about

My previous release “From the Machine” contained a lot of heavy social commentary so this time I wanted to write a song that was innocent in nature. I started to think about the early Beatles songs like “She loves you” and “I wanna hold your hand” and they became my inspiration. So, I channelled my inner teenager, reminding myself what it felt like when you liked someone, and they didn’t feel the same way. It’s always a difficult and painful time for anybody. So “Why don’t you care about me” was written.
I am particularly proud of the middle section. It’s the heartfelt and poignant moment when the protagonist turns the mirror on himself and questions his own behaviour. I really struggled writing this part, but I am so glad I persisted because it became the pivotal moment of the song. I love the 4 part harmonies they still give me goosebumps.

lyrics

What may never happen at all
What may never be
Why dont you care about me

Your as pretty as a picture of a moonlight night
My heart skips a beat when you come into sight
You take away my breath every time you smile
Can I win your heart if I walk fifty miles

Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Dont you care about me
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Dont you care about me

Eight days a week is the number of times
The memory of you is locked in my mind
I cant let you go its like waiting for rain
A week a month a year can I stay till you change


Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Dont you care about me
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Dont you care about me

You can call me a dreamer
A believer
A deceiver
You can walk to the other side
Of my street
Maybe I am truly really crazy celebrating
What may never happen at all
What may never be
Why dont you care about me

Your as pretty as a picture of a moonlight night
My heart skips a beat when you come into sight
You take away my breath every time you smile
Can I win your heart if I walk fifty miles

Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Dont you care about me
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Dont you care about me


Why dont
why dont
why dont
why dont
Dont you care about me
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Why dont
Dont you care about me
