ISRC: USCGH 2222636
Pam’s silky, soothing, angelic voice is featured on this familiar lament about love and heartbreak previously released by Buddy Holly and Linda Rondstadt (who has been a big influence on Pam’s music,) among others. The arrangement is uniquely treated with acoustic instruments that showcase the classic lyrics. Brad Apple's harmonies add a beautiful texture and color to Pam’s lead vocals, and Brad and Pam shine in this duet version.
(Pam Setser-lead vocals; Brad Apple-harmony vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin, acoustic bass; David Johnson-fiddles, viola, resonator guitar.)
Lyrics
It Doesn’t Matter Anymore
There you go and baby here am I
Well you left me here so I could sit and cry
Golly gee, what have you done to me
Well I guess it doesn’t matter anymore
Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
Oh baby how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore
Chorus
There’s no use in me a crying
I’ve done everything and now I’m sick of tryin
I’ve thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby and I’ll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
And I’ll find somebody new
And baby we’ll say we’re through
And you won’t matter anymore
Repeat chorus
Now you go your way baby and I’ll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
And I’ll find somebody new
And baby we’ll say we’re through
And you won’t matter anymore
You won’t matter anymore
You won’t matter anymore
