about
Richard Sutton launches his solo career with the debut single, Nothing Matters Anymore.
A haunting harmonica and wistful, sensitive vocals set the tone for this lonesome tale of loss and broken love. The narrative is carried along at an engaging pace by a rhythm section of acoustic guitar, ukulele, bass and drums. The outcome is a moving song that gets the toes tapping, and a melody that lingers in the memory long after the sounds have faded away.
Richard made the transition from rock band front man to solo acoustic in 2015. He quickly attracted the notice of veteran 60s and 70s producer Graham Dee, 'Mr Tin Pan Alley', who came out of retirement to produce his material.

LYRICS
I’ve left it all
Fallen down
And my heartbeat sings no more
Until I know why
Why you left me here
Nothing matters anymore
No one can see
Why I’m so lonely
And they all think I’m a fool
Until I know why
Why you won’t come to me
Nothing matters any more
The wind blows silent 'cross the snow
And without you, now I know
I thought my will was strong, but in the end
It was you that drove me along
I’ve left it all
Fallen down
And they can't see what it's for
But all I can say is
Until you come back to me
Nothing matters anymore
Struck to the core
The wound is raw
Nothing matters anymore
The wind blows silent 'cross the snow
And without you, now I know
I thought my will was strong, but in the end
It was you that drove me along
I’ve left it all
Fallen down
And my heartbeat sings no more
Until I know why
Why you left me here
Nothing matters anymore
Nothing matters anymore
Nothing matters anymore
I’ve left it all
Fallen down
And my heartbeat sings no more
Until I know why
Why you left me here
Nothing matters anymore
No one can see
Why I’m so lonely
And they all think I’m a fool
Until I know why
Why you won’t come to me
Nothing matters any more
The wind blows silent 'cross the snow
And without you, now I know
I thought my will was strong, but in the end
It was you that drove me along
I’ve left it all
Fallen down
And they can't see what it's for
But all I can say is
Until you come back to me
Nothing matters anymore
Struck to the core
The wound is raw
Nothing matters anymore
The wind blows silent 'cross the snow
And without you, now I know
I thought my will was strong, but in the end
It was you that drove me along
I’ve left it all
Fallen down
And my heartbeat sings no more
Until I know why
Why you left me here
Nothing matters anymore
Nothing matters anymore
Nothing matters anymore

about
Richard Sutton Norwich, UK
Richard has an honesty, frailty and strength, that brings the intensity of rock to the sensitivity of contemporary folk. Described as a modern Paul Simon with a dash of Passenger, Newton Faulkner and Cat Stevens, Richard blends the poetry of words with a musical brush that is as emotive as the great Impressionists. As a result his songs are vivid and moving, and speak of the human condition. ... more
