I can't remember when I posted about listening to Voices Carry in full again, but I remember mentioning how "Don't Watch Me Bleed" and "Are You Serious?" sounded like the same song which apparently wasn't really a problem because "Are You Serious?" was actually only ever the b-side to a single and not actually on the album (but that pains me because that song is SO GOOD and, tbh, I prefer it by MILES to "Don't Watch Me Bleed", BUT I DIGRESS).

Nonetheless, the guitar work on this song is INSANE. My favorite part is during the lyric "And smile at me and sound so sincere?" - the tension created by the guitar during that line (especially right after Aimee sings "And smile at me") is chills-inducing, it is so fucking good. Robert Holmes is a hell of a guitarist, apparently, but tbh ALL of 'Til Tuesday were/are talented as fuck. The talent of all of the musicians involved are definitely what make 'Til Tuesday one of my favorite bands, and Aimee Mann is a PHENOMENAL lyricist. I don't know if this means very much to say it, but she's legitimately one of the few songwriters who can convince me of anything as it pertains to the subject of love, or heartbreak, or whatever. I may not have ever experienced it myself, personally, but the way Aimee writes and sings makes me feel like I have. That is the mark of a truly talented writer (which I would know, as a writer, myself, though not a songwriter)!

Voices Carry.

Release: September 20, 1986

Lyrics:

Living on silence

Living by the book

You get it to a science

Of living on one good look

So put out all the fires

And blow away the smoke

I'm getting pretty tired

Of living on hope

So what about love, baby

What about making room for two

What about love, baby

What about you

Living on daydreams

Walking in my sleep

And nothing is as it seems

When you're in so deep

So put out all the fires

And blow away the smoke

Unless you're getting tired

Of living on hope

So what about love, baby

What about making room for two

What about love, baby

What about you

What about love, baby

What about making room for two

What about love, baby

What about you

What about love, baby

What about making room for two

What about love, baby

What about you

Songwriter: Aimee Mann

What about you

What about you

What about me

'Til Tuesday - Voices Carry

I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind But I'm frightened of the things I might find There must be something he's thinking of to tear him away When I tell him that I'm falling in love, why does he say Hush hush, keep it down now Voices carry Hush hush, keep it down now Voices carry 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 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

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 carryHush hush, keep it down now Voices carry Oh, hush hush, shut up now Voices carry Oh, hush hush, keep it down now Voices carry Oh, hush hush, darling, she might overhear Voices carry Oh no Voices carry Hush hush, he said shut up, he said shut up Voices carry Oh God can't you keep it down? Voices carry Hush hush Voices carry I wish he would let me talk

Aimee Mann -  'Til Tuesday

[musicrunsthroughmysoul]

Maybe it's because I've heard "Voices Carry" a million times (appropriately, being 'Til Tuesday's biggest hit), but this song can make me get up and DANCE like not many other songs motivate me to do, and I think "I Could Get Used to This" is actually my favorite song off of Voices Carry. Also because I've gotten so used to it (enjoying it so much; also, pun intended) that I don't get tired of it, unlike any other songs on the rest of the album (sorry to "Voices Carry" and "Love in a Vacuum").
