This is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and the fact that it took us this long to put it on “Today’s Tunage” is downright irresponsible …
In fact, this is precisely the sort of shoddy journalism that gives blogs a bad name.
Anyway, released in 1985 by ‘Til Tuesday, “Voices Carry” reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Also, the video for the song won the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist.

‘TIL TUESDAY: “VOICES CARRY”
In the dark, I 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
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
Uh-uh
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
Uh-uh
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
Oh 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
I wish he would let me talk.
