I dont want to talk about it

I Dont Want to Talk About It was written by Danny Whitten of Crazy Horse. Initially recorded by the band in 1971, it was made famous through Rod Stewarts cover in 1975 and again in 1989. It is often seen as an emotional expression of the pain and reluctance to discuss a broken heart.
