About The Song
If there’s one name synonymous with the raw, emotional core of country music, it’s Hank Williams. His songs, steeped in heartache, loss, and the bittersweet realities of life, have resonated with listeners for generations. And among his most poignant works is the hauntingly beautiful ballad, “It Just Don’t Matter Now.”
This song is a quintessential example of Williams’ ability to capture the universal human experience of disillusionment and weariness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a soul weary of life’s struggles. Williams’ signature baritone voice, filled with both pain and resignation, lends an authenticity to the song that is both heartbreaking and deeply comforting.
“It Just Don’t Matter Now” is more than just a song; it’s a reflection of a time when life was simpler, yet the emotions that moved people were just as complex. The song’s themes of lost dreams, unfulfilled desires, and the passage of time are timeless. It’s a song that speaks to those who have experienced the ups and downs of life and have come to realize that sometimes, the weight of the world can be too much to bear.
The melody of the song is both haunting and memorable. It’s a slow, mournful tune that perfectly complements the lyrics. The instrumentation is sparse, allowing Williams’ voice to take center stage. And it’s this simplicity that gives the song its power.
In an age of fast-paced, often superficial music, “It Just Don’t Matter Now” stands as a testament to the enduring power of a well-crafted song. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, music can provide solace and comfort.
Hank Williams was a true pioneer of country music, and his influence can still be heard in the music of countless artists today. “It Just Don’t Matter Now” is just one example of his genius, a song that continues to touch the hearts of listeners of all ages.”

Lyric
For years I’ve lived without a meaningI’ve lost faith in dreams somehowI’m so sick and tired of schemingI guess it just don’t matter now.All my life I’ve been a loserIt seems that fate has made a vowThat I will never know contentmentBut it just don’t matter now.Yes I knew the day I lost youBut could not face fact, somehowAnd I knew just what it cost youBut it just don’t matter now.All my heart has lost a feelingThat meant more to me than thouAnd I will never say I blame youCause it just don’t matter now…
