You young ladies totally get the message of this song. A mature reaction, and you're showing wisdom far beyond your years in your post- song reaction. Well done. Aside from the powerful and poignant storyline, the music is so mesmerizing. It sticks with you in its dark way - you'll never forget it. One of the 80s touchstone pieces. Still stands up well more than 35 years later.
That was, indeed, a powerful song. The dichotomy between the rather beautiful, mainly calm, voice and the situation lifts this beyond being just a great song.
It's easy to see on your faces how it strained your hearts. Mine too. And I'm a guy. It still brings tears to my eyes whenever I see the video. I see it as an anthem for freedom from abusive relationships. Amiee Mann's vocals are hauntingly beautiful. Best of all, they carry weight of fear and angst. So powerful. My most favorite part is the line "Shut up, shut up, she might overhear," which hints there is more behind this song.
@Dana's Faith: Hello ladies, not sure if you knew this or not, but this singer actually wrote this about a male friend of hers whom was being abused by his girlfriend. She ended up singing it from the perspective of a woman singing about a man. I enjoy how it shows that both men and women can be victims of abuse. I really enjoy your videos, good job young ladies! Take care and thank you for advocating for victims.❤️
This song is one of my favorites from this era, and it is indeed very powerful. Your reactions are the correct ones because you connected to it emotionally.
One of the best songs of the 80's. I remember when it came out in the mid 80's. It was awesome then and still today. Timeless classic that I never gets old.
I was lucky enough to meet Aimee Mann back in 1981 about a year or two before the sun became popular I talked to her for about 10 minutes as she was working as a manager in Boston at a record shop called Newbury comics. She asked me why I bought so many records as my shopping cart was full of music LOL. I said I'm planning on being a music agent someday and I need to know what's going on in the music scene. She said oh why don't you book my band into Providence area as that's where we were from. I said what's the name of your band and she said promptly the young snakes! Proceeded to give me a cassette tape and listen to it on the way home. It was a pretty good song and album but very artsy Rock nothing like this song at all whatsoever. I did get her a gig in Providence as she promised for about $150 as an opener for some national rock band at the time. However I will never forget her in the conversation we had at Newbury comics when she was a young lady in her early twenties not even looking for fame. Yes the song is about an abusive boyfriend she had. Obviously sending a message but also a great song and great lyrics from a wonderful human being. That's my story. PS, she had eyes you can see through and beauty beyond believable
Just by your reactions mid song......I can tell you girls know someone that was or is in a relationship like that..... I hope everything is OK now....thanks for finishing the reaction🙏❤️
You both are awesome! Thanks for the great reaction to this song. I have a 31 year old daughter and 20 year old twin daughters. Also have 30 year old and 20 year old nieces. So I am very empathetic to women's issues and situations described in this song.
My favorite song from her! She's got the right amount of energy and she's quite talented. You can see her with the band Rush in their song "Time Stand Still."
Aimee got me worked up when she joined RUSH for Time Stands Still. It made me wonder if RUSH was expanding as I was in a RUSH tribute band at the time the song came out.
In the years after till Tuesday Amie Mann became a very prolific folk songwriter she is just incredible! She is still releasing the music and it is every bit as good as it ever was! Wonderful Choice girls! Yeee!
Its wonderful that kids of this generation are discovering music that we saw live and danced to in the 80's!! Dont kknpw how many times we went to the clubs and saw them and such memories for us "old folk"!!
Great words of wisdom afterwards, Juliet. I could see how affected you both were by this song. The singer Aimee Mann was based where I live -- Boston -- for many years, going first to the famous Berklee School of Music and a friend of mine, he's 6 years older than I, very recently told me that they were at Berklee together and Aimee Mann started as a "shy meek girl" who asked him for help with her homework once and then a year later she was unrecognizable, became a lot more confident quickly. She has had a truly great solo career too -- she's made many good albums has written tons of good songs. She's quite a talented songwriter.
Man I always loved this song! Very powerful message included! This is new wave from 1985! And still sounds fresh and way ahead of their time! It was a big hit for them that year! Great reaction young ladies!👌😎👍♥️boy I could tell this one got to you girls! Remember spousal abuse is never right! And the sad thing is that a lot of women don’t say a thing or reported because of treats from their spouses! Very sad indeed! God bless you two!🙏
great song, when someone writes and records a song they are telling a story so I like to dig that out, some are beautiful love songs, Led Zeppelin, Thank You, Tonic, If You Could Only See, goofy songs like Lounden Wainwright III, Dead Skunk, Leo Sayer, I Can Dance or sad songs like The Bee Gees, Gotta Get A message To You or Otep, Home Grown... sometimes the story is the most important part... thank u guys for for all the great videos...
Nicely done, as usual, girls!! Thank you for the reaction! Please ask your song and artists review team to put on their headphones, fire up the music and watch/listen to "The Shape Of You" by Walk Off The Earth! Once they see it once they (and you) will be super impressed fans of the band for life!!
I'd Like To Dedicate This MUST HEAR Classic To Muriel,, The Most Beautiful Person I Have Ever Known,, Malo "Suavecito"...R.I.P. Mom..Love & Miss You.🙏❤
Hello beautiful girls. A very beautiful song. Aimee Mann still touring around to play music. She brought many solo albums out. Love you much girls. Have a great concert (ANTRAX). And stay safe.
That song will stick with you forever once you really listen to it. It makes your heart just ache, because the Aimee Mann sings it with such conviction that you can hear the pain in her voice. Excellent choice for a reaction! Fantastic message from the two of you at the end too!
Same here. If I remember correctly, it was on the Hall and Oates tour for their album H2O, sponsored by Pontiac's Fiero. Crap car, but a great show....
YEE Girls YEE Nation 😍 wow that's a lot to take In . Great old song.. she Sang her butt off .. yeah if some guy ever treats you like that show him the back side of your suitcase.. then called ambulance for him 😳
Part of the problem is that many women are attracted to "the bad boy" or they think they can change him. Many women in abusive relationships do leave and then go for the same type of gut again. Break the pattern!
BTW - the song was originally written bout a girl in a relationship with a closeted female. Was re-written due to pressure from the studio If you change the pronouns & ignore the video, the song takes on a while different meaning I suggest checking out her songs from the Magnolia soundtrack: Wise Up & Save Me
I was moved by that reaction. I heard it many times but when I watch your reaction, my reaction is different. When I heard that as a little kid, it was just another song to me. You know how little boys are; their world is very simple, it's all about mom and dad (and maybe siblings), friends and interesting things like playing outside or video games.
sorry mi bad english im just leaning -. My most sincere congratulations for seeing such young people talking about such good music.- I will try to be concise.- I came to live in another country. I met a couple, he mistreated her a lot for being a macho Muslim.- but I loved them both because He was a very good friend of mine.- Many times I saw his mistreatment of her in person.- I tried to talk to him but he always had an excuse.- One day we almost came to blows.- So I preferred to stay away.- One day she told me that i her best friend and he wanted to shout his pain and he told me that if one day he had the opportunity because of my way of being he would have liked to be my everything.- she looks a lot like the singer of this song.- she divorced and left from the country.- I lost contact with her .- I had never paid attention to the lyrics of this song .- my tears are rolling .- I think I needed to tell someone .- sorry girls another real life story .- thankyou -.
I remember when this song and video came out, back in the forever changing 80's! It was played so much on the radio and the video on MTV! I had mixed emotions about this song because of the powerful lyrics. I am sure quite a few people could relate to this song. Relationships.....sigh! The two of you really dug deep into this song. Great discussion, my lovely girls. You both GOT IT! Love & Blessings! 💗
Hi beautiful Angels! I enjoyed your reaction to this video. And you talking about domestic abuse will be taken to heart for people who are going through it. What makes it worse is when the children are exposed to it! It could possibly take their spirit away and that is so heartbreaking to hear! And I'm sure you will make a difference when they hear your voice talking about it! And btw, if you check out Rush's classic "Time Stand Still " you'll hear Aimee's voice singing the name of the song! Thanks for sharing!
The power of music. Love songs and songs of gratitude and joy can be beautiful and stunning. It's the songs that come from sadness and pain that are always the most powerful. These songs let hurting people know that they are not alone. When you have no words to express your pain to someone else, music can do it for you Help open a door for discussion, help and healing. Great job girls. 😊✌💙
Hi Ladies, love your reaction videos, I’d love to see you react to AC/DC’s Whole lot’a Rosie. It’s one of their least known but in my opinion best songs. Thanks
Yes, it's tough to listen to but yeah, with a beautiful voice, and it does build and build to a crescendo; and hopefully you will never, ever be put in a position where a boy talks over you . . . but every girl goes through it and has to find her voice. But kids today are so much more compassionate and strong than they've ever been, so never, ever be afraid to speak up! You're both so smart and capable and kind; you can always find that strength in dark times if you try.
I Raised Myself Since I Was 9 Years Old,, So When This MUST HEAR Classic Was Released,, It Really Hit Me Hard Because I Could So Relate To Luka,, Suzanne Vega "Luka" (Official Music Video A MUST!!)
Such an amazing song! Love ‘Til Tuesday and Aimee Mann….as I had the biggest crush on her back then (my teenage and college years). She’s strikingly beautiful. When this song came out I loved the groove and beat and, of course, her angelic voice backdropped to a song about relationship abuse and I was like….whoah….and then I wanted to beat the guy’s butt who did this to her. lol You are on a roll with great tunes from my heyday…thank you!
Ladies you must understand the cycle of abuse there is a pattern lure them in with the kind loving act slowly alienate them from friends and family tear down confidence and self esteem and then the physical abuse starts
A song from 32 years ago, and it still gets every girl's brother cracking his knuckles and thinking about 'The Godfather' where Sonny Corleone imposes 'relationship counseling" with a trashcan on the guy who hit his sister. PG reference is the Simpsons parody "You've been Marginolized"
It was pretty common in the 80’s for music videos to have spoken dialogue. Many groups tried to make their videos like a mini-movie with a storyline and dialogue.
The spoken bits were not on the radio mix of the song in Australia. That and the video gives it a sad and creepy tone, like it touches on domestic violence.
You young ladies totally get the message of this song. A mature reaction, and you're showing wisdom far beyond your years in your post- song reaction. Well done. Aside from the powerful and poignant storyline, the music is so mesmerizing. It sticks with you in its dark way - you'll never forget it. One of the 80s touchstone pieces. Still stands up well more than 35 years later.
I always thought her standing up represented her finally standing up for herself.
That was, indeed, a powerful song. The dichotomy between the rather beautiful, mainly calm, voice and the situation lifts this beyond being just a great song.
It's easy to see on your faces how it strained your hearts. Mine too. And I'm a guy. It still brings tears to my eyes whenever I see the video.

You guys got it... and I'm impressed more you got it even at your young age. You earned a subscriber!

In RUSH's "Time Stand Still" song she is the girl voice in it!!! She is in the video as well.
This song is one of my favorites from this era, and it is indeed very powerful. Your reactions are the correct ones because you connected to it emotionally.
One of the best songs of the 80's. I remember when it came out in the mid 80's. It was awesome then and still today. Timeless classic that I never gets old.
Very impressed by you guys getting this at such a young age gives me hope for this generation
One of my favorites from the 80s,still gives me chills to this day!!

BORING!!! WOOO!!!
80's classic right here, great choice!!!👍🏾
Just by your reactions mid song......I can tell you girls know someone that was or is in a relationship like that..... I hope everything is OK now....thanks for finishing the reaction🙏❤️
Your insight exceeds your youth - very well done on the consideration of this song…
You both are awesome! Thanks for the great reaction to this song.
I have a 31 year old daughter and 20 year old twin daughters. Also have 30 year old and 20 year old nieces. So I am very empathetic to women's issues and situations described in this song.
The lead singer is Amy Mann, who went on to have a 30 year solo career which is also worth checking out.
Well done girls. Your growing up right in front of your followers. Proud of you both.
Aimee Mann also sang with Rush on their song "Time stand still" ✌️
Great song. The video is just awful though!
@@haitolawrence5986 never watched the video ✌️
My favorite song from her! She's got the right amount of energy and she's quite talented. You can see her with the band Rush in their song "Time Stand Still."
VOICES CARRY is a must listen. An awesome song and instrumentation galore.
I’m glad you both got what the song was about and that no one should stay in abusive relationship.
Fun Fact: the singer Aimee Mann is married to Michael Penn, Sean and Chris Penn's older brother. Now you know.
This song is about being controlled
And then finding ur voice & breaking free
Very impowering song
To all those out there find ur voice
You guys got it. You both are better than a loser. YOU ARE!! Aimee Mann!! Glad you reacted to this video.
Aimee got me worked up when she joined RUSH for Time Stands Still. It made me wonder if RUSH was expanding as I was in a RUSH tribute band at the time the song came out.
In the years after till Tuesday Amie Mann became a very prolific folk songwriter she is just incredible! She is still releasing the music and it is every bit as good as it ever was! Wonderful Choice girls! Yeee!
The hardcore punk band Gang Green did a cover of this song.
Loved this Song ❤️
One of your most meaningful reactions. Very well done.
I am glad you girls found this song. 🤘
The genius Aimee Mann. This was just the beginning of a brilliant 35 plus year career as a singer songwriter..
Its wonderful that kids of this generation are discovering music that we saw live and danced to in the 80's!!
Dont kknpw how many times we went to the clubs and saw them and such memories for us "old folk"!!
Juliet, your message shows a great deal of maturity from such a young lady. Hopefully people in a similar situation can relate and find a way out.
My young ladies her standing up
Is her breaking free & showing how strong she is
Never be held down
Be blessed
Great words of wisdom afterwards, Juliet. I could see how affected you both were by this song. The singer Aimee Mann was based where I live -- Boston -- for many years, going first to the famous Berklee School of Music and a friend of mine, he's 6 years older than I, very recently told me that they were at Berklee together and Aimee Mann started as a "shy meek girl" who asked him for help with her homework once and then a year later she was unrecognizable, became a lot more confident quickly.

Aimee Mann is a fantastic musican,singer and songwriter. Very talented.
You guys nailed it! What a huge emotional tear jerking heartfelt song . Great reaction. Now listen to “(believed you were) Lucky” by til Tuesday
Man I always loved this song! Very powerful message included! This is new wave from 1985! And still sounds fresh and way ahead of their time! It was a big hit for them that year! Great reaction young ladies!👌😎👍♥️boy I could tell this one got to you girls! Remember spousal abuse is never right! And the sad thing is that a lot of women don’t say a thing or reported because of treats from their spouses! Very sad indeed! God bless you two!🙏
You can hear Aimee Mann’s incredible voice on the Rush song “Time Stand Still”
Also ladies, this song was a HUGE Hit 80's it was Everywhere! 80's Classic
great song, when someone writes and records a song they are telling a story so I like to dig that out, some are beautiful love songs, Led Zeppelin, Thank You, Tonic, If You Could Only See, goofy songs like Lounden Wainwright III, Dead Skunk, Leo Sayer, I Can Dance or sad songs like The Bee Gees, Gotta Get A message To You or Otep, Home Grown... sometimes the story is the most important part... thank u guys for for all the great videos...

Hello beautiful girls.
A very beautiful song.
Aimee Mann still touring around to play music. She brought many solo albums out.
Love you much girls.
Have a great concert (ANTRAX). And stay safe.
The great Aimee Mann
I’m so glad to see your reaction, and as a 70 year old feminist, your righteous anger is rewarding.
You must listen to "Luka" by Susanne Vega
That song will stick with you forever once you really listen to it. It makes your heart just ache, because the Aimee Mann sings it with such conviction that you can hear the pain in her voice. Excellent choice for a reaction! Fantastic message from the two of you at the end too!
I saw them in 1985 when they opened for Hall and Oates.
Same here. If I remember correctly, it was on the Hall and Oates tour for their album H2O, sponsored by Pontiac's Fiero. Crap car, but a great show....
YEE Girls YEE Nation 😍 wow that's a lot to take In . Great old song.. she Sang her butt off .. yeah if some guy ever treats you like that show him the back side of your suitcase.. then called ambulance for him 😳
she did the soundtrack to the movie Magnolia. you should listen to wise up from the movie. and hit it on the head her voice is haunting
Awesome song you have chosen and hope those that listen tend to do something about it
buen video y realmente esta cancion es tan melancólica pero tan bella como para demostrar que ningun hombre tiene xq maltratar a una mujer
Great job ladies ❤
She also sings on the Rush song time stand still
Part of the problem is that many women are attracted to "the bad boy" or they think they can change him. Many women in abusive relationships do leave and then go for the same type of gut again. Break the pattern!
Check out the live version of this song from 3/26/1986 in NYC at the Ritz
BTW - the song was originally written bout a girl in a relationship with a closeted female. Was re-written due to pressure from the studio
If you change the pronouns & ignore the video, the song takes on a while different meaning
I suggest checking out her songs from the Magnolia soundtrack: Wise Up & Save Me
It's a from combination of sources and different relationships
Aimee Mann is a brilliant musician and songwriter.
I was moved by that reaction. I heard it many times but when I watch your reaction, my reaction is different. When I heard that as a little kid, it was just another song to me. You know how little boys are; their world is very simple, it's all about mom and dad (and maybe siblings), friends and interesting things like playing outside or video games.
Now I got it, let’s go!

Wise Lovely reaction Ladies ❤
You two are are adorable.
When my kids were little, they thought she was singing "This is Gary"...
That's Funny..Because Of The Subject Matter (Her Boyfriend Being An Abusive Jerk) We Used To Sing "Even Downtown,, You're So Scary" Instead.
LOL!
I remember when this song and video came out, back in the forever changing 80's! It was played so much on the radio and the video on MTV! I had mixed emotions about this song because of the powerful lyrics. I am sure quite a few people could relate to this song. Relationships.....sigh! The two of you really dug deep into this song. Great discussion, my lovely girls. You both GOT IT! Love & Blessings! 💗
nice job ladies you nailed it !
I love this song! Aimee Mann is an incredible musician with a great voice!
I love your two take on the song point on ...Love you 2
Hi beautiful Angels! I enjoyed your reaction to this video.
And you talking about domestic abuse will be taken to heart for people who are going through it. What makes it worse is when the children are exposed to it!
It could possibly take their spirit away and that is so heartbreaking to hear!
And I'm sure you will make a difference when they hear your voice talking about it!

And Lil Zora breaks the tension! LOL!
Excellent rendition Dana's Faith!!!
Yes, it's tough to listen to but yeah, with a beautiful voice, and it does build and build to a crescendo; and hopefully you will never, ever be put in a position where a boy talks over you . . . but every girl goes through it and has to find her voice.

The other song from that era that gets me is Luka
Ladies you must understand the cycle of abuse there is a pattern lure them in with the kind loving act slowly alienate them from friends and family tear down confidence and self esteem and then the physical abuse starts
The ending was her finally speaking up for herself and letting others know the abuse she suffered.
Some 80's singers were European and from abroad. You have rights as a woman and as a human being wether in love or anywhere...
A song from 32 years ago, and it still gets every girl's brother cracking his knuckles and thinking about 'The Godfather' where Sonny Corleone imposes 'relationship counseling" with a trashcan on the guy who hit his sister.

Timeless classic, deep song and video! Grettings from Spain, girls!
It was pretty common in the 80’s for music videos to have spoken dialogue. Many groups tried to make their videos like a mini-movie with a storyline and dialogue.
thank you
I love u gals
really beautiful song
This video is very realistic in its betrayal of domestic violence. I never want to see a man or anybody get hit or hurt in relationships. So wrong.
To - Dana's Faith: You Both are young - but - Very Genuine - In Your Music Reactions: Keep up the good work.!
The spoken bits were not on the radio mix of the song in Australia. That and the video gives it a sad and creepy tone, like it touches on domestic violence.
I saw these guys in 1983 win the WBCN BOSTON Rock and Roll Rumble at the Paradise. Aimee Mann sounds even better live
I was there! She used to be in a band called young snakes. I booked them into the living room in Providence in 1981
He was so controlling....
Great song!
Aimee Mann is a great musician and songwriter.
She was with Rush on Time Stands Sttil song. She plays bass too
Another great powerful song is an80s song by Quarter flash, harden my heart. Would love for you to do a reaction on this song by Quarter flash. Yee
It was still black and white when this came out in the 80s. Don't let anyone ever keep you hostage in a relationship.
#REQUEST........ free your mind, by en vogue. very differant and has a message. yes you can dab to it
