Nothing Else Matters

This song is a poignant blend of heart wrenching emotions that manages to rip the heart from all angles. It magnificently borrows the best in rock and the classical.

It needs no explaining. The lyrics and the arrangement says it all.

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters  

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters  

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters  

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know  

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters  

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know  

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say  

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters  

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know  

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

It has become one of my favorites and one of the few songs I’ve mastered in the acoustic guitar but shamefully forgotten.

When nothing else matters… we can always seek refuge between the notes of this masterpiece.
