Latest song on 'Repeat-One' on my winamp
"Don't Explain" - Herbie Hancock feat. Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan. (originally by Billie Holiday)
Hush now, don't explain
There ain't nothing to gain
[Just say you'll remain]
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain
Quiet, baby, don't explain
You know there ain't nothing to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
[And that love endures]
All my thoughts are of you
For I'm so completely yours
Don't wanna hear nobody chatter
[Cry to hear folks chatter]
Cos I know you cheat
Right or wrong don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You are my joy and you're my pain
My life's yours love
So don't explain
Such a haunting song... you can tell just from the words. I think Lisa Hannigan's voice really suits the tone and mood of the song. Oh and that piano-cello instrumental bit... sends shivers down me spine! Can a person be so totally 'into' another person that he/she would overlook the other person's sins, even his/her infidelity? Is that what they call 'sweet sorrow'? Lol.
