[@IvyMuZYk]

Oh it hurts so much watch Gwen crying while singing the final version. The original version sounds like bossa nova and jazz. I love it, very calm and chill. Gwen's voice is like a hurricane of emotions. Anyone can be a singer, but not everyone can convey emotions like Gwen Stefani does even nowadays (2023).

Ma chanson préférée de tous les temps, pour toujours, et mon groupe préféré .

[@smrack]

When I first heard that this song used to be a love song, I was surprised and had to find this. Now that I've heard this version, it makes so much sense now why the song we know is so real. A breakup from a seven year relationship makes you understand how something can metamorphose. The fact that this song underwent its own metamorphosis makes it that much *more authentic. No wonder we love it so much. If you are reading this - I just want you to know that you have amazing taste in music.

[@ishtlutz1261]

9. 9 year relationship. And thanks. If you’re reading this I just want you to know that you too have amazing taste in music.

[@MonkiePilot]

Tony is all nonchalant on his bass, "yup, this song is about me."

[@DCAbsolutJohn1]

Quite possibly the best break-up song ever written...

[@miamitten1123]

Call me crazy, but _"Don’t Speak"_ is one of the best songs of all time. Genuinely ageless. Plus I love the Spanish guitar solo and Very subtle, but beautiful violins at 5:47

[@tubelev]

+Brittany Star nothing dorky about it, i hope! but just to comfort you: I was born in '81 und i am actually kind of afraid how fitting this is to my situation. Long story short: This song gets people on an emotional level, hopefully no reason to feel bad about it ;(

tubelev eh all in all No Doubt always makes me smile..even through the hard times..that's why i heart them so hard!!! 

[@getbent4206]

no doubt

[@JacobBecomesIsrael]

Her heart is still broken. One of my favorite songs ever.

[@TOOSWEET55]

I agree and can relate.

[@cowsongs]

She always had the magic touch with this song. Through soft and powerful moments, she's able to sound like she is crying the whole time. Then I realized that she actually IS crying almost the whole time. It's so beautiful, and hard to watch at the same time.

[@jaimeduncan6167]

The Artist's curse, pain is such a powerful emotion that I can turn a beautiful song into a masterpiece destined to be remember for thousands of years. It's so much better.

[@lymmontijo87]

I always cry to this song. Not because it happened to me, but because it happened to her. And she always makes me cry.

[@ishtlutz1261]

Lol. I understand.

[@lorrainedelosangeles1294]

I cant still move on how Tony Kanal could dump her.

[@mrt445]

That original version is so beautiful.

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

mr t yes....beautiful.....but not the raw, real, emotion-packed version that it became. I don't think the "original" version, although beautiful, holds a candle to the iconic version we all know and love. I honestly think this song is slowly becoming the most favorite song of my life. Wow....

[@mrt445]

Kimberly Bellefontaine It was raw and emotional... She didn't even sing all off it.

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

Still don't think that "original" version is RAW and full of angst and emotional hurt. The original version, in Gwen's own words, was PRE-BREAKUP. It was all about, "oh, things are so lovely and beautiful, you're so good, we live each other and we're gonna be together forever....". However, the version that WE know and love was written POST-BREAKUP. It's full of the rawest emotion possible.....that hurt you feel after such a major breakup. This wasn't someone she was just kinda dating. She loved him, was planning to marry him, and they'd just built a life together for the past 7 years. After the painful breakup, the most raw lyrics were written.....and became the iconic "Don't Speak" that we all know and love so much❤️. The angst and pure emotion in her voice (she actually cried when she'd sing it on stage during concerts after they'd broken up) is just palpable. Yes, I agree.....the original version is beautiful.....but it's beautiful in that "pretty little love ballad" kind of way. But this final version?? Absolutely NOTHING compares to it. I think it's sooooo good because Gwen is singing it straight from her heart. It's the personal story of what happened to HER. It's painful just listening to it! She is amazing no matter what she sings. What a voice😍

[@cherrycola3653]

@@mrt445 I loooove the original version too. I hear you! I searched for the more complete version which is out there. It depends on where u are in life I think on rather u appreciate the both raw versions. I am sure she loves both. I loved the 2nd version when I was a kid cuz my sweetheart broke up with me so it was a death sad song. I love the original version now because I am happily married for 21 years and we do spend everyday today so of course I appreciate the original more. I have both versions on my Playlist so when I have pool or hot tub parties my company will be surprise to hear there is another version.

[@mrt445]

@@kimberlybellefontaine1215 @Cherry Cola Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the main version isn't as amazing, to me it's one of the greatest songs ever written. This original version is raw and emotional in an uplifting way, I wish they released it as well.

[@micflor531313]

What an awesome live performance! Not many bands can do this....sound like a studio when they are live. Gwen's sense of pitch is perfect...and timing. And the instruments are phenomenal....

[@LTTang]

Gwen always performs every songs of ND with her truest emotions. No Doubt is the purest form of innocence playing the music they love without understanding the mastery of their talents and immense effects they have on generations to follow. Thank you

[@superunknown831]

From the reaction of the crowd, you can tell that they were blown away and didn’t expect the original version to be that good. I know I fucken was. I didn’t want them to stop playing it lol

[@sbaires7]

There was always something about Gwen Stefani that eerily reminded me of Brittany Murphy. Maybe it's the facial expressions?

[@promocionturistica5763]

and she's gone now :(

[@valquiriagreen316]

I had exactly the same impression and a heart broken....:(

[@stanelris7930]

ive always said the same thing!!

[@micflor531313]

I don't see any other female singer with the emotion expressed by Gwen. She's practically crying in this, but does it in a way others can see and understand in their own lives. True genius: using art to express humanity to others, and in a way others can learn and understand...to come to grips more with their own relationships...amazing. I don't see anyone else doing it...and she writes on top of that! amazing talent, and self-taught, like the others in No Doubt.

[@cowsongs]

I think that by the end, she truly IS crying. And it's not fake, either. What a tornado of emotion and artful expression. If you don't feel the beauty and sorrow in her heart watching this, you can't be human.

[@andyvolvo2614]

I think Gwen sings both versions amazingly, I really like the alternate version, its a really nice song, Gwen is definitely really cool

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

Andy Volvo I think you just hit the nail on the head. That original (alternate) version is.....nice. I'd describe it as "nice." But compared to the version we all know and love?? It doesn't hold a candle! The final version is f***ing fabulous and the emotion is just sooooo real and raw. I never wish(ed) her any heartbreak.....but can you just imagine if they never broke up? We may not have this iconic song. At least not the real/raw version. Funny how life goes sometimes....

[@ghostboylit]

Mann I absolutly love her voice

[@ashleydavall]

Love this, love the fact that brother & sister worked together on this incredible track & yet produced two such unique & original tracks. Eric's original version is beautiful, with echoes of 'simple' later No Doubt ballads like Simple Kind Of Life & Running. But Gwen's breakup version of Don't Speak (the famous version) is one of the greatest rock ballads in history! What an incredible thing for her to have produced at such a young age!

[@warrenstilwell2022]

It's funny, she describes this version as..."we were just kids in a garage...diddling around"...and then she sings, with her absolutely amazing voice, an incredibly intimate version of Don't Speak. Wow, is there any better example of why incredibly talented people ultimately rise to the top. She has great vocal talent.

[@Coleine]

Not anymore I'm afraid. Now music is no more than an act...

[@AGamingGuitarist]

I've been obsessed with No Doubt recently...Such great music with a lovely and talented singer.

[@introvertedextrovert5725]

I know me too. Its hard not to be. Since I first heard of them in the 90s I was so into them!

[@ishtlutz1261]

The album return of Saturn is like, idk if it’s the best but it’s like the most... cult classic - to me. Every song is intense & meaningful.

[@TOOSWEET55]

So much meaning in this song, feelings are expressed differently by everyone in this world. Gwen definitely expressed what and how she was feeling when she sung this song. These lyrics are true

[@fredericdubois9319]

Excellent. J'adore la voix de Gwen Stefani.

[@marketweis]

Man, the songs that come from real, raw, painful places, like this one and some of Adele's stuff, just reach out freaking grab you and yank you right in... and I love it!

[@sassyfras4085]

Alanis Morrisett, "you oughta know" Her pain and anger.. wow. There is a live performance, cant remember which but older, very small stage, silky shirt, looks like on a show rather then concert but she is INTENSE! Most real performance, leaves you speechless.

[@lihlinha]

I love Gwen Stefani so much! There is no one else like her, she's amazing!

[@garrigproductions]

Everybody may have had a 'suggestion' bit there is no denying the quality of Gwen, perhaps she didn't realise then but she is truly a very natural first class singer and performer..

[@Coolness1160]

She is a masterpiece

[@ishtlutz1261]

Watching this was ..... SAD!!! 😢😖 The vibe was abnormally intense this performance, no? But DID ANYONE BESIDES ME FIND IT A LITTLE ODD THAT GWEN DIDN’T SO MUCH AS GIVE TONY A SINGLE -LOOK- THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH THIS VIDEO???? Not a glance in his direction, not a playful mug, not a single acknowledgment of his presence ... despite the song she was singing was entirely written about him & her??

[@lilymae7516]

Well she was already crying just by thinking of it, i am sure she would have lost it if she looked at him. They were together for so long, must have been painful.

[@Honeylvr]

This version continues to be my favorite after so many years. It's just so dang beautiful!

[@komihonavarro]

La versión original también aparece en el material extra del DVD "Live in th tragic Kindgom"(Bonus features>Home Movies 1992-1997) y tiene un arreglo acústico con acordeón que suena muy muy muy bien : )

The original version sounds like bossa nova and jazz. I love it, very calm and chill.

How could you break up with her. Damn!

[@marianoadasme3780]

i ask my self the same question dude

[@gman4321]

When in a band like this you get many women wanting to be with you. By having your girl friend by your side every minute of every day, no matter how pretty and hot she is, it can get frustrating,. That's my guess.

[@PauloVRN1]

+gman4321 good try, but was not that at all, cause tony said he asked gwen if he should leave the band and she said "no" haha :(

[@ahitler5592]
