A love song about that special person who keeps you grounded and who stands by you, no matter what or why. Literally, the only thing that matters is you. An Americana-Rock song featuring male vocals (Sean Killeen). Written originally by Robert Quigley but with significant musical contribution (including production) from Bob Bentley.  

Lyrics:
A wise man once wrote a song that said
no matter what true love will save the day

There’s no one else who can do what you do,
And make me feel like I’m king of your world
You pick me up, when I’m feeling the blues
And tell me that our love’s forever too

Yes you do
Doesn’t matter what our love goes through,
You stand true
The only thing that matters is you

We’ve been through ups and we’ve been through downs,
But you’ve stood by me, through and through
You keep me calm when there’s chaos in view
My guiding light who shines so bright, it’s you

Yes it’s you
Doesn't matter what our love goes through,
You stand true
The only thing that matters is you

The future’s bright when I look in your eyes
I know together we’re invincible
Those lifelong goals that I want to pursue
I know I’ll smash with love and drive from you

Yes, from you
Doesn’t matter what our love goes through,
You stand true
The only thing that matters is you

Simply you
Doesn’t matter what our love goes through
You stand true
The only thing that matters is you

A wise man once wrote a song that said
no matter what true love will save the day

The Only Thing (That Matters)

A love song about that special person who keeps you grounded and who stands by you, no matter what or why. Literally, the only thing that matters is you. An Americana-Rock song featuring male vocals (Sean Killeen). Written originally by Robert Quigley but with significant musical contribution (including production) from Bob Bentley.

***"Positive, humanist lyrics...and a sure grip on the chamber-pop style...makes this Scot's recordings a no-brainer for film or tv placements" (Music Connection Review, August 2022)***
Original Quigley is based in the Scottish Highlands. He writes music based on real life experiences that have helped him create the music which drips emotion and passion in every word and melody. Recent successes include "The Place That We Know" placing as Category Winner in West Coast Songwriter's International Contest (May'22) and multiple tracks placing as semi-finalists in both UK Songwriting Contest and "Unsigned Only" competitions.

The great news is the song co written with Mike Baldwin, Can't Lose Those Memories, has won the Country category in the UK Songwriting Contest 2024.  I've had a few final places but never a win, I'm a very happy man.  Thank you for wonderful lyrics Mike.
I have been a guitar player and lead vocalist since the age of 13, performing in bands of varying genres including Pop, Heavy Rock, Folk & Modern Country.  Main instrument is the guitar, influenced by a variety of artistes and styles including Mark Knopfler, The Eagles, Don Williams, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Deep Purple and Santana. This has helped me to perform and write in different genres but I particularly enjoy Americana, modern country music and instrumental themes/incidental music.  
I play keyboard well enough to provide accompaniment and additional instrumentation to my recordings.  Now retired, I write, record and produce from a home studio.  Songwriting successes include shortlisted lyrics for a Commonwealth Song for HM The Queen in 2022, a song to be presented to Sir Cliff Richard in 2018, several UK Songwriting Contest Finalist Places and appearances on BBC radio in the UK.  I have successful collaborated with several other writers and performers across the UK and US.
