I'm driving your car with you sleeping in the seat next to me
Like a baby, you twist and you turn
You're travelling fast like a bird in a dream
[Pre-Chorus: AURORA]
Look at it go, look at it dance over the sky like a rocket
A love machine, a cinematic dream
So pure and it hurts when the beauty is lost in the speed
'Cause everything matters to me
(To me, to me, to me, to me)
To me
[Chorus: AURORA & Pomme]
You're a part of the dawn where the light comes from the dark
You're a part of the morning and еverything matters
Herе we are, an atom and a star
You're a part of the movement and everything matters
(To me, to me, to me, to me)
[Verse 2: AURORA]
I'm watching a storm turn into form
In the clouds of the world like a burst
It dances and it twirls
On top of the world, it is good and it hurts
Look at it go, look at it dance over the sky like a rocket
A teacher, a simulated dream
A cure, a cure for the hurt
And the pleasure you feel is real
[Chorus: AURORA & Pomme]
You're a part of the dawn where the light comes from the dark
You're a part of the morning and everything matters
Here we are, an atom and a star
You're a part of the movement and everything matters
(To me, to me, to me, to me)
(To me, to me, to me, to me, to me)
[Outro: Pomme]
Quelque part avant l'aube
Quand la lumière veut nous voir
Quelque part dans le monde
Un oiseau s'endort sans bruit
Toi et moi, dans la nuit on trouvera
Quelque part où déposer les fleurs qu'on a cueillies
Pars avant l'aube
Quand la lumière veut nous voir
Quelque part dans le monde
Un oiseau s'endort sans bruit
Toi et moi, dans la nuit on trouvera
Quelque part où déposer les fleurs qu'on a cueillies
Pars avant l'aube
Quand la lumière veut nous voir
Quelque part dans le monde
Un oiseau s'endort sans bruit
Toi et moi, dans la nuit on trouvera
Quelque part où déposer les fleurs
About
Everything Matters is second track and the 5th single released from AURORA’s 3rd studio album, The Gods We Can Touch, released alongside “A Dangerous Thing”.
In an interview with NME, AURORA said that
[…] I do often feel like this world is trying to make me focus on all these great miracles. And somehow I feel like it makes me miss out on the small ones. And that is sad. Because the small miracles happen all the time. Sometimes several times a day. And I want to see all of them. Because everything matters.
The greek god it was inspired by is Atlas, a Titan who was condemned to have to hold up the heavens and the sky for eternity after the Titanomanchy, a ten year series of battles between the Titans and the Olympians.

AURORA:
I don’t normally do features. I knew a bit about [Pomme] because she’s extremely sweet and very talented. I wanted to include some Frenchness on the opening song as a gift to the castle that gave me a lot of the inspiration to finish this album. I asked her if she could write the ending of my song in French, and she wrote a beautiful story about the flowers we picked in all of your favourite places. It is an ode to Rosendaël.

It’s a very strange story. A story I would like for people out there to figure out themselves. I contacted a French artist, Pomme, to write the ending for me. And it is beautiful. Sensual. And real. I do often feel like this world is trying to make me focus on all these great miracles. And somehow I feel like it makes me miss out on the small ones. And that is sad. Because the small miracles happen all the time. Sometimes several times a day. And I want to see all of them. Because everything matters
