Originally written and recorded in 2015, it seemed fitting and relevant that we completely redo this one from the ground up.

lyrics

THINGS THAT MATTER
© 2021 by Curtis Mechanuck

When our words ring out like cannon fire
in a frontal assault that’s right down to the wire
It’s a waiting game
we don’t want it all staying the same way

But the shrapnel cuts and the metal it burns
and we insist on our own to try and heal the hurt
It’s a losing streak
until we find a better remedy

Will we learn, or watch our bridges burn

(Chorus) We will come together
With the things that matter
It’s the matters of the heart
and we’ll build each other
and we’ll stand together
Come together now

We’re throwing awkward punches with our weaker hands
while the tides are turned will we take a stand
trying to find it on our own
but we’re trying without hope
