George Ezra’s feel-good folk-rock new single “Don’t matter now” announces the official return of the acclaimed Bristol-based singer-songwriter since the single “Barcelona” in 2015.
The track was premiered on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show yesterday.
“I had to work out what I wanted the album to be about,” George told Annie. “What it is you’re going into and why you’re doing it. The first trip I did was a month in Barcelona, which was pretty amazing. I’ve always loved it, I was like, let’s go back. I rented a bedroom off a stranger online. I was like, do you really want to do that George? But you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone.”
“I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time now that I’m back on tour,” he continued. “It’s having a reason – whatever it is you do, it’s good to know you’re wanted. To wake up and think, I know what I’m doing today.
“It’s not very cool to be happy. I’m going to bring it back! The best thing I can do is be honest. Even if people can’t tell that they know, they definitely know whether you’re being honest or not.”
Lyrics:
Sometimes you need to be alone
It don’t matter now
Shut the door, unplug the phone
It don’t matter now
Speak in a language they don’t know
It don’t matter now
Well I don’t think about that stuff
No, I don’t think about that stuff
It don’t matter now
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Build a castle out of sand
It don’t matter now
Where it won’t last and it won’t stand
It don’t matter now
With a suitcase in your hand
It don’t matter now
Well I don’t think about that stuff
No, I don’t think about that stuff
It don’t matter now
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Batman running your hometown
Serve you well, run through the crowd
It don’t matter now
Change your name, you won’t be found
It don’t matter now
Well I don’t think about that stuff
No, I don’t think about that stuff
It don’t matter now
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
It don’t matter now
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
It don’t matter now
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
It don’t matter now
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
No, it don’t matter now
