Jordan James Pinkston (performing simply as Jordan James) is a talented young singer-songwriter from Utah. This song was my first exposure to his beautiful and meaningful acoustical styling and lyrics, but it got me right in the soul and sent me searching for more. Gotta love that Spotify Discover Weekly feature!
According to the official video description on YouTube, this video also features Aaliyah Rose, Yahosh, & Daysha, and was produced in support of suicide prevention. Lyrics are down below!
Please note that my support and promotion of this song (or any song for that matter) does not reflect an endorsement or any kind of support for any religious or political affiliations of the artist or artists. I heard a song by a talented young artist that had meaning to me and chose to share it.
(So much for trying to keep politics and denominational religious issues off of my blog, huh?!)
Best to all,
"U Matter" Lyrics as written on the official YouTube video page I’ve seen the shadows from my own feet I’ve seen the rocks fall Out from beneath And when you feel you’re life’s a mess And when you feel by yourself Don’t stress Cause I know where you are And even though it’s so dark Ya I know there’s a place and a space with a light for you I know that it’s rough Sometimes you feel you’re not enough Oh I know cause I’ve been there and I’ve felt it too But when you don’t feel the love from no one else And you don’t feel the love from yourself reach out and you’ll see U matter to me U Matter U Matter to me U Matter U Matter Now I’ve seen the sunlight Raise me up Put the shadow behind My story’s yet to come And when you feel it’s far away Remember you’re here for a reason And you got a purpose for every day I know where you are And even though it’s so dark Ya I know there’s a place and a space with a light for you I know that it’s rough Sometimes you feel you’re not enough Oh I know cause I’ve been there and I’ve felt it too But when you don’t feel the love from no one else And you don’t feel the love from yourself reach out and you’ll see U matter to me U Matter U Matter to me U Matter U Matter When you’re alone Pick up the phone You matter to me don’t ever leave You’re what matters in life I’m here by your side Don’t be afraid to cry But when you don’t feel the love from no one else And you don’t feel the love From yourself Reach out and you’ll see I know where you are And even though it’s so dark Ya I know there’s a place and a space with a light for you I know that it’s rough Sometimes you feel you’re not enough Oh I know cause I’ve been there and I’ve felt it too But when you don’t feel the love from no one else And you don’t feel the love from yourself reach out and you’ll see U matter to me U Matter U Matter to me U Matter U Matter U Matter U Matter to me U Matter U Matter U Matter Too
