you and me(Hilary and Kenny Mac) words and music -kenny mac.

[kenny mac]

It was a night in September when I caught

Your eye

On a cold rainy doorstep i kissed you good bye

The stars shone as far as our young eyes could see.

And it mattered to you and it mattered to me.

I remember that night as clear as today

You asked me dance and I turned you away

You wouldnt give up and I bowed to your

charms

By the end of the night I was there in your arms

Chorus

Ohh

We sang there in harmony

Ohh

How lucky where we?

It was only a kiss as we stood by the tree

But it mattered to you and it mattered to me.

The Years have gone fast

And those young eyes are old

The stars are still there

And the nights are still cold

But the heat of our love still burns

Brightly to see

It still matters to you

It still matters to me


Hey thanks for the memories

Hey thanks for those years

They said we wouldn't last

And this lifes been a blast

It alll mattered to me

It all mattered to you.


You smile at me sweetly

And turn out the light

Our love is as strong

As it was there that night

In a world full of anger

How lucky are we

That i matter to you

And you matter to me.




I Thank god for the memories

True love made us stay

Our life shifted so fast

When I look at the past

It alll mattered to you

It all mattered to me

Hi All,
Its been a busy time of late, my lovely daughter got married yesterday and the sun shone brightly and a great time was had by all.
Now with all the planning etc behind us I can relax and get back to my music.
Just last week before the wedding I sent Hilary an email asking her if she would sing on this song with me that I had written.
I,m glad she accepted as she did an absolutely brilliant performance of it.
I had what type of vocal I wanted in my head and she nailed it.
so chuffed with this Hilary ,listening back to the final mix gave me goose bumps.
And we did it in one take 
It tells the story of a married couple reflecting on the years they have shared.
Hope you like it.

Great song Kenny and a great performance from you both !  Reminds me a little of the Pogues and Kirsty McColl !

Seems like Hilary's very much in demand on SC for her vocals - she's really good !

[Hilary]

I'm so pleased you liked it Kenny 

It's an honour to think that someone would like me to sing their song and a blessing not to have to mix it!

It's such a lovely song Kenny, I've been singing it all week.

Thanks.
Hilary

Reminds me a little of . . . Kirsty McColl !

That's exactly what he was after.

[Kenneth]

Now isn't this what it's all about?
This is beautiful, makes the whole "songcrafting" thing make sense.
Terrific guys, made my day.

[SE]

Yes terrific stuff, great duo performance.
Melodic and up beat, just enjoyed it lots!!

[Hook]

Wow guys, this is really great. I find it really difficult to write duets and you are on a roll brother. Fine job here to both of you.
Rock on!

[kenny mac]

Cheers mate,the more duettes on here the better 😎.
Thanks for all the comments.

[Redler]

Brilliant job here, Hilary and Kenny! So nice Irish vibe. Agree with Pogues / Kirsty McColl comparison.

Great melody and performance. I'm a fan!

[Jarle]

[kenny mac]

We could do with some of your stuff back on here.
