Notes
Martin Gore said in the 1986-02-22 issue of No.1 magazine:
"'It Doesn't Matter Two' is very desperate. Very very morbid."
Excerpt from Electronics and Music Magazine, 1986:
And then, of course, there are the industrial sounds and treated vocals of "It Doesn't Matter Two", where a sequenced vocal pattern gives the song a distinct systems music character. Ingenious use of a Friend Chip SMPTE controller enabled the band to slow the song right down at its end without encountering any pitch problems, but musically, the piece is painfully reminiscent of Philip Glass, almost to the point of plagiarism. "Probably we were remotely inspired by Glass", concedes Gore, "though I hardly ever listen to that kind of music. But it wasn’t a piss-take or something. It was serious."
Lyrics
It Doesn't Matter Two
As I lay here with you
The shame lies with us
We talk of love and trust
That doesn't matter
Though we may be the last in the world
We feel like pioneers
Telling hopes and fears
To one another
And oh what a feeling
Inside of me
It might last for an hour
Wounds aren't healing
Inside of me
Though it feels good now
I know it's only for now
The feeling is intense
You grip me with your eyes
And then I realise
It doesn't matter
