Strong, emotional images that suggest certain desperation, a certain letting go. The greyness of emotion that comes with necessary change and moving out of a bad situation. This is what comes through in the moving, yet disturbing, engrossing, yet unsettling video to Ajay Mathur’s haunting ‘Nothing Really Matters’, which was released with his latest album ‘9 to 3’.
This is not your ordinary music video. This is a compelling work of art that combines a series of images that could work well on their own, but together they create ‘a near-menacing atmosphere’, become visceral and indelible. They form the backdrop to a song that ‘sizzles with power and passion’ and has been described as ‘deep, genuine and extremely powerful’, as ‘emotionally and instrumentally intense’. This song and its video take the listener to a raw and personal place.
Nothing Really Matters (music&words by Ajay Mathur)
I know that something happened to me, a different time in history
I come, you go, I say hello, you pass me by, you don't reply
Of all the changes you became, sometimes I feel that even I am not the same.
You filled the cup, I paid the bills, my love for you was never still
So long my love you had to leave, the end of all our make-believe
Of all the changes I've been through, the changes took and ran away with you
Nothing really matters somehow;
nothing really matters without your love...
Somehow, nothing really matters without
So listen now carefully, I was here and we were family
so long ago I can't believe, just what we gave, what we received
Of all the stones that we once threw, the ones that bounced across the tides were few
Nothing really matters somehow;
nothing really matters without your love...
Somehow, nothing really matters without
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Listen now carefully!
Nothing really matters somehow;
nothing really matters without your love...
Somehow, nothing really matters without
nothing really matters…yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Of all the stones that we once threw, the bounce was high, the tide was new. But all we did was make believe, just what we gave, what we received. The time for fun, now we just run in self defence, hiding from the sun
I know that something happened to me,
at a point in time of our history
