<blockquote><p><span style="color:#339966;"><em>“Don’t Say” is a song about endings. Between being stuck and leaving, there’s always a choice – this song was created in that space. It&#8217;s a pleading refrain from a strained relationship. Maybe we can get past this, or maybe it’s over. – Of Gentlemen &; Cowards</em></span></p></blockquote>

<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Say&#8221; is the latest song from Of Gentlemen &; Cowards. The music is upbeat and happy, although the lyrics hit on a tender topic; deciding whether or not to stay in a relationship. The musical approach is so upbeat that the song could even be danced to. If one ignores the intense message in the lyrics, they may think that this song is a happy anthem of sorts&#8230;until the song gets to the bridge and there is a space for minor chords and a breakdown. The song picks up again, musically only, after the bridge. Overall the song seems to send the hopeful message <em>&#8220;Hold on, let&#8217;s get to tomorrow, we can try again then.&#8221; </em>The vocals seem to be delivered with a sense of desperation, the songwriter really wants this relationship to work out and he may be hanging on by a thread but he is surely hanging on.</p>
