Story Behind The Song
I recorded the basic tracks live for the video, acoustic guitar and lead vocal. Then I added background vocals, bass and a second guitar. All recorded dry with no effects. As if I/we (all the me's) were all playing in the same room at the same time, with no frills. I eventually decided that the video didn't require any frills either. Just lil' old me playing my guitar and singing alone in my studio with no fancy edits or effects.
Song Description
I am really a folk singer and this song is a good example of my sensibilities for that genre. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Lyrics
I Don't Care

I don't Care who you know
I don't Care where you go
I don't Care what you say
I don't Care that you went away
I don't Care what you think
I don't Care what you drink
I don't Care that you lie
I don't care when you cry
I don't Care you're fooling your self
I don't Care if you want my help
I don't Care I gave you a start
I don't Care that you have no heart
I doubt you even know
You're dumb happy
I'm know you don't care
you make me feel crappy.
Living in a bubble causing all sorts of trouble
feeling glad when you're making others sad
acting like you're clueless when you know you're acting ruthless
being stupid is not be an excuse
