Your Life (and mine) in song

Singing has always been a way for me to let out my feelings. I'm not one to show emotion, but if you know me, you can tell how I'm feeling by what I am singing. Tonight, I tested my voice with Hole's "Celebrity Skin". That went over well and I knew I could really sing a song that would get out some of my frustrations. And that would be No Doubt's "Don't Speak". Sarah and I talked about how awesome it was for Gwen to write lyrics about her failed relationship with her ex (and bandmate) Tony for all the world to see. Gwen's songs have always been about putting her heart and feelings out there.

So, yeah. I chose that song to sing because that is how I am feeling. And it felt good to sing one like I really meant it and have other people appreciate the intensity of what I was doing.

Don't speak...
I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons.
Don't tell me because it hurts.....
