IT DOESN'T MATTER >new single!

[Michael Messer]

Released today >15th December 2023

It Doesn't Matter, really does matter!

Pleased to announce our second single, to be released this Friday 15th December on all digital platforms

"Musically it's powered by an urgent, circular guitar riff of almost gospel intensity. Lyrically, Michael and Chaz are preaching "the truth" in an age of ever more deceitful politicians and frauds of all hues. An approbatory reference to Greta Thunberg and a namecheck for Lead Belly's excoriating 'Bourgeois Blues' from 1937, are powerful nods to heroes present and past"

Thanks Mitch. Yes, the album release is 19th January.

I know how you enjoy reading song lyrics, so here's this one for you. All the lyrics are printed in the CD package.

IT DOESN’T MATTER



It doesn't matter if you're a girl or boy

It doesn't matter if you're hoi polloy

It doesn't matter if you say your prayers

It doesn't matter if you’re billionaires

It makes no difference if you’re head of state

It makes no difference if you legislate 

It doesn't matter if you fake the news

It doesn't matter If you break the rules 



Truth is what matters, truth is the key

Truth is the doorway, truth will set you free

Come on my TV telling me all those lies

I see their body language, I see it in their eyes

Girl from the north tried to tell us the truth
Deniers said she was a deluded youth

As I grow older I despise authority

Closer I look the more I see impurity
I wish I was content to sing sweet songs

But their system is killing us with bullets & bombs

We are all just one big flock

Dancing through time on a giant blue rock!

It doesn't matter if you're old or young

It doesn't matter if you carry a gun

It makes no difference if you’re chief of police

It makes no difference if you’re dead on the street
Lead Belly sang about the Bourgeois 
Back in his day there was no superpower
What is the point filling the air with lies

We all turn to dust when we lay down and die

Truth is what matters, truth is the key

Truth is the doorway, truth will set you free

Come on my TV telling me all those lies

I see their body language, I see it in their eyes

It doesn't matter if you're a girl or boy

It doesn't matter if you're hoi polloy

It makes no difference if you’re head of state 

It makes no difference if you legislate

It doesn't matter if you're old or young

It doesn't matter if you carry a gun

Truth is what matters, truth is the key

Truth is the doorway, truth will set you free
