My entry for open mic! Cover of Billie Holiday. Wanted to bring this one for a long time.
Piano skills are a bit dusty (working on it 😃). I played a lot of 'mistakes' but eventually I think they work with the song.
Billie is one of my favorite artists. Together with Nina Simone and Ella fitzgerald.
They thought me so much about raw emotion and learned me deal with perfect imperfection.
Here the lyrics of the song:
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
Good luck everybody! 🌻 🌻
Love LOE ♡
