Текст песни everything matters (when it comes to you) - commentary - San Holo

Right, so here we are
Hello beautiful people
This is San, San Holo
Welcome to the "album1" commentary album
I don't even know where to start, um
This album has been such a beautiful chapter of my life
Both the writing and touring side of it
I thought it'd be cool to tell you guys a little bit more about the songs, you know
About what they mean to me, and maybe a little bit about the process behind it
As you might know, I wrote most of the album at an Airbnb
In Echo Park, LA, no fancy studio
Or expensive equipment
Just a laptop, some old tape machine and a bunch of guitars
Often times surrounded by beautiful, genuine people I am happy to call my friends
Let's start with the first song, of course
"everything matters (when it comes to you)"
With "album1" I really wanted to bring back the guitar in my music
I studied guitar, I used to play guitar in bands
I was a guitar teacher for many years
But when I started producing music as San Holo
I kind of stopped playing because I was just so inspired by the entire electronic music world
And instead of a guitar I grabbed a keyboard or a drum machine to express myself
However I really started to miss the sound and vibe of guitars
And one night on tour I was messing around on my guitar
Because I was feeling kind of weird
You know how that goes
At some point I played this thing
I don't know why but it felt like something special that I had to record
So I recorded
And then it kinda evolved into

And then I stopped recording and I went on with life
And I forgot I recorded it
And I think almost a year later, when I started writing "album1" I rediscovered it
And realised this was the intro for my album
There's a little guitar harmony, later in the song
That I was pretty excited about when I wrote it
This is guitar one

And then together with the second guitar, it sounds like
One, two, three, four

Something like that
About the lyrics
I sampled the line "everything matters (when it comes to you)" from an old song my friend Appleby made
I actually put a part of this song in there as well
It's kind of like a thank you to him
But yeah, "everything matters" is just a song for someone you really care about
"everything matters (when it comes to you)"
