Videos

A screenshot of the rare music video of the song which shows the band members appearing to stand at an unnatural angle as the camera is tilted to meet the same angle as the slanted room.
There were two different videos made for the single. One has the band miming a performance in a slanted room; the band members appear to be standing at an unnatural angle. The other video is more elaborate, contains war imagery, single-word slogans in knock-out text, features Billy Currie appearing as a radio announcer, and Midge Ure as a soldier.
Live Performances
Live versions of The Voice appear on the live albums Monument and Return to Eden.
