Tag: NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
Metallica – Nothing Else Matters

I was driving to work the other day, when the song Nothing Else Matters by Metallica began emanating from my radio. It is a haunting tune and far different then their normal heavy metal repertoire. Depending on my current state of mind, certain songs trigger thoughts about the state of affairs in this increasingly warped world and my place in this chaotic spiraling civilization. This song meant one thing to their lead singer and songwriter James Hetfield, but everyone who hears the song relates to its lyrics in a way personal to them.
