It Doesn't Matter (Mike_S & ORH)

[Mike_S]

A wee collab here between myself and ORH.

I had an idea for a mellow track and laid out a couple of tracks on acoustic. I find it hard to record acoustic guitar but with a few tweaks and with other things in the mix they ended up okay.

Finished it and thought that this one might be a good fit with James. He stuck down a couple of terrific vocal tracks and the spirit in the lyrics suits the tune so well.

Thank you James.

Hope you enjoy.

Hey how you doing
I'm doing fine
I think I'm ok
I think I'm managing
And even if I fall
You know I'll get back up
Get back into the fray
I'm going to anyway
Cos that's just what I do
I don't know any other way
And if we stand aside
Observe what goes on by
Will we even understand
It doesn't matter if we do
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter
Til it does
Til it does
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter
Til it does
Til it does
So here we are
How did we ever come so far
Just keep moving forward
One foot in front of the other
Getting lost on the way
We still got there anyway
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter
Til it does
Til it does
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter
Til it does
Til it does
Etc

Cheers for that Mike,a great tune to get me out of my writer's block. Plus it made me get my gear out and record again.Be warned LOL!

oh goodness this is heavenly men!  It's enough different from most of your stuff Mike that I don't think I would guess this was you playing.... I would have gotten the vocalist and it's great work from James.  The music is enough different from what James might do I think that I would be going who is playing on here? 

I like it alot!  When it got over I was thinking it was like a 1:45 song.... so that tells me it is really interesting because it flies right by...

Mike your acoustic guitar playing sounds great! You should include it some more. Jim's vocals and words fit the vibe of the music like a glove. A great collaboration guys!

 Yes the just two of you just want a listen.
Cool as anything, magic, enjoyed it lots!!

[BerryPatch]

The music is INCREDIBLE here! The production/arrangement and melody are so strong. In fact this is one of the best sounding tracks I've heard of this site, you're a hell of a producer Mike! James' additions are very nice as well.

[Greeny]

Fantastic work fellas. Sounds so perfectly suited to James that it's like a solo track of his. And I mean that in a good way - it really, really works. The guitar recording sounds great to me. It all sounds great to me. Brilliant stuff.

[Bluesberry]

That's a great collaboration fellas...........lovely feeling

[Ray Brookes]

You two have done a great job here. Love that jingly guitar and James' laid back vocal works perfectly. The acoustic guitars sound fine to me, Mike.
