Don't Talk About Love To Me A (anti) love song with some 12 string electric guitars (played on a Variax guitar)and because you don't hear a lot of electric sitar on the forum I thought what the heck and played some on this track (also on the Variax). Lyrics & Vocal Leon I played the Sitar some 12 string guitars & backing vocal. Thanks to Bud for his assistance with the mix.

Don’t talk about love to me Don’t give me that sweet caress Don’t talk about two hearts beating Or about happiness Love’s a deception It’s a trick of the light A sad misconception A curse and a blight They say it’s forever Then they take the next train Here comes a new fool Let’s hear the refrain Don’t talk about love to me Don’t give me that sweet caress Don’t talk about two hearts beating Or about happiness See the bride at the alter Best day of her life This is just the beginning Of her trouble and strife The man by her side Yeah he’s saying I will With his eye on the bridesmaid And his hand in the till Don’t talk about love to me Don’t give me that sweet caress Don’t talk about two hearts beating Or about happiness Don’t talk about love to me Don’t tell me about your affairs You want tell a love story Go and tell someone who cares Don’t talk about love to me Don’t give me that sweet caress Don’t talk about two hearts beating Or about happiness

Hi Peter and Leon,
What a great opening... tempo, instruments, mix all grab hold of you right at the start! When I got into the song a bit further, early 70s sprang to mind. I'm still singing the chorus... I think it's going to be in my head for most of this evening! It's very infectious (in a good way).
All the best,
Noel
P.S. I'm still trying to work out which instrument was the sitar! I'll have to go back for another listen....

Hi Peter and Leon,
lyrics, arrangement, vocals, harmonies and playing are seamless. Eventually an anti love song.
Enjoyed this a lot.

Peter/Leon,
Nice job on the drum opening! Good mix. Nice repeating guitar licks for a signature sound.
The chorus is really catchy. Like a late 60's AM hit. Dave Clark Five came to mind. Freddie and The Dreamers. The Turtles. Nice harmonies...
A terrific listen. Enjoyed it.

Very nice!! Everything screams 60's (vocals, harmonies, drums, guitars) and in a great way. Even lyrics have that 60's vibe. As other said, catchy and fun. Great stuff!! Take care. Greg

This is one of the really good ones. You and Leon cross a lot
of genres and do all of them so well. We love the mid
60's feel on this. It captures all of the good aspects
of that vibe. The Monkees do come to mind and late in
their game before it all blew up they were doing some
really nice stuff.
This is a cool song, indeed, and one we'll share to folks
to illustrate how powerful BiaB is in the hands of
talented folks.
And, as always, terrific write, vocals and guitar!
