No Doubt - Don't Speak (Live @ California 1997)

" DON'T TELL ME CAUSE IT HURTS" IS THE SOUND TRACK OF MY LOVE LIFE. HEAD OVER HEELS ONE MOMENT, THEN KICKED TO THE CURB ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, DRAINED, AN EMPTY VESSEL, UNSURE HOW TO PICK UP THE PIECES. MIRACULOUSLY(I'M NOT A DEVOUT, PRACTICING RELIGIOUS SOUL), WORDS & MUSIC EMERGED FROM FROM MIND, W/HELP FROM A PROFESSIONAL(SISTER-IN-LAW MUSIC/CHORALE DIRECTOR) I(WE) SET DOWN ON MUSIC PAPER MY VERY 1ST(AND GREATEST,IMOHO) CREATION, WITH OH SO MANY THAT KEEP COMING). GWEN STEPHANIE "EPITOMIZES" IN VOICE & WORDS, SO MUCH OF MY "LIFE".
