was mesmerizing and to a weird degree, almost personal as if she was singing to us directly. Thanks for the walk down memory lane, truly good times! 👍
Sounds as good live as it does on record. She's got a great voice and a beautiful face. Classic song. Can't believe how many years have slipped away since this song came out.
She did a lot of solo work on the soundtrack for the movie Magnolia. Many people feel she was robbed of the Oscar that year. From Wiki: "Save Me" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song;[1] Mann performed it at the 72nd Academy Awards.[2] It lost to "You'll Be in My Heart", by Phil Collins, from the Disney movie Tarzan. By way of introduction to a live performance, Mann has referred to "Save Me" as "the song that lost an Oscar to Phil Collins and his cartoon monkey love song."[3] "Save Me" was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal;[1]
@@randrozguidroz6485 I turned 72 this winter and I still can't believe it-for all the talk about drugs killing you young I stand as the exception...LOL..
I love this version; somehow Her voice is better on this live take, than on the record version. True talent comes out in live performances. She is really good here! Thanks for sharing!
73 years old now, heard part of this song a few days ago somewhere (TH-cam, radio, who knows), remembered the New Wave keyboards and hunted it down. Voices Carry is now on my playlist. So glad I re-found it.
In 1986 I saw this band down on the riverfront in St. Louis on the Landing and I was sitting up at the bar when she took her break. She was very cool to talk to and just beautiful. Great band.
Great song after all these years. Awesome tune. Voices carry. That year she did this song i was in Germany with my cousin in his porche 944 on the auto bon. 0:15
Imagine being 25 years and writing songs like Voices Carry and What about Love…such a talented band…each one of them brought something special to this band called Till Tuesday.
30 some years later and I still think she s one of the most beautiful women I ve ever seen, and my favorite band Rush asked her to sing on Hold Your Fire.
She is now getting her due, today she is finally getting more recognition for how beautiful she really is as a song writer and a performer with her old band. Til' Tuesday ": God Bless Aimee Mann
She has that strange, out of this world, godess like alien beauty

Cool story, but Aimee's advice was incorrect-pressure changes have no significant effect on stringed instruments or string tension. This is a fallacy. Though sealed containers can be affected by pressure changes (drive through a mountain pass [or down from mountains] with a sealed vessel with air in it [water bottle will do] and open it at the top or bottom, and you'll hear either a release or intake of air). Your bass is not a sealed container, and neither is your case. Also, modern aircraft are pressurized, even in the cargo hold, and cabin altitudes are usually maintained at or less than 8000 feet so that passengers won't experience hypoxia at cruise altitudes.
That being said, I love this Til Tuesday performance.
CT !!! lived here my 55 years !!
Love the story!! 80s rock!
You can tell this song is from her soul.. not just sung or performed. Amazing.
She could easily sing for Marie Fredrickson/ 🙏 🎉/ it must have been love ❤️
In 1983, I saw Til Tuesday play in the cafeteria at my alma mater Salem State College. I stood next to Aimee Mann and was blown away.
God, that must have been awesome.
I got blown away by FogHat in Hinesville Georgia in a sports bar/ strip club best night ever 🥳 lmfao
70's and 80's were the greatest music decades. So many great bands, and then the iconic one hit wonders with songs that live clear into today. Was so great to be young for those years. Today's music doesn't hold a candle.
The 60s gave birth to the 70s...
I'm 52, this piece is pure gold. Long live the 80's.
It will in our hearts until we die. And us the people of the 80's will be gone forever and only media like TH-cam will have videos, photos, etc. of the greatest decade ever.
But those of us that actually lived it... have the 80's nostalgia in our souls.
And again... when we're gone the 80's will truly be gone forever.
I see the 1980's as a modern day Renaissance, especially the music, technology and entertainment (TV shows, cartoons, movies, toys, etc.).
Maybe future generations 200 years from now will draw inspiration from that great decade.
At least the 1980's should be in the history books. Especially the U.S.A. And also the U.K.
Truly pure gold
I love this song and girl for like 35years 😊
Same age, same feeling. What a time to be alive in 1986. Full of possibilities for a 13/14 year old!
soy argentino tengo 54 años somos de la misma epoca
Who ever thought we'd miss the 80s?
All of us
Who didn't
An anthem of the 80s. Not just a pretty face in a little black dress. A great voice and solid musicianship..
Average voice, competent playing, butg not exactly stretching the skill requirements at any point, and largely unknown outside the US.
@@iatsd You are wrong. They are well known outside the US. This song was all over the airwaves in the 80's in the US and elsewhere. A top ten smash hit that put them up there with the best acts of the 80's.
@@nicholasjolt6200 You are delusional. They never made any impact outside north america. They made it to the top 100 in ONE other country, and they never cracked the top 20 ANYWHERE except the US
@@iatsd Once again, you are wrong. The song "Voices Carry" peaked at number 15 on the Australian and Canadian charts in 1985. And the last time I checked; Australia and Canada are not in the US. Your statement " They were largely unknown outside the US" is absolutely false. I don't live in the US, Canada nor Australia but I can assure you that their single " Voices Carry," sold like hot cakes in my country and numerous other countries in South America, having received copious airplay in 1985.
@@nicholasjolt6200 well done - you spotted that. now, tell me all about how cracking the top 20 *once* in *one* country equates to "well known all over the world"?
Face it, when people think about "new wave" NO ONE ON THE PLANET thinks about American groups.
What an amazingly full live sound. She’s gorgeous here
She was extremely attractive and sexy.
We'll, since you think your opinion is a fact, I can do the same.... She is barely attractive at best ...You know this, alba and longoria, are gorgeous...God bless !!
She still is
@@KendraPitching You're right, "She still is", not that hot !! God bless :):)
Aimee mann?
80s music was and still is so good , was a great time to be around, just didn’t realize it at the time ..
Just gonna say it. The 80's still kicks everyone ass! Class of 87 baby!
Yep and yep !
Class of 84! Love it 😀
Class of 81. Eighties music was just awesome!!
Class of 87. A magical time I don't even bother trying to explain to the youngsters.
Class of 86 here
Beautiful woman! The eighties were amazing
Yes they were, they live in my heart forever ❤️😁
I still can’t believe she didn’t dominate the world after this. The complete package.
She was like Spinal Tap th-cam.com/video/UZ6JxAgmxXg/w-d-xo.html . Aimee Mann has had a long career as a brilliant singer songwriter, just not a rock star at the top of the charts.
Aimee Mann has had a phenomenal career as a semi-indy artist. I like Lost in Space and the Magnolia Sountrack, but there's something for everybody.

Loved Voices Carry. Seemed like Berlin drowned her out. I was shocked Til Tuesday didn't take off. Loved when they did pop up video and one of the bubbles was the guy who played her boyfriend in the video, who received hate mail, and people in the streets called him a pig. 80s videos cannot be replaced!
@@amitbasu7516 This. Most artists, even successful ones, are living their lives lowkey. It's just a job.
Great performance. She looks so beautiful in this video.
I'm 59 and I've made my decision. This is my FAVORITE song of all time!!
Nice one for damn sure!!!
It's a great song, and this live performance is amazing!!
No one refers to this but shes also playing the bass while singing like this. Pure talent.
While singing brilliantly
SHE'S A VIRGO BABY
it's easy to see and hear why she did "time stands still" with rush..
I'm not a bass player, but I have heard that playing bass and singing is quite difficult.
@@arsbadmojo I do sing and play bass, and it can be difficult, depending on the song.
WOW! You can't take your eyes off her, she's mesmerizing! The hair, the eyes, the moves, the voice....Jesus! Vaguely remember this from my youth but never heard it live. That was huge.
She looks like Billy Idol. LOL
@@elitetrader5468 80s
Aimee Mann is Amazingly Talented. She had an amazing voice and is a fantastic guitarist. She's still as hot as she was in 1986 too....beautiful voice and eyes.
* has an amazing voice and is sooo talented
Aimee mann...omg
Blew up the speakers listening to this song in my dad’s truck - every thanksgiving for the past 33 years he reminds me about it
Mebee show him this video, and perhaps he will get it?
I miss 2 things in this world, my Grandma and the 80s.
Me too !
Best time in history! So glad I was part of it!!
You and me both !
The 1980’s will go down in the history of music like the 1950’s did.
I fortunately was in my 20's during the WONDERFUL 80'S ( born 1960 ). I was going to college at UCLA and working as a seasonal lifeguard. I remember well the GREAT music, going to the hottest dance clubs ( Florentine Gardens in Hollywood). I was young, in my prime... Now, I'm an 'old man " at 62, and this song indeed brings back some very bittersweet memories .... So long, my wonderful youth.... 💔
Florentine Gardens? Didn't get around much, huh? Plastic Passion in Hollywood, Viola' in Beverly Center, Stratus (Kind of far away in San Diego, but very cool)....the list goes on...
The list can go on and on, but the person wrote what was especially memorable for him and the quantity doesn’t matter here.@@jjthomas2297
I was an 80s kid poor abused all types of ways of if I had a voice nobody cared about it. This song meant so much to me
I wish I realized at the time (high school) how good we had it in the 80’s!!
you got that right...from a B.C. boy (Canada)
me too man. I wish we could turn the time back to the 80's. I would go to a lot of concerts thing that I didn't.
No cellphones People interacted
Was 18 when this song came out.... man really takes me back to those days. Ontario Canada here!
The 80s sucked. 70s was much better for music and everything basically.
Too much to unpack. But here's a start: (1) She's 26 at the Ritz in NYC with more cameras than Rita Hayworth (2) casually checks in with guitarist at :26 (3) adjusts amp volume & tone at :30 (4) makes eye contact with drummer at :36 like "you're the secret sauce this is it" and nails the vocal intro at :41. And then subverts with lyrics, implications and inuendos so profound it took me 33 years to finally grasp. Just incredible. Her stage presence and gorgeous Hollywood imagery demand attention. But her musical prowess is deceptively epic. APEX musician. Period.
100% on the money James! Big fan of Aimee Mann [also a big Rush fan 'Time Stand Still']
Very good analysis, she is truly an Apex performer
Spot on analysis, but I’ll add the 2:40 mark as my favorite
I turned 63 a few weeks ago. And I still so well remember "Voices Carry" when it came out in the mid 80s. Such a powerful song for its time. Aimee is amazing.
I agree with everything you said, but why does the bass line continue when she adjusts the amp? Is that a stupid question to ask?
I am 59 and still love this song!
I'm 58 and I go back in time. God I miss the 80s. But it will live in me till the day I die. Just take me back to the 80s.
I'm going on 63, I agree with you 100% 😎👊🏽✌🏽
You Geezers! I'm a spry 55 and this song puts a tear in my eye.

Graduated from high school in '90.
Then, the grunge crap started. : (
The guitar distortion was incredible. The keyboard added a dark tone. So mesmerizing.
Guitarist (who).......amazing
Amazing live
@@coreyzimmerman9782 That is Robert Holmes from England on guitar. Great guitarist. I had the pleasure of working with Robert before he was in Til Tuesday when he lived near Boston. He's just as terrific a guy as well.
@@med4thedead Wow that is so cool! Yeah he's phenomenal guitarist!!
@@med4thedead I just realized he's a guy, he really nailed that androgynous look, thought he was a she. Great chops for sure.
58 year old man. Still listen to a lot of 70s and 80s music. So much of it still sounds great.
I you are 50-55 today, you really got a taste of some great music!!!! And the 80s had everything…. rap, classs rock, hair bands, alternative, freestyle music,
We were also exposed to everything classic cars, computers from the very beginning, cell phones, ex.
Yes.
The 1980s we were there, never to be duplicated.
This song came out in my country while I was in the army just towards the end of training. Then I was posted to the operational area in Angola and never saw civilization again for nine months. Casevaced out of Angola and after some time in hospital I was sent home to a completely different world. My younger sister was out of school, my parents divorced, my older sister and her husband separated. I had 6 weeks of accumulated leave and recovery leave and in that time I became a recluse and tried to catch up on the music scene. This song I must have listened to a thousand times and every time I hear it I'm taken back to that time when I was almost killed in a stupid and unnecessary war and my entire life was changed forever yet I was grateful to still be alive. Today I'm friends with former enemies from Russia, Cuba and Namibia and can go to former battlefields where I lost friends, comrades and even family and sit there thinking how everything could've ended for me all those years ago and how I changed yet this song is one of those that helped me recover. the mental scars are there but I can cope so thank you Till Tuesday. You guys are awesome!
My condolences. You fought a bankers' war
That's an awesome story. And I am sorry for the tough times
Damn, stay strong, there is a reason for all of this
And yet unfortunately our country has learned nothing since then. Or at least that's the case for the corrupt incompetents running (ruling) the place
Thank you for sharing your personal slice of life, I enjoy hearing how these songs impact someone their entire life. :)
Teenager in the 80”s, awesome time, still such an innocent time yet in our world, life was so good. Best music ever
Goosebumps. Amazing song and amazing times. Ask anyone from the 1980's and they will tell you it was a fantastic time to be alive. ,👏
God damn I miss the 70’s, 80’s. Amiee and Till Tuesday sorely missed. So sorry the younger generation missed out on all the great music
Wow! What a way to end it. That brings back memories of the 80s. I was in my 30s and it was unbelievable! What a sensual allure and captivating stage presence. And an awesome bass player.
Really great band and Aimee had so much talent and emotion.
I to miss the 80s when bands were actually loaded with talent.
god, you sound so old and out of touch. Sad. I was playing in this era too. was signed. There are as many good musicians now, as then. In many ways more proficient due to so much teaching material available. Want better music,..? stop expecting you will find it on the radio made for 20 year olds.
That ended in early early 2000s
You know she's still around, right?
I miss the 60's/70's when the bands had real actual talent.
loaded with talent...just like ur cock
I’m 70 years old Ioved that song back then it was beautiful time to be alive 😊
Never received their true recognition, awesome band
So glad I was a part of great music❤️👣🌹
I can watch this video 100x in a row. It was like yesterday when this song came out. I just started college ….. not only was this a great song/ video but it ushered in a new era of music . For me, this was the best time of life before having my family
So I dedicate this comment for all the people who grew up and lived through the 80s it was the best decade to grow up in
I grew up dirt poor in the 70/80s but was never happier. We've lost something along the way.
Correct.
The guitar tone is killer, classic 80's sound!!
Chorus on 11.
Is “classic 80’s sound” a good thing? 😂
@@MichaelM-to4sg not a good thing, but it's a great thing!!🤣😎
@@johngonzalez624 plus Reverb
Can’t stop replaying the opening transition or the whole jam for that matter. I had a similar sound setup back in the day. So awesome.
She’s looks and sounds as good today as she did then. Time has truly stood still for her….😂
I caught the Rush reference.
Yes, she still does, and still sings..
This is masterpiece. It is live and it is a song for the ages. So masterfully done . . . . all of it.
Yep... agreed
I had hair like her wow. I thought she was gorgeous. I loved this tune and yet it seems to lack now lol. Wow the 80’s were the Bomb. 💃🏼🥰👏🏼💝🙏🏽🥳💫
Aimee Mann is just an incredible talent. Been making great music now for decades after theis band.
No tenía idea
Her work with Ted Leo on The Both album was awesome!
Gracias cris
She was in The Big Lebowski.
I've seen Aimee in concert at least 6 times. She's still awesome.
I've watched this 10 times in 2 days. She has a very strong stage presence, a natural performer.
80s and some of the 90s were when you could just listen to the radio all day and not need a TV. So many great bands and songs.
Happy Birthday Aimee, your voice has the ability to take us back to a time before phones and a time unfortunately we can only return to in our memories. You’re a special person!!! You can take us on a trip just by closing our eyes and listening to your beautiful voice. Thanks again for the memories you bring back to me and I’m sure many others…..
God I miss the 80s when people wrote what they felt and actually played she is absolutely amazing
Um you think that doesn't happen today?
LOL
@@helpfulcommenter not like then....
I was 29 when that song came out, I m 68 and still love it. The 80s had the best music!!
@@gailborden689 Same here Gail. .Love this song and the band.
Exactly...there's a few now but not many
Her voice just burries into your soul and make's your heart race with emotion
That throat has an ADAMS APPLE 🍎 😳 👀
@@ronniedudley2697yeah some girls have them. Do you think she’s a him’s ? I bet your mom,sister , or wife ain’t that fucking hot. You’re a homophob ronnie w your androgynous name. Are you a dude w no adams apple and you’re jealous? Wtf
FYI -- women ALSO have an adams apple -- just not as pronounced as a mans - i looked it up....interesting stuff., check it out.
@@ronniedudley2697
*Buries
Fun fact. This song was written about a lesbian relationship, but the record company frowned upon that theme, so Amiee rewrote it with a man as the focal point.
I bought a new Ford Ranger Pickup truck in 1998. The truck came with the standard manuals and such in the glovebox, and a cassette tape with one song on it, so you could check out the sound system. The song: Voices Carry.
How awesome did it sound?
Yeah we grew up in the best time of this world great music ,real bands live ,and good times
I was 7 years old at this time, I remember the 80s being a great time in life. No one seemed to struggle, people got along better and things just seemed to happier... The sky was a deeper blue and the summer sunsets looked so much more beautiful.... Damn I wish it was still like that today
same
Steve Miller band
Wow!!! I love this live version! and she is absolutely gorgeous
I fell in love .. She is just perfect....
Her voice is perfect.
She may be the most perfect, beautiful and coolest person ever in the history of everything! Awe-inspiring
This was recorded in 1986 and sounds better than 90% of the live shows I hear now. The band was also 100% on point !
Bingo!
Absolutely!
Yeah excellent sound quality.
Then stop going to venues with shitty sound systems.
Wow
I love when a band or a singer sound like the album
So so good. The 80’s are still missed. Such creativity with the music.
As each day passes we get further and further from the greatest decade ever.
💯
I can't think of another live performance as cool and mesmerizing as this, Great song, great guitar, great voice and great hair. The whole thing is pretty stunning.
It's her eyes.😮
Check out The tubes "she's a beauty" live from San Fransisco in 1983. th-cam.com/video/CM6V8TzEkv4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XXmxDtasxJ-rmr6g
This kick ass song never gets old ! I love her voice, look , the lyrics, and instrumental!
You got er on every level Franki 🤟
I saw Aimee in Chicago opening for Squeeze in the late or mid 1990's. She did not do this song. I believe she was sick of it and trying to change her image.
I Agree 👍!
Me too bro! Smoking hot '80s icon of a woman. Her voice was mesmerizing and to a weird degree, almost personal as if she was singing to us directly. Thanks for the walk down memory lane, truly good times! 👍
and her vagina> You dont mention this or her clit? your fucking selfish!
This is absolutely my favorite Bloc song. Nick’s solo is pure bliss. It’s everything that was great about Bloc.
Aimee, she is imposing on stage and with a remarkable voice can't take eyes off her...excellent live performance
Just too beautiful ... ?
PLUS SHE HAS BEAUTIFUL EYES......IM I COULD SET AND JUST STAIR AT THEM !
2:29 I've always thought this break was one of the most defining 80s moments. Brilliant song, brilliant band, brilliant decade for music.
It showcases the 9th of the chord and uses suspended tones! Very 80's!
Totally
yes true
Sounds as good live as it does on record. She's got a great voice and a beautiful face. Classic song. Can't believe how many years have slipped away since this song came out.
Seriously.
Oh how I Love this! She was great to watch! Miss it everyday!!
This woman was captivating audiences a year before I was born. And I NEVER heard of her before. THANKS, RANDOM TH-cam ALGORITHM!
My sentiments exactly with the exception of me being 67 and never even dreaming I live this long
She did a lot of solo work on the soundtrack for the movie Magnolia. Many people feel she was robbed of the Oscar that year. From Wiki: "Save Me" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song;[1] Mann performed it at the 72nd Academy Awards.[2] It lost to "You'll Be in My Heart", by Phil Collins, from the Disney movie Tarzan. By way of introduction to a live performance, Mann has referred to "Save Me" as "the song that lost an Oscar to Phil Collins and his cartoon monkey love song."[3] "Save Me" was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal;[1]
Agreed!! i like to think i have it best. born in 65, had a net-free childhood, but now can relive so much due to "miracle" of youtube and such!
@@randrozguidroz6485 I turned 72 this winter and I still can't believe it-for all the talk about drugs killing you young I stand as the exception...LOL..
I just stumbled upon this. I was at this show! I loved Til Tuesday so much and this song still brings all the feels.
Wow what I wouldn't do to go back to this date? Best times of my life as an 18 year old kid. Greatest music and parties back then.
Got see her perform back in day! Awesome time it was indeed!🖤
WOW! what an incredible amazing haunting song that , I grew up in the 80's I never heard this live before I am blown away.
agreed mate. Awesome performance.
I love this version; somehow Her voice is better on this live take, than on the record version.
True talent comes out in live performances. She is really good here! Thanks for sharing!
They played this live version more uptempo for sure
NO AUTOTUNE!!! Certainly true back in that era.
73 years old now, heard part of this song a few days ago somewhere (TH-cam, radio, who knows), remembered the New Wave keyboards and hunted it down. Voices Carry is now on my playlist. So glad I re-found it.
In 1986 I saw this band down on the riverfront in St. Louis on the Landing and I was sitting up at the bar when she took her break. She was very cool to talk to and just beautiful. Great band.
The bridge is one the most quintessential sounds of the entire decade and the genre. Timeless.
Great song after all these years. Awesome tune. Voices carry. That year she did this song i was in Germany with my cousin in his porche 944 on the auto bon. 0:15
It's amazing how a song can bring us back into a specific place and time. Thank you for sharing...
I was there around that time, playing USO Shows. Great Country.
I was 21, and loved this song, and I’m Only Happy when it Rains. So wonderful to have lived when we did. peace
The 80s were the best musical years EVER. I truly feel sorry for those who missed it.
True.
They certainly deserved to be far more successful than they were. This song is an all time classic and her delivery is just perfection.
Her voice is absolutely amazing
Yes she does!! Incredible vocals while playing bass! Long live classic MTV days.
Imagine being 25 years and writing songs like Voices Carry and What about Love…such a talented band…each one of them brought something special to this band called Till Tuesday.
30 some years later and I still think she s one of the most beautiful women I ve ever seen, and my favorite band Rush asked her to sing on Hold Your Fire.
She is now getting her due, today she is finally getting more recognition for how beautiful she really is as a song writer and a performer with her old band. Til' Tuesday ": God Bless Aimee Mann
Wow, she nails it live!
