"Don't Speak"? Let me speak something!

"This is the first No Doubt song I heard 4 years ago when I was in the U.S. In fact, when I heard it on the radio (not knowing what this song was called and who sang it), Gwen Stefani's vocal left me an unforgettable mark in my ear. Since then I have explored many possible resources to discover the band and the song. Still sounds great and cool! My research all over the Internet really paid off."
"This is the best song ever! It is brilliant and I play it 20 times a day! I know every word and I can not find a single thing wrong with it! BUY IT NOW!"
This is really cool!

"This single is really awesome. It is not hard rock, but it certainly is not slow. I have loved this sound ever since I first heard it on the radio. I hope you enjoy it!"
They really put all of their energy on this CD...

"It's a great CD because it contains a lot of great songs like: I'm just a girl, don't speak and sunday morning."
Taking the high road: I know you're good, I know you're re

"Few people transcend the bitterness and resentment of the break-up of a long-term, romantic relationship. Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal, however, defied the norm: instead of endless bad-mouthing and wallowing after their split, they created one of the most beautiful and lyrical of rock songs.
They know each other so well that they don't need to explain or blame or dwell in "altogether mighty frightening" memories. Gwen and Tony assure each other that they know they're "good, real good...so please stop explaining...I know what you're saying." This song should be the blueprint on how to end a romantic relationship without hard feelings; mutual goodwill, compassion, and understanding ("I know what you're thinking; I don't need your reasons; don't tell me 'cause it hurts") displace the stereotypical "10 Things I Hate About You" break-up.
Even without this backstory, this song is stunning and evocative, and I love the guitar solo. Interesting video...my continuing thanks to YouTube for (free) access to great music."
