Aimee Mann - Voices Carry Lyrics






I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind
But I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
To tear him away-a-ay
When I tell him that I'm falling in love
Why does he say-a-ay

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Uh-ah

I try so hard not to get upset
Because I know all the trouble I'll get
Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
And something to fear-eh-eh
And I try so hard to keep it inside
So no one can hear

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Uh-ah

Oh!
He wants me, but only part of the time
He wants me, if he can keep me in line

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, shut up now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, darling, she might overhear
Hush, hush - voices carry
He said shut up - he said shut up
Oh God can't you keep it down
Voices carry
Hush hush, voices carry

Aimee Mann Voices Carry Comments
  1. T.... M....

    One of my favourite songs of my teenage years of the 80 s she is still so beautiful ageless and still has a great voice.

  2. J.... M....

    Seemed to lack the drama of the original, but the emotions were deeper and more poignant.

  3. G.... T....

    She still looks beautiful!

  4. M.... C....

    I've loved this song since its inception.

  5. J.... V....

    The words ring true, gives hope to women who think they must suffer in silence ✊✊✊

  6. k.... ....

    “Dumb” - nah - “CLASSIC”!

  7. E.... H....

    A journeyman in their craft never falter never waiver always producing their craft. Well done. Loved it. Aloha

  8. s.... ....

    Pure joy andLove!

  10. V.... L....

    Very talented and a very underrated performer. This song is a classic and I love it alot

  11. J.... A....

    Amazing song!

  12. j.... m....

    Total babe and talent all in one complete package 💙

  13. H.... ....

    just so good.

  14. G.... G....

    Surprisingly one of her biggest hits, but not one of her best songs. I have to agree with her.

  15. P.... J....

    Dear god, what an incredible voice.

  16. i.... ....

    This was an incredible album.

  17. 1.... 9....

    I had to go she the original after I watched this you guys are all wrong she's alot better looking now. Must be the hair. I remember this in the 80's. Yep she's gotten way lotta mo prettier.

  18. S.... L....

    Aimee seemed reluctant to play this. I don't know why, it was fuckin awesome

  19. S.... L....

    Loved you when I was 17...love you now that I'm 50. Talent does not fade away.
    Keep on being you. ✌🇺🇸

  20. T.... A....

    Her voice carries well no doubt 👏

  21. O.... ....

    My god how i love Aimee Mann..

  22. C.... G....

    Thank you for creating such an empowering 80's song Aimee Mann, you helped many of your fans recognise & flee abusive relationships, for this we are most grateful!

  23. B.... ....

    So many of the comments on her videos are: "Wow, she looks great! ...and oh, yeah, good music..." People don't say that about male artists.

  24. C.... L....

    Awesome performance!

  25. D.... M....

    Always curious where are they now... these 80’s music icon! Thank God they are still around and still singing these beautiful music! Love you Aimee!! From Manila, Philippines

  26. s.... ....

    Great song beautiful woman!

  27. J.... B....

    Too bad we won't ever stop talking about her looks and "how she ages" what ever the f*ck that means. She is a brilliant songwriter and lyricist. She happens to be very nice looking, so we could say "congratulations on your face, Aimee." Bet that means a lot to her. Or we could discuss, compliment and appreciate her amazing skills as a musician/singer/songwriter.

  28. D.... W....

    I think her voice is even more beautiful now.  So pure, I can't stop listening.  Thank you Aimee.

  29. l.... l....

    My Lord she is still so beautiful if not more!

  30. D.... ....

    "Jonathan was 17 when this song came out."

    Aimee was 24. You don't get to pull the "whippersnappers" card 32 years later. Still a great song.

  31. J.... C....

    Great song; beautiful lady.

  32. Y.... Y....

    Thank you , Beautiful Voice and such a smart Composer ❤️

  33. S.... R....

    Someone please tell me how the backup chorus is going at the end of this song? I hear him throw in the voices carry, but does he say leading to it?

    S.... R....

    Time stamp? Back up chorus is just repeating "Keep it down now" then "voices carry...voices carry" several times as far as I can tell (original file isn't any more clear. Same with the version I caught in 2018) and she ends with "I wish he would let me."

    S.... R....

    @2lassies it begins at the 4:20 mark. I have listened to many versions of this song (including the "original") and it sounds to me like the backing vocals goes something like "Hush darling, keep it down now, voices carry". But at the end it doesnt really fit the time signature, unless there is another over dub that comes on top of the keep it down now part. I am in a cover band, and we do this song. I am the only one doing back up harmonies, and I would really love to learn exactly what is being said in the back up vox at the end.

    S.... R....

    @Scott R sorry I can't hear it.

  34. C.... G....

    Damn she still looks great

  35. e.... l....

    WOW she was 57 when this was uploaded, she looks amazing!

    e.... l....

    Still 56 in June/July 2017 but who's counting.

  36. f.... ....

    A little faster maybe? God, I'm in love.

  37. D.... D....

  63. A.... F....

    Does she even age??? After all these years, her voice and appearance are AMAZING.

  65. B.... D....

  66. M.... B....

    One of my favorite songs. Keep singing it, Aimee!

  67. G.... M....

    And Aimee is still smokin hot!!

  68. R.... W....

    Johnathon Coulton is on that game show on NPR with Ophera Isenberrg,Aimee was a guest on the show once

  69. B.... M....

    Respectfully to Aimee Man I never thought “Voice ‘s Carry” was a dumb song. For me it was a song about oppression which empowered me as a young woman at that time in my life. I loved the music and I loved your vocals then and I really loved the acoustic version of this song as well. So thank you for this song and may the good spirits always be with you!♥️✌️

    B.... M....

    Barbara McCroy You say some beatiful

    B.... M....

    When we found out about YouTube “Voice’s Carry” was one of the first songs I looked up from the 80’s♥️✌️

    B.... M....

    I think she only said "parts of it", but I don't know what part she didn't like in retrospect. I think she strives for perfection because she cares about her art. At least she's honest with her audiences, which I admire.

    B.... M....

    To PROYECTO RV, I promise my words are my truth and it comes from my heart and sincere thoughts. No b.s.! Thank you, take care.♥️✌️

    B.... M....

    Barbara McCroy I agree having been married to a narcissist it speaks to me in volumes. She was then and still is a woman I wanted to emulate.

  70. T.... ....

    I always wondered if this song was based from a real story of relationship.

  71. A.... v....

    Real beauty xx

  72. F.... A....

    Still beautiful and still crushin' on her. Ageless.....

  73. E.... L....

    She's raw with it and I love it! Yassssss

  74. f.... i....

    still very striking looks, she has aged well,.... most people under 35 have no idea how big this song was when it came out, still sounds great no mater what form its played in, more acoustic without all the synth....... hope Aimee has been happy for the last 35 years...

  75. C.... R....

    I love her music and she still looks fantastic!!!!😍😍😍😍😎

  76. C.... R....

    Aimee is amazing as an artist and as a human being.

  77. D.... K....

    thank YOU AIMEE WE LOVE YOU SISTER WE HEAR YOU GODS LOVE DOES NOT GO OUT IN VAIN

  78. T.... N....

    That's crazy that she would still be this beautiful after all of these years.

  79. J.... C....

    there is absolutely no way she or any of her band mates could reproduce this song in the ethereal and moving way it originally sounded. not even close.

  80. M.... T....

    I always thought they were a British band.

  81. S.... D....

    Still beautiful

  82. T.... ....

    Her eyes are hypnotizing. She looks like she's in deep thought and still playing flawlessly

  83. a.... t....

    The only guest voice on a Rush studio album ever I believe...Time Stand Still from Hold your fire. Time has definitely stood still for her.

  84. w.... ....

    What a beautiful song...I've loved this for many years.

  85. w.... ....

    She looks like a blonde Demi Moore. Beautiful.

  86. M.... P....

    Aimee Mann 2019 WE ARE STILL LISTENING...LOVE U ALWAYS.MCGEE

  87. S.... C....

    In the Til Tuesday era, she would play bass on that song.

  88. D.... R....

    I still love the original studio or live version the best.

  89. J.... S....

    Man, she looks good.

  90. S.... C....

    very rootsy version

  91. A.... G....

    So beautiful no matter how it's played.
