About This Track

The Voices Carry Songfacts says: The haunting, captivating tone of this song hit like a sledgehammer in 1985, when all else seemed to be twang and bubblegum. Notice the intense bass playing under the husky vocal declaring each line like an entry in a diary. There are very dark undertones in the song, hinting at an abusive relationship - “I try so hard not to get upset, because I know all the trouble I’ll get. ” And while at first the guy is simply telling her to hush, later in the song this is elevated to “shut up!”
