I dont want to talk about it


"I Don't Want to Talk About It" is a song originally composed by Danny Whitten, a member of the rock band Crazy Horse, in the key of A major. It was first recorded by Crazy Horse but gained significant popularity when Rod Stewart released his cover version in 1975. The emotional ballad was co-produced by Tom Dowd and Rod Stewart himself, and it quickly became one of Stewart's signature songs. Interestingly, the song was never released as a single in the United States, yet it reached the top of the charts in the United Kingdom and other countries. With its haunting and melancholic melody, "I Don't Want to Talk About It" showcases Stewart's heartfelt vocals and captures the pain and vulnerability of unrequited love.
