everything matters (when it comes to you) (commentary) Songtext
von 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)"
