Matter To You

Sasha Alex Sloan's song 'Matter To You' delves into the profound feeling of insignificance that many people experience in the vastness of the world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's struggle with feeling small and unimportant amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City. The bright lights and the millions of people living their own lives make the artist feel like a mere stranger, a face that will never be known. This sense of anonymity and unimportance is a common theme in large urban environments, where the sheer scale of the city can make individuals feel lost and insignificant.

However, the song takes a turn towards hope and affirmation through the presence of a significant other. Despite the overwhelming size of the world and the artist's feelings of being 'nobody at all,' the love and care from this person make them feel seen and valued. The chorus emphasizes this transformation, where the artist feels like 'someone' and knows they 'matter' because of the love they receive. This relationship acts as a beacon of light, providing a sense of importance and belonging that counters the feelings of insignificance.

The song also touches on the discomfort of social situations, such as busy parties where the music is too loud, and the artist feels invisible. Yet, the presence of their significant other in these moments makes them feel better and more important. This highlights the power of personal connections in providing comfort and a sense of identity. 'Matter To You' is a heartfelt exploration of how love and meaningful relationships can anchor us and give us a sense of purpose in an otherwise overwhelming world.
