I was never really happy with the vocal I did on the fully produced version of this song found on the CD Modern Voices. Singing in front of a major musical talent like Chris Pati was always a bit intimidating and I think you can hear that in my slightly tentative performance. However, I always liked the song and I thought it would be a challenge to just do an acoustic version of it without all the funky garnish we layered at Backdoor Studios. The song itself was written right after Chris Pati and I returned from the famed Geroldo Rivera TV show. You know the one where the skin heads on the program break into a fight and Geroldo is beating the snot out of some kid and he gets his nose broken? We were there. The beginning of reality TV! Exactly 20 years before my
dad died of a heart attack.

lyrics

LOVE OVER MATTER

In the days when your deepest dreams seem far away
It's so hard to come alive

Nothing new ever seems to fit in the hole in your life
Such an effort to survive

Know the truth deep in your heart
And trust things will work out somehow

Hold Me Now
'Cause I Feel The Power Coming Over Me To - night woo - woo...
Don't know how
It Must Be Love Over Matter
TONIGHT!

In the night when your deepest fears seem so alive
Blinding all the good you do
And you know that it's easier to abandon the fight
Than to try and see it through
Just trust the truth deep in your heart
And know things will work out somehow

Hold Me Now
'Cause I Feel The Power Coming Over Me Tonight woo - woo...
Don't know how
It Must Be Love Over Matter...
TO NIGHT!
Hold Me Now
'Cause I Feel The Power Coming Over Me Tonight woo - woo...
Don't hold out
It Must Be Love Over Matter...
TONIGHT!

Back when your heart was an open door
(Seeing like a child)
You lived in innocence
You loved with inner sense, spun in time...
If just for awhile

Hold Me Now
'Cause I Feel The Power Coming Over Me Tonight woo - woo...
Don't know how
It Must Be Love Over Matter...
TO NIGHT!
Hold Me Now
'Cause I Feel The Power Coming Over Me Tonight woo - woo...
Don't hold out
It Must Be Love Over Matter...
TONIGHT!

It's Only Love Over Matter
It's Only Love Over Matter
It's Only Love Over Matter
Timing is never a factor!
