    Been listings to this on repeat. Howard totally nails the emotions of the song and the way he delivers the lines "All my thoughts are all of you/ Because I'm so completely yours" is so earnest it feels like I'm listening in on a private conversation between him and a lover. Considering how painfully vulnerable he could be in his music and his performance of tracks like this which swell with genuine heartbreak, it makes sense that he dropped out of the scene eventually and struggled to free himself from the seductive numbness of heroin. How many times can you rip your heart open for an audience before you need to retreat to lick your wounds? I don't think it is any coincidence that Rowland Howard and Billie Holiday met similar ends.

    People accuse Rowland of singing flat (and they`re not exactly wrong), but I rather think that Rowland WANTED to sound flat. He WANTED to sound zonked and beat-out and morbid and haunted, and like he was reeling on his feet. That was his whole aesthetic. So in that respect, this song is a success.
    I really do think it`s a great cover. It just impresses me so much that he`d think to cover `Don`t Explain`, which is such an incredible dark pained haunting song to begin with. I think the song suits him so well. RIP Rowland; I`ll never forget you.

    Hush now, don't explain
    Just say you'll remain
    I'm glad you're back, don't explain
    Quiet, don't explain
    What is there to gain
    Skip that lipstick
    Don't explain
    You know that I love you
    And what love endures
    All my thoughts of you
    For I'm so completely yours
    Cry to hear folks chatter
    And I know you cheat
    Right or wrong, don't matter
    When you're with me, sweet
    Hush now, don't explain
    You're my joy and pain
    My life's yours love
    Don't explain

      Oh, I HAVE swooned. I've been swooning over this song every day for the past three weeks, or thereabouts. And oh, I KNOW Rowland is holy. And I know he carries a generation of love. We'll always love him, won't we?
      By the way, I think you're a great writer.

    Hush now don't explain
    Just say you'll remain
    I'm glad you're bad
    Hush now don't explain.
    Hush now don't explain
    You're my only joy and pain
    Skip that lipstick
    Hush now don't explain
    You know that I love you
    And what loving does
    All my thoughts are all of you
    Beacause I'm so completely yours.
    If folk chatter
    And of course you cheat
    Right or wrong don't matter
    When I'm with you sleep.
    Hush little baby don't you cry
    I'll never go away.
