A largely unknown but excellent song from Robert Lloyd (lead singer of the Nightingales), released on his Virgin Records solo album Me and My Mouth in 1990. The song was written by Lloyd, Mark Tibenham and Dave Lowe and was produced by Andy Richards.
An earlier recording of the song was released as a single on the independent label In Tape in 1988 and peaked at number 13 in the UK Independent Singles Chart. The 1990 re-recording was released as the second single from Me and My Mouth and reached number 129 in the UK Singles Chart.
In a 1988 interview for Music Box's Rockin' in the UK, Lloyd called "Nothing Matters" a "fairly lusty sort of song". He said, "That's what I wanted to write the lyric about: a love song that was verging on the rude side. It reminded me a lot of a 1930 surrealist film called L'Age d'Or by Luis Buñuel. [It's] a pretty obscure thing, but part of this film at least is this couple who are so madly in love with each other that they're blind to the rest of the world. It's very tame nowadays, but they keep attempting to make love and [are] constantly being interrupted. The idea of being so in love with someone that everything else is nothing, you've got to do with a bit of humour."
